This is a city park for mainly the balloon fiesta. It is flat, dry and they pack you in. We stayed in the so called VIP area and other than being close to the gate that's about it. Just a huge dirt and gravel parking lot. It served the purpose for the Balloon Fiesta and you should know it is basically a dry camp. They will fill you with water and offer a pumping service for a fee. Both about $20 each if you need it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The $10 rate is because we were part of a group where many extras were included so the site rate is unknown. We were dry camping & if you have the equipment to be self supporting for more than a few days the Balloon Fiesta should not be missed. Very well organised. The honey trucks were on constant patrol during the day. The water truck was never far away. The shuttles were adequate & accommodating in dropping off, especially at night when it is very easy to get disoriented in a huge temporary town sitting on wheels. Dumpsters were many & emptied regularly. A clock could be set to the 2:30AM trash truck in our area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I pretty much concur with the previous review which is well detailed. I would like to add a couple comments. Each RV is parked by someone in a golf cart. Not all of the staff know how far apart the motorhomes should be parked. We were in the dry camping area and they had us so close to our neighbor that our A/C sucked in his exhaust and kept setting off our carbon monoxide detector. He was diesel and we are gas so his generator vent was pointed at our door and was maybe 6' away! I would say you need to pay close attention to how close they try to park you and give them a little guidance on that. The area is all dirt with no gravel, shade or grass because it is a temp campground. It is very convenient to the balloon fiesta and we watched them land outside the front windshield of our RV. We were able to get a reservation 2 weeks in advance. I don't think we will stay there again because it was just a little too much "roughing" it for us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This RV parking area is only open for the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta during the first three weeks of October. They offer three different areas of camping = Dry, or 20-amp & W, or 30-amp & W close to balloon launch sight. We camped in the 20-amp & W area. Rally style parking = 500 RVs side by side in different sections of the park. The have portable toilets and no showers. The park offers a septic service ($) that will drive to your RV to empty your tanks. Sites were semi-level with gravel or dirt. We were within walking distance of the Balloon launch sight, they also have free shuttle buses to and from. Electric power is provided by 24 hour large generators, if you're next to one they are noisy. If you are arriving with a group, you all must enter at the same time to be parked together. The greatest thing this RV park offers is being close (walk to) the launch sight, otherwise the driving and parking to get there is terrible. Make your reservation very early (refundable) as this sells out 9 months in advance. WiFi is available at local coffee shops within 2 miles of RV park. The Balloon Event was fantastic, 350 balloon launch on weekends, fireworks, morning and night glow balloons. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Since we are from Albuquerque, we stayed here 7 months (the price was a monthly rate--our last 3 nights cost $130). The only reason we chose this campground is for the convenience (it is the only RV park actually "in town." The manager is very helpful and friendly, as are most of the work-campers. However, there was one couple who were very rude--I heard many, many complaints about them from guests and other help. For some reason, though, they are kept working there and rumor is they will return. When behind the counter this person's answer to any question is "NO" and not nicely either. When I said that I could go to another park I was told to go ahead because there were 15 other RVs waiting for my spot--the place was almost empty, so I'm not sure why they were waiting for MY spot. They have let the park get old and run down, but they keep it up just enough to be functional (corporate KOA). Right before we left they raised the price on dryers from $1 to $1.50 with no increase in time. At 1.50 for washer and 1.50 for dryer, this is not the most expensive we have seen, but it seems expensive for such old machines that are not the best. We will stay here again (again, because of the convenience). Also, do not leave loose stuff outside or it might disappear--we even had another camper take our outdoor rug during a windstorm (sure, it probably blew off our lot--but most campers turn things in rather than keeping them). We also had someone begging for money at 10 pm one night and while we were there motorcycles and bicycles were stolen from other sites. Again, if you can talk to the manager, he will work with you and provide great service. But you have to ask for decent service, it is not automatic (especially if that one couple is there--they would keep us from returning). We camped here in a Motorhome.

Conveniently located to local site-seeing, this place is overpriced at $37 -- then add $10 extra for full sewage hookup! At 5 pm, everything is closed & locked up, except the bathrooms/laundry and you will have to check yourself in. Wi-Fi doesn't work well. No cable TV. Right beside noisy freeway. OK for overnight. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We arrived at 7:35 in the evening after the office had closed and used their convenient self registration system. We were able to choose the site we stayed in the previous year so set up was fast and easy; including the satellite dish. Close to the city amenities for resupplying the trailer with much needed food, and a pleasant visit to Olde Town. We were hit with a cold front on Wednesday, half a day earlier than expected, and stayed an extra day instead of trying to fight the snow and wind on the I-40. The staff were very friendly, the showers hot and clean. We will definitely stay here again if and when we return to Albuquerque. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We selected this KOA to be close to family instead of the higher rated Bernalillo KOA. We were only able to get a water and electric site due to arriving during the New Mexico State Fair week but the site we were assigned was great. It was just a little too short but each site was paved with gravel beds between, with each site having its own table and grill. Nice shrubs and trees between sites. Service was great. Price was great. Power was good. The main laundry room at the main office had no tables for folding or rolling baskets for transferring clothes between washers and dryers. Wi-Fi was good and antenna TV reception was good. There are two enclosed dog runs: one in the back which is just dirt and one in the front which is grass and shaded. Our dogs loved meeting other dogs. Only two things we didn't like about this KOA: it's not well marked till you are one block away. We almost felt like we made the wrong turn. The other problem was the highway noise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

WOW! $54.00 for a night in the heat of summer!! We told them we were handicapped and we got the farthest spot possible from the restrooms. There were lots of spots near it and with shade trees, but we were out in the wide open sun! Those closer and shadier spots were never occupied while we were there! And for the second time this summer we found no toilet paper in the men's bathroom both days we were there. The lady had just cleaned the bathroom and it still had no paper! And there is only one toilet each for men and women and two showers that are family style. Be ready to line up if you stay here!!!! And no cable TV either. There are a few stations on the antennae but for $54 you would think you would get a lot more. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here because it was close to our relative's house. It seems more like a transient campground, than one where people stayed for long visits. It was never full. The sites were small, but clean with a concrete pad. The restrooms were clean, and the pool and hot tub were nice. There was a fenced dog area, no grass anywhere. While we would stay here again if we had to, we would prefer to stay on the west side of town where you get a better view of the mountains and closer proximity to Old Town and Acoma pueblo. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here back in 2005 and found the park to be much nicer then, though very pricey. This time in June of '09 we needed to be on the east side of Albuquerque to get some work done at a nearby shop is only reason we stayed here for two nights. Though staff is trying they seemed stressed. Park has many run down campers with junk around. I said $42 on rate, but it could have been more, whatever the rate it was way too high for the lack of everything. Took our little chihuahua out once to walk and found too much poop not picked up so would not take her out away from just beside our coach. I was sadly disappointed to see what could be a good placed to stay be sad. Will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were very disappointed in this KOA. It was very noisy due to interstate traffic, making sleeping difficult unless the A/C is running. The sewer connections at the site were not close enough to use so we used the dump station when leaving. The directions to get to the park are OK, but there is no sign to indicate where to turn when coming from the interstate. The price is very high for what is provided. It did have the best dog run area we have seen, which was actually big enough for a dog to run around. We camped here in a Motorhome.

In a month long RV trip, this was the most expensive campground that we found. The wi fi was not strong, but ok. We felt for the price we should have had cable TV, but were told that it was an old park so there was no cable. Hmmm, if it was old, I guess it had wi fi and 50 amp hook ups in the old days. I don't think so. Very southwestern--no grass, no trees. Staff was very responsive when we had a "doggy deposit" left on our site when we arrived. We don't plan to stay at this park again.

Managers at this park were friendly and had a sense of humor. In fact, theirs was probably the most effusive welcome we have ever had at an RV park. The only thing they could have done to make us feel more welcome would have been to have maidens strewing flower petals before us as we were escorted to our site. When we pulled into our site the gentleman who led us there noticed that some of the branches from our shade tree was brushing the top of our motorhome, so he went to get a trimmer and trimmed them. We had not even noticed the problem. When we had a problem with water pressure they immediately sent a fellow out to look and he checked and it; turns out it was our water regulator attachment, which he cleaned for us. They have smoke stack stoves and BBQs at each site, as well as a picnic table. Sites were asphalt but not too level. The pull in sites had adequate parking space next to rig. There was no cable TV, but some local channels were available through the antenna. Wonderful shade trees. The Tengo provided Wi-Fi was sluggish but otherwise fairly dependable. It was annoying, however, to have go through the sign up procedure every time you log off. The park was peaceful and quiet, but as others have noted difficult to find because of very poor signage. Coming from I-40, there was no sign at turn off street, Skyline, when coming from freeway. Skyline is a small street, not a major intersection. Use your GPS. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been here for one month, the rate is based on the monthly rate. We like being in town, and this is the only campground in Albuquerque that is actually in town. We've had some issues since arriving with things like asking for a site where we can get our satellite TV and being given one of the few sites with a tree blocking the view of the sky and asking if the Wi-Fi is good, and being told it is new and works well. However, the antenna for the Wi-Fi are low, so the other RVs block the signal quite effectively. We could not even get a strong enough signal to connect until we moved closer to the source. My feeling is that they will promise you anything you ask for, but then just put you on any site. We were not allowed to shift sites because all of the other people had reservations. Of course, we also had a reservation, but for some reason did not get what we were promised; a central location in the park, satellite TV, and Wi-Fi. The major problem is that only one person, the manager, can handle issues. No other employee is allowed to address problems and he was not here when I had the issue. The restrooms are a bit worn and old as well. We finally got a site that met our needs after speaking to this manager. Except for one lady in the office, the help was friendly, but they politely kept saying that we were out of luck because everyone else had a reservation. They completely disregarding the fact that our reservation was made months ahead of time and we were promised specific things. Once we got the Wi-Fi signal, it kept dropping me offline. The manager was quite responsive to our complaints (site issues and wi-fi), but he cannot be in the office all the time, and nobody else is allowed to be responsive. We will stay here a few more months (have not found a better alternative), so will see how things go the rest of our time here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for four nights during the Rally 2009 in a pull through. Although the campground was full we did not feel cramped and it was very quiet. Managers were very helpful and provided a "donations only" pancake breakfast. Very convenient to Albuquerque sights. Only complaint is lack of cable TV. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is ok, it is mostly gravel with blacktop roadways. Sites are fairly level and pull thrus available. Upon trying the electric, my tester showed an open ground, after notifying the office, a KOA person came out very quickly to remedy the problem. The campground is close to Rt.40, a plus, and to many downtown sights. My only beef is the lack of signs helping you to find the c.g. exiting off of Rt. 40 exit 166 heading east. You only see the KOA sign pointing to the c.g. after you have turned off of Juan Tabo road, onto Skyline rd. GPS helps here. For a large c.g. the restrooms are small, with two shower stalls and a single toilet each for the men and women at three locations in the park. The laundry is clean and machines look maintained. The staff was friendly at check in and helpful for info on the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This rate was for 5 nights over a weekend with the KOA card discount. It is quite expensive for what you get. It is close to town and has some highway noise from I-40. It has paved roads and sites with gravel and trees. The sites are mostly level although a bit narrow, as is the case with many older parks. There is no cable TV so pick a site where the trees will not intefere with a satellite dish. It has Tengointernet which on my wifi always gives trouble. We would stay here again in spring time because the other parks are out on the west mesa with dirt roads. That is a dust problem when the wind blows, or parks are in towns which are further north.

