    El Morro RV Park and Cabins

    Special Spot

    We loved this RV park for many reasons. Friendly people, creative vibe, nice campground, cozy cabins, full hookups for RVs, beautiful spot, free-range chickens, pet friendly, plus a yurt with enchanting wind chimes, spiritual labyrinth, a gong, art and healing artifacts. Not to mention the groovy Ancient Way cafe which was closed when we were there (April 2021) but opening next month. My parents stayed in the cabin and loved it, we stayed in our camper van. We really enjoyed talking with some of the folks who live there and it’s a very welcoming community. Feels like home. Morro National monument nearby is spectacular. We’d love to return and stay for a few weeks. Special spot.

    USA RV Park

    Clean, organized, and reasonably priced

    Needed an overnight stay along Interstate 40 in New Mexico.  Check-in was quick and easy, the sites are arranged so that RV doors are not facing the neighbor's sewage pipe, which is something I always appreciate.  Most of the sites are pull-through.  The park is well laid out and covered with an attractive reddish-brown gravel.  The facilities were clean, the staff was pleasant.  The park felt safe though the neighborhood around it is economically distressed.  The park is family friendly; there is a dog-park, a nice pool, and attractive common area near the office with tables and statuary with a cute bear theme.  The only negatives are not under the control of the park: trains pass by frequently day and night, and in the evening the mosquitos are voracious.  My wife and I agree that we would return here.

    Bluewater Lake State Park Campground

    Bluewater in the land of enchantment

    The camp sites are well laid out with picnic table. The bath room was primitive and I didn’t check out the showers. The lake and the area is enchanting!! It was my first visit to New Mexico and for sure I will be back! The lake is large and has fishing.

    USA RV Park

    Clean, Patriotic, Friendly

    Called day of and was able to reserve a 30AMP spot with full hook ups $39. As other reviews mentioned it is exceptionally clean, there is pride in ownership and America with a life size carved memorial to the armed services. Great play area for kids, giant chess and a pool (closed due to Covid). They were selling homemade pie and pulled pork sandwiches at check in also which was a fun surprise. A few cute log cabins to rent also. All gravel and not a lot of trees, no view but a clean and safe overnight for sure!

    Bluewater Lake State Park Campground

    Lakefront camping

    Uncrowded when we were there State park located right on a man-made lake. unfortunately, the lake level is extremely low! Decent sites each with picnic table and fire pit some with shade canopies others with a little natural tree cover, not a lot of privacy. Pit toilets, no drinking water available except at maybe the RV sites with hookups and at the pump outstation? Weak cell signal. Seems more suited for RV's.

    USA RV Park

    Excellent Campground with Unexpected Amenities

    When driving through Gallup, one doesn't expect to find such a great place to land on Route 66. On the surface it may appear to be a great over-nighter location - which it is! Level pull-through sites with a picnic table.  But it's so much more than that. First the business seems to be comprised of  family-owned and operated. They have excellent amenities including a lovely pool and playground area. Their shop is absolutely GREAT. The laundry area, showers, dish-washing area and other services are excellent.  Sites include electric, water and a picnic table. A dump station is positioned right by the exit. We had an unexpected delay for four days due to a medical situation, and they recommended a doctor who helped immensely, and they worked with us day to day to keep us in our spot as needed. Highly recommend this RV Park! Great folks!

    USA RV Park

    Dirt Sites with Some Amenities

    Not much here to write home about, but this park does offer a small, enclosed dog park, pool, a small grocery in their office building, and a “cookout” concession stand like you would find at a theme park or stadium. Their stage was being used to display a patriotic homage to the US military. No pets allowed in the amenities area. Room for improvement would be adding trees and cactus appropriate to this climate to beautify the park, because it’s pretty barren. Staff did not wear masks indoors during the rising Covid pandemic.

    Bluewater Lake State Park Campground

    Beautiful and peaceful

    This is a wonderful campground. Our site (A) was perfectly level on a concrete pad. The site came with a large fire ring conveniently located in the rear part of the concrete pad and a picnic table covered with a roofed shelter. The site was clean, spacious, and even though it was not a lake side site, it had a beautiful view of the lake. Right now I’m watching a mix of snow and rain create a misty and magical landscape. My Verizon service varies from 2 - 4 bars. I would definitely stay here again!!!

    USA RV Park

    10/10

    My husband and I were skeptical to stay at such an uber patriotic site on stolen land, (we are NOT AT ALL the target audience) but it exceed expectations at every turn. Truly a 10/10 experience from staff, to sites to amenities.

