"The FHU was a far better location with concrete pad, much less highway noise, and much better bathrooms. Sites are decent distance apart, not on top of each other but can certainly see each other."
"Our pups enjoyed the dog park, lots of enrichment items out for them. Very tidy, no trash. Nice pull through sites with rock "yards". Bathrooms were clean, staff was friendly."
"I got here after dark on my drive from the west coast to NC. There were a couple of other campers at the front of the entrance. I did a little off-roading and drove deeper in for privacy."
"Can make it up to camp with 2 wheel drive low clearance. Maybe some minor scraping as you leave/arrive over a bit of a rough ramp lip."
"CAMPGROUND REVIEW: Turquoise Trail Campground, Cedar Crest, NM
Turquoise Trail Campground is a small privately owned campground located five miles north of I-40 off Route 14 (exit 175) just outside"
"There were even prairie dogs to greet you at entrance (careful driving!)"
$38 - $50 / night
"Staying at Isleta Lakes has convenient access to the city of Albuquerque while staying a bit more secluded. The lakes provide a nice walking trail and the staff are helpful."
"We live in Albuquerque and wanted to try something close to home. This was a nice park located next to a lake that can be fished with a license."
"Two bathhouses, laundry, and a dog park make this a nice, safe place to spend a couple of days."
"It has clean bathrooms and is dog friendly. You will see plenty of wildlife as well. My only complaint is goat head stickers getting caught in my dogs paws and fur."
$40 - $75 / night
"We stayed 2 nights there when nothing around was available. When I called the young lady was very helpful getting us a spot. The sites are tight and are terraced up a hill. Nice dog park."
"Easy access to all facilities. Will stay here again when in the area."
$20 - $60 / night
"There are two fenced in dog parks. While it seemed close to I40 you could not hear the traffic. Showers and laundry as well. Staff was very friendly and accommodating."
"Good place to stop near Albuquerque. Right off the highway but traffic noise wasn’t too bad at night. Showers and laundry were clean. Has an enclosed area for dogs and playground for kids."
$30 - $37 / night
"There is an area to walk your dogs. Dumpsters on site, but no recycling. There is a "take a book, leave a book" shelf near the office. Camping World is right next door. "
"Does not have a dog area, but camping world is right next door which is always fun."
"A bit less traveled than other nearby campground. Road almost more accessible to this camp ground for low clearance. Might scrape a bit going up final ramp to Cedro peak one, but not terribly either."
"Have to drive up the forest service road off the pavement. A little rough but I have a lifted outback no issues! Highly recommended."
$15 - $90 / night
"Next to the office there’s a trail for the outer loop and nature trail. There are several trails within the park and all are pretty easy (kid-friendly) and not too long."
"Great place near ruins and plenty of trails to walk dogs. Most of the sites are very private. Quiet. Clean. The Park Ranger and staff are very friendly and accommodating."
TravelerThis campsite was efficient, friendly, and had plenty of entertainment available. We walked to the brewery next door and made good use of the dog parks.
GuideStayed twice - once with full h/u, once with W/E. The FHU was a far better location with concrete pad, much less highway noise, and much better bathrooms. Sites are decent distance apart, not on top of each other but can certainly see each other. Sites are all nice and flat. Not much tree cover. COVID ops means amenities are limited but nice dog park.
GuideAll sites have full hookups and most are pull through. There are two fenced in dog parks. While it seemed close to I40 you could not hear the traffic. Showers and laundry as well. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
LegendGreat stay! Our pups enjoyed the dog park, lots of enrichment items out for them. Very tidy, no trash. Nice pull through sites with rock "yards". Bathrooms were clean, staff was friendly. Thr highway noise didn't even bother us. Thanks Albuquerque KOA!
ScoutA well organized park by a helpful staff. The pull-through sites are easily assessable and long enough for an F250 w/30’ travel trailer and not be detached. The park is clean and quaint. *Pet friendly but doesn’t allow “outside pet cages, kennels, or pet fencing” probably because they don’t want the dogs outside alone. Overall, and it being the first time visit I would recommend American RV Resort.@
GuideSolid RV-focused campground. Half under trees and half in the open. Two bathhouses, laundry, and a dog park make this a nice, safe place to spend a couple of days.
GuideWe stayed 2 nights there when nothing around was available. When I called the young lady was very helpful getting us a spot. The sites are tight and are terraced up a hill. Nice dog park. We were thankful to get a spot at a busy time.
GuideSo, the park inside is ok. Pros: they do keep it clean, bath and laundry are nice, kids park and jump pillow are nice etc. Cons: the strees and area surrounding the park aren't just dirty, but dangerous. We heard gunshots, saw people shooting up with needles in broad daylight, homeless everywhere, urinating in parking lots etc. So don't plan on being on foot outside the park gates. Also, inside the park, their new upper management are micro managers. Don't do this, don't do that. And lied to us about no weekly or monthly spots available. People pulled in after us and paid those rates but we got stuck with $1700 for 3 weeks. A huge rip off. They triple the cost of propane, ice etc. We went through the hassle of moving to another park in the area just to be done with them. Good luck if u have dogs that need walked. Pet areas are a joke but you're not technically allowed to let your dog potty outside of those areas. Someone hollered that our male peed on a tree en route to the pet run. How do u stop a male dog from hiking? Finally, sites are super tight. And the sewer hookup for the site next to us was literally inches from OUR picnic table. All sites are that way. Your neighbors sewer hookup is right outside your front door. And if you've got a large rig with side or rear patios, don't even think you'll be using them.
ScoutRun down park, not very well maintained at all. The pictures used on their website are very misleading. Their "Recreation Hall" was disgusting. Dirty carpets, paint cans in the sink, just filthy dirty! The bathrooms were very clean at the bath house. The dog park was disgusting with the trash can there overflowing. Very disappointed and will not be staying at this dump again!
