County Road 65 leads campers through quiet countryside to this KOA property, where established trees provide natural shade across many sites. The campground sits just off Interstate 25, though multiple reviewers note the surprising quiet despite highway proximity. Dan J. confirms it's "quiet" even with the nearby road access.
Sites range from open spots with valley views to tree-covered areas that offer relief during hot summer days. Pull-through accommodations handle larger rigs, though some sites run narrow with close spacing between neighbors. Site 53 provides extra length for bigger setups, while sites 1 through 7 face the valley without tree cover. Full hookups serve most spots, and recent improvements include fresh gravel on drives.
The property includes resident cats and dogs that roam freely throughout the campground, often visiting campsites. A playground serves families with children, while the swimming pool provides summer cooling. The campground offers prepared breakfast starting at 7:30 AM for around $6.40 per adult, featuring pancakes, eggs, and potatoes with green chilis. Fort Union National Historic Site sits within driving distance for history enthusiasts.
Access involves a short dirt road between the interstate and entrance that can become rough during wet weather. Sara B. notes that "rainstorms turn" bare dirt areas "into mud holes," particularly affecting the overall appearance. The facility maintains clean restrooms and shower facilities, though some reviewers suggest updates would improve the experience.
This KOA works well for overnight travelers needing convenient highway access and campers exploring the Las Vegas area. For additional options, see campgrounds near Las Vegas.
Description
Travelers along the Santa Fe Trail used to arrive on horseback or by wagon to this lawless frontier town, where Billy the Kid once evaded a lynch mob. Today, travelers enjoy a more civilized reception at this KOA, tucked into the pinon- and juniper-scented foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Wagon-wheel ruts, 900 historic buildings and the Fort Union National Monument highlight the area's past. Lakes and a national wildlife refuge showcase its natural wonders. Come in for our tasty breakfast buffet from 7:30 am to 9:00 am at a bargain price of only $6.00 plus tax per person. Find Southwest items in the campground store. Pool: May 15 - September 15. Max pull thru: 110 feet.
