San Jon Village Park Route 66

Easy to get to. Has a toilet. No power. Tent camping is WINDY! Post up between trees.

Clean bathroom. Spots with basic picnic table and roof. There is a nice playground for kids. Plenty of space to walk animals off leash - three dogs came to play with my dog. This is technically a ghost town so it has that deserted eerie vibe. At night it was super windy. I’m glad I didn’t pitch my tent.

Stayed overnight in our 43' motorhome. Just off I-40, and easy to navigate. Plenty of places to pull off the park road and park near a picnic booth. Level sites --we only had to put our slides out and then good to go for the evening. Also, should add that there's enough room to pull off, put slides out, & be out of the roadway. Little bit of road noise but...meh. Very worth it for a free stay!

We stayed here one night on our way through NM. Was easy to get to and had plenty of space. It is a city park and has a new playground, picnic benches. It has a sign that says overnight stays are welcome.

Nice overnight stop. However, be careful with your dog. Ours got goat head stickers in her paw and it was a lot of trouble to remove them. We also had to toss our throw rugs as they had too many to deal with.

Very clean bathroom, well maintained grounds and low amount of bugs (mostly flies). Supplies a bathroom, awning and picnic tables. Enough places to park for cars trailers and RVs. Classic route 66 free parking area. Thanks, city of San Jon!

Wonderful small park with some free camp sites. Baseball field, tennis court, basketball court, playground and a very clean restroom.

Free and public bathroom easy pull in for a rest right off I40.

Free overnight parking in a quiet and clean area near the I40 Exit. It has a small but updated playground and restrooms. There is a nearby Gas Station, too. It is a great stopping point for an overnight stay while traveling. We’ve stayed here twice now and have had no issues.

Thank you to the community for providing such a clean and well maintained space for free overnight parking. My children loved the playground, and I loved the free little library! We felt safe and area was well lit.

We needed a place to spend the night, and this was easy, safe, clean, and free.

Cute little park with portapotty and trash. Sign in front of park says free overnight parking. Allsups gas station next door. Plenty of parking.

We arrived in the daylight when several children were outside playing at the neighboring park. Several other RVs were here or pulling in also. Some highway noise but not bad. The park is clean and there is an Allsups at the corner for necessities. We were very comfortable here. Grateful for the resource!

Stayed here twice during recent cross country trip (out and back). Noise wasn’t problematic, toilets were maintained and it is FREE and legit. Thanks San Jon!!!

We drove 6 hours and wanted to keep going but honestly I am so grateful we pulled off to this spot. It is off the 40, but it’s actually really peaceful and there are trees, a big grassy field, and a park. Also it has clean restrooms, no showers and a place to throw out trash. I have a cat too so I parked by the baseball field and had the whole field to ourselves, which my cat really enjoyed wondering around the old abandoned homes lol Anyway, great spot for a quickie, feels like your still in nature. And it is definitely animal friendly.

It’s always cool to see a town give overnight parking in their town parks. However the road directly in front is full of noisy all night truckers. There must be a mining pit nearby because they kept us up all night.

basic pull-in spots. restrooms were locked and there was one well used porta-potty. grabbed one of the last spots at 10:30pm on a Thursday night. Fine for a quick overnight, and glad to be out by 6:30am.

Easy access and free. Nice spot next to the school. Restrooms and trash bins.

I pulled in on a weekday, and there were two spots available. It was quiet, peaceful, and clean campground. Did I say free? The resteoom was clean, and each site had a pad, awning, table, fire ring, and bbq

Free place to stay off of I40 on our road trip. Has a restroom with actual toilets and running water- I was shocked. They were also pristinely clean. Sites each have a picnic table.

Thank you San Jon for this free canmpground and a nice place to rest on I40. There is a gas station and old Route 66 city campground. 5G Verizon!

Awesome and free overnight parking with picnic tables and clean bathrooms! Coming in and finding a spot may be a bit confusing but just know the majority of the spots you can park at are next to picnic tables and that should be an easy enough guide. Bring a flashlight or lantern with you to the toilet at night.

Good place to stay if you are off grid setup clean restroom but no hookups and in my case I did not need them it’s free what more can you ask for :)

Clean flush toilets, free overnight, playground, safe environment. Close to I-40 without too much road noise.

There is restrooms, but no lights inside, so take a flashlight at night. It is a tiny park so get there early as you can before it fills up. No hook-ups but good for a over-nighter since it's free. Don't wear sandals because there is thorny stickers galore.

I pulled up to a park looking for a campground only to realize that the park IS the campground. There are a few campers parked around here but im the only one who set up a tent. I feel a little exposed setting up and sleeping in a tent in a park right behind the gas station and across the street from some residential trailers but it’s the last camp spot in New Mexico before you hit Texas if you’re going east on I-40. The bathrooms are really clean. There’s streetlights that flood the park with a soft light and there are picnic tables. Not the best, but it works! It’s pretty windy. Best thing about it is it’s free.

Free overnight parking along I40 in NM. Well lit, feels safe. About 8-15 spots. Flush toilets and sink water, clean. Right next to a gas station and less 1/4 mile of the interstate.

Easy place to pull off of the I-40 for the night. Free and even has clean bathrooms. You can hear the trucks sometimes but other than that it's pretty quiet. Plenty of space to spread out. There's a gas station/market no more than a 5 minute walk from the camp site too. Super easy place to camp while traveling