Rate is for 4 people with KOA card. When we arrived we were disappointed and almost decided to leave and try the Bernalillo KOA. The surrounding area is low income urban and industrial. The park is a big, wind swept parking lot that didn't seem well maintained. We decided to give it a shot anyway. The park didn't seem to have the usual KOA amenities and we were shocked to see they had received the 2006 President's Award? The bathrooms were clean but outdated basic facilities. There were a few banana bikes locked up in a fenced cage. On the second day, we found the dog park which was actually very nice with a dog obstacle course. We chose this KOA since it was closer to Old Town Albuquerque but Old Town turned out to be very touristy. The Sandia Peak Tramway was great. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is one block from Route 66, and the ramp on to I-40 is nearby. We spent some afternoons swimming in the pool which was very, very clean.

I will preface this review by saying this was our first stay at a KOA. I'm not a big fan of paved parking lots disguised as RV parks, and that's just what it is. The highway noise was very loud. Bathrooms were clean, but in need of updating. Easy highway access and weak wifi, but no cable. Spots are very close together and what would normally be grass is filled in with pea gravel. I thought this was park was overpriced. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had a very enjoyable stay here. Our daughter wanted to have a birthday campout with some friends. Despite the heaviest rains we have seen here in about a year, we had a great time. The staff was exceptional, the campground was very clean. The proximity to the Interstate means a lot of road noise, which we were able to block out with a fan and the rain hitting the pop-up. The airport is also close by, but we did not really notice a lot of jet noise. The view of Sandia Peak was very nice. It is a little expensive compared to other KOA's we have stayed at, but we would stay here again for a short stay or an overnight. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed here just for one night as a stopover. We never unhooked our trailer. The hosts were exceptional, they said they would be there for 7 months. Pool was excellent, hot tub was in a seperate enclosed area and was excellent. Putt putt golf was the nicest of any campgrounds we stayed. It looked just like the photo on their website. We mentioned that we were probably not going to unhook, and order pizza delivered. It wasn't long before the host came on his golf cart with the phone number of the local Pizza Hut. I would say this was the nicest KOA we stayed our entire trip. I gave it a 9 because we were given the impression that this was not a very safe area. But we are always cautious, wherever we go.

The park was very well kept, however the sites were very close together. I had to back out of a pull through site because there was not enough room between rigs to turn out. Found it odd that a park such as this does not have cable tv. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I felt the $55 rate, because of the balloon festival, to be a rip off as many others did. There were many empty sites our entire stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Came in at 7:30 pm, self check-in with Credit Card, list of sites to choose from at checkin stand. Took awhile to find site, many streets and slots a little confusing in the dark. Grandson enjoyed playground, even with frozen water on the slides. Gravel road and slots, fairly level, close together but enough room for slide, clean but nothing to warrant the price which they have a chart for based on different hookups, number of persons in party, and pets. Going to find something cheaper for overnight stay on next trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was like parking in a kitty litter box. There is a lot of very, very small gravel around that gets tracked in everywhere. I believe it was also overpriced for the amenities. You are almost right next to I-40. The interstate travel noise is very bad, and this was with our dual pane windows which help reduce the noise. They allow pets, but the pet area is not very nice and right next to large garbage containers. The parking spots were also sort of narrow and the neighbors were right next to each other. Some people might like this "parking lot" atmosphere with rows of campers right next to each other, but we will probably not be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is convenient to I-25 without being right on it. It is on the first road over along the interstate but on the far side with large building businesses between that help block the noise. Sites were gravel and the one we were put in required moderate leveling but doable. Bathrooms and showers were quite clean but several stalls on both the ladies and men's sides were out of service. Perhaps since it's the off-season they are waiting to call the plumber? The check-in staff were friendly but we were disappointed to hear that there would be no free pancakes as this was closed for the holidays. Would definitely consider staying here again if in the area. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Landed here by chance after our original park messed up our reservation. Stayed for a week. Nice pull through sites and convenient to both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Two good size dog parks - never seen that before! Staff was friendly, patient, and efficient. Grounds were clean, safe, and well-kept. This park is great for an overnight or extended stay.

We aren't big KOA fans, but had to stay one night here for two reasons: 1) a friend was going to pick us up and take us to The Range in Bernalillo for dinner (don't miss that place) and 2) the reviews about the breakfasts were intriguing (and, it turns out, accurate). The free pancakes are actually some of the best we've ever had, but that breakfast burrito, with green Chile? Terrific. We made another meal out of it later, it was so big. Off season, park wasn't crowded. Dog run was adequate. Owners are very hands on and their pride in their property shows everywhere. Very friendly staff. When in area again, we might stay here (if it's not expected to rain). We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed this quaint KOA park. The spaces are fairly wide and there's nice landscaping including wildflowers, and a small waterfall and fountain in the gardens. All the electrical boxes and other functional features around the park are painted with local motifs and the outdoor cafe has multiple strings of colorful chili-lights which adds to the fun atmosphere of the park. The pool looked clean but we did not use it. The cafe serves free (yummy!) pancakes, coffee & tea for breakfast and offers other cafe fare throughout the day - including some tasty southwest dishes. The staff is exceptionally friendly. The night we arrived, there was a customer appreciation night with free food, drinks, and a live (very good and versatile) band. In the summer, we heard that they show movies on an outdoor bigscreen TV. We only spent one night but we will definitely camp there again the next time we return to Albuquerque. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a nice park, with a good pool, and we were close to the restrooms which were clean and comfortable. They had a free pancake breakfast the next morning. The approach to the park was through a neighborhood that seemed very modest and we wondered if we had chosen a good park....we were very pleased with our choice.

This is the best choice in Albuquerque! The previous review is wrong - this park is off I-25, not I-40. FREE PANCAKES! But...we highly recommend the breakfast burrito with sausages, potatoes and green chiles. If you can take it, add green chile sauce (not for wimps). The Wi-Fi is good, the cable works well. Everything's clean. This is one of only two KOA's that we visit because we want to. It IS the desert, and they can't control the weather. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground was so enjoyable because of the people who owned it as well as the staff. It has a new owner of 4 years and they are improving it every day. It is family owned and run. The spaces were nice, grass, shade. Pet friendly, and people friendly. Old town and new town Albuquerque was wonderful. Temps were fantastic. Old town had lots of awesome shopping from native to modern. Restaurants galore,from authentic Mexican to ice cream. Park in center of town with music and lots of shade and benches to sit. Love everything about this town. Such an enjoyable 5 days, thanks to the people at the campground and surrounding areas. Could live there... We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a well cared for KOA with mostly level, pull-thru sites. It's right off of Interstate #40, but the traffic noise is not bad due to a long sound barrier. No train tracks nearby! There is a fenced off-leash play area for dogs that is large enough for some serious frisbee chasing (i.e., dog exercise). It's a KOA, so the sites are a little closer together than we like, but it's not bad. The park is spotless. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here in 1991 and loved it then. When we decided to go to Albuquerque on this trip this was the R.V. park we headed for. Outstanding staff, nice store, level sites, Wi-Fi and cable. They have a great breakfast for $14.00 with some seriously good chili. Honestly, it would be hard to choose a favorite between this KOA and Las Cruces KOA. This one has more trees and is quiet and peaceful. My only knock is that the site we were in had some branches a little too close for comfort. Otherwise a 10! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We love this campground! We've camped here many nights and have always had great service. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful and are super informative about things to do in the area. The pool hits the spot, too. The owner has been renovating the park over the past few years, and it really shows. If you camped here while under the previous ownership and were dissatisfied you should give it another shot. It's much nicer than the surrounding parks and cheaper, too. And who doesn't love the free coffee and pancakes! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a normal KOA campground. We were passing through during the Balloon Festival and were lucky to get a site. The site we were given for our 30' Fifth Wheel was barely large enough for the trailer. We blocked the roadway when we pulled in and were unhooking. Had to park the truck behind the trailer and partially blocked the RV next to us. The personnel working at the park were very nice, helpful and accommodating. They had a real tough job at this time of the year. I will avoid Albuquerque during the balloon festival next time. I would stay here any other time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Called Albuquerque North by KOA, but about a 20-minute ride via freeway to the center of the city. Owners were fairly new, friendly and were working hard to remodel. Employees were extremely helpful and amiable. Landscape maintenance was always being performed. Pool had a retractable cover. During inclement weather, and at night, the pool is closed. The park offers free pancakes and coffee in the "snack shack" on the property, but the food provider is not associated with the owner and gets angry when additional (non free) food is not ordered. Stayed there 8 days but only did the free pancakes and coffee on the first day; it was too irritating. Free shuttle service to nearby Indian casino. Sites on level gravel. Many without shade. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

