Favorite New Mexico State Park?

My husband and I only have about one more month in New Mexico before we need to start heading East. We'll be back this Fall but, for now, we're having trouble trying to decide which park to stay in next. (We're in a motorhome.)

So far, we've been to Bottomless Lakes and Sumner Lake. We really liked both of those. We're in Santa Rosa now but at a private campground. We drove up to Santa Rosa State Park today to check it out and were kind of disappointed. It might have just been our mood (not feeling well) but the sites seemed tiny and close together and the lake was down so low you could barely see it.

So...I just thought I'd throw out this question and see if anyone here has a favorite New Mexico State Park. We try to keep our travel days down to about a hundred miles but there are several state parks in that radius. We're considering Manzano Mountains, Villanueva, Storrie Lake and Conchas Lake. Anybody been to any of these or know of another nearby that we might like?

Thanks in advance. I'm sorry I've been kind of monopolizing the New Mexico group lately.

Edited to add: I wasn't clear about why we're focusing on State Parks. We have an annual pass where we can camp (with pur RV) with hook-ups for $4 a night so we're looking for state parks that have nice campgrounds. We stay at each park for a week or two and explore the area and then move to another state park.
