      ART City

      Unique and beautiful place!

      Amazing, unique treasure if you’re exploring Route 66 or just looking for a fun place to visit. It’s like a mini Burning man of art installations that are amazingly lit up at night! It has clean amenities and wonderful, gracious host!

      Spacious sites

      Tucumcari is hot and dry. Fascinating town with murals and history. Fantastic food if you like hatch chiles.

      Santa Rosa Campground & RV Park

      Great stay

      Perfect spot to pull off and stop. After driving all day, this place did its job. Full hookups available. Even a restaurant….we opted to cook though. The owner made rounds checking on things. Delivered us quarters so we could wash some laundry. Would stay again.

      ART City

      Beautiful place to stay!

      We really enjoyed our stay here. We arrived late and the host was very accomodating with us including greeting us upon arrival and giving us a quick tour.

      Upon arrival the site was lit up and was so beautiful to see all the individual ideas and art pieces!

      We explored the next morning! We visited everything but 2 exhibits because we ran out of time but learned so much and were able to capture the artist names to explore more of their art pieces. There are exhibits that you can climb on, in which my entire family enjoyed.

      We definitely recommend checking out this unique place! We were told by the host that they also have RVS available on Airbnb.

      Magical

      If you’re driving across 40, you’ve seen all the typical RV parks in the area: patches of dirt, some with hookups, maybe a pool so they can call it a resort.

      This is nothing like that.

      The facilities are great, but it’s the artwork that makes this place special. If you’re at all intrigued, just go.

      Tucumcari KOA

      Not a KOA I expected

      Staff was nice. Sites are not level. Cable only offered a premium sites. Game room was half open. Bathrooms and showers were clean but no air... it wasn't working. Small pool. Just disappointed not a KOA expected.

      Tucumcari KOA

      Well run, clean, and great views

      We stayed for an overnight on the way to Arizona. Check in was very easy and well organized. There is a store and they will also bring breakfast to your site which is a great added feature. If you get a site at the very back of the park, like we did, you have an unobstructed view, of Tucumcari Mountain which was very nice to watch the sunset. Clean bathrooms, quiet aside from the interstate noise. Con - was a little pricey for the area and I’ve seen people complain it’s a little harder to get to then some of the other parks, but it was really a simple turnaround. It is on the east side of town so you reached the park before you reach anything in town but you can get DoorDash there if you want dinner delivered. Would stay again.
