Split Rail RV Park & Resort 55+
Ancient poorly maintained park
Park opened 1978. Original plumbing that has broken 6 times or more this season. Electrical system the same. Very few 50 amp plugins. Owner refuses to upgrade to standard 50/30/120 boxes. Outages and glitches often. Pipes very corroded. Few lawns are watered, most dead. Many vacant, poorly maintained units. Many owners aging out and units pulled. Photos posted on their site are from many years ago. Makes it look like park is vibrant and thriving when in reality, it's dying.
Restrooms have NO A/C! It's 100° in Rio Grand Valley from March through Sep/Oct. Owner refuses to spend the money to install A/C. Hot tub pump was out over a month. Several thefts and attempted thefts. No secure gate or security. Thieves drive right in or walkin and help themselves. Few working cameras.
It's cheap, but cheap in many ways. Beware!

Friendly and Quaint
This is a retiree/snowbird community with a mix of "permanent" campers and passersthrough. The people and staff are very friendly. There is a bird watching trail attached. Local Mexican food is amazing.

Very nice campground with full hook ups
Excellent weather here $360 a month including electric and that’s a full hook up with sewer house great amenities even the hot tub was up and going. Only downside is a half hour drive to buy anything. like food.🤪 very good people in the office here already considering coming back next winter also they have a good laundry facility February 7 they brought in 30 some construction workers. This entire place has gone to hell. They cranked their trucks up at 5 AM but don’t leave till quarter till six constant noise until they leave and then they come back about 630 or seven continuously making noise till 1130 or midnight. They drive through the park like they don’t know where the road is I can’t wait to leave and I doubt now I will ever come back. This part claimed to be 50+, but there’s full of 20 year-old punks not to mention the wild boys on there damn Harley’s day and night vroom vroom

Great Park
I don't understand why people put 3 stars for this park. I thought it was great. The camping spots were super clean. All the pads are pull through. They can accommodate different size campers. The pads are well maintained and new. Each spot has a covered pavilion. I was able to pick up TV signal here. The bathrooms were clean and maintained. I had 4G network with T-Mobile. The service is iffy kind of in and out. Spots #222 and #223 are directly across from the Wi-Fi extender. And you'll have 5 bars. The other spots near the restrooms. The Wi-Fi is okay, but not great. The 2 spots that I took pictures of with their numbers are the best spots if you want Wi-Fi.

It's great i love doing it every year.
I had an amazing time at this campground! The location is absolutely stunning, nestled in nature with breathtaking views. The facilities were top-notch clean bathrooms, well-maintained trails, and plenty of activities for all ages. Whether you're hiking, fishing, or just relaxing by the fire, there's something for everyone. The staff were friendly and always ready to help with any questions. It’s the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway or a fun weekend with family and friends. Highly recommend this campground for anyone looking to escape into nature! Me and poki give you 5 stars. Thanks.

Free camping
Amazing that there is free camping, with no stay limit, anywhere, but there is! Very clean, hot showers, laundry, water hookups, dump station, community pavilion, and more. I've been here two weeks and think I may stay until spring.

Boy what a fine this was
This place was amazing cell phone service for the five bars for T-Mobile. Water hookup at almost half the sights. Camper maintained bathrooms and office which contain a washer bunch of small kitchen appliances. A sheltered gazebo with electric and many appliances to share. Camper maintained library and donation center. Most sites are quite level. Everyone I met was amazing. Almost every day there's a breeze which really conquers some of the heat. Completely free and no stay limit.
