Black Mesa Casino

Travelers heading to or from Colorado often use Black Mesa Casino as a convenient overnight stop with RV hookups just off Interstate 25. The campground sits on a corner of the San Felipe Pueblo, featuring an all-gravel lot that accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with 20, 30, or 50-amp electrical connections and water hookups available.

The setup process involves selecting a site, then checking in at the casino where staff will meet you to unlock the power connection. Clean bathroom facilities and spacious showers are located in the adjacent travel center, which also houses a gas station and convenience store. Several campers mention the lack of grass throughout the area, so pet owners need to watch for cactus while walking dogs.

Hadea F. notes the site is "very quiet and big beautiful views," though some electrical connections may need troubleshooting. The casino offers dining and gaming options, though restaurant hours can be limited. A dump station provides tank services for an additional fee. For campers wanting more traditional camping experiences, Coronado Campground offers a different setting about 11 miles southwest.

A basic overnight RV stop with affordable rates and reliable electric hookups near I-25. Several guests observed all-gravel sites and occasional pest issues, but many found it convenient for exploring the Albuquerque-Santa Fe area.

You get electricity. The casino isn't too bad; it has a restaurant. The travel center has gas and a convenience store. Good alternative if just needing a stopover with electricity and some mild gambling entertainment.

An Overnight Stop

Adequate for overnight. Dump station, Fresh water and Electric. Tried to eat but the main restuarant closed at 3:00pm. Easy on and off the Freeway

Quiet and easy

We pulled in for an overnight and we’re pleased with how easy it is to maneuver. Also very quiet and big beautiful views. Cell service wasn’t too bad either. We will definitely stay again. The power didn’t work in our site but we didn’t need it. The gas station attendants are super helpful. Pick your site and then go in to pay $20 and have them unlock the power.

Can't beat the location or price.

This isn't an RV resort, but it is a great overnight stop on the way up to Colorado Springs. For $10, you can stay the night with electric hook ups and another $10 to dump and flush tanks. Far better than a rest area. The Casino is a fun distraction. The lot is all gravel and NO grass for pets, so watch for cactus. We have stayed many times and it's a good place to relax before the drive to COS/DEN. Nothing fancy, but reliable and good fuel prices too!

Be Warned

Spent 5 days at this RV park last fall. Parking area is all gravel. Got black ants in our 5th wheel. Did not discover them until we arrived at our next destination. Took several days to finally get rid of them. Will not return.

Inexpensive RV spots with electric

To be honest, this isn't my style of camping, but if you're in an RV and looking for a base from which to explore the greater Albuquerque and Santa Fe area, you could do worse. Just off I-25 and located on a corner of the San Felipe Pueblo, there's not much here but the casino, gas station, restaurant, and travel shop! For $20 you get 20, 30 or 50A electric hookups with water and a dump station available. Clean bathroom facilities, including spacious showers, are available in the travel shop/gas station. Check in at the casino and they'll send someone out to meet you and get you set up.

There are great places to explore in the vicinity, including Kasha Katuwe, Bandelier, and Pecos National Monuments to name just a few.