    We only stayed the night, but there was so much to take advantage I was almost disappointed we didn’t stay longer.

    Huge pool, large chess game, community dinners (no vegetarian/ vegan options) ice cream socials, camp store, etc.

    Nice bathrooms, didn’t use laundry. WiFi and ATT& Verizon worked at site. Gravel sites needed leveling with full hook ups. Picnic table came with site.


Guide to Mentmore

Cabin accommodations near Mentmore, New Mexico range from rustic to modern options within a 30-mile radius. The region sits at approximately 6,500 feet elevation with a high desert climate that features warm days and cool nights even during summer months. Most cabin rental locations in this area operate year-round, though amenities and accessibility vary by season.

What to do

Fishing at Bluewater Lake: The 1,200-acre lake provides excellent fishing opportunities for tiger muskie, rainbow trout, and catfish. Visitors can fish from shore or bring boats to access deeper waters. "Nice host greeted us and explained where the best sites were for our very large 5th Wheel. The sites with power were already taken, but we can boondock and the pull-through sites were great. Lovely view of the lake with a gorgeous sunset," notes one Bluewater Lake State Park Campground visitor.

Visit El Morro National Monument: Located just minutes from cabin accommodations in Ramah, this historic landmark features ancient inscriptions and pueblo ruins. The main trail is approximately 2 miles and suitable for most ability levels. A guest at El Morro RV Park and Cabins shared, "We really enjoyed talking with some of the folks who live there and it's a very welcoming community. Feels like home. Morro National monument nearby is spectacular."

Explore Gallup's cultural sites: Cabins at USA RV Park provide convenient access to Gallup's Native American trading posts and cultural attractions. "Gallup is a super interesting place and could have easily spent way more time than we did," according to one recent visitor who rated their experience 5 stars.

What campers like

Central location for regional exploration: Many cabins serve as convenient baseposts for exploring multiple attractions. "We stayed just one night while driving from Page, Arizona to Albuquerque. We were able to get pizza delivered to our RV site which was a big hit with the kids," explains a family who stayed at USA RV Park.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: The natural environment around cabin rentals supports diverse wildlife. "Wild horses roaming around the lake were also pretty cool. We took a designated campsite overlooking the lake and added this park to the list of places to return to," shares a Bluewater Lake visitor.

Year-round accessibility: Most cabin facilities maintain availability through all seasons. "It is after Labor Day, the Canyonside Campground is deserted except for myself. I can hear the breeze moving through the pinions. Beautiful New Mexico sunset," notes a September visitor to Bluewater Lake State Park.

What you should know

Reservation timing matters: Book well in advance, especially for cabins with utilities. "I booked this park months out - needed a place to stay on our way home from AZ. The staff member at the entry was very efficient, friendly, and informative. Our site was toward the back of the property - so we didn't hear any road noise," advises a USA RV Park guest.

Bathroom facilities vary: Some cabins share communal bathroom facilities. "Very clean and warm showers. Vault toilets are very clean as well. A lot of very scenic campsites. Some well shaded with juniper and pinion trees," reports a Bluewater Lake camper.

Seasonal amenities: Amenities like pools or certain facilities may only operate seasonally. "Full hookups with military and good sam discounts. We've stayed here before and we will again. A dog park, showers, rest rooms and laundry available," mentions a USA RV Park visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Look for cabins with nearby activities: Families appreciate facilities with on-site recreation. "Great state run campground with options from primitive to full hook ups at great prices. Playground for the kiddos, lots of areas to explore with the puppers, and plenty of bathrooms and Ramadas available for day use," explains a visitor to Bluewater Lake State Park Campground.

Consider noise factors: Some cabin locations experience more noise than others. "We left the Grand Canyon in the morning and stopped in Gallup to sleep before heading to Petroglyph NM the next morning. Our site was toward the back of the property - so we didn't hear any road noise," notes a family who appreciated their quieter location.

Check cabin amenities before booking: Amenity levels differ significantly between properties. "We stayed away from lake because of our dogs. They tend to bark if people go by. The space was nice but the sites were too close for us. I preferred more space for privacy but we're new to RVing, so perhaps this is normal," shares a Bluewater Lake guest.

Tips from RVers

Check site spacing: RV sites with cabins vary in proximity to neighbors. "The sites are VERY close together and many of the picnic tables seem to need new boards for seats," advises a USA RV Park visitor.

Connectivity considerations: Internet and cell service can be unreliable. "The cell signal seemed strong from the indicators on our devices but I guess due to the number of users in the area, we had slow service. We tried the park's WiFi but it was too slow to do much," notes an RVer who stayed at USA RV Park.
