Best RV Parks & Resorts near San Mateo, NM

This RV Park is well advertised along the highway saying $20 for full hookups. Those sites were all full - mostly with long term tenants, but they had a group of sites with electric and water, no sewer... same price. We took it for two nights, then decided to stay a third night because our next reservation wasn’t for a few days. This RV Park is sandwiched between too roads, so there was quite a bit of low-speed traffic noise. The park could use a little cleaning up and mowing, but it wasn’t terrible. Some of the electric and water sites are basically on the park road, but there are some a little better. They do have a small laundry area, but we didn’t use it. We didn’t use their shower facilities either. They do provide free cable which was a big draw for my husband - Monday Night Football!

Rv park has nice level sites with full hook ups. We've stayed here a few times for just one night. Ate at the casino once. I had the buffet and would give it 2 stars. My wife ordered a meal and it was considerably better. Great place for a stop on I40.

We spent one night here in early April, 2020. We live in Albuquerque, and it was the middle of the early Coronavirus lockdown, but were looking to just get away from the house and still be away from people. With all the state and national parks closed, we had to go commercial. Rt. 66 RV Resort is just loaded with amenities (none of which we used, thanks to social distancing). It was not crowded at this time, so we requested and received a lot well away from anyone else. Full hook-ups, all in great shape. The park is less than 2 years old, I think, and it shows. Everything is pretty much immaculate. Service was VERY friendly and the guy led us right to the lot in his golf cart. Nice and flat. Picnic table. Fire pit. We had lovely weather so sitting out as the sun set was a nice treat.

In the morning, we walked around the whole place, and they really do have excellent amenities, all still in great shape. The pool area (not open) looks very inviting and attractive. The club house, while simple, looked very inviting. A couple of bathhouses around and a couple of dog parks. A big outdoor pavilion with a batch of grills and sinks and loads of tables in case you want to have a big party. The casino, restaurants and hotel were all closed, of course...but if you were looking for a place to stop and eat at a decent restaurant and do a little gambling...this RV park puts you just a couple hundred yards from the casino doors. Would be fun!

(Since that time, the casino has reopened.)

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.

We stopped here for an overnight stay. It is a well maintained, gated RV park. The level concrete pads were great and site had full hookups, Picnic table and fire pit. The only reason for giving 4 stars was that the cellular and wifi was intermittent but I think if you get a spot closer to the clubhouse you should be good. Beautiful mountain scenery, park had putt putt, gym, pool and other amenities but not all open yet. Staff was very nice. Would stay here again.

Stayed in a full hook up, pull through site and everything went smoothly. It has a couple of dog runs, but they are too small for play. Not much dog walking space without cacti. I was most excited about the brewery on-site, but sadly I was too tired once we got there. Would stay again for a chance to drink the beer.

Clean, paved drives and concrete pull through diagonal sites with full hook ups. Gated control entrance. Good Wi-Fi. Adjacent to a casino but far enough to not feel the energy or be bothered by the lights. We had luxury pull through #1126 just for one night, but a nice enough park to spend more time. It’s a about 20 minutes to drive to Albuquerque on I40.

Really enjoyed the RV Park itself but felt like a second class citizen since the Casino wasn’t open to non New Mexico residents.

Lavaland is a nice rv park, but focused on the older community. registration was easy and online. Check in was simple.

There is no kid amenities at this property. There is a small dog run. No grass.

The property is still under construction in some spots. Newly cement pads and updated electrical (which wasn’t available yet). New asphalt road around campground; still loose and bumpy for trailer driving.

Restrooms were clean, but there was little toilet paper available, and no soap and paper towels. Showers were newly renovated. Fresh paint in bathrooms.

Brewery onsite. Cute . No food available. But you can order from dominos to be delivered. Outdoor patio and Jenga.

A well laid out RV park! Your GPS will take you to the front of the 66 Casino. You will keep driving west on service rood past Casino parking lot. On west end turn left and go straight back to gated entrance to RV park. The park has a pool, club hose group BBQ area, several bathrooms, showers, laundry rooms, several fence in dog parks, most sites are pull through concrete level slabs sites with tables and fire pits at all sites. You get a card key to open gate for after hours and club house. High water pressure so pressure regulator highly recommended and sold in check in office. There is a $25 security fee that is returned to your credit card after checking out.

