    Coyote Keith’s RV Park

    Self-Service RV Park

    Reserve online, no office attendant. Pull in to your spot and hook-up. Clean, level and well maintained. Good water pressure, threaded sewer drops, tight 20/30/50 amp plug sockets. Sites are decently spaced and easy to navigate with plenty of parking for your towed.

    Black Mesa night sky

    Not only were the stars and Milky Way amazing, but everyone was so respectful with dim red lights in yes. The facilities were very clean and modern. The site itself was private and comfortable. I’d happily book there again for future travel. I used a Thermocell bug device and it handled the bugs quite well.

    Lake Alice Campground — Sugarite Canyon State Park

    Nice campground with clean showers!

    Stayed: May 22, 2024 Cost: $18 Site: Lake Alice Loop - 01 Cell Service: None (AT&T and T-Mobile) Equipment: Tent

    We stayed in the Lake Alice loop in Site 1. We tented, but it looks like they have it split between tents and RVs, and this was technically an RV site. It had water and electric, so that’s why we chose this site. Sites were nice and clean, with a fire ring and table. Close to neighbors.

    Vault toilet in the loop and running water and showers located 1/2 mile from the Lake Alice loop. Showers were very nice for a campground. They were actual showers, not just concrete or dirty tile, and had plenty of room and hooks for clothing. Two showers per side for Men’s and Women’s.

    No cell service for either of our carriers, and I don’t think for any, until about a mile beyond the shower house, prior to the entrance of the park.

    Felt Picnic Area

    Easy & Conevnient & Free

    This is a National Grasslands picnic area that allows single night stays. A perfect location for long trip back from Utah and in area without any other options (other than RV parks). Flat parking lot with picnic tables and vaulted toilet.

    Nice Free Resting place

    We stopped for 1 night on our trip from Albuquerque to our home in Michigan. Level parking area and clean pit toilets. No water available.

    I'm sure it's prettier when the Grass is Green

    Quick, one-night stopover. Adequate for what I needed. Toilets, but no shower or water. One big rig was there when I arrived, and a cartop tent camper arrived after dark. Again, fine for me in my teardrop.

    Great little spot!

    About 20 minutes from Clayton, this spot is easy to get to with my 23ft rig with paved road the whole way. Plenty of space to turn around and park multiple rigs. It was quiet and felt safe. There are picnic tables, a fire ring, and a pit toilet.

    Good overnight stop

    Park in large parking lot with a pit bathroom about 40' in center of park. Picnic tables, but no water. Quiet, very dark- slept good.

    Quiet, free, and a potty!

    Stayed here on a road trip for the night. There are no lights, so bring your flashlight.

    Goathead Heaven!

    We got there late last night, the management was friendly and helpful, the spot was nice and flat for the RV, it was quiet and peaceful… and good Lord the goat head stickers were plentiful. My dog was a victim!!

    Overnight in Raton

    We called the day we were going through and the owner had a nice shady spot for us. Very friendly and hospitable. Would stay there again for sure.

    Lake Alice Campground — Sugarite Canyon State Park

    Worth the price, kind of remote

    Small campground near CO border. Perks would be lake at top of mountain, 5-7 min drive from CG and showers, at entrance to park. Downfall is you need to drive to everything unless you want to walk along trails on the other side of road. Trails in park were nice - t-mobile service did not work at all, zero bars. Bear boxes provided, deer walked through campground often. I did see bear tracks while hiking but host said they’ve never been a human issue.

    Great stop, peaceful and quiet

    This is a bare bones campground but was a good, quiet stop on our drive. There are composting toilets, trash cans, picnic tables, and bbqs. Clean and just what we needed

    Capulin RV Park

    Nice park, small, but convenient to Capulin Volcano

    Capulin RV Park is a pretty nice private RV park across the highway from the Capulin Volcano National Monument entrance road. We stayed one night. Some of the sites are shady. The park streets and sites are crushed limestone. The park was clean and quiet. The sites are very close together; fortunately, it was not full and we had room. Restrooms and showers were clean (did not use shower). Amenities include: common fire ring with seating and view of volcano, swing with view of volcano.

    Stayed in pull-thru campsite #25 which had evening shade and level. It was a crushed limestone site. There was barely enough parking for my 34 ft TT. Neighbors are VERY close. Utilities: 20/30/50A electric in middle of site. Water in middle of site, good pressure. Sewer in middle of site with 4-in screw-on fitting.

    AT&T had two bars of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 36.6 Mbps down, 7.5 Mbps up. Free WiFi is available, but did not use it.

    The town of Capulin, NM is very small. The closest restaurant is The Sierra Grande Restaurant in Des Moines, NM, which is open year round for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Other restaurants and fast food are available in Raton and Clayton.

    Would stay here again.

    Quiet and easy

    This is a very simple dirt parking lot with a pit toilet and some picnic tables. It is right off a road so can hear cars go by but still felt safe

    Cute park and loved the dinosaur tracks!

    Everything was very green in the 10 mile trek into the park. Our spot was in the Cove campground - noon-a and no water. We have enough solar power to sustain. The lake was gorgeous and the dinosaur footprints and tracks were really interesting! The spots are not right on top of each other - so very nice. They have potable water at the visitors center. There were candies with water and electric - we were too late to book.

    Coyote Keith’s RV Park

    Perfect spot to stop overnight !

    Love this park! It's all smiles for us ...so much so we extended our stay a few extra days for some R&R ....the park is kind of out in the middle nowhere in route to southeastern Colorado..it's a quiet campground in itself , there is a train close by that passes through, not so brothersome as far as noise, the motorcycles zooming by is just a faint sound in the wind... Breathtaking sunsets, rainstorms fun to watch in the wide open space, 40 +acres to walk around and enjoy...daily we see folks out on the tracker, in the distance, farm homes with farm animals ...My pups on thier walk... enjoy exploring flowers growing "out of the rocks" sniffing the bushes, chasing tumble weeds, birds and butterflies.... Watching a Jack rabbit run past our campspot... Here comes the hail storm that was somewhat freakish, but afterwards a beautiful rainbow... No laundry No amenities if you plan to stay keep in mind by mid-afternoon folks start coming in to set up, most are overnighters! ...it's self check in with money in a box or by a phone call to pay with a card...owners in and out just a text, email , or phone call away Security lights great, but not so great for star gazing.

    Decent Stopover

    Swing by on the way to New Mexico. The surrounding area is all flat grasslands, which don’t do much for me in terms of scenery. Bit boring. However, I would much have preferred to stay here overnight instead of the WalMart I wound up at instead! There is a toilet, picnic tables, and is very quiet and easily accessible. Wouldn’t make a trip to stay here, but would definitely use as a stopover.

    Just a stop over

    Like everyone else has stated, this is just a spot to stop over for the night. Nothing special, just a gravel lot with a grassy area. There is a restroom, so that was a plus.

    Quiet and level

    Large parking lot that is very quiet and level. The pit toilets were clean and the trash and recycling were helpful. We pulled in around 7:30pm on a Friday and there was one other van there.

    GEM!

    2022 headed home from CO to Dallas and didn't want to stay in Amarillo again so we threw the dice and were able to snag an AMAZING spot (no hookups) for one night. Tha-t was all we needed to make this our go-to place to stop at beginning and end of each trip.  Lots of options for camping (we pull a TAB 400) - camp host was so cool and friendly. Absolutely beautiful views and clean facilities (we only used the toilets)  We were surprised and pleased with Sugarite!

    Nice Stop for Volcano

    The couple running the park are very nice. Bathrooms are clean. The water is off for the winter season but they do have water to fill your tanks if you wish. It was $50 for our site for the night.