General KOA. Nice, hard working staff they always appeared to be on the move. It is directly off the highway, I have read some people complain about highway noise, I heard none. I may be bothersome if you were in a tent. Nice pool, closed a little early though, pool closed at 8:00 with still an hour of daylight left. Sites are average for a KOA, not too close, but close enough to where you definitely had to speak to your neighbor, if you wanted to or not. Sites had picnic tables, fairly level on pea gravel. Free pancakes mornings, with sides at extra prices. My wife picked up pancakes for the myself and the kids while I made the rest. The initial reaction when we pulled in was kind of scary. The surrounding area looks questionable, to me, but once in and settle there were no problems. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is next to freeway, but turning onto frontage road from northbound I25 is difficult for large rigs. Management is clueless, more often than not staffed by bubbleheaded teenagers. Rates are extremely high, but if you want amenities, this place has them. If you're looking for a place to pull off the road and just rest, this place is way overpriced and noisy. If you have kids, it may be the place for you; for serious RV'ers, I'd pass it by. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 5 months. The park is in an excellent location. Access to I-25 is only about 2 blocks away and there are two casinos just minutes away. The price we paid monthly did include electricity. The park was being upgraded by the new owner during our entire stay. The park does offer a view of the Sandia Mountains, has plenty of shade trees, a pool, a cafe, cabins, pancake breakfasts, play areas for children and dancing every Friday and Saturday. This is a FUN place to be and if a bit of noise made by people having a great time bothers you than you might want to consider another RV park. We found the sites to be very adequate for our needs with plenty of space for our car. This is a very clean park. The hardworking staff is incredibly friendly and very helpful. The day we were leaving we discovered that we had a flat tire. The owner and two other staff members spent 2 hours in the heat helping us put the spare on our RV so that we could get to a garage to have the tire replaced. The owner and staff are great, the location is great and I would have given this park a ten if the pool hours and laundry hours were extended. Both close too early. Having stayed in all of the parks in Albuquerque and surrounding areas, this is the best park overall. We will definitely be staying at this park again in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We wanted a campground close to Albuquerque to try out our new pop-up camper, and this KOA was our first choice based on proximity to our home. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. After arriving at our site, I couldn't get the propane pilot to light, and there were two sewer connections at the site, so I was not certain which one I should use. The host came right over to the site with me and happily helped me through the connections and answered some other questions that I had. The campground itself was smaller than some we have stayed at in the past, but it was very clean and had plenty of shaded sites. Our daughter enjoyed the playground (unfortunately the pool wasn't open yet) very much. The free pancake breakfast in the morning was very nice too, with very friendly staff that made the family feel right at home. The restrooms were clean and so were the showers. The only reason I gave this a 9 instead of 10 is simply because compared to other KOA campgrounds that we have tented at in the past, there are a couple that we liked better. We enjoyed our stay and we would certainly stay at the Albuquerque North KOA again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Planned to stay a week or more here. Stayed one night and left. The site was terribly uneven and we couldn't get level, which seems odd for a paved park. We called ahead for a late arrival and were charged for one night with instructions to come to the office in the morning and convert it to the weekly rate. The morning staff lady was extremely rude, acted very bothered that we interrupted her chatting with some other staffers, and refused to give us the weekly rate that was promised the night before. Fittingly enough, this was the only park in all the southwest that our dog got a thorn in her paw! Fortunately there were numerous other and better choices in the area and we happily moved on to a much more accommodating location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We revisited park after not doing so for several years. Before we just found the streets & sites too tight for a big rig. Now they have opened a new area that is very big rig friendly. Sites are big enough to handle any size rig with any number of slides although unhooking a tow car behind very large motor homes may be required. Sites are gravel with a concrete patio with a table. The utilities are modern & well placed. Staff was friendly and the breakfast buffet was good. We will return in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We checked out several Albuquerque-area campgrounds, based on the reviews on this site, and--no surprise--the reviews on this site were right again! American RV Park is just great: friendly staff, very nice facilities (laundry, showers, hot tub, store), but the reason we stayed here? Rain was expected and this was the only CG with paved sites not dirt (mud). Plus, the dog run area was crucial, since we'd been subjecting the poor dog to lots of desert/rocky campgrounds of late. The only downside is I-40 traffic noise. We stayed in the first row of sites behind the main buildings (which front the freeway). Good proximity to facilities on rainy days but those trucks run 24 hours/day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were very disappointed with this park. After reading all the 9-10 star reviews we were really expecting something special. We can only guess that the park posts bogus reviews OR the people that do post reviews do not stay at very many locations. The RV Park is located immediately adjacent to the 40 freeway 8 miles West of Albuquerque (outside the city limits) just above the grade descending down to the valley floor. All day and night you could hear the Jake Brakes engaging on the rigs as they traveled East (and we were in the back of the park!). On top of the highway noise the RV park is also underneath the landing path for ABQ International and Kirtland AFB (F-16s are a bit noisy). We had to run our AC at night just to drown out the noise. The park itself is OK. We were unwilling to pay the extra $5 per day to be in a pull through which meant we were placed in the back in a narrow back-in (I had to trim a tree to pop-out our sides). The neighbors park wherever they please with some trucks sticking out into the street making navigation difficult. We were right next to a couple that worked as camp-hosts and their "authority" seemed to allow them to let their dog poop at will (I had to pick up 10 piles in our site during setup). The pool was clean but the host would close it down early at night. The spa was warm but was a bit frothy (i.e., not well cared for). The laundry had newer machines but no coin dispensers so the one time we went to do laundry we were out of luck. Anyone giving this park an overall rating of 7 or better is being very generous. This is an OK location for overnight stays or a few days but don't stay a week like we did. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has a large new area that works very well for big rigs. The grounds are very clean and the staff was great. It is a little hard to find but only because of the road construction on the interstate which is not the fault of the RV park. The wi-fi signal is pretty weak, but that seems to be the case at most of the parks that we have stayed at over the past year. Overall we have been very happy with this park and will stay there again when we are in Albuquerque. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very polished, professional park. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful: when we had cable TV trouble, they sent a maintenance man immediately. Everything was immaculate. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is that the internet connection went in and out regularly during our stay, which was frustrating. There was highway noise, but not excessive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

An excellent RV Park. This is one of the best we have ever stayed in. The park is clean and well maintained. Very pet friendly park with a fenced pet area and a great place to meet your neighbors and their best friends. The staff would pass out dog treats to the dogs whenever they passed us when our dogs were outside. The staff was outstanding and very friendly. Even the other campers seemed more friendly than usual. The staff's attitude is catching. Wi-Fi worked very well. The cable TV had a good selection of channels. They have a free continental breakfast. Park has concrete pads and level sites where we stayed. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice park. It is easily accessible from I-40 even though there is considerable road construction underway. Our campsite was in the middle of the park and there was no road noise. There are trees throughout, park was clean overall, the restrooms and showers by the office were clean and spacious, and the laundry was decent sized. Staff were very friendly and helpful about the local area. The free breakfast is a plus. The only negative for us was the sites were fairly close together. We would definitely stay here again.

This is a great place to stay. The staff was helpful and courteous and changed our site from one of the large, open sites (no landscaping) in the new section, to a beautiful site with grass on each side and small trees. The site was shorter than the big-rig sites in the new section but we were able to unhook the car and park it along the road in front of our site. There is a little highway noise, but not bad at all: the park is set back from the highway access road. They are very dog friendly with a shaded, grassy, fenced area for pets in the middle of the park and another large, sandy off-leash area on the side of the park where you could easily play ball or frisbee with a larger dog. They provide pick-up bags and trash cans at both locations. They offer a complimentary continental breakfast of toast, bagels, cereal, milk, coffee and juice which was very nice. I would recommend this very nice, neat and clean park. Just let the staff know what kind of site you prefer: treed, grassy, gravel or open and I am sure you will have a pleasant stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow! This is a Legacy RV Resort and has excellent ratings and reviews on this site and others. And, it has certainly earned those distinctions. It's just a really really nice park. I believe someone said it has the top ratings of any RV park in New Mexico and we can see why. Oh it's not without it's issues: it's difficult to get to because of the construction near the park, some sites are tight. Biggest issue for us was maneuverability amongst a lot of people who had their tow cars part way in the access roads. This sites we saw all had concrete landing pads, gravel sides (some with grass) and nice picnic tables. Sites are nice and wide and have plenty of room to push things out and are well maintained. All access roads are paved. Good Wi-Fi and water pressure. The staff are really great. The morning waffle breakfast needs a bit more zing, but can't complain much when it's free. All-in-all, it's an incredible value. One recommendation for big rig people, there's a special big rig lot but it's just an ugly old parking lot with hook ups. If you have a choice, chose one of the other sites within the main park that can hold a big rig...you'll be much happier. Oh and one last thing, the office closes early, like 5:00, but the parks after hours check in is really great. You pick an envelope for the site you want out of the night box, fill out the information, and you're done...but take a walk first to make sure the site you pick is the one you want. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites here are pretty level. Our site had a somewhat grassy area, mixed with stickers, weeds and foxtails. Sprinklers came on while setting up at 3:30 in the afternoon. Pet run was mostly dirt due to some work going on inside the fenced area. Wi-Fi did not work at our site but did in office area. We had to hook-up cable in 3 sites before we got it to work. The continental breakfast was average. Don't know how they were rated as New Mexico's best RV park... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Excellent RV park close (5 miles) to downtown Albuquerque. The staff was friendly and the facilities were clean. Stayed here four nights while sightseeing and visiting friends in the area. Wi-Fi worked great for us at our site and poolside. Pool/hot tub were excellent. Cable TV worked fine for us. Construction on Interstate-40 ramps near park required a short detour but we had no problems navigating the roads with our 40 ft motorhome plus tow. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The price reflects the weekly rate. We chose this park because it has Wi-Fi and cable TV: but neither one worked for us. We had to use our outside antenna for local channels and go to the breakfast room to get Wi-Fi even though we were parked under an antenna. The breakfast, laundry, restrooms, pool, etc., are very nice. But we really wanted good TV and Wi-Fi for the week. This is not out of the ordinary however, we have been in many parks that advertise cable TV and Wi-Fi only to find neither one works acceptably. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is part of the Legacy RV Resort and is quite upscale as a RV park. I’d compare it to the Marriott Inn or a Regency Hyatt as a motel. Sites have concrete pads, are well spaced, quite clean, with some trees for shade. Restrooms, showers, and laundry are clean and handy. The pool was closed due to storms in the area but the spa was open as it is in an enclosed area. The free continental breakfast consist of bagels, various breads to toast, coffee cakes, and hot or cold cereal. The only thing I missed was the waffle iron to make your own waffles. The staff was helpful with ideas of things to do and see. This place is defiantly a keeper. Interstate work and construction at the exit required a little navigation but no real problem. There is another RV park a block or so before getting to American RV and I almost turned into the wrong driveway. Only my GPS kept me straight. So watch out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Interesting park because it consists of two sections, the old and the new. We stayed in the new that has very nice, wide concrete pads. I didn’t survey the old section so my comments and rating are based solely on the new section. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Sites are wide, level and well planned. For instance, the sewer fitting is low which lets gravity do its work quite well. Its nice to lift an empty drain hose. WiFi worked well. Close to I-40 but noise was not a factor. Perhaps due to the prevailing wind direction. I didn’t note any adverse factors and would stay here again. We stayed two nights and would have stayed longer if our schedule permitted.

