Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Tucumcari, NM

We stayed here primarily because it was on our route to Northern New Mexico and Colorado. It was exactly as we expected and we enjoyed an overnight here in June. Fortunately we had electric power for AC and were comfortable. Enjoyed some short hikes right from our campsite. Very isolated location between Tucumcari and Las Vegas, New Mexico, but that was our intended route. Marginal highway, but almost no traffic.

We are spending one night at this campground, we got here a little later than desired, but the office was still open. After check in we were guided to our spot and they even helped us park. There are light poles all over, great for walking at night, not so much for driving a rig through, so the extra help was appreciated. There are horse stalls here, as well as a dog park.

This is a horse and human RV park.  There is a horse hotel, Laundry, and dog park on site.  Our site was level on a moderate size rock pad.  A fire ring or picnic table was not provided.  We did have FHU with 30 amp service.  The nearest grocery store was within 5 miles.  This park does offer WiFi which had great speeds!

We pulled in last night and the check in was fast and easy. This is a journey KOA, so it’s not much in the way of amenities. That being said, this is one of the better “Journey KOA’s” we’ve stayed at. It’s got a descent little park for the kids, bathrooms, showers, a laundry mat and a dog park for your dogs. The store is closed for covid but they have a dinner and breakfast menu that you can call in and they’ll deliver to your site.

If you are moving along RT 66/I-40, perfect place to hold up for the night. It is quiet and provides everything you need. If it is your first taste of camping in the West, if feels like what you would expect. Open scenery; beautiful night and morning skies. There might be a few full timers on the east end of the property, but they generally keep their areas well kept. There is a dog park if yours are friendly, mine are not. But there is an open grassy area at the front of the property. This campground worked well for us.

Love the views of Conchas lake! Clean and open space! Electric and water connections! No fires allowed during our trip. Fishing, hiking and boating! Pet friendly, our dog loved every minute of our trip! Great memories!

This is a great place to hang out on the weekend in Eastern New Mexico. The water is great and it's pretty clean lake. When the wind kicks up it can get pretty rough but overall nice. The grounds are well taken care of as well. I would recommend staying on the South side of the lake if you like it quiet, you can also find more "trees". Try to keep your elevation low because the wind always blows in New Mexico.

Campground is easy to access.  Was the perfect spot for an overnight stop before continuing on to our final destination.    Water pressure  (95 psi, so use caution) was excellent for filling tanks.   They have an small isolated fenced in area which is great for letting pets run and air.

The campground host was very friendly.  He waited 15 minutes past close to provide instruction.  (If checking in after hours, they will leave the information outside the office in a box).

Am saving this location for future stops.
