The Best Camping Near Tucumcari, New Mexico

Not too much to keep you in town but the people are friendly and helpful. The camping is a level gravel parking lot so short stay it will work. Charge the battery, dump the tanks, and get some water. They do have corral for horses and dog area but I don't have a dog or a horse.

Great for overnight. 

This is a full service RV park located right off historic Route 66 just outside of Tucumcari's main commercial area. Lots of well-maintained full-service slots. Smooth gravel drive and slots for easy in and out, even with a bigger rig. Plenty of amenities, including a really nice FREE high speed internet connection. We learned our lesson staying at a KOA in Kansas that not all WiFi is created equal. The network here is ample for streaming videos or video conferencing. Could bog down with a lot of users but the park was only 1/3 full when we stayed. Nice sunset views from our slot. Super friendly staff took us straight to our slot and even offered to get us hooked up to all of the utilities.

How can you not love a place named after Blazing Saddles?!

Very good stopping point

After a 600 -Mile drive most anyplace may seem nice but these folks we friendly and very helpful. They gave a military discount, led you to your site, and if you needed, would help you setup.  

The water pressure is high so you will need a pressure limiter on your system but not to worry, they will let you use one for free or buy one if you want. 

The restrooms were clean and they had washer dryer units as well. 

You won’t be disappointed!

A Nice Friendly RV Park!

This campground (CG) was easy to find and enter. Check in was a simple process. However, the person checking us in was rude, lectured on rules versus simply telling us, and charged us $2 for being 50 minutes early. Our bad on being early as we didn’t realize the time change to Mountain time was so soon traveling West and even mentioned this to the man checking us in. We were then escorted to FHU pull through site 42. We were again sternly warned that their water pressure is around 90 psi and had to use our pressure regulator directly on their faucet. They also have them in the office if you don't have one, probably charge a fee/deposit, but not sure since we didn't need to use theirs. Our neighbors in 41 arrived soon after us and were checked in and escorted by another person. They were also charged $2 and that person was also rude so, at least they’re consistent. If you look at the rules on their website, the number one rule is, there is a fee for arriving early. Utilities were placed in the center of pad so that was nice. Sites are very close together. WiFi was spotty but we got quite a few OTA channels. We got 4 bars on Verizon. There are horse stables, showers, and laundry here but not much else concerning amenities, which was fine as we were just here overnight. There’s a small fenced dog area and we were told dogs must be on a 6’ leash but their rules brochure states 10’? There are no decent areas to walk your dog. Essentially, the CG is a large gravel parking lot with long termers and plenty of transient sites. We were here on a Wednesday to Thursday and as the afternoon and evening progressed, they packed in the overnighters. We toured Tucumcari and saw a few neat murals but this little Route 66 town has seen better days. Based on how we and other campers were treated plus other options in the area, we will not stay here again.

Glad It was Just an Overnighter

We pulled in without a reservation since we are on vacation. They were rude about not calling ahead and would not honor discounts. They did have a spot and it was a quiet evening. Told to call before 11am to stay a second night. When we did so, we were told, “I’m not sure about that. I’ll call you in 10 or 15 and let you know.” Got a call 30 minutes later, but had decided to hit the road for kinder pastures. Very clean park. Small store with snack items and drinks. 

Nice, but short.

Park is clean and neat and offers a great view of the Tucumcari Mountain.  Three retired brothers own it and it is well kept.  It has several horse corrals and a barn with two stalls and pens.  There is a small dog park (dirt/gravel)  The park is a large gravel lot with level, marked sites offering full hookup and 30 and 50 amp service.  We were escorted to our site and given great service.  It is near to US 40, but far enough away to not hear much of the traffic.  Sits off old Route 66 and nearby Tucumcari is a fun place to see old Rte 66 businesses with their neon on at night.  Lots of murals around town.  Some parts of town have seen better days, but made for an interesting drive through to look.  We had good cell service and they did have wifi.  Not sure I would want to spend a week here, but it was a great place for a one-night stopover!

Great stopover

Nice place, clean, security  but no shade in a long summer ( well over 100° )

Nice but no shade 

Blaze-in-Saddle Campground is immaculate, well-designed and perfect for an overnight stay. It is mostly pull-through sites with excellent guidance lights that glow brighter as you approach which helped since we hit some unexpected lane closures and arrived after dark. The sites are gravel with well-maintained, full-hookup amenities. The host offered to escort to our site, and then came by to check and make sure everything was working well after connected.  They even have areas for those with horses.