Huge Class A Motorhomes and Fifth Wheels dominate the large sites. They offer free continental breakfast in the mornings. Cereal, bagels, pastries, coffee and orange juice are available.

We thoroughly enjoyed this park; it is at the end of town but very convenient if you are traveling west on I 40. Staff was super--extremely friendly and helpful. Sites are a bit close, but plenty of room for slides, awnings, etc. without being right up against your neighbor. There are some very big rig sites which are on a concrete parking lot. Since we weren't that big, we opted for the grass areas, which were quite nice. Free continental breakfast with free coffee throughout morning at office; free popcorn in afternoons--just other examples of the welcome that we felt when we arrived. Camping World just across interstate. We definitely will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here during the Good Sam Rally and were impressed at how organized and professional the staff was. On the day the rally ended, the park emptied and then was filled again as 70 RVs arrived from the Balloon Festival grounds. We watched as each RV was led to their space and had the hookups explained to the driver. Other aspects of the park have been described at length in other reviews; suffice to say that the park was up to its usual high standards and that we had an enjoyable stay.

We thought this was a great place to stay despite the fact that the sites are a bit too short and narrow and a little too close together. The roads were paved but also a bit tight. However, none of this was so bad that it would keep us from staying there again. The staff is super. They were a great help when we had a problem. The sites were paved, level, and had a patio with a table. I can’t remember if there was a grill. Most sites were shaded. The free Wi-Fi was good, but the cable TV was a little lacking. Not all the channels came in clear, and for some reason, that even the staff couldn’t figure out, we had to disconnect the cable and use our antennae to get local channels—just a fluke at our site. The pool looked nice. The construction on I-40 is still a mess, and we could hear traffic noise, but it did not bother us. Apparently the park is adding sites. It will be interesting to see if they will be larger to better accommodate big rigs. Either way we will be staying there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice park with excellent camp workers. The work staff are friendly and helpful and worth whatever they are being paid. Camp serves a nice breakfast from 8 -10 ( Waffles, pastries, cereal, juice, coffee, bagels/english muffins ), very nice. Pool & hot tub clean and sites are easy to get in and out of. Has a nice dog walk but watch our for the goatheads/cockle burs in your dogs feet - most annoying. Only downer was that while we were there we heard of some tire valves being cut and a trailer hitch that was actually stolen. Not good and maybe for a park this size a night roving security might be helpful. I-40 road noise is bearable. If you visit, the RT 66 casino offers a nice buffet M-W (10.00 for two with a players card ). We'd stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our favorite park when visiting the Albuquerque area; professionally run, nicely landscaped, and fairly priced. We took advantage of the stay four nights/get one free which makes the stay very reasonable. Free Wi-Fi worked well, good cable, and the free "continental" breakfast are great touches. Road noise is noticeable at night but not too bad if running the air or fan and being close to I-40 allows easy access to town. A great park, we'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price was a little steep, or I would have given it an 8. Friendly office staff, and Bill led me right to our spot on the golf cart. Decent-sized pull through, concrete is showing its age and is breaking apart/coming up in places. Very little grass, mostly large gravel/rocks where there is not concrete. Everything about this park is aging, the picnic table at our spot was barely worth sitting on (though I did see nicer tables at other sites). Good water pressure, and excellent 50 amp power. The dog run appears to consist of a big dirt lot that had a semi truck and a bunch of junk in it, I didn't even open the gate and explore it any further after seeing that. The continental breakfast was a nice offering, it featured good food. We stayed for one night passing through. I would stay again, probably not on a long-term basis but it is OK to use for a night. I would have felt better about staying there had the price been about $15 less. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in this very nice park on our shakedown run with our new used 5th wheel. The park was very accommodating with our reservation and escort to site, even though we arrived shortly after the office was closed. The site was long enough for our 37' fifth wheel plus long bed crew cab pickup. Check their map for sites with an extra parking place included! The park was clean and well maintained. The landscaping is very nice considering the arid location. Unfortunately the wind blew horribly the entire time that we were there so we did not explore the facilities as much as we might have otherwise. The park was well run and quiet. Even though it is fairly close to I-40 we did not notice significant traffic noise. There is a good place to walk your dogs, although there are some goathead (puncture vine) stickers to watch out for. It is very close to the Route 66 Casino, which has a decent buffet and reasonable diesel fuel. The FJ Truckstop is even closer at the Unser exit (the next exit to the east). This is definitely the best facility in Albuquerque. I would have rated it higher had it not been in a very desolated area with little vegetation, but then this is New Mexico!

Sites are nicely landscaped and level.Sites are a little short for longer units so you do have to drop your car.Good wifi and cable---picnic table and concrete pad. Staff seemed to be friendly and helpful.Laundry area was clean and everything worked well. The breakfast was well attended and had several offerings. Easy acess off I 40 but it is west of town about 10 miles.The pool was closed for the season and the spa was closed indefinetly for repairs according to the sign in the office during our stay. We would saty again in this park We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were here almost 2 months--the "rate" was based on their monthly rate. Since we were here a while, the distance from town was not convenient. Overall the staff was friendly, but some were not (I guess that is expected when you have so many work-campers; there were a lot!--when I wanted to fill up with propane I checked into the office to let them know and they said someone would be right out. I was near the fill tank, but waiting for the person to come out and guide me the remaining 6 feet. I waited 20 minutes and went back in to find out when they would come out--the guy said "I'm not coming out there until you pull all the way into the fill station." Probably just me, but I thought that was not called for.). The monthly rate does not include the free continental breakfast. We have dogs and (natural for New Mexico) there were tons of stickers anywhere they could walk. The sites were level and not too close together. We are full-timers and were not sure how long we planned to stay, but were told that we could not check in without providing a departure date--so we made one up. The wi-fi was free when we arrived, but then they started charging for it. The service was intermittent--it constantly went down and kicked me off line. When we complained to the staff, they commented that it was noise and that was just the way it is with wi-fi. The Thanksgiving potluck in the clubhouse was a nice touch--they provided the turkey! We would stay here again. Even though it was a bit out of town, it seemed to be the nicest park in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We did not experience the rude people previously mentioned in reviews, in fact all of the staff were friendly and very helpful. The water connection is in the ground and very difficult to connect. The sites are short and have high curbing which makes it extremely difficult to maneuver with a tow. I scrapped my dolly on the curbing and damaged the stripping mechanism when leaving. You will have to unhook your tow because it will stick out in the road. Be careful when entering from I-40, as it is easy to miss the turn onto the frontage road and you will wind up back on I-40. The breakfast room was very clean and the breakfast was mediocre but it was free, so not much to complain about. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We used this park for an overnight stop and did not want to disconnect our tow vehicle. We did not encounter hostile staff at check-in as have others. The park is conveniently located near the freeway and has mature landscaping. The sites are closely spaced, maneuvering for a big rig is difficult and the utilities on the site are poorly located. The sewer connection is located at the extreme end of the site and since we were towing a car, we could not connect. The water connection is located in a box sunk below ground level and I didn't want to get down on hands and knees to remove the spider webs and connect. In our 40' bus conversion towing a Chevy pickup, we hung out several feet on each end of the site. I cannot see any way that a 45' bus, towing, could use this park, unless the tow vehicle was disconnected. In other words, not a good overnight stop for big rigs. Smaller motorhomes and trailers will probably find this park to be satisfactory but I cannot recommend it for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites are way too short. We requested a large pull through and were reassured that it would adequately handle our 36 foot fifth wheel and our truck. Well it didn't. It was barely big enough for our fifth wheel. So we had to unhook and park it in another area. The cable, which is new, is a joke. Maybe 8 channels. Overnight if you are desperate.

I consider this to be the best RV park in my repertoire. The first time we went to this campground, we had been headed to the park across the Interstate that I had decided upon, after researching all the possibilities in the neighborhood from the vantage of the Internet. When we got there, the office was closed (well before closing time) without any after hours check-in instructions in evidence; there were street people hanging around out front; and the fulltime residents kind of stared at us like we were from outer space. We finally tracked down the manager who was busily engaged in a little ‘afternoon delight’. Seeing how he didn’t even want to come to the door and because this park was not measuring up to my expectations, at all, I invoked the ‘three strikes and your out’ rule. We jumped back in the truck and headed across the Interstate to the American RV Park. I’ve been happy about that turn of events ever since! The American RV Park is the rare ’10’ in my book. I’m even reluctant to review it since I’d rather keep the best to myself. Our full hookup, concrete pad, site cost $29 (under $31 after taxes). We also make a point of partaking in the complimentary continental breakfast served (8am to 10am) next to the office whenever we are there. Besides recouping a few dollars on coffee, waffles, and pastry, we usually meet lots of interesting people. No less interesting are the staff that have always been friendly and helpful to me beyond the call of duty. Most of them are working campers so there is a lot of turnover. We also use the campground’s free WIFI from our RV. You might need an entry code for the WIFI (inquire at the front desk when you check-in). The office has a gift shop and sells a very few groceries and RV supplies. There is also a new Camping World on the other side of the Interstate. The separate men and women’s sanitary facilities are marble tiled and, along with the laundry, are always in great shape. There is a nice little pool under the New Mexico sun and a clubhouse. The close proximity of the itinerate sites that we use to the Interstate has never been a problem for us. We have a pop-top truck camper but I don’t recall ever hearing noise from the traffic. I think the roadbed of the interstate is below the surrounding ground there so that probably attenuates the sound somewhat. The campground is attractive and resplendent with mature shade trees. Albuquerque is an interesting city so there are lots of attractions within range of the American RV Park. This park is our preferred base of operations for the greater Albuquerque area and is a good value to boot. The park’s asphalt roads are laid out in a grid near the Interstate so it is no challenge for big rigs to get to the park or move around inside. Note that Albuquerque, normally a civil town, becomes decidedly uncivil during the Balloon Fest when demands surge and prices around town skyrocket. Expect to suffer accordingly. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

