It is in town so you know what that means, trains, planes, trucks and automobiles. It is loud.

The sites are. Lean but very close together. I mean real close. It is good for a night or two but it is not a destination.

Still I would stay again if passing through.

One thing that maybe helpful for some. There is an RV repair shop on site and a RV store. If passing through Nd you needed some service, I would definitely check this place out.

We did a one night stand here in January. Very nice campground. Fairly quiet but remember it is in the urban area and not some rural space. But it is close to everything.

Check in was easy and the host helpful. The sites are clean and spacious with a very nice shelter and table.

The sites have power and water and they do have a dump station. We would stay here again.

Did I mention there is a brewery you can walk to?

We loved it. No hookups, no generators. Just quiet. Zero cell service so don't even think about it. We camped there in the new year. Did a bunch of hiking and bird watching.

Not big rig friendly. Smaller trailers, tents and van life.

We started the new year with 5 nights in the park. The sites are good sized and there are sites for larger rigs.

As typical of the national parks, you have to reserve and you need to know how the system works to get a good spot. There are no hookups but a generator is allowed in some areas of the campground.

You certainly can't beat the price or location. Easy access from the highway and close to two national parks. Plenty of room for any sized rig and lots of them.

But wide open can also mean big wind. We got a wind storm that kept us up all night.

Cell service is great. Would stay again.

We stopped on the way home to Colorado. It's cheap, level and has 30 amp power and water. Cell coverage is a solid 4bar 4g LTE with Verizon.

For $10 bucks it works. We came through in November and the water was turned off. It has a bathroom but we didn't use it so I can't report on its condition. The park was clean.

A typical COE campground. Very clean and well kept. The site are good with plenty of space. Most any size rig will find a spot here.

The primary attraction to this camp is fishing. There is a boat ramp with access to Elk City Lake. Most of the campers when we were their were either hunters or fishermen.

The site so have power, 30 amp, and there is a dump station. There is also a hiking trail right from camp but we didn't have time to take it as this was just a one night stop for us.

Cell phone for Verizon was 3 bar 4g LTE with

Very easy access off I80 so it makes for a good stop for the night. The sites are large with 30 amp power and excellent cell service. This would be a 5 star atop except for one thing, it's right next to I80.

Unlike most highways, I80 doesn't quiet down after dark. The heavy trucks come out at night. For most city dwellers you don't notice the noise but I live in a very rural area and I'm not used to the constant thunder and tire whine of a freeway.

I have stopped here several times on our trips along I80. You can camp right on the river and watch the boats entering the lock.

This park can accept all size rigs but the largest are limited to just a few sites. There is a train on the other side of the river but it doesn't run at night.

We were there in November for just a night. At first I thought the sites were a bit rough and not very level. But while were there, they started to regrade the pads at the sites. The new gravel was leveled and packed flat. The sites are greatly improved.

Cell service was very good, Verizon, and very quiet. Most sites are 30 amp but the Lake view loop are 50 amp. There are a few sites that will handle large rigs but most are for medium sized rigs.

If you've camped before at a COE campground you expect a quality experience. This one is no exception. It has paved drives and paved sites with a concrete pad for the fire ring and picnic table along with a hook for your lantern. They are also full hookups.

The place is very clean as well as the restrooms. There are plenty of things to do right from the campground including a paved bike trail into Greenville. We spent two days in early November and just about had the park to ourselves.

Cell service was adequate but not great.

We really enjoyed our two days at the park this fall.  The sites a quite large and well spaced.  It felt more like being out in the woods by yourself as we couldn't see another camp site from our trailer.

If you are coming for the lake you maybe disappointed.  With the drought, the lake level is very low and the shore line off in the distance.  We came for the peace and quiet and that we found in abundance.  The park was clean and well maintained.  Cell service was 2 bars but speed was acceptable.  

Any sized rig will fit and we stayed in the Blanco loop with power and water.  We will stay again is we find ourselves in north central New Mexico.

We have come to enjoy COE campgrounds as they are usually well laid out and kept in very good condition,  The first loop is all that but the other two loops are not large rig friendly.  The Pedemal Loop is big rig friendly with the site mostly level and paved with electric and water.  Chama loop is for smaller trailers and many of the sites are not very level although we did get our short 5th wheel into one with some creative use of leveling blocks.  The Puerco loop is really only for very small trailers and tents. 

The location is fantastic.  The views from the campground are wonderful and there is much to do in the area.  The Ghost Ranch is just down the road with great hiking and of course the home and studio of Georgia O'Keefe is in Abiquiu.  We intend to go back when we have more time.  It also didn't hurt that Verizon had great service.

We spent two nights here in September on a short notice trip.  Fortunately they had room for us.  I did have a chance to talk with one of the owners, very nice and accommodating.  They just bought the park this past summer and were working really hard to improve the experience for the campers as they were full timers before landing in Taos.

We really liked the park.  Even though the sites a fairly close, there is vegetation between the sites that give you more privacy than you usually get in a RV park.  They can accommodate any sized rig.  We will definitely stay there again if in the area.

This campground is busy in summer, it was almost empty in early September. Most sites are best for small rigs, we did find a sort of level spot for our small 5th wheel.

We scored a site right on the lake and with a bit of wiggling we got it level. We had 2 bars of Verizon so internet was decent.

There is plenty of good hiking nearby.

I have come to really like COE campgrounds. Everyone I've visited has been clean, spacious and well maintained. This one is no exception. We stayed in mid week during May and just about had the place to ourselves.

There is plenty of room between sites with well maintained grounds. Most but not all have electricity. Some also have water.

There are sites for any size rig but the larger ones would be better on the site away from the lake. Most of the sites along the road by the lake are small and not very level. The upper ones are much larger and flat.

We had 5 full bars of Verizon with good speeds. This would a good one to hand out for a few days.

We camped here in mid May during the week.  We were one of only 5 campers in the entire campground.  It is dry camping so come prepared.  It is also wide open with trees only off in the far distance.  If it is windy, which it often is in eastern Colorado, come prepared.  During the summer the sun will be unrelenting.  I have no doubt on a hot summer weekend, the sound of generators will be very annoying.

But on the day we were there, the weather was fantastic, the wind mild and the temps cool for night time sleeping.  One side note, if you need a dump station there is one in the Hasty campground also in the park.  It has 4 lanes but it does not have water of any kind so you do not have the ability to wash your tanks.

I think these campgrounds are definitely under rated. This one is well maintained and clean. The sites are all paved and most are well spaced.

My only concern is the photos of the sites are a bit deceiving. I thought my site, #6, was dead level. While it was level side to side, it had about 6" of slope front to back. Not a problem for me but some campers may find it a bit much. At $20/night ($10 for seniors) with electricity it's a bargain.

There is access to the lake from the campground, there is no beach. We spent on night during the week in mid May and there were only 5 campers in the whole park. We had the place to ourselves. We will spend more time our next time through to explore.

We stopped here for a night and you should really spend a few days if you have the time. There is plenty to see and do. With miles of bike trails it is easy to see everything without having to drive.

With only a handful of sites but far enough off the beaten path it's not crowded. This would be a fun stop with kids as there are activities right in the park.

Just 2 miles south of I80 but a world apart. This is a great stop if traveling I80. It is a bargain at $20 for full hookups. They have tent sites also.

The park is clean and clearly under utilized as there were only 3 of us in a park with more than 40 sites.

It is very quiet, right in small town America. I saw two tractors driving through town and only a few more cars.

Best of all we had a full 5 bars of ripping Verizon service. What's not to like?
