Mountain Valley RV Park

This was our second stay. Our first being back in 2007 - 2008. We stayed in the exact spot both times on the end of the back row with a great view of the airport.  It all has been covered here except for the great lunch the airport restaurant serves and the ability to book a glider flight.  If you have time and they have a pilot and time it is a fantastic flight. It is surreal to get pulled into the air, release the tow, and only hear the wind as you fly over the mountains searching and finding updrafts. Unfortunately, he two days we were there (Oct '24) they had NASA and the Air Force flying and were all booked up.

Grounds seem well kept, the gravel was raked at our site when we pulled in. Restrooms are ok, the issue was that the lock them up at 10:00pm and don’t open until 7:30am. It would be so simple to put a code lock on the doors. You have to pay for WiFi, and the laundry machines are paid for by using a credit card for pay cards and the machine was out of cards. The only way to use it was to create an account with some vendor online! In the morning there were planes taking off, towing gliders, which was interesting to watch

We needed somewhere to stay for one night as we were finishing up a cross-country drive. We loved how quiet the area was. The grounds are clean and well-kept. Starlink and Verizon service both work great here. Pet-friendly and lots of dogs around while we were here. No complaints!

Quiet park with views of windmills and mountains. There is a dump station not full hookups and WiFi is only available when the cafe is open. Great for a rest and recharge.

We stayed at this park for one night. Nice enough. Not a lot of privacy but the campsites were big enough, most were pull throughs. Laundry room, restrooms with showers and hook ups. Not much to do around the campground but close enough to town to get a bite to eat.

We stopped overnight here. Would not recommend more than that. Best thing - highway noise is minimal. Worst thing: bathrooms are locked between 10 pm and 7:30 am (not good for those of us with early mornings). The dog area is a very small lawn with no fencing so no off leash running - especially bcuz there’s a small plane airport next to the RV park with no fencing. Showers had hot water but wear your flip flops cuz the floor didn’t seem too clean.

Sites are right off runway for glider flying. We ended up extending stay from one night to four to watch air force cadet competition. Owners are very pleasant and helpful. Plan to return in the future and listen to the coyotes at night again. All sights are pull thru, bathroom and laundry well maintained. Airport a couple of hundred feet away has a restaurant on the grounds (did not try)

Now that I’ve spent some time in the desert I can now say that this little rv park is a nice place. Not too many places have trees, or grass, or a view, in the desert. It’s quaint and clean. It made a perfect overnight stop for a bit of “civilization” on our long journey. This park is exactly as advertised. I will say there isn’t much to do or see within walking distance, but the town in just a few miles away.

This was a sweet little quiet RV park. We spent the night on a longer trip and were pleasantly surprised. The sites had water and electrical. There was a large clean bathroom and 24hr laundry room. There are mountain views and we saw a lovely sunset across the airfield. In the morning we walked over to the Raven's Nest for breakfast and watched the gliders take off starting around 9am. I also recommend Red House BBQ a few miles up the road if you are looking for lunch or dinner
