Best RV Parks & Resorts near Datil, NM

Several RV parks and campgrounds surround Datil, New Mexico, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Pie Town RV Park provides water, electric, and sewer hookups with 50-amp service on gravel sites, though it's not considered big-rig friendly. Jackson Park Campground in Pie Town accommodates larger RVs with big-rig friendly sites but lacks hookups. Datil Well Recreation Area Campground features spacious sites that can handle larger rigs, though without electric connections. "Big rigs would have trouble fitting into this campground," notes one camper about Datil Well, despite its official designation as big-rig friendly. Western Motel and RV Park in Magdalena, about 40 miles east of Datil, offers year-round availability with electric, water, and sewer hookups on basic sites.

Seasonal considerations affect RV camping options throughout the region. Pinon Campground at Quemado Lake operates only from mid-May through mid-September but provides water hookups and a sanitary dump station. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with most remote sites offering limited or no connectivity. One traveler mentioned needing to "move down the dead end road 100 yards to get a clear enough area for Starlink to partially work." Dump stations are scarce in the area - Pinon Campground charges $5 for dump service, but as one reviewer noted, "no dump site and as far as I can find, nothing within an hour's drive at best." Most RV parks in the region allow pets, though Datil Well Recreation Area does not. Navigation to some campgrounds requires careful planning, as roads can be narrow with tight turns unsuitable for larger motorhomes.
