The Great Outdoors
Artesia is centrally located in one of the country’s most beautiful places, surrounded by serene desert landscapes and surreal night skies. You'll have a great deal of space to explore when you pick up your Artesia camper rental, like Bottomless Lakes State Park a short drive north of town. Established back in 1933, Bottomless Lakes State Park was the first state park created in the state, named for nine lakes with extreme depths. The park’s cliffs and escarpments were once part of an ancient limestone reef millions of years ago when the area was submerged with inland seas. Only one of the lakes is suitable for swimming, as the rest can be quite dangerous. The park is full of other geological oddities too, like collapsed caves and heavily eroded rock structures.