Perfect Stopover Campground!

Perfect staff! Staff was extremely helpful over the phone and showed us our site when we arrived. Beautiful views if you do a little walk around. Dog run, horse stable and very clean bathrooms! We will be back! 

Breath of Fresh Air

This is a horse and human RV park.  There is a horse hotel, Laundry, and dog park on site.  Our site was level on a moderate size rock pad.  A fire ring or picnic table was not provided.  We did have FHU with 30 amp service.  The nearest grocery store was within 5 miles.  This park does offer WiFi which had great speeds!

Kiddy up!

This was our first night stay on a cross country trip.
Totally fine, safe, good for dogs.  Shower rooms were decent. I’d stay again.

Easy and convenient 

We are spending one night at this campground, we got here a little later than desired, but the office was still open. After check in we were guided to our spot and they even helped us park. There are light poles all over, great for walking at night, not so much for driving a rig through, so the extra help was appreciated. 
There are horse stalls here, as well as a dog park. 

Nice area, great employees!

My wife and I were having a time finding a place to sleep, and we were … tense to say the least. When we called to see if late check in was possible, Sylvio (the owner) answered and immediately diffused the tension with his good nature and helpful tone. The park is well kept, and the clean bathrooms and showers were exactly what we needed. 

Great Spot For the Weary Traveller

Friendly staff and clean restrooms, all pull through sites


Great Park

Campground is easy to access.  Was the perfect spot for an overnight stop before continuing on to our final destination.    Water pressure  (95 psi, so use caution) was excellent for filling tanks.   They have an small isolated fenced in area which is great for letting pets run and air.

  

The campground host was very friendly.  He waited 15 minutes past close to provide instruction.  (If checking in after hours, they will leave the information outside the office in a box).

  

Am saving this location for future stops.

Perfect for our overnight stay

We stayed one night (May 9, 2022) after being re-directed from Santa Rosa CG due to a forest fire. We called ahead and were able to reserve a spot. The CG is easy to access with large, level, pull through gravel sites. The WiFi was really good as was cell service. We did not have time to visit the office, store, laundry or showers. This was a great over night stay and we would definitely stay here again.

Thank you goes to management for reserving us a site with less than an hour notice!

Thank you Blaze-In-Saddle CG

We stayed here for one night as we were travelling east on I40.  We arrived late (8:30pm), but everything was ready for us.  They even gave us a spot out of the way a bit so we wouldn't disturb others as we set up (they knew we were coming late).  

  

The sites are fairly close together, and the place is somewhat cookie-cutter in appearance.  Like I said, it is unassuming.  

  

BUT, the sites are flat and level.  The utilities are close together, so it's easy to park in a spot where you can do all your hook-ups without extension cords, which is nice.  Water pressure is VERY good (like, make sure you have a regulator...we measured it at 100 PSI!)

  

The next morning, one of the staff checked in on us as we were breaking down.  Very friendly.  Everything was just easy and friendly.

  

(We did not try the free, available wifi, so no comment on that.)

Unassuming but well run and friendly

Made a reservation the day before by phone, was given a site number and told we could possibly change sites when we arrived.  Arrived and saw a sign on the office door stating the staff was out working in the park. We left our vehicles at the office and walked out in the campground to locate our site.  Decided we would park in a shaded lot and see if it was reserved.  Owner scolded us repeatedly for not stopping at the office and “picking our own site”.  Told her we had reservations and had given credit card info the day before.  This didn’t phase her so we left.  Very poor customer service.

Must have hit them on a bad day.

Overall, great experience. We stopped here on a cross country trip, but every time we called (example, coming in after hours) the staff was extremely friendly and made sure we knew exactly what we needed to. A lot of pull through sites, horse corrals, a dog area for bathroom breaks, and easy access to dumpsters. Quiet park with easy access to the highway. I'd 

Nicely groomed, sort of removed

They were able to acco.modaye our laye night check in. Great customer service. They also offer discounts, i.e. AAA, military. 

RV Park Near 40

This is a really nice campground, we arrived a little after check in, but were still met at the office and escorted to our site.

The are full hookups and the site is level, the bathrooms are really clean and the water pressure is excellent. There is a pet area and a spot for horses. Staff is very friendly and wifi is fast!

Definitely a hidden gem, saving to favourites.

