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.

Used Primitive #9 site along the creek. So peaceful and beautiful, trees shielded high winds and the few quick drizzles. Fishing was well above expectations, catching 14 large trout over the 2 night stay between the two of us. Highly recommend. We experienced no mosquitoes and the stay could not have been better!! 1989 Jamboree C-class.
TravelerThe 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.

We stopped for a night on our way from Great Sand Dunes National Park to Palo Duro Canyon, needing to dump our tanks and do some laundry after boondocking for a number of days. Raton KOA was just what we needed. The staff members were friendly, bathrooms were clean, and the laundry facilities did the job. The close proximity to grocery stores was an added bonus!
TravelerThe campground was clean, older but well maintained. It is very much residential though. The neighborhood is very loud. Dogs have been barking for hours. This is out of KOA control but rather annoying.
TravelerGood small KOA. People are friendly. Gravel tent sites

We were happy with the primitive campsites available. Plenty of wildlife to see around the area and a very quiet place to set up camp.
GuideThis KOA felt a little aged, but it was clean, quiet, and felt safe. We did arrive after a rain storm and our site was mostly a large mud puddle. The parking slots could use a new layer of gravel. There's a smaller playground which are son enjoyed. Across one road was a large field that gave us a view of a balloon festival
GuideBeautiful small lake. I saw people catch trout. There is a good restaurant. Very cool at night. My sight had 20 amp only but I didn’t need to run AC. Actually used heater in the morning to break the chill. Saw lots of wildlife on my bike ride. No mountain bike trails but I found some pretty scenic riding.
TravelerJust a 1 night stay but will return. It has just about everything you need to enjoy a longer stay. Great sites and many are pull through.
GuideThis is an amazing RV Park! The spaces are huge! We are on an end and I think ours is about a quarter acre in size! Really!There are lots of trees around and natural grass growing. There aren’t any shooting competitions going on at the time, so we don’t hear much shooting. There are only about 8 RVs in this 49 space RV area, but I imagine when they have an event going on, the RV Park is much fuller and you would probably hear more gun fire. The views are beautiful!
There is a free museum and a small laundry - 2 washers, 2 dryers.
We are strong believers in our Second Amendment and appreciate the NRA providing this center to teach people the proper handling and use of guns.
LegendThe Raton KOA is conveniently located off I-25 in Raton, NM. The campground offers of a mixture of back-in and pull through sites that are a mix of mostly live gravel and dirt. Most sites have 20/30 amp service, water, and septic hookups, although less expensive sites with fewer amenities are also available.
The campground offers a fenced in dog park where the pups can run off leash. There is also a nice grassy walking path around the perimeter of the property with trash cans and dog waste stations positioned every 100 yards.
The campground owner, Grant, is great to work with. He helped us get setup with the park WiFi and was super responsive to any questions we had. Don’t forget to ask him for the WiFi access code when you check in!
ScoutI read about this camp ground and its owners. I was so taken that I changed my plans and rout from Florida to Alaska just to stay here. I was not disappointed I stayed coming and going to and from Alaska. If I get to travel again I will go out of my way to stay here.
GuideClean, friendly, and with all services for $35 a night. We stayed here on route between Texas and Colorado - close to the volcano national park so popped in there too. This is a crushed rock lot with pull through sites - nothing scenic here.
GuideA large campground at the foot of the southern San Isabel mountain range. When you first drive in there are secluded tent spots, then small cabins. There are many spots all around the lake, with large tenter sites on the opposite bank of the lake. We set up amongst the trees in a relatively open spot but there weren’t many campers there so it was no problem. Had a view of the lake and a vault toilet nearby (it was pretty disgusting). Clean showers/toilets on other side of lake. No picnic table on site, but it did have a box grill and a fire pit — burn ban was in effect though. A little stream nearby. Camp store, restaurant, boat rental on site. In all we were thankful for a spot in the summer with no reservations.
GuideThis little hidden gem is a great way to spend your day. Although the site closes at dusk, there is plenty of time in the day to squeeze the juice out of this little alpine oasis. Fishing is allowed from shore, dock, boat or ice fishing during the winter months. Parking is easily accessible and free. This is a great place to picnic, cook out, drop a line in the water or hit a few laps around the lake on foot. Don’t pass through the front range without making a stop here. One word describes this place... Relaxing. An added bonus is that the Mt. Herman trailheads are a 5 minute drive away!
ScoutClosest camping to Capulin Volcano National Monument. Friendly folks. Tent area just a field across the street.
TravelerThis lake is in an absolutely beautiful part of the country. The campsites are all situated around the lake and each has a great lake view. Fishing is good as well. Close to a small convenience store and cafe so everything you need is near.
GuideGreat rv or tent sites. Amazing views and fishing
Small store and restaurant on site
Free fishing is usually first weekend in June and the local fire dept hosts a fishing tourney
Sites fill up quickly. Busy on weekends. We prefer Sun-Thur to miss the crowds.
Near Stonewall which has restaurant/small store. Nearby fly fishing at North Lake
Come with a full tank of gas!
