"An extremely well maintained campsite situated on a bluff with distant views over the desert and only a short hike to the visitor center."
"The sites are pretty close to each other and there only 1 bathroom that gets very used. It’s kept clean but smells awful. Drinking water is available as well as grills and fire rings at every site."
$30 - $94 / night

"Needed an overnight stay along Interstate 40 in New Mexico. "
"We were so grateful to stumble upon USA RV Park on our recent trip through New Mexico. "

"Quick drive to this surprisingly secluded place to spend the night on our way through."
"We walked to the top of the adjacent hill for sunset which was very nice."
"BLM dirt road near the entrance you can walk / hike down. Brochures of El Malpais at the entrance to the campground. Got there at 4 pm and only half the sites taken."

"I hadn't spent much time in this part of New Mexico, and assumed that the trip was going to be hot and sun-bleached, similar to the desert exposed in nearby Gallup, NM."
"Located about 15min from I-40 is this campground. It offers everything you would expect including tables, fire pits, restrooms, and trash. For only $5 a day you can't beat it."
RangerNo reservations accepted, but no one there so we had our pick (showed up on a Tues. in late May). Mens/womens restrooms look new, 2 of each, side by side. Sporadic 4g Verizon network (was VERY slow when it was up), sometimes no service. But, we were surprisingly able to watch end of game 4 Knicks/Pacers playoff, once it finally loaded! Short walking trail that is not marked well; took a side trip where it forked at the beginning and not sure where it went so, turned around. Right next to Hwy, but there was minimal traffic so no noise. Sheriff drove through once in evening. Some trees, some spots have some shade, elevation ~7000' or so (estimate). Some spots had nice space for multiple tents/sun shades. Most spots are level; those that weren't, were level enough, really not bad. Seemed safe enough. No water available, no hook-ups, no dump station.
TravelerI booked this park months out- needed a place to stay on our way home from AZ. We left the Grand Canyon in the morning and stopped in Gallup to sleep before heading to Petroglyph NM the next morning. 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. The park was probably around 3/4 full on the Monday night we stayed- but it was pretty quiet. There was a pet area with a cinder block “fence” and several people walked dogs around in the park. I wanted to take a peek at the pool- so I picked up my 6 lb dog to walk into that area to see it and a lady quickly intercepted me and said dogs couldn’t be in that area. The pool looked decent from what I could see. 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. Our site was mostly level so we used our small curved levelers on one side. The sites are VERY close together and many of the picnic tables seem to need new boards for seats.
TravelerFull 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
TravelerWe are full time RVers. I am on a contract for nursing and staying here for a few months. People who run the place are nice. Cheap laundry, nice pool, bbq place on site!
GuideFriendly staff, well stocked store, clean sites. Perfect for an overnight stay along the route. Big dog park for the puppers to do their business. No frills, but we didn’t need any.
TravelerThey had all of the amenities I wanted, showers clean bathrooms, lots of pull through sites, and a pool. Just a mile off of I-40. I thought it was very well priced.
GuideEasy to find, follow Dyrt directions. Large Ponderosa Pines with White Cedar and Oak scrub. Spots aren't marked so be observant .
RangerReally well done park and facilities, maybe even the best camp store I have ever visited. Gallup is a super interesting place and could have easily spent way more time than we did
GuideLots of options for sites on both sides of 162 before it starts going uphill. Several sites off the smaller two track roads can support good size trailers with lots of flat open space. A few sites in the trees right on the road could only support vans or tents. Pics of all the major sites included
The main road 162 was in great condition until it starts going uphill, then it was rutted out. Only a couple spots beyond this point. Road is closed from Dec 15 through March 31.
TMobile access was mixed. Sometimes limited LTE, sometimes 5G.
The paved road is loud in the morning and evening with ranch\quarry traffic, but it is very quiet at night.
It is above 7k, so it does get colder at night than the local forecast for Gallup.
