"We stayed here primarily because it was on our route to Northern New Mexico and Colorado. It was exactly as we expected and we enjoyed an overnight here in June."
"We were parked right on the lake, and being right after a holiday the lake was pretty much empty. They have several different campsites, with a website that makes it easy to reserve a spot."
"Love the views of Conchas lake! Clean and open space! Electric and water connections! No fires allowed during our trip. Fishing, hiking and boating!"
"Cell service is spotty, but the view is amazing, beautiful lake, beautiful sunsets, all around a great place to stay. Off 40 a bit but 100% worth it. Great fishing, great camp host! Very very quiet."
$10 - $20 / night

"Very clean campground with many spots to camp overlooking the lake. Good bathrooms too."

This is nothing like that."
$30 / night

TravelerWe 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.
GuideThis 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!
LegendWe pulled in last night and the check in was fast and easy. This is a journey KOA, so it’s not much in the way of amenities. That being said, this is one of the better “Journey KOA’s” we’ve stayed at. It’s got a descent little park for the kids, bathrooms, showers, a laundry mat and a dog park for your dogs. The store is closed for covid but they have a dinner and breakfast menu that you can call in and they’ll deliver to your site.
GuideWe pulled into this campground to escape extremely windy conditions. The park was close to empty when we got there but filled up quickly with others trying to get out of the wind. The sites are close and they are set up oddly with some campers facing one direction and others going the opposite way. We had full hook ups including sewer. Our site shared an electric box with the site beside us. We didn't use the bathrooms or showers but we looked at them and they were clean. Old but clean. The park does have a nice little fenced in dog park so your dog can run off leash. I would stay here again if I were passing through. We felt safe here.
TravelerThis is a hidden gem. We were evacuated from our camping spot in Northern New Mexico due to wildfires and set out for a new spot. Exhausted from driving, we pulled into this campground. It is clean, well maintained and the dog got a kick out of doing a bit of swimming. There is unique topography and enough to explore for a night or two.
GuideWe stayed here primarily because it was on our route to Northern New Mexico and Colorado. It was exactly as we expected and we enjoyed an overnight here in June. Fortunately we had electric power for AC and were comfortable. Enjoyed some short hikes right from our campsite. Very isolated location between Tucumcari and Las Vegas, New Mexico, but that was our intended route. Marginal highway, but almost no traffic.
TravelerLove the views of Conchas lake! Clean and open space! Electric and water connections! No fires allowed during our trip. Fishing, hiking and boating! Pet friendly, our dog loved every minute of our trip! Great memories!
