High desert terrain surrounds this KOA campground just off Interstate 40, where gravel sites accommodate RVs up to 75 feet with full hookups. The facility operates from February through December, providing a convenient stopping point for cross-country travelers navigating New Mexico's volcanic landscape.
Campers find level gravel sites with minimal shade and little privacy between spots. The campground includes both pull-through and back-in options, with sites near the playground experiencing more noise during active periods. Lee D. notes "there is little privacy/separation between the sites," while staff assigns sites upon check-in. A walking trail winds through adjacent lava fields, marked with interpretive signs explaining the geological history.
Staff provides dinner delivery service directly to sites, featuring options like brisket and ribs with advance ordering. Free continental breakfast includes pancakes, cereal, and coffee each morning. The facility maintains private bathroom and shower combinations that require access codes, plus coin-operated laundry and a small store stocking essentials and local pottery. Renee H. confirms "bathrooms were private and clean."
Road noise from the interstate reaches some sites, though several reviewers report minimal disturbance during overnight stays. The high desert location brings significant temperature drops after sunset, even during warm days. Reservations are available through standard booking systems, with rates varying by site type and season.
For RV travelers seeking different amenities, Blue Spruce RV Park provides another option less than a mile north.
