ART City sits on the outskirts of Tucumcari, where Interstate 40 travelers discover an unconventional camping experience centered around outdoor art installations. The campground features full hookups with electric and water connections, plus standard amenities including restrooms, showers, and WiFi access.

What sets this location apart from typical highway stops are the numerous art exhibits scattered throughout the property. Campers can explore interactive installations, some designed for climbing and hands-on engagement. The host provides tours for arriving guests and keeps the displays illuminated for evening viewing. Those planning extended exploration of eastern New Mexico can use this as a base while checking out camping near Tucumcari for additional overnight options in the region.

Beautiful place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We arrived late and the host was very accomodating with us including greeting us upon arrival and giving us a quick tour.

Upon arrival the site was lit up and was so beautiful to see all the individual ideas and art pieces!

We explored the next morning! We visited everything but 2 exhibits because we ran out of time but learned so much and were able to capture the artist names to explore more of their art pieces. There are exhibits that you can climb on, in which my entire family enjoyed.

We definitely recommend checking out this unique place! We were told by the host that they also have RVS available on Airbnb.

SiteNo site numbers. Told upon arrival. I am certain you can chat with the host if you want clarification.

Magical

If you’re driving across 40, you’ve seen all the typical RV parks in the area: patches of dirt, some with hookups, maybe a pool so they can call it a resort.

This is nothing like that.

The facilities are great, but it’s the artwork that makes this place special. If you’re at all intrigued, just go.
