8. Little Dancing Horse Ranch
1 Review•7 Photos•1 SaveSanto Domingo Pueblo, New MexicoThe Ortiz Mountains and enchanting Cerrillos Hills surround us. Our stars shine brighter than most, and coyote songs will remind you that you're dwelling amongst the high desert wildlife. The 1 3/4 mile road to Little Dancing Horse Ranch is not for everyone. I will reiterate this a couple of times in this listing to make sure people understand that we live on a rocky, dirt road. Some folks find it not to be a big deal while others do. Most vehicles most of the time can make it fine if it's taken slowly although high clearance vehicles are ideal. During the rare big rain or snow, 4 wheel drive may be needed. It's advisable to check the weather in advance.

A small stream runs alongside the campground and sandstone cliffs on the nearby mesas provide excellent photographic and sightseeing opportunities. A small tract of private land is located north of the campground and common courtesy is appreciated.

Albuquerque KOA Journey
Land of enchantment
New Mexico is a land of wonders and beauty in every turn. From its famous green or red chili and the smell of roasted chiles in the streets to the beautiful sandia mountains that shimmer at sunset to the many parks and recreation areas to explore. New Mexico truly is like no other state and must be on your to bucket list!

KOA - close to highway
Ok KOA conveniently located. Bathtub is good. Wifi was not working. Comfortable option but overall pricey for what you get.

Get the Full H/U site for best location
Stayed twice - once with full h/u, once with W/E. The FHU was a far better location with concrete pad, much less highway noise, and much better bathrooms. Sites are decent distance apart, not on top of each other but can certainly see each other. Sites are all nice and flat. Not much tree cover. COVID ops means amenities are limited but nice dog park.

Nice KOA with Friendly Staff
We stayed at this KOA for two nights during a cross country trip as we passed through Albuquerque in October 2020. The only reason I give 4 out of 5 stars and not 5 out of 5 stars is the urban location is not much to look at. The campground itself is very well-maintained and the staff are extraordinarily friendly. It was incredibly convenient that there were a number of large RV dealerships in the immediate vicinity, so we were able to pick up some supplies that are not easily found at Walmart locations. We stayed in a large pull thru site that actually had a dedicated "pet suite" with astroturf for our dog. That's the first time we had seen that on a trip and we were pleased with the amenity having come from so many places that don't have grass anywhere.

Kind of a pain
On our full hook up site the dump sight was in a bad place. We would of had to un hook from our truck to fully hook up. We only stayed one night and didn’t use any of the facilities.

Well maintained campground with paved sites, family and pet friendly. A bit noisy because of I-40 very close. Centrally located, so not far to local attractions. 2nd stay and will choose again when returning.

Good Location well kept
Paved parking spots with gravel around. Transit sites are very convenient, restrooms dated but clean. Whole site was well kept. Very convenient on and off route 40 and convenient to downtown Albuquerque. Good WiFi
Heather H.GuideAlbuquerque KOA Journey
Nice park, but not worth the hassle
So, the park itself (inside the huge gates protecting you from the surrounding area) is nice. Decent for kids, spots are nice sizes, they do keep it clean.
The bad? Where do I begin. It's in an area where gunshots and people shooting up in broad daylight are the norm. Park employees and management are micro managers. Plus they outright lied to us about a monthly spot. And it's so beyond overpriced I can't even explain. The pet areas are an absolute JOKE. We felt so unsafe, and annoyed with employees, we left.

Great One Night Stop Over
Great and friendly staff. Very clean campground, bathrooms and showers. Next to I-40 so easy access in and out. Road noise wasn’t bad but we have thermal covers on windows and our rig is well insulated.

Overnight Stay
Gated facility but there is an attendant to let you in, get you registered and guide you to your site. Was also able to buy wood from them. There were not any fire rings or bbqs in the middle electric/water sites but was able to use our propane pit. Pads are asphalt and close to level. Batbrooms were clean and pool was refreshing after a long days drive. Staff is friendly and come by to pick up your trash so you don't have to haul it to the dumpster.
Reynold W.TravelerAlbuquerque KOA Journey
Friendly Clean and Noisy
Pretty typical Journey KOA. The camp has a pool, showers,play ground, flush toilets, showers and various camping sites to fit your needs. They seem to have 2 types of cabins here. Trees are pretty sparse, so shade is limited. It's also pretty clear that they are using quite a few sites for storing RVs / Trailers on site. Can't say that I've ever seen that at a KOA site before. It's right next to the interstate so there is definitely road noise. Plenty of semi trucks and pretend race cars zipping by. We are in an overlanding vehicle with a tent on the back but we're able to sleep. Granted we were pretty tired. All in all this is a pretty nice place and a good jumping off point for all things ABQ.

