Clean campground. Tight spaces. Should have privacy fence from the place next door. Also have cabins to rent. Nice play area for children and a kitchen and a campfire area in the middle of campground. Some of the sites were close and a tight squeeze to back into. Deer walking thru the campground at dusk was a neat site.
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.
Campground is very scenic and the river is directly behind us so you can hear that babbling brook sound - I love that! Our site is a bit small for our camper (25 ft) but we made it work. No hookups and no water but we have solar. It’s been 80s in the day and 50s at night which is amazing. I have one bar with T-mobile cell phone so I can text and get a little internet - enough to stay connected with the world. Great campsite!!
They don't honor booked and PAID sites here. They just bumped me into the maintenance lot behind the convenience store with a nice view of a filthy dumpster. Cuz dude with no res "beat me too it?" WTF.
Way overpriced with no views, packed in right between the motel buildings.
They don't care if you can't even open your slides, charging $65/night
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.
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!
It was hot and I was probably a little cranky when we arrived here but state parks, in general, are charging more and more and for $38 (including the required $10 Colorado State Parks day use fee), I believe we did not get much value for our money at this campground. Access to the campground is down a long, bumpy washboard dirt road.
The South Shore Campground has ten non-electric sites within supposed walking distance of the lake, although we did not go to the lake. Sites 101-104 and 107-109 are wide gravel driveways and 105, 106, and 110 are pull-throughs. Although sites are decent in size, there is no physical separation between them.
There were only vault toilets (which were clean) and no showers (I had really been hoping for a shower!).
Each site has a bbq grill, fire pit, and covered picnic table. However, it was so windy when we were there and because of the direction the wind was blowing, the cover was useless, we had to use our van as a wind block to cook dinner, and eat inside the van.
One of the rules was only 3.4% alcohol allowed. Fishing appeared to be popular here and there is a path along the dam, but it is a far distance from the campground.
State parks used to be our go-to option, but we are finding we are using them less and less often as the prices continue to increase.
They have 10 tent spots. Great view of the water. Some sites have trees. All have picnic tables and fire pits. Has toilet and bear proof trash containers. Lots of sunflowers. A few different places to hike or enjoy a walk with sweetie. Dogs welcome on a leash.
The 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.
Spend the weekend here, it was really relaxing. Except for two campers who almost got into it over camping spot lol. Other than that it was nice and at night it was quiet. Theres also a Walmart about 6min.
I enjoyed Tolby campground. It is on the creek and the majority of sites have trees and space. There are some exposed sites in the middle. It is busier now than I expected probably because Ponderosa campground is closed and Maverick has been reduced to one loop.
Good small KOA. People are friendly. Gravel tent sites
Recently stayed at the Tolby site at cimarron state park and we had a great time. Mike, our camp host was awesome and had some great information about the area. Clear creek hiking trail is a short drive away and was a beautiful and totally doable 3 mile trail for our 3 young girls. The fishing in the area was very popular and it seemed like everyone was catching fish. We will definitely come back!
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.
We arrived at site #14 to find that there was no good place to set up a tent. It was full of rocks. Since you had to reserve your spot online there was no other option to move sites so we could put up a tent. The camp host was understanding and helped us find a place to set up our tent, but we couldn’t change our reservation. If you are using a tent do not use #14.
This 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
Just 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.
Full hook up. Great value. Friendly owner and staff! Even got a dusk field trip to see the wildlife. We will stop here again.
This 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.
We were so fortunate to find Stonewall Lodge and rv Resort. Full hook ups, if that’s what you would like. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful nature drives. We can’t say enough kind words about this lodge and campground.
This is a great campground with top notch amenities. We enjoyed the laid back time we spent here looking at Fishers Peak. Nice to be that close to the lake. One thing to keep in mind, from the campsites there isn’t great access to the lake, you’ll need to come in From the East entrance to the park for lake access.
Close to highway in a canyon. Can be noisy at times. Small river with trout. This is a state park with a camp host.
The 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!
My GPS said 8000 feet. Little shade, close to highway and river. All spots reserve only. Flush toilets, water, and tables.
I 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.
Stayed here a couple of days while acclimating to the change in climate. The campground was full and busy. We mostly did road trips checking the surrounding areas. No water at the sight, you need to fill your holding tank before you park. Electric only and dump site provided. I did not see anything spectacular about this campground...too cramped for my style.
Wonderful experience here. It is such a beautiful lake and the area was pretty quiet. No issues getting in or out of the camp.