Very clean and nice RV park. Gated with staff on site 24hrs. Late arrivals not a problem and a very friendly staff. Easy on and off of I-40.

Avertize it with $ 22 and Good Sam discount. But they charging you $ 24.89 Not a quiet place. Small place.

As we where driving to our next destination I stopped to check out this National Monument. Plenty of parking and even easy access with my 34ft 5th wheel. There are two trails to hike, I was a little short on time and just did the shorter one in about 30 minutes. This hike takes you along the base of the cliffs and to a natural pool of water. Trails are well maintained. I also saw they had an RV park there at the Monument but was limited to trailer under 27ft. Worth the stop and was dog friendly as I took my dog on the hike.

Inexpensive and nice sites with full hookup. Just here for 1 night. Freeway is close with road noise.

Very helpful staff. Its about $27/night or $280/month, full hookup. Two clean showers with running hot water.

Spent a overnight at campground in March. Water was working! Great service. Full hookup’s. Gas & restaurant near campground. $22. Per night.

This resort is all it says. Fantastic level sites with awesome new hook ups. The facilities are beautiful. Best WiFi and bathrooms/showers we have had at any of our many campgrounds. Garbage pick up curbside daily. Negatives are high price with many of the beautiful amenities being closed due to COVID restrictions. This is ridiculous given that all the states we have been through from the east coast are completely open. This is especially true when they charge so much.

The Campground (CG) is right off I-40 but our Garmin RV GPS wanted to take us up about 15 miles farther West and turn back. This could have been because of the new roadwork and two traffic circles to get to the travel center, casino, and RV park. Waze had us getting off the right exit, going through the traffic circles and then we followed the signage to the CG area. Check in was quick and easy and we were escorted to pull through site 1225 with FHUs. The CG was not very crowded during our Thur to Fri stay probably due to the casino only being open to NM residents (as of 5 Jun 21). We were told that the water pressure was about 90 psi and it was, so use a reducer. The sites throughout this campground are nicely spaced, well groomed and level. When we come here again for a longer stay we will try to get sites 1210 or 1212, which are easy back-ins and the most spacious. We thought the free WiFi should have worked better with the reduced amount of campers. We got 4 bars Verizon and a variety of OTA channels. Easy shots to the Southern sky from all sites for satellite. There was a nice sized fenced dog area just down from our site and a larger one near the front by the recreation center plus the CG is large enough to give your pup a good walk. You can hear the interstate in the distance when outside, but the noise wasn’t bad. The CG was very clean and there are a lot of amenities. We highly recommend this park for an easy overnighter or a place to spend a few days exploring Albuquerque.

It’s not scenic by any means but, it is close to Mal Pais National Monument (across the street) and the people that work here are super nice. Great price for a full hookup with clean bathrooms and showers.

Visited the coal mine campground after driving a 500 mile day, so it was a set-up eat and crash situation. I did make a reservation on line, but that cost more than the $5 per site fee and was not necessary even though it was memorial day weekend. The fee is great because it is primitive, no electricity, no water at all, not just hookups, but the bathrooms were nice and clean with no sinks.

If you are prepared for a primitive camp with your own water and batteries for your electronics it is great. They have fire rings, grills, picnic tables and level places for tents.There are also nice back-in sites for boondocking RVs and the road up to the campground is fine for big rigs.

I ran into two mountain biker's here from Ireland that were riding the Continental Divide trail from The Mexican border in New Mexico to the Canadian border in Montana. They were staying here since the Trail goes through here. Paddy & Conner were very interesting people and I was fortunate to have run into them here.

I enjoyed my stay with a peaceful quite nights sleep and a short hike in the morning before breakfast cooked on the campfire. I would recommend this over a hotel stay if your passing through Grant's New Mexico on I40. You can probably get a site for the night anytime your passing through.