Better than expected!
We had a good time at this KOA. Enjoyed the pool (hot tub wasn’t working), bounce pad, mini golf, horseshoes. The store was useful too. Staff was friendly. Past reviews mentioned that this KOA was in a terrible neighborhood, but it didn’t seem so bad to us and we had no incidents. CG is gated and staffed 24/7. Showers and bathrooms were nice and clean (although some had a few puddles in them from campers who showered and didn’t fix the shower curtain correctly. Laundry was helpful (quarters needed). I’d stay again.

Great Campground
This is our second year staying here and it is still amazing. They have a hot tub, dog wash, games, swimming pool, and playground! The sites are a little small if you are in an RV, but all in all a great camping ground.

We only got to stay one night at this Campground but it was awesome. The staff were friendly and helpful and the store was well stocked. They have nice laundry facilities and lots of spots for the doggies to play. They had a playground hot tub and a bounce pad for the kids. It was safe and quiet we will definitely stay again.

Albuquerque KOA Journey
Decent park, but...
So, the park inside is ok. Pros: they do keep it clean, bath and laundry are nice, kids park and jump pillow are nice etc. Cons: the strees and area surrounding the park aren't just dirty, but dangerous. We heard gunshots, saw people shooting up with needles in broad daylight, homeless everywhere, urinating in parking lots etc. So don't plan on being on foot outside the park gates. Also, inside the park, their new upper management are micro managers. Don't do this, don't do that. And lied to us about no weekly or monthly spots available. People pulled in after us and paid those rates but we got stuck with $1700 for 3 weeks. A huge rip off. They triple the cost of propane, ice etc. We went through the hassle of moving to another park in the area just to be done with them. Good luck if u have dogs that need walked. Pet areas are a joke but you're not technically allowed to let your dog potty outside of those areas. Someone hollered that our male peed on a tree en route to the pet run. How do u stop a male dog from hiking? Finally, sites are super tight. And the sewer hookup for the site next to us was literally inches from OUR picnic table. All sites are that way. Your neighbors sewer hookup is right outside your front door. And if you've got a large rig with side or rear patios, don't even think you'll be using them.

Ok Spot For An Overnight Stay
The surrounding area wasn’t very nice and it was a bit loud. Decent pace for a one night stay though. Clean RV park and friendly staff.
Petroglyph National Monument, on the outskirts of Albuquerque, was a big hit with our kids (ages 3 and 5).

Unsanitary water connection
The water connection for the fresh water is about an inch away from the sewer dump and is at the same level. Sewer contamination is probably very high. Would not hook my water to this no matter what.

Nice Campground
We stayed here only overnight as part of our cross-country trip. Overall, nice for a quick stay but would not for an extended visit.
Pros: Everyone there was friendly and accomodating. They have personel maintaining the gate 24/7. Restrooms & showers were clean. They offer RV sites, cabin rentals (which we were told they were all booked but saw no one there- possibly closed due to pandemic though), and tent sites. We tent camp. The site had a fire ring, picnic table, a shaded area, and is covered in pea gravel. The shaded area is not waterproof or "fully" covered. But seems it would help with the heat to provide some shaded comfort. It rained the night we were there, and I was unable to get all of our tent spikes into the ground for our rainfall (think there may have been concrete a few inches below). If you are staying for an extended time, I recommend bringing a tarp that you can tie to the shaded area to help with heat / rain. Each tent site is separated by a privacy wall (see pic). The best part was the sunrise! Absolutely stunning as you are literally at the base of the mountains. You just have to ignore the giant Geico billboard on highway in your view.
Cons: EVERY review will tell you about the noise from highway, and it is no joke!! We were so tired we did not care. But it is BAD! If you are looking for peace and quiet - THIS IS NOT THE PLACE! You can see the highway wall in my pics. It appeared to be in what seemed as "not the best part of town". It is fully gated 24/7 which I appreciate, but makes you wonder where you are staying. However, we did not have any issues, and the few people we saw were all very polite. We arrived later in the evening and ran out to get a quick bite, but everything closes at 9p so be mindful.
Pandemic note: We stayed here 6/1/20-6/2/20. Everyone was wearing masks, VERY mindful of social distancing, and you could not even go in to the office - they come out to you.
I would recommend this only as a quick stop-over / last option campground.

Easy Access
We stayed at Albuquerque KOA for one night while on our way to AZ. We payed $112, which we thought was overpriced, even though we stayed during the Balloon Fiesta. The park was clean and well-maintained. It was in a safe location that was easily accessible from I 40. The sites were spacious and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Rebecca H.GuideAlbuquerque KOA Journey
Serviceable RV Park with clean bathrooms
The campground was pretty much a large parking lot, with rows of RVs. Our reservation said we would have a fire ring or grill but were told the one nearby was just for tent campers. There was a communal propane grill, and propane available for purchase, but the store was already closed when we realized the situation. A fire ban prevented us from using our own charcoal grill. On the plus side, my kids enjoyed a game of mini golf, the bathrooms were clean and staff friendly.