They need to cut the grass and treat for ants. Wireless internet is poor. Most importantly, the staff (particularly the manager) is rude and not very helpful. We were screamed at for carrying a small maltese dog to check in. No sign is posted that says dogs are not allowed. One morning I asked the manager for a code for the internet which is needed, and I was told "get out, we are not open yet". He could have handed me a small piece of paper with the code on it, but he chose not to. We also witnessed customers being yelled at for "pulling into the wrong lane" at check in. How are we to know which lane is the correct one, since no signs are posted for check in. The park is a Legacy Park, which is a group of parks, and I will be contacting Legacy about the poor management and staff at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

All that friendly staff must have taken the day off. The facilities are excellent, the staff was terrible. Honestly, they were the rudest we've ever dealt with. Nice park, good sites, good pool, but the staff was poor. As an example: at the entrance there are two lanes to check in. There was a rig in each lane (we in our short MH were in one lane, a truck and trailer in the other). A large MH pulled in and aimed for our lane (more room). The "escort" jumped out of his golfcart and made the guy get into the other lane, leaving his toad blocking the exit. The escort seemed very angry he would pick the shorter lane? He actually yelled at the guy! Fortunately, he didn't feel the need to talk to us at all, just pointed at our site without slowing down. The rest of the staff was comparable. A campground that could be very nice, that we will never stay at again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed for four nights at this park (fifth night is free when you stay for 4 nights but unfortunately we could only stay for the 4 nights). Staff was friendly and helpful. Had a nice pull thru site with full hookups. Sites are nicely landscaped with some trees and nice grass area for each site. Nice swimming pool area with a hot tub. Campground offered free breakfast every morning which include coffee, OJ, coffee cakes, cereal, bagels, toast, and waffles. Stay was thoroughly enjoyable. Only negative was some noise from the nearby interstate but it was not too bad. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent a week here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check in by a very professional staff was quick and we were escorted to our paved, level site which had a patio and picnic table. We had an end site, with large shade trees and landscaped grass, and the hookups were conveniently located. Cable TV was being installed while we were there, and the free WiFi generally worked well. On two occasions when it failed, a call to the office resulted in it being restored within 30 minutes. The free continental breakfast is a nice touch, just don't expect more than cereal, bagels, and frozen waffles. The gift shop is unusually well stocked; whoever does the buying has great taste. Overall, this is a very well run operation that provides a great stay for a moderate price. We'll stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We reserved a month at this park, based largely on the advertised availability of pool, hot tub, and free WiFi. Upon arrival we were told that the pool and hot tub were closed. For the first 2 weeks neither the pool nor hot tub was available due to repairs on pool. There was never a satisfactory explanation given as to why the hot tub was closed since it was located in a separate enclosed building. After 2 weeks they opened the hot tub, but delayed almost a week longer before opening the pool. The free WiFi was very flaky with frequent drop outs and speed changing erratically from good to a fraction of dial-up for no apparent reason. We asked the management about these problems and were told that they don’t understand WiFi. We then asked if we could contact the provider and were told that was not permitted. We did move to a site closer to the access point after a few days which improved access and reduced the number of drop outs. When questioned further about the problems with the WiFi, the manager responded, “What do you expect for free”. All in all, the management was non-accountable and cavalier. We eventually re-oriented our roof-mounted, directional antenna towards the adjacent park (High Desert RV Park) and paid for real WiFi provided by NomadISP. Be aware that this park charges for propane on the basis of your tank size regardless of how much propane is added! We suggest you fill your tanks at High Desert RV Park next door where they charge according to the quantity of propane added. On the positive side, the overall landscaping was very nice and the facilities such as toilets and showers were nice. In summary, if you do not require WiFi and have no need to interact with the management, the park is pleasant although overpriced. We will not stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Staff was nice at check in and we received no static from anyone. We think this park is the best one in Albuquerque and we will return in future. Cable TV would be nice on all sites, only small number have it now. Other parks close by cost less but you receive less in turn.

Large, well-established RV park on the far west side of Albuquerque. Easy off & on I-40. We have always stayed & been very pleased with American RV, but this year we were rather disappointed. This is another case of the owners changing a former pay-service to a “free amenity”, which is supposed to be a “favor” to the guests. Not in this case – the “free” WiFi didn’t work worth a hoot. I understand that this is not an important issue for many of you – but for those of you who care about quality of the WiFi signal & service, take heed. We’d much rather pay for something that works than have a freebie that doesn’t. Moving on … The park has lovely, mature landscaping and beautifully maintained grounds. The streets are paved with asphalt and the wide, level sites are cement. Each site has an attached adjacent parking area – some of the parking areas are not quite long enough, forcing angled parking. The streets are in need of some resurfacing, falling victim to the typical deterioration that happens in desert climates. The spaces are amply wide and there are no side-by-side hook ups. There are several “premium sites” equipped with instant-on phone, cable TV and charcoal grills. (Surprisingly enough, this park does not offer cable TV on a park-wide basis.) The excellent maintenance extends to the laundry, office and restrooms. The swimming pool was closed during our visit (March 3 – 12). A Continental breakfast is offered daily and served in a charmingly decorated clubhouse area (adjacent to the office). Nicely stocked gift/supply shop in the office area. Propane available on-site. No garbage pick-up at the site, not even at the “premium” sites - only 4 widely-spaced dumpsters for the entire park. The majority of the 188 sites are pull-throughs and are big-rig friendly. All-in-all, this is a very nice park, it is very clean, lots of mature trees and nearby shopping. There are several of the usual discounted rates available (Good Sam, 4 days, 5th day free and so forth.). The park has recently added several nicely designed, furnished lodges that will sleep 8 – 10 people, a great way to share the Balloon Festival with family or friends. [Note: If you’re planning on attending the Festival, you can’t make reservations early enough. The place fills up completely in spite of the hefty “festival rates” (which are double the regular rate).] We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Truly is the nicest park in Albuquerque, although that isn't saying a lot. Only park with grass and spaces were large - no problem getting our 40' motorhome and toad into a pull-thru site. Strange hours - 10 to 6. Pool and spa are only open during office hours. WIFI is available but for $$. However, we were able to pickup a free hotspot in the park. Bathrooms clean - although they run out of hot water frequently. Sante Fe is a much nicer city than Albuquerque so we would stay there next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating even though we arrived early for our reservation just after the Balloon Festival. There were numerous grassy areas where pets could be walked, we didn't experience any of the problems with burrs because it wasn't necessary to walk our pets outside the park.

To enjoy WiFi on your site there was a fee of $2.95/hr or $5.95/day so I decided not to use it and connected with my cell phone after 9PM. Staff were all friendly, store was well-stocked with gift items, and the continental breakfast was complimentary - thanks!

I called several days before my reservation and easily made the reservation. Nothing was mentioned about a 2 day reservation cancellation policy. I found the park in the "Big Rig" RV Park Guide that was given to me by my dealer. As my trip unfolded, I was not going to be able to stay in Albuquerque as planned. I called 9 hours before the "normal" 6:00pm reservation deadline, when a reservation is guaranteed via credit card. I was told that I could not be given a refund on the $30 reservation hold fee because they had a 2 day cancellation policy. I later checked their web site and found no mention of a 2 day reservation cancellation fee. I am sure this is a great park, given the previous reviews, just make sure you either cancel before their hidden deadline or go ahead and use your reservation. Also, "Wi-Fi Available" means there is a charge to use the wireless internet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I'm working a traveler RN contract at an Albuquerque hospital thus had reservations for a 6 month stay. Most of the "monthlys" are in the back row or along the fence. The only maintenance of grounds was in the overnight areas, until Balloon Fiesta time. Some sites do not have phone accessibility. Dead bushes and trees along the fence. Best sites are in the front.Staff, for the most part, nice; but if you need help of any kind, don't ask. Some of staff outright rude. Guides to your site available, but won't stay to assist in parking your rig if you need it. Dog lovers have to constantly pick sand burrs and goat heads out of dog feet. Otherwise, this is a scenic spot, close to everything you need, easy off and on I-40. I would not return to this park for an extended stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park is beautiful and the staff is professional. But the sites are very short and narrow by todays standards. We have a 40' rig and had the park been full, I don't know how we would have gotten out of our space. We had to drive through other sites in order to navigate our rig. That's due to their curbs, not our lack of driving experience. Also, a big no no, they charge for WiFi by the hour or day. That is totally unacceptable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A beautiful, well kept park. There is a charge for Wi-Fi and in order to get cable you must be on a "premium" site. A light breakfast is free of charge. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very clean, though quite militant about dogs. Dogs must be kept inside the trailer, and walked directly to the pet area and then back to the trailer. Sign out front says they're against islamic terrorism (does that mean other kinds of terrorism are ok?). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Clean & well kept. Do get some noise from I-40. Free breakfast available. Real friendly at check in. Quite a few "permanent residents", but they were fine. Bath & showers seemed a bit odd, with a door to a Central room, and then coed rooms off of that? Females were a bit hesitant to use them. Seemed a bit expensive, but we spent 2 nights & would come back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The sites are on the small end of the spectrum for a large rig, but will work. The hook-ups are good and the sites are landscaped with rock and small trees. There is a pool and hot tub and the office has a good store. We stayed here a month and would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We arrived for the Balloon Fiesta so the rates were much higher than I entered above. No
Good Sam discounts are taken during this time! Is that legal with Good Sam? The sites "look" nice until you have to back into them. There is this nice looking curbing that in reality is just there to destroy your tires. I am talking very little room for error! Yes I am good at backing. All the sites are small and very close together so your extra vehicle (tow or towed) has no room to park at the site. The streets are also narrow so I had to get other RVers to move their vehicles so I could back in. We were told they had cable so I asked for the top of the line site when I made my reservations months ago. Well, no cable at our little site. It was only for long term guest. We were told that the antenna worked great but due to the untrimmed trees, we couldn't raise it. After being told they couldn't trim the trees, I talked to someone else and they came and trimmed them using my fiver to reach the limbs. We left several days early but couldn't get a refund although several other RVer told us they wanted to stay longer but were told there were no site available. This was after I told them I was leaving. I imagine they rerented our site at the elevated rate and doubled their income. We would not stay here again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Confused by the reviews of this park: I *loved* it, and consider it the best park I've been to. The only negative I can think of is moderate freeway noise if you're near the front of the park. Paved sites with landscaping, swimming pool, hot tub, basketball court, playground, WiFi internet, great rec room, etc, etc... All of this was topped with excellent management staff. I stayed here a week, and would be happy to stay a month: will certainly return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

