Okay for overnight I guess

We reserved an "Elite" Pull through spot. When we arrived, we saw that this "Elite" spot was dirt and not level at all. Hardly any room between our space and the permanent resident that was next to us. The stickers are terrible too so be extra careful if you have animals.
I wouldn't recommend this place but there's not a lot of options along this route so we took our chances. I will say, some of the spots closer to the office looked a little better. We were in Site 39. It's next to the dump station and closest to the highway.

Good for overnight

Stayed in a full hook up, pull through site and everything went smoothly. It has a couple of dog runs, but they are too small for play. Not much dog walking space without cacti. I was most excited about the brewery on-site, but sadly I was too tired once we got there. Would stay again for a chance to drink the beer.

Easy freeway access, close to shopping

Grants NM is about a hour west of Albuquerque. Great location if coming from the west, you’re tired and want a place to stay. The sites are pull through and full hookup. There is a dump station available if you are passing through. The registration process was super easy. Laundry facilities are available

Great spot by El Malpais

We ended up camping in the truck bed here after a few other remote sites. The clean showers and bathrooms were greatly appreciated after a few days of roughing it and we were able to restock our water before continuing on. Most people staying in the park seemed to be full time residents. The vibe was something along the lines of the "good Ol' days" of family vacationing with small eclectic parks. There's an on-site brewery and bar but we didn't stop in. If you're tent or car camping be sure to arrive during the day or talk to someone prior to checking out as those sites are less expensive than the RV sites. Frenchy, a friendly Canadian ex-pat retired uranium miner, was on site to help with any questions. Would recommend for anybody taking a break from boondocking or heading to El Malpais.

Nice spot to stop

It’s not scenic by any means but, it is close to Mal Pais National Monument (across the street) and the people that work here are super nice. Great price for a full hookup with clean bathrooms and showers.
