Black Mesa Casino, near Algodones, New Mexico, is a straightforward spot for RV travelers looking for a quick stopover. With electric hookups and a dump station, it’s a practical choice for those needing a place to recharge before hitting the road again.

The area is all gravel, and while it may not have the lush greenery some campers prefer, it offers big views and a quiet atmosphere. Visitors have mentioned that it’s easy to navigate, making it a breeze to pull in and set up. One camper noted, “We were pleased with how easy it is to maneuver,” which is a big plus when you’re on the move.

You get electricity. The casino isn't too bad; it has a restaurant. The travel center has gas and a convenience store. Good alternative if just needing a stopover with electricity and some mild gambling entertainment.

An Overnight Stop

Adequate for overnight.  Dump station, Fresh water and Electric.  Tried to eat but the main restuarant closed at 3:00pm.  Easy on and off the Freeway

Quiet and easy

We pulled in for an overnight and we’re pleased with how easy it is to maneuver. Also very quiet and big beautiful views. Cell service wasn’t too bad either. We will definitely stay again. The power didn’t work in our site but we didn’t need it. The gas station attendants are super helpful. Pick your site and then go in to pay $20 and have them unlock the power.

Can't beat the location or price.

This isn't an RV resort, but it is a great overnight stop on the way up to Colorado Springs. For $10, you can stay the night with electric hook ups and another $10 to dump and flush tanks. Far better than a rest area. The Casino is a fun distraction. The lot is all gravel and NO grass for pets, so watch for cactus. We have stayed many times and it's a good place to relax before the drive to COS/DEN. Nothing fancy, but reliable and good fuel prices too!

Be Warned

Spent 5 days at this RV park last fall. Parking area is all gravel. Got black ants in our 5th wheel. Did not discover them until we arrived at our next destination. Took several days to finally get rid of them. Will not return.

Inexpensive RV spots with electric

To be honest, this isn't my style of camping, but if you're in an RV and looking for a base from which to explore the greater Albuquerque and Santa Fe area, you could do worse. Just off I-25 and located on a corner of the San Felipe Pueblo, there's not much here but the casino, gas station, restaurant, and travel shop! For $20 you get 20, 30 or 50A electric hookups with water and a dump station available. Clean bathroom facilities, including spacious showers, are available in the travel shop/gas station. Check in at the casino and they'll send someone out to meet you and get you set up. 

There are great places to explore in the vicinity, including Kasha Katuwe, Bandelier, and Pecos National Monuments to name just a few.