After extensive review we decided to stay at this park enroute to AZ. On checkin we agreed on an executive site as it had a live phone hook up and cable. We then made our way through the maze of vehicles parked in the roadway to our assigned
site to find some one else in it. Another drive through the maze back to the office. We were given another site only it was a back in site. After manuvering I finally got into the site and found I would need an extension ladder to get into my 5er. Back to the office where I was given another pull through and after driving to it there sat a $75K MDT in my spot. Well I wasn't going back to the office again so I set down on the horn. About 5 min. later here came the wicked witch of the west to move the truck, all the time wishing I was elsewhere. And after all the park was not all it was supposed to be ie, pot holes, unmowed grass, rocks used as sewer caps and no room between trailers. I would rate this park a 1 except that through all this the clerks were civil. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for the Balloon Festival as it was within a couple miles of the event. As mentioned in previous reviews, this park is completely gravel and when I say gravel, I mean lots and lots of gravel. It rained one of the nights we were there and our jacks sunk into the gravel and caused the RV to lean. There was no grass anywhere for our little dog. They have speed bumps everywhere and one was so large our jacks dragged on it. This was one of the worst parks we've stayed at. The rate of $69 was the Balloon Festival price and completely ridiculous. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed the month of Oct. The owner put nothing back in to the park. Sewer gets backed up every week. Restrooms need updating,spa and sauna not working. People come in with their rigs and bring three or four cars with them. They park any where they want. The only good thing going for the owner are the two maintenance guys:Macho and Bob.

TL Directory gave this RV park a 6.5 for an attractiveness rating. I don't believe that their staff has been to this park for quite a while. We stayed here based only on its central location. When we called to make reservations, we were not told that the usual road to the RV park was under construction and closed. It was quite a feat to get to the park. Most of the park's inhabitants seemed to be long-term folks and many of the RVs were very rundown and crummy with junk outide of their RVs. The park grounds were loaded with dog excrement. Most of the hook-ups were side-by-sides which meant you were very close on one side to your neighbor. The sites were gravel with a paved patio but no picnic table was provided. The interior roads were mostly graveled and not paved as TL Directory stated. We felt like we were in a trashy mobile home park. The pool was closed for some unknown reason and the hottub was available only in the winter. The park is located in a very shakey part of Albuquerque with empty lots with junk in them and rundown buildings and shacks. We just kept our shades closed with the air conditioner running so we did not have to look out the window. Their is no view!!! This RV park needs a lot of TLC. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This a mobile home community with some sites available to RVs. LONG (apx 1 hr) check-in procedure w/14-page legal-size 30 day lease, over 30 would require credit report so we did 30 & then "renewed" for second 30 & the for additional 11 days. Utilities not configured for RV, water & sewer poorly located, natural gas connection in way of back-in (we parked on concrete patio instead of on dirt beside it). Water hydrant in hole in ground (would have been under RV). 3" sewer pipe non-standard for RV connection (would have been behind RV). Large round hole where electric used to be underground would have been under RV. Sloped 2ft or more to rear. Lots of red ants. Mail via USPS, but took nearly 3 weeks to get mail box key. Most rules are commonly broken: 1 pet limit, barking dogs, dogs running loose, firecrackers, 2 car limit but up to 7 cars at some sites. Free WIFI available only in clubhouse. Observed police action in park 3 times plus private security 2 times during 10 week stay. On checkout were told est 4-6 weeks to get remaining portion of deposit back after final electric reading. In midst of all their RV-unfriendly "stuff," they had a very supportive staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

El Rancho is a very nice Mobile Home Park. It is an oasis in the desert with many trees lining its winding streets. Many of the lots have little picket fences and look quite nice. There is a wall around the park which helps isolate it from the surrounding area. El Rancho is not an RV Park so don't expect public showers and toilets and things of that nature. It's a Mobile Home Park. There are only a couple of RV spots available. The spots are not pull throughs, but the guys who work at El Rancho are super nice and will get you into your spot. We arrived after hours and they spent at least an hour helping us and even came back the next morning to make sure we were okay. They got our power stepped down from 50 to 30 amp, our water hooked up, our LP gas was empty and they helped us with that. They even fixed our door which had jammed. I am so thankful that we stopped here. It made the whole rest of our trip that much better. The people that you meet on your travels can really make your trip. These two special people at the El Rancho Mobile Home Park made our trip a much more pleasant experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park located in BAD neighborhood. Lots of pedestrian traffic outside park late at night. Beggars knocked on my door at 6 am, there is no security personnel in park. Police sirens wailing every 2 hours, loud bass bumps from street traffic, foul, cursing neighbors in mobile home park across brick/barb wire wall. Neighbors in 5th wheel asked if I had an electric spike like they did?!? No laundry or bathhouse onsite & local laundromats overrun with grubby kids. Management reports owner will not pay for grounds kept up, so manager tries to pass that cost on to residents. Sites overrun with ants and tree debris. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very much enjoyed my month at this park. Lots of trees and green grass, the staff and the people in the park are friendly and helpful. It's situated one block off a main avenue (Historic Route 66) but sits back in a nice neighborhood. Central Ave (Route 66) is coming back strong. There is a lot of new growth all up and down the boulevard and I like the fact that there is convenient shopping with a selection of new and established restaurants close by. The park is clean with gravel sites and concrete pads. I will definitely be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a mobile home park for local residents or renters that has RV spaces. Main reason to stay here is convenient location to the city and Expo center, but the surrounding commercial area is rundown. Don't be surprised to hear sirens. Park interior has many nice shade trees and grass + gravel sites, but they are difficult to back into. Roads are narrow and have numerous parked cars in the way, but a very nice guy does an expert job of guiding. Watch out for the high speed bumps when walking around at night. There are NO bathrooms, NO showers, NO laundry so this place never deserves a high rating. It's not even a true RV park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you're looking for all the frills this is not the place, but if you're looking for good folks, trees, shade and grass it is. This is a mobile home park in transit to an RV park. The place is clean and neat as a pin, the roads are adequate and the site size will fit most any rig. The other guests will assist you in backing in and setting up if the hosts are busy. The express bus stop [$.35 for Seniors] to downtown and Old Town is 1/2 block away. Many restaurants and small shops are within walking distance. We highly recommend this operation as the people are great and more importantly the hosts actually enjoy their job. We will return frequently. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stayed a couple months in 2006 returned in September 2007. Nice, quiet, secure and very clean park. Manager and staff were friendly and helpful. Large spaces had patio, grass yard and wasn't dusty like parks on the west side of town. Was able to get 4 bars on the Wi-Fi signal. When we stayed for a couple months the yard was taken care of by the park. Since the rent was so cheap we just paid the maintenance man twenty bucks a month to water and mow it when whew stayed for a year. Didn't have to move out during the balloon fiesta. Managers keep a good eye on the place and tenants, don't allow noise, make sure pets are picked up after and don't allow kids to run all over the place. For us older folks it was a great location to where all we needed to go. We'll be returning in August. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is mostly used by their permanent residents, but they have several spots available for rv'ers. No shower; no bathroom; no laundry. The neighborhood is quite noisy, as two major streets run down two sides of the half-block-square area. I think there are around 80 spots total. At night, however, it's quiet enough for a good, sound sleep. Long-term visitors (over one month) are expected to water/mow their grass. I found the managers to be very friendly and helpful, and their handyman is a delight - very helpful and accommodating. The single most attractive thing about the place is its proximity to everything - you can get just about anywhere in the city in around 20 minutes! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is well maintained. Lots of trees. Quiet and safe even though it is located in a high crime area. Good sized spaces. Some have grass which you are expected to water and cut. Many permanent residences. Management is unfriendly and un-accommodating. We almost didn't go there because we were made to feel unwelcome but once we went in we were there for a year. Management nickel and dimes everything. Charges extra for an indoor pet, extra car, not mowing your grass, etc. Parking is sparse. Water may be shut off without notice. They claim to have WiFi but it is totally useless since it doesn't reach 50 feet from the office. Management knows but won't spend the money to fix it. $100 discount for 6 mo lease. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The PA rate for 2 nights was $15; the Good Sam rate after that was $26. There is nothing fancy about this park, but it`s open, clean and the staff is very friendly. It`s right off I-40, but far enough away that the traffic noise is light. There is Wi-Fi in the park, but it gets overlaoded very quickly, even with the park half empty. We`d definitely return.

The rate quoted was for a 50 amp site with a half-price CCUSA discount. The park has easy big rig access and adequate amenities. We purchased propane while there and enjoyed the terrific customer service of the on-site pickup and delivery service. While adjacent to the interstate, we were not bothered by road noise.

This is a typical RV park for the west. Not too much green space and minimal landscaping. We were there in January so we were not surprised at all and this was not a negative. The sites are alternate facing so each motor home in a row will face the opposite direction. This means that you will share electric and sewer on one side with your neighbor and you will also have your canopy and doors facing each other. The park was not crowded when we were there so this was not a problem with us but if it was during a time of year when I would want to sit outside, it does provide little privacy. If you are traveling with another coach, this could be an ideal situation to interact with each other. The staff is very friendly and they accept all of the usual discounts including PA, which we used. We have stayed here before and will again when we are in the Albuquerque area.

