Oliver Lee Memorial State Park remains open during entrance construction, expected to last through June 2026. While general camping continues, the group area and dump station are closed. Expect potential delays near the entrance. Alternate dump sites are available upon request; we apologize for this inconvenience.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Set against the dramatic Sacramento Mountains, this park features a historic ranch house, quiet camping in the Chihuahuan Desert, and pools of water under the cottonwood trees of Dog Canyon.\u00a0 Springs flow year-round and ferns cling to the sides of mossy rocks.\u00a0 The water in Dog Canyon has attracted people to the area for millennia.<\/p>\n The park\u2019s namesake, Oliver Milton Lee (1865-1941) was a colorful figure in New Mexico history.\u00a0 In 1893 he settled at the mouth of Dog Canyon and built an extensive house at his ranch headquarters.\u00a0 At its peak, his holdings reached about one million acres.\u00a0 Oliver Lee explored ways of bringing water to the dry Tularosa Basin and was instrumental in establishing the town of Alamogordo.\u00a0 Lee is also credited for using his influence to attract the railroad to the area.<\/p>\n Oliver Lee’s home at Dog Canyon Ranch has been completely rebuilt from ruins.\u00a0 It is authentically furnished providing visitors with a glimpse of Lee\u2019s life at the ranch. The house is closed for renovations. Please monitor the park events page to find out when tours resume.<\/p>\n Want to Visit?<\/strong><\/p>\n The campground, just southwest of the mouth of Dog Canyon, is dry and rocky with desert grasses, mesquite, ocotillo, creosote, yucca, and various species of cacti. The sites vary widely in elevation offering privacy and incredible views across the Tularosa Basin.\u00a0<\/p>\n Travel Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_heading title=”Your Title Goes Here”
