Pancho Villa State Park, Columbus

A wonderful overnight for us on our trip. This town is where Pancho Villa made his raid on the US late one night in March 1916. It later became the first US military air base and there are several remnants of the buildings in the park. Our stay was quiet and peaceful. The bathrooms are clean and tidy and while the sites don't have sewer, there is a dump station on your way out. We plan to return.

Quiet, simple state park a couple of miles from the Mexican border. I stayed on a non-electric, water only campsite but there are lots of campsites with electricity. There are very clean bathrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers. The park rangers and other employees are all very friendly and are willing to answer questions and give directions to restaurants and grocery stores in the area. You can see the lights of the border in the distance. There are awesome sunsets here.