We stayed here before and returned, hoping to have same pleasant experience. Unfortunately, some personnel changes occurred and we did not experience the same friendly service with one of the office managers as we did before. The other manager is great. Pull-throughs are easy to navigate, but all are dirt and gravel and ours was not very level. Services are fine, but it was difficult to stay connected to the wi-fi, even though it is setup with several log-on sites. The person who runs their support shop provides GREAT service; which includes windshield repair and satellite support. There is some freeway noise, but not enough to keep you up all night.

Dirt/mud at the site, there should at least be gravel. There were big ruts from where the guy before us apparently got stuck - don't know why these weren't smoothed out before we got there. Several cluttered long-term sites. Nice to have propane/windshield repair/newspaper shop inside the park. Wi-fi signal was good, however the internet connection was lost on a weekend day and not recovered until the next day. Hookups were good, no cable, but we could get 5 good channels off the air.

We are in Albuquerque at least once a year and stay here using CampClub USA and regular rates. They have always be very cordial and nice. The sites are pull through, easy to get into with the fifth wheel and fairly level. The bathrooms and showers are clean. The wifi strength has improved to an excellent level for the last couple times we were there. We have used the swimming pool and spa on several occasions and it is always clean. The accessibility of propane, newspaper among other services from the vendor on the property is a plus, I have seen him remove and replace tanks for people who need a little help. The fact that Camping World is close enough to walk to it is nice too. We have stayed here repeatedly and will continue in the future! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

For what we wanted, this park was fine. We were just there to visit with friends who live in Albuquerque and were only there in the evening. The price was right as Coast to Coast Members; Enchanted Trails is a Good Neighbor Park with that organization. The sites are rough, not terribly level; picnic tables are old and not in great condition. If you are looking for a "destination" RV Park, with lots to do, this is not the park for you. For a place to stay while you see the sights in and around Albuquerque, it serves the purpose well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Shore Services: 50amp. Sewer was good and water was @ 40 psi. Had good AT&T cell phone reception, but no cable TV. Sites and roads are heavy gravel. Did not use the restrooms or laundry. Directv satellite had a good signal. Park discounts for Passport America and Good Sams. Paid with a credit card. This is big park with a lot of gravel: some places the gravel was very deep. Sites are not laid out in a good manner. I was not sure how to go into my site. I almost ran over the sewer. This is not a terrible place but it is not a great place either. If I came here again with all the available parks I would go to the American RV Park across the freeway. For the price as a Passport America campground it would be ok for a night or two.

This campground was in a good place for our route, but that is about the only reason we stayed there. The gravel roads were so soft and deep I almost had to put the dually in 4-wheel drive to get to the site. The site face opposite directions, so you share utility hook ups with another unit, and our neighbor was so close to the hook-ups and had off-door side slide, that we were unable to extend our rear-most off-door side slide for fear of hitting there bedroom slide. There was no designated pet area and it was hard to walk across the soft gravel to get to the dumpsters. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This place is a very neat, a cool throw back to the 1950's and you have to appreciate that. It has the classic feel of a Route 66 kind of place; you can feel the old history here. Not a ton of shade tress but everything is clean, and thank god the owners are not gestapo types like one other place we were in Arizona. This place is busy because it is off of I-40 (old Route 66). We would come again for sure. We paid $24 per night which I thought to be a fair price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an okay stop for the night. There seem to be a lot of seasonals. They leave for work beginning at 5:00 A.M., and you hear them all as they drive out on the gravel roads. We were put next to a seasonal. When he came home he parked his car between our rig and his fifth wheel making it impossible for us to get out until he left again. Thankfully, he was one of the early people to leave the park. He found it necessary to slam the door of the fifth wheel and his car when he left. There is no cable, and the 5 or 6 TV channels don't come in. There is one channel that speaks all Spanish that comes in pretty well. Our rate is a Camp Club rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We love Enchanted Trails. We have camped there in our Motorhome every year for the past 4 years and once in June of 2000. They have a nice laundry, nice game room, cable TV hook up and is next door to Camping World. The casino located at the next exit is good for a meal and some down time. We always enjoy seeing the Tear Drops that are there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground was very quiet and clean. We enjoyed our stay. It's right next door to Camping World and just down the road from a really nice casino. The rate is using our passport card. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Be sure to go up the Turquoise Trail, then to the Sandia Crest. Beautiful... And don,t forget the Sandia Tram, longest in the world. Amazing...This is a Passport Park...

This is a nice park which is very close to Albuquerque's attractions and has easy access to the interstate. Yes, the ground is a bit dusty; but that is not a big disadvantage. The hookups were all very close and connecting was easy. Be sure to check out Petroglyph National Monument (very close by) and Albuquerque's Old Town while you are there. They are both definitely worth seeing. There is also an RV repairman on site and next door is Camping World if you need supplies. The price reflects the Camp Club USA discount. I will definitely stay here again if I am in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park with large pull-throughs. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Sites are hard packed dirt and I wouldn't want to be here during the rainy season. Restrooms are clean and well maintained. Far enough from the Interstate that noise wasn't much of a problem. Some previous dog walkers were not very considerate, but that's a personal problem and the park can't control that.

I was up at the north end of the park and the septic tank covers were beside the coach. The smell was unpleasant. The folks were very nice and friendly. One big plus is that this place is next to "Camping World." You can drop off your coach for work and walk back to the Enchanted Trails recreation room (With a Pool Table) and watch TV until repairs are done. Wi-Fi is like most parks who advertise W-iFi. It is very weak and very sporadic. However Verizon 3G works very well out there with excellent broadband if you vave a Verizon USB or card. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is located in the middle of a desert and that's why it's very dusty. They have some nice old cars on the property and sort of a museum inside also. Three Hollywood movies have partly been filmed at their location. The sites were level but you can't really get any shade. Wifi didn't work on all their access points but eventually we got one good connection. If you want that one, ask for a space near the office. The restrooms were clean. We would stay here again for an overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has a post-WWII theme with vintage RVs and Hudson cars up front. While somewhat old, the facilities are well taken care of and clean. The sites and roads are just heavy sand, as it's a desert climate. Not a problem unless the winds are high. We stayed for a week at $126 and then added a day. The helpful office person calculated a prorated rate of only $19 for the extra day. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We've stayed here twice now, both for a month at a time. Staff is super-friendly. Mostly level parking, hookups are good. Many of the surrounding parks do not have trees. However, when the high desert wind blows the park turns into a dust bowl. The long-term residents are very friendly. The facilities are older, and not by any means meticulously cared for. They have an on-site RV supply/Propane serviceman who is extremely nice and will help you with whatever you need. It is relatively close to the highway (I-40) so you do get quite a bit of road noise. Definitely a good choice over American RV park across the freeway, which is outrageously overpriced. Just don't shower while anyone is doing laundry! (Big time water pressure/temperature fluctuation.) Plenty of room in between sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A pretty good park, was a great home for the 3 months plus that I stayed there. My neighbor had been there for 10 years. Was relegated to long term area, where it was more cramped, but it was fine. Had a minor hiccup w/ the power box, but it was repaired quickly. This web-site said it had CATV, but when I inquired at the office, they asked where did I ever get such a silly idea. Was lucky and didn't have to vacate my site for the Balloon Fiesta (as was told I might when I booked the place). Yeah, book very early for anywhere in that area for the first two weeks of October. Zero landscaping and southwest desert made for lots of blowing sand and silt invading EVERYWHERE in camper. The management was very helpful and friendly. They went on a sprucing-up binge right before Fiesta time and made the place look very nice, though the phrase "silk purse and sow's ear" sprang to mind. Suffered minor damage in hail storm (cant blame them) but the very frequent winds did make me happy to leave. Hope to vacation there sometime to have more time to see the balloons. WI-FI didn't work well at my end of park, but my PC's air card worked fine. No CATV is why I now own a Sat system. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for 1 night last year. Wasn't the best experience but not the worst. This year we needed a park near Freightliner to have our Allison's transmission fluid changed. This park may be out in the desert but there's no reason the owners can't put gravel down for the comfort of their guests. It was impossible to sit outside without getting a mouthful of dust every time someone drove by and we sank into the talcum powder dirt when walking around. It was impossible to keep the dirt out of our coach. Glad we were able to use our Passport America here as I would have hated to spend $33.00 a night to park in a dust bowl!! We won't be back!!

The staff was friendly and helpful. However, you are camped on top of 9 mile hill on a mesa on the west side of Albuquerque. The wind blows really hard up there and it is right next to I-40 which can be noisy if you get a spot on the end. Very few sites had any real shade.

Our rate is an average between a non discounted day after Balloon Fiesta rate & a PA rate for the second night. A resort it is not, however the pool looked very clean & the staff are most accommodating. There is not a blade of grass to be seen but in NM where the rainfall is 15" water should not be used just to make a place look pretty. Desert is desert. Highway noise is no big issue. The only problem was the 120V circuit breaker kicking out a few times first thing in the morning. Everyone must have put the coffee makers on together. Would stay again without hesitation.

Visited park in 40' motorhome with toad. If you are looking for a dirt parking lot with utilities in a desert setting you will love this place. The staff was friendly. Park has small store and a swimming pool which was closed. As you enter park you leave blacktop into dirt. Our assigned site was very rutted from previous users which made leveling difficult. Site was long enough and wide enough to accomodate us. Site had no table. Park is VERY dusty. Parking in roadways caused difficulty in maneuvering a big rig through park.

This is a good park in a good location. Although it is very near I-40, we did not notice a lot of road noise. It is beside a Camping World and is a PA and Good Sam Park. The price we paid is averaged out for 2 days under PA and one under Good Sam. We found Vickie (in the office) to be very friendly and helpful. All sites are dirt, but wide. We can see where the dust might really blow if it is windy, but not a problem when we stayed here. The wi-fi (free) was o.k.

It was extremely windy for 2 days... and there is no protection from the wind... the sites have connections for 2 RVs at one location.. makes for very wide space curbside and close together on driver side... easy wide gravel interior roads..

We regularly stay here on an overnight basis only while travelling through on I-40. A "Resort" it certainly isn't, or if so a 1/2 star resort, but using the Passport America rate for an overnight stay, it can't be beat. Pull through sites with full hookups and 50 smp service for less than $15 lets you put up with a little road noise from I-40. Again, it's not a destination park, but we've paid a lot more for a lot worse as far as an overnight stop is concerned. We definitely will stop there again, and I know what to expect, a reasonable full hookup overnight, nothing else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park, typical of SW campgrounds. Staff is very helpful. The facilities are clean and convenient. The only drawback is the freeway noise, which is noticeable but not too bad. On the other hand freeway access is a breeze! We paid $25 per night and there is a $110 + electric weekly rate available. This park is about 8 miles west of downtown Albuquerque but makes a great spot to stay to see the sights. No cable TV but over air reception is good. Pay Wi-Fi is available.

