Beautiful setting

We have stayed at this State Park years ago and love it. You do get lots of road noise as it’s right off I-70, but all the pluses make up for that! Level spaces with fire pits, post BBQ grill, picnic tables. The spaces that don’t have tall enough trees have covers over their picnic tables. There’s grass between spaces and they are nice large spaces. There’s a small lake for fishing and appears to be open for swimming in the summer. You have a choice of full hookups or electric only. There’s an RV dump on site. There’s restrooms scattered throughout. And I didn’t notice it advertised but there are a couple of washers and dryers. There are a couple of nice handicap spaces as well. It is more expensive than most state parks we have stayed at. $37 plus a $9/day vehicle fee for full hookup site.

A penny savers RV Park

My Mother always told me if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all! The spaces are nice and large and the employees were accommodating. 😂😂😂 30amp plug didn’t work upon arrival, we used 50amp, but the next day they were out to fix it. Other than that, most people here are staying full time, don’t pick up after their dogs, dogs run loose, weeds with lots of stickers everywhere, space had some spray foam insulation all over it we had to clean up. The spaces are paved and there are picnic tables. We used Passport America so it was only $14.50 for full hookup. Otherwise, we would have moved on.

First to Review
Beautiful surroundings !

Wow! Beautiful views! A river with cliffs on one side and mountain views on the other side. It is right on Hwy 50 which means easy access, but also lots of road noise. We stayed in three different spaces because we kept wanting to stay longer. They were all nice sized spaces, although some spaces appeared to be rather small. Some full hookups, some water and electric only and about three tent sites. We spotted big horn sheep on the cliff behind us! The park also had a live singer entertain one night!

Large sites!

This RV Park offers nice large sites! Our site us full hookups but it appears some are electric only. Lots of nice green grass and big trees. Sites are very level! We are along the back fence so less road noise, but also the spaces have no trees in the back and are basically dirt. They need lots of gravel! However, I give them a five for the large space size and nice hospitality!

Big shade trees!

This RV Park has very nice big shade trees and lots of grass. If you get a space towards the back of the Park the road noise mentioned by others isn’t an issue. The spaces are close together or I would rate this a five! We were in Space 45 on the end so were able to take advantage of the parks edge and watched some kids soccer games!

Nice large spaces

There are two RV areas; one is Beach area, the other is Mountain View area. We stayed in the Mountain View area. The spaces are large, level, and easy to get into. I think they all have electricity and water. They are paved, as are the roadways. There are picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Some tables have shade over them. They have planted trees that are starting to get large. There is a dump station that’s easy to access. There is nice grass planted at some sites; however, due to the drought, they have sadly let the grass die. This is very sad but with the water so low in the reservoirs it’s hard to justify watering the grass. You can reserve spaces but we were able to get a nice space as a walk-up. My husband used the restrooms and said they were fine. They also have showers.

Clean restrooms!

We were headed to Capitol Reef from the east side and came upon this little gem. It looked closed, but we called the number as directed and owner showed up on his 4-wheeler - nice people! We stayed two nights and loved it! The main reason was because we were the only ones there! Owner said this was their slow season,. 🤷‍♀️ The pull throughs have electricity and some spaces have big shade trees. There are also spaces with no hookups and some tent sites. The bathrooms and showers were spotless; however, the campground could use some cleaning up and general TLC; hopefully they get it done before their busy season arrives. Our Verizon Wireless did not work in this area!

Majority of spaces too close together

The person checking us in was very kind and helpful. We requested an end space because our young pup has a fear of vehicles. She gave us a space with a huge grassy area and nice shade tree! The bad points of this RV Park are: 1) The pool is closed and there’s no mention of that anywhere! 2) when walking around, I notice the majority of the spaces are so close together, your picnic table is right next to your neighbor’s sewer hookup. YUCK! I would come here again, but I would continue to be picky about my site!

Nice RV Park

We grow tired on boondocking and enjoy a nice RV Park sometimes. This RV Park is nicely designed to give you privacy from your neighbors with bushes and trees planted between sites. No grass at the sites, but lots of grass all around. The laundry is located beside the pool - you can swim while waiting for our laundry. However, there is no way to drive to the laundry door; it’s quite a walk carrying your clothes. There are picnic tables and small grills at each site. There’s a small dog park; and, of course the casino nearby for entertainment and dinner out. All sites are asphalt with concrete pads for the tables. The sites are level

Spacious campground

This campground provided lots of space between sites. There are no hookups, but there are pit toilets, running water, picnic tables, and fire pits. You can fit larger RVs in the spaces on the upper loops of the campground. Ours is 28’ and there was probably 10-15 feet of extra space. The camp host was great and did a good job of keeping everything clean. If you need to dump your tanks in Chama, the Little Creel will let you dump in an empty RV space for $10.

Larger RV Park

This is a larger RV Park. They provide full hookups, spaces for tent camping, and some small cottages. I have not used their restrooms, but the laundry is clean and reasonably priced. Many of the spaces are pretty close together, but we’ve had worse! They have nice picnic tables and fire pits. There is a creek that runs behind the park and the spaces along this creek cost more. We stayed in Space 20; which is supposed to have the creek behind it (so we paid more), but there’s a bunch of electrical boxes there so you can’t see it or access it and there’s also a huge manhole sticking up in our space! So don’t take Space 20 unless you are desperate! That is the reason for my 4 rating. The grass is sparse, but there are big grassy areas throughout the park. Some of the spaces have the shade of large trees. I would stay here again, but would avoid #20.

