We stayed here in late October for just one night. We were travelling from Phoenix to Albuquerque, and had not made reservations because we weren't sure how far we'd get that day. About 4 hours before we arrived, we decided Deming would be our stop and we were able to get reservations at Little Vineyard. Granted, we were late in the day, and "beggars can't be choosers", but considering we saw many open spots(it's a pretty big RV part), the fact that we were place DIRECTLY under one of the few street lamps scattered around the park was truly awful. Unfortunately, we didn't really register this fact in our minds when we first were parked, and really saw the impact when we went to bed and the light was blaring through our vents! Our bedroom was lit all night. Truly awful; not sure why they would place lamps in such a way. Also, about every 4 spots has a picnic table. We received a spot WITHOUT, even though we saw nearby sights with tables and no lamps. So maybe we were punished for not reserving earlier. All this could be corrected in a future stay and we could chalk it up to bad planning/communication.
HOWEVER, the site is VERY near the interstate. We've stayed near interstates before and not had any real issues, but with the blaring light...we noticed. And then there are the trains! It felt like the trains(I think there were 4 that night) were passing right through the park itself. So in the end, my wife and I got a terrible nights sleep.
The staff we interacted with were VERY friendly. The park is a little rundown, but has plenty of amenities from what we saw. On our site, the electric and water worked great. Sewer was right there. It has all the pieces you could want, especially for a brief stay. But I think if we stop in Deming again, we'll look further up the road to get away from the trains and interstate noise. And if we DO stay here again, we will insist on a spot away from that godawful light!!