We've stayed here several times and find it a reasonably priced park (weekly rates available) and convenient for doing the Albuquerque area. This would probably not be a great park for families as there are no playgrounds, pools, etc. and most campers appear to be adults, many of them working in the area. Nice laundry facilities and dog walking areas. Sites are level with excellent utilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Can't beat the price (30 amp price) and the location. With wind and thunderstorm the day we pulled in, we were thankful for the paved roads and gravels sites. No dust/mud problems. Large picnic tables at each site, but most had badly warped boards. Still usable since there were just three of us, but it appears they were built with untreated lumber. Good spacing between sites. Nice restrooms/showers/lounge. Only negatives were no cable TV, Wi-Fi, and some really large weeds among the sites. Was a convenient and quiet location and we would happily stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Have stayed here many times and love the staff and ease of park. We don't need a lot of frills and like the big wide sites. Have learned to use Central Avenue to get to shopping and other places. We feel at home when we stop here on our way between pestering our kids. Will always return We camped here in a Motorhome.

Can you believe it? Full hook-up sites for $18.75 a night! However our site was more than 3 inches off level, so we had to use the ramp. Big, paved driveways to gravel sites. Must be a new park as the trees are fairly small. About a half mile from Camping World, across I-40. This park is next to I-40 so there is highway noise. There are two other fancier parks near by, with more trees, but this one was fine for a one night stay. Some old units parked in the rear (monthly rentals?)Three big pet areas where they can be off the leash and pick-up tools and trash barrels at each one. Office is open until eight p.m. so late arrivals have no problem registering. I bet this one wouldn't be as expensive to use during the balloon festival in the fall. Nice new community building. WiFi for a fee. Ten miles west of Albuquerque. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is convenient to I-40 but the access is very confusing. Access is adequate for big rigs, but some difficult maneuvering may be required to exit the rows. A roomy fenced dog run was available but typical of several desert locations, had not a blade of grass. We would stay again for an overnight stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has paved roads and gravel sites. It was extremly windy during our 3 day stay and there was some blowing leaves and little dust, a plus out on the west mesa. There is no cable TV. The pay wifi worked OK but had slowdown issues. This is a well maintained, good place to stay and is cost effective for a 50 amp full hookup site. We would stay here again.

Clean and well kept campground just west of city of ABQ. Large pull thru sites and wide easily navigable interior roads. Cleanest and nicest bathrooms and showers I've ever seen. Pleasant office staff. Nice fenced dog runs. Not a destination campground, but good for an overnight, or as a home base to explore the area. Reasonable rates. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here a week while seeing the area. Amy in office very nice. Very windy while here. Sites barely fit our 40 ft mh and toad. Sites are dirt and gravel. Benches are warped out from the sun. Many long term residents here, but no problem with them. Most seem to be working. One long-termer had 4 kids riding their bikes up and down streets so have to look at all times to see where they are.Roads fairly narrow to get into space. Would stay here again when in the area.

This park is small but very nice and the owners are building a new office. We stayed just one night but found it very nice. WiFi costs $4.95 for 24 hrs, found it the only draw back as most parks offer it free now. Would stay here again on our way through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a quiet adult RV park, away from the city. Well managed. Most sites are permanent or long term residents. We were here for 3 months to explore the area on day trips. Sites are very spacious level gravel, while the roadways are paved. This is the high desert, so expect wind at times, and dust. Views are spectacular. We will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Basic overnight type park. Keeping in mind it is in the "high desert", it's OK. Close to I-40, there is highway noise. It was clean, with up-to-date hook-ups, easy in/out. They had some small trees, but no shade. The office was in a portable building, but they are building a new one. They have no directional signs, office clerk said boss didn't want one, but they were pretty full. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park with large level gravel pad. Gravel patio with picnic table that needed repair to replace warped boards rendering it unusable. Paved streets. Three large fenced dog runs! Friendly excellent management. One big negative is the sewer stench that permeates the park when the wind blows from the south, which is most days. Priced right versus other local parks.

This is a friendly, no frills park. We paid $17.45 a night for a 30 amp full hookup site with Good Sam discount. The management is very friendly and efficient. The roads are paved and the sites are gravel. There is virtually no shade and landscaping is minimal. The toilets, showers and laundromat are in good condition. A pay WiFi service is available through NomadISP. We signed up for a week at $12.95. Daily and monthly rates are also available. We were even given a toll free number to the provider in case questions arose. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

For the price, this RV Park is a bargain. Although its location atop a hill guarantees winds, the interior roads are paved & cuts down on dirt blowing. Sites are gravel, relatively level, long & roomy. They are constructing a new Office, store, & Rec. Rm. Staff were pleasant & efficient. WiFi was available. Propane service was available so we topped off before checking out. The price was $2.18 when we got there and $2.27 when we left - not bad, considering we've paid much higher! All in all, we felt we got a good value & would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rate we paid was for 13 days including electric which they charge extra for if you are on their weekly rate. Excellent relatively new RV park - wide, level sites, no trees. Very good manager. Only negatives for us were washing rig/toad not allowed; noise (24-hrs-a-day trucks/traffic on nearby I-40); and smell of septic field at the rear of park. RV park is located on top of mesa and is very exposed. If it's windy - it's really windy!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice stop-over RV park. Gravel& level sites have all the basics, low price, and a desert view. There is no sign at the frontage road, but you can just follow the signs for the American RV Park which is next door. The sign in front of the park is small so that people will think it is American RV and pull in and find out they can stay here for half the price. They have three, enclosed, dog runs, but nothing to keep kids entertained. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We never got to stay here. We called a week ahead to reserve a week. The first two times we called the person answering the phone couldn't help us; finally a lady took our information. When we arrived she said we were only reserved for one night and made no adjustments for us. We went across the freeway to Enchanted Hills CG. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed one month, rate reflects this. No cable available, over air signal was not strong and wireless is extra. Large, easy access sites. Occasional highway noise, but aircraft noise was low and seldom noticed. Only real negative was smell from the sewage system at our site near the back of the park. Dog piles in areas outside the park, watch your step, but dog areas were well kept. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We spent two nights here during the Balloon Fiesta. Had to make reservations back in July. The RV park was packed with over fifty percent being seasonal and the rest being overnighters. The pull-through sites were large, gravel and mostly level. The electrical power and water pressure were good. Cable TV was out though. Roads were paved. Very nice pet area. My only gripe about The High Desert RV Park was the location. I-40 runs nearby and the road noise was noticeable, but the biggest problem for me was the airplanes. Right in the path of the airport in Albuquerque. It did seem to quit after midnight. Staff was friendly. If we go again to the Balloon Fiesta, would stay at the grounds were they launch the balloons. Not as nice, but don't have to deal with the traffic and airplanes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We arrived after dark and the office was closed, so we followed the directions on the office sign which said to pick a spot and pay in the morning. Sites were gravel and nicely level, and we didn't have any trouble pulling through. Since we were staying overnight only, we didn't have time to check out anything other than the dumpster (yay, not overflowing) and the laundry/restrooms area. It took a bit to I.D. the restrooms as such...they look like little private cabins, since they are raised well above the ground and have cute names on their doors. Each proved to be a private, self-contained powder room with shower...a much appreciated change from the usual group showers/toilets. The steps, ramp, and deck area (even the railings) around the restrooms and laundry have non-slip surfaces applied to the wood. Only complaint was the fact that the office was still closed when we left early in the a.m. and, as there were no rates posted, we weren't sure how much we owed! We simply went with the price as noted in the previous review and deposited it in the night box before going on our way. The rest of the trip, however, we wondered if we paid too much (or too little). We would overnight here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent the night at High Desert RV Park en route from Arizona to Missouri, largely based on the good review of this park against the mediocre reports of the other RV parks nearby. (Also, we wanted to avoid staying in Gallup!) We weren't
disappointed. Although close to I-40, highway noise was not noticeable. That's because it is topographically lower than I-40, and the office facilities act as sound breaks. Dog facilities are very nice, but there's no grass (this IS the desert, after all). Sites are gravel. There are some long term residents, but they sre in a separate area. The staff is very helpful. You will need to know the length of your rig when you check in, so you can be placed in a space that's big enough. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park had only been open for about 2 weeks when we stayed there in November. It is located right next to American RV Park, and promises to be a very nice addition to a somewhat limited selection of parks in the Albuquerque area. Sites are spacious, level and well designed. Landscaping is young, but should be quite nice in a year or two. Excellent dog facilities!! The staff was very friendly and helpful in familiarizing us with the Albuquerque area. We will definitely stay there again, and look forward to seeing the park mature. We camped here in a camper.

We had bad vibes when we reserved a spot but came here anyway. Lady who took reservation was obviously new and asked the same questions over and over. They required the full amount of our one-day stay in advance with the reservation and quickly charged it to our card before our visit. When we arrived the site they had given us had been purposely given to another party who could stay longer, so we were given a much less desireable site near the office. The park is adequately maintained but showing its age with many permanent residents. Management is definitely lacking. This park is okay for a night, but we wouldn't stay there again unless a last resort. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Appears to be a former KOA (A-frame office) with mostly permanent residents in the relatively shady inner part of the park. There was a site available there, but it had tree issues (we're over 13 feet tall) so we opted for one of the pull-throughs in front that seem to be used for short stays. These are level dirt sites with full hookups (30 amps) overlooking an auto repair yard, with no trees whatsoever (and facing west). Probably around 45 feet long. There is a tent site adjacent to the front pull-throughs, in a small grassy area with lots of shade. Park is adequate for overnight or for a few days while visiting the area. It is at the end of the Central Avenue bus line, if public transportation is necessary. The RV parks farther west aren't on the bus line. $24.38 rate includes 10% Good Sam discount and 13.88% tax. This is what they quoted on the phone, but they didn't (but should) say it includes tax because it's pretty high. We camped here in a Motorhome.