Very accommodating

We had to have a couple tires replaced on our RV and not only were they able to fix us up with new tires at their Chevron Station, but she was able to find a space in their RV Park for a couple of nights. It wasn’t a great space, but it was fine. There are some nice large trees, grass in some areas, but not for our space. Although our fellow RVers weren’t real close, we were close to the shower facilities and there were lots of small campers using those giving us very little privacy. We are traveling with a very timid dog making it more difficult for us. We did not use the restrooms so I cannot comment on those. About every space has a picnic table but no fire pits. Somewhere in this distance there was a dog that barked almost continuously during the day, but I don’t think it was in the RV Park. Their prices are very reasonable and I would stay here again.

Huge spaces!

This is an amazing RV Park! The spaces are huge! We are on an end and I think ours is about a quarter acre in size! Really!There are lots of trees around and natural grass growing. There aren’t any shooting competitions going on at the time, so we don’t hear much shooting. There are only about 8 RVs in this 49 space RV area, but I imagine when they have an event going on, the RV Park is much fuller and you would probably hear more gun fire. The views are beautiful!

There is a free museum and a small laundry - 2 washers, 2 dryers.

We are strong believers in our Second Amendment and appreciate the NRA providing this center to teach people the proper handling and use of guns.

Wonderful views, spacious sites!

We really like this RV Park! The spaces are wide and angled enough to allow for great views! There are no trees, so you will be using your AC and awning when it’s hot out. Sites were quite level and hookups are easy access. There are both full hookup sites and water and electric only sites; there is an RV dump. Laundry, restrooms and convenience store are still closed due to Covid - much of New Mexico is still this way. It is right off Highway 64 which has a minimal amount of road noise, but provides easy access.There’s a Pet Resort across the road where you hear dogs barking in the distance in the mornings. They do need to start working on weed control before the weeds get out of hand. Each of those negatives are so minimal, I still rate this as a five! Wide spaces and good views are always strong points in my reviews!

Caters to smaller camp trailers and tents

First, this campground is clean and well kept; Pavement throughout. However, if you are coming with a large RV, you may not find a suitable space. They advertise up to 40’, but there are only a few sites that can accommodate anything that large. We have a 25’ fifth-wheel and there were a lot of spaces too small, and some too difficult to get into due to our length. We did find a space and were quite comfortable, we enjoyed what the area had to offer, but since there are no hookups, we got too hot and moved on. Sites are quite level and include a table and grill. Bathrooms were clean with running water, flush toilets and an electrical outlet!

Large spaces

This is an RV Park with many RV Spaces, tent sites, and some cabins for rent. The RV sites are easy to get into, relatively level, and have tables and grill/fire pits. There is gravel on the spaces- although they could add more gravel. Nice dog park divided into two areas so your dogs don’t have to co-mingle. There is a clean, reasonably priced laundry room and a swimming pool. The spaces are nice and wide and many have large trees for nice shade, but some don’t and have full sun. There are multiple tent sites, with tables and grills as well; along with a site for large tenting groups.

Quiet

We are traveling with a young, very timid dog so asked for a large space. She gave us an end space with no shade and no grass; however, we have a nice view of the trees along the Animas River and are a short distance from the river. Lots of long term RVs, but their spaces are well maintained. Good gravel throughout the RV Park, nice level spaces. They take cash or check only. No tables, fire rings, restrooms/showers, but full hookups. Easy access, and we had no issues with road noise.

Handy and quiet

This park is just a short drive off I-40, but far enough the traffic and train noise are distant. All roadways and spaces are paved. The hook-ups are easy to access and spaces all appear relatively level. Although they have planted trees, it’s a lot of wide open space and sand. All spaces appear to have tables and fire rings. There’s a dump station as you leave the camping area. We travel out of the Phoenix Valley every year and this will be one of our regular stops!

Great place!

This is now one if my favorite RV Parks. We have stayed in so many RV Parks that make you feel like a can of soup on a grocery shelf, but not this one! The spaces are nice and big! I think all spaces are full hookups, but they price the space according to size, whether it has trees, and whether it is along the river. We took a cheap space with none of the above, but it was still great! We could see some mountains and enjoyed our view of the trees. The park seems well cared for. My husband used the laundry facility and said it was nice. We didn’t use any other amenities, but they have a pool, spa, miniature golf, and sometimes offer food socials in their recreation area. There was a rather large population of ants, but nothing annoying. We will be back on our travels up I-17!

Price is good!

This RV Park is well advertised along the highway saying $20 for full hookups. Those sites were all full - mostly with long term tenants, but they had a group of sites with electric and water, no sewer… same price. We took it for two nights, then decided to stay a third night because our next reservation wasn’t for a few days. This RV Park is sandwiched between too roads, so there was quite a bit of low-speed traffic noise. The park could use a little cleaning up and mowing, but it wasn’t terrible. Some of the electric and water sites are basically on the park road, but there are some a little better. They do have a small laundry area, but we didn’t use it. We didn’t use their shower facilities either. They do provide free cable which was a big draw for my husband - Monday Night Football!