Glad we stopped 

We stopped here as an overnight stop from Wichita, KS headed to Sedona, AZ. The host was so nice and friendly and wanted to make sure we were setup properly for very cold temps that night. Tucumcari is a bit forgotten. I suggest, if you are reading this, REMEMBER TUCUMCARI NM and the name Blaze-n-Saddles! The sites were level and all the hookups worked. WiFi was good. It was easy in and out. The facilities were clean and they have a great rec room with DVDS to take and watch and return. We would definitely stop again.

Wonderful waypoint!

We just stopped overnight on our way through the area. Big gravel parking lot, essentially, but staff was super friendly and the shower facilities were good and clean. 

Note they have very high water pressure at the sites (95 psi) so you will need a regulator. 

Near the road but noise wasn't bad. Easy access to and from I-40.

Strong signals on TMobile and Verizon. 

Decent overnight stop

Decent small RV park with gravel sites and roads. Full hook ups.  Laundry and showers and bathrooms. Nice people running it. Fairly quiet. 

Good for a stopover 

Flat pull thru sites with power, water and dump outs. Very nice owners on site. This is also a horse camp with a stable 

Nice overnight spot

Great little gem off of 40 exit 333. Candy and husband run a great, very clean and cozy camp ground. Three shower /bathrooms set ups and very clean. Big laundry room with coffee. There’s movies to watch. 

Over night tent camping for one night 

I don't normally post negative reviews, however I feel like this one warrants a warning. Months ago, we made and pre-paid for a reservation at Blaze-In Saddle for the entire month of June. Today is May 26, and my husband called the campground to ask a question about receiving mail during our stay and their voicemail stated that they were not accepting reservations until July 1 because of flooding. He left a voicemail asking for a return call about existing reservations. I then discovered that Google has listed the business as temporarily closed, which tells me that this is likely NOT a decision they made recently- i.e. today. They've known for some period of time that they were not able to accommodate reservations. 

  

To their credit they did return the call very quickly, and refunded our money to our card. However, as full-timers, we are now faced with an entire month with no reservation, and five days to figure it out. To not contact your existing customers when you have decided to close your facility is extremely bad business. These owners may be very nice, but they have put us in a very bad position and I would never consider doing business with them again.

Caution

I have enjoyed my stay here. The owners are very nice and take care of the campground and the campers. The go out of their way to make sure you’re taken care of. Kevin will even pull you into your spot and help line your up. They have great bathrooms and wash facilities. The have 6 or so horse stalls and are currently upgrading the park. 

As for the review below they are just a little misinformed and had bad timing. 
I have been staying here since April 2023 and on the early morning of May 26th 2023 around 3:30 am the city had a freak flash flood. Most of the park was under 2-6’ of water. My camper was under 6’ of water. That day the owners, myself and other campers were super busy cleaning up our campers, cars, and the office. Not the owners fault they were super busy and couldn’t call every person that had a reservation. At the time I’m writing this it’s still closed but they are working hard to redo and upgrade all the facilities to make it better. 

Great place to stay 

Currently getting ready to pack up my stuff and get on the road, but I cannot recommend this place enough.  Kevin was so kind, helpful, and answered all of my many questions I had.  Being a solo traveler, I am always on the lookout for a place I feel safe in and I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Thanks so much for the great night of sleep and hospitality.

Feeling safe and at home.

If you are moving along RT 66/I-40, perfect place to hold up for the night. It is quiet and provides everything you need. If it is your first taste of camping in the West, if feels like what you would expect. Open scenery; beautiful night and morning skies. There might be a few full timers on the east end of the property, but they generally keep their areas well kept. There is a dog park if yours are friendly, mine are not. But there is an open grassy area at the front of the property. This campground worked well for us.

Safe, Open and Comfortable

Awesome experience, we stayed one night on our way through to California and the workers here were so nice and helpful! 10/10 recommend!! 

Great stay

   Really nice folks! Checked me in and then lead me to my site in his golf cart. Helpful info on where to find a grocery store etc. 

  

   Reasonably priced at $41.00, the site was level (gravel) and the wifi was really very good.I had 60 mb download speed and 20 MB upload without a booster.

  

    Grocery store is about a mile away and have a decent beer, wine and liquor selection. All the important stuff :)  There's also a hardware store and a tractor supply within about a mile.

  

    Close to the I-40 exit but not close enough for road noise. Very convenient!
