El Rancho

1 Review Add Review

El Rancho operates as a basic overnight stop along the highway in Vaughn, providing drive-in access for RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. The facility functions more as a parking area than a traditional campground, with overgrown sites that lack standard amenities like restrooms or water spigots for tent campers. Dry camping costs $10 per night, while hookup sites command higher rates.

The location offers practical highway access for travelers needing to break up long drives through central New Mexico. Penny's Diner sits within walking distance down the street, providing meal options for campers who prefer not to cook. Danny's RV Park operates nearby for those seeking additional facilities.

Great for in late and out early stay

Booking and finding the park was quite seamless. We do not need hook ups so the price was $10.00. There were no facilities, no water and ‘campsite’ was just an overgrown parking area. Great diner, (Penny’s) just down the street. So if you just need to pull in and get off the road for the night, this fits the bill
