We camped here for one night while passing through. We called 2 hours prior to arrival to check availability for a Passport America rate. We also stated where we were and our estimated arrival time. The owner/operator stated they had sites available and confirmed the rate. When we arrived all was well and owners nice. However, after collecting our money and once we were parked the owner began to coach us on traveler's etiquette telling us we should be more courteous and arrive at the park earlier, before dark. We arrived at 6 pm. Had we not already paid and parked we would have taken our business elsewhere. We won't stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice for an overnight stay, definitely not fancy. There is not much shade. It is right on main thoroughfare (old 66), so there is a little road noise. It is almost next door to Kiva RV Park, but Kiva caters more to permanent residents while Cactus is more for travelers. We would stay here again if passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is strictly no frills but good for an overnight stop. It is fairly close to the highway but far enough away so there is no noise. The park is in front of an old run down motel. Streets are wide and sites are long and wide. The entire park is gravel. The price includes cable TV that was fair and Wi-Fi that worked well at our site. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stopped here overnight and would do it again. It is a really basic campground, but you have easy pull thru, large sites, cable TV and free wifi. There are lots of older buildings around, but who cares, great place to overnight and so reasonable priced with passport. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice basic park with LEVEL sites. If you get here early you can get a shady spot. The Wi-Fi works great and the cable TV is good with a lot of channels. Long pull throughs so you don't need to unhook. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice place to stop if visiting Tucumcari NM. Most of the facilities in Tucumcari, along historic Route 66, are tired and in need of repair. This park is fairly large and away from highway noise. No toilets or showers or laundry. Wi-Fi is free and quite good. Owner was very friendly and escorted us to the appropriate site. Would probably stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Quintessential desert atmosphere with sandy, flat,terrain and a terrific peaceful calmness .. appropriate to desert locales. Simple but fully functional, with exception of having no washroom facilities. Great stop for self contained units ! Owners non-intrusive, pleasant & relaxed. This, from a longtime motorhome (40') dweller who says good things about very few RV parks due to so many parks being overly organized & regulated etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The nightly rate reflects the Passport America rate for a 50 amp full hookup site which includes cable and wi-fi. We didn't use the cable, but the wi-fi worked great. There are no rest rooms, showers or laundry but we wouldn't have used them anyway. This is the only reason I rated this park a '9'. There was no pool, but for the price, wouldn't have expected one. The sites are long, level gravel pull-throughs and would accommodate any RV; and, there's no need to unhook the 'toad' or tow vehicle. The man who checked us in was very friendly and personally escorted us to our site, explained all the hook ups and asked if there was anything else we needed. The park is very neat and clean. Some spaces have shade trees; however, most are open with a clear southern view for satellite. The adjacent run down motel is reminiscent of the old Route 66 motels, but we didn't find it to be a detraction to our stay. Del's Restaurant, which is within walking distance of the park, has excellent food. We stayed here several days and would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The nightly rate reflects the Passport America rate for 30 amp. This is one of the best PA campgrounds we have stayed in. What a value with cable and Wi-Fi included! The young man who checked us in was very gracious. For being on old Route 66, there was very little road noise. The sites were great pull-throughs so we didn't have to unhook the toad. Nice evergreens between the sites toward the front of the campground. Sites are level gravel. The "run-down" motel that is not in use was reminiscent of days gone by. We did not find it a detraction. This campground has no amenities like a pool or clubhouse, but those are not important to us. We were very happy with our accommodation's. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place looks run down but is perfect for an overnite stop. It has good 50 amp electric and long pull throughs and is very quiet. The staff is friendly and will escort you to your site and explain the hookups. I would have rated it higher if it wasn't for the appearance. I would stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an older campground, but very clean. Sites are pull thru and level. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were escorted to our site and had all amenities explained to us. There are no restrooms or laundry, but we didn't need the services. It is walking distance to restaurants and stores. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Owner is very friendly. Nice park for overnight or a few days. Handled our big 70' 5th wheel and Volvo truck well. Passport America. This is our type park since we never use the facilities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice owner manager takes you to your site. Good overnight stop. Free wireless internet in your rig. Free cable TV. Large pull thru sites with full hookups. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good overnight spot. Friendly owner who shows you to a site. Long gravel sites that are pull thru. Good 50 amp power and water. Good sewer dump. Would stay here again when passing thru. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The rate is a Passport America rate. This is good overnight stay park. No restroom or showers are provided, but sewer hookups are available. The gravel sites are level. Most sites are pull through. Restaurants are within walking distance so we did not need to unhook the car. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice owner. Good power and water. He led me to a nice pull thru. I was lucky and got their early and got a site with grass. Most are dirt with little gravel. Park has no bath facilities and is for fully contained units only. Good overnight stop. Will stop again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very inexpensive park with great hook-ups and lots of space. Easy to get in and out. The owner was very helpful. WiFi worked perfect. Although the park is run down, it seems that a lot of remodeling is being done. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great overnight park, since there isn't much shakin' in Tucomcari since the new highway bypassed the town. Used a Passport rate and this is a great deal! Very wide sites, just drive in and leave the toad hooked up...easy out in the AM. A low-budget place but the owner is very nice and helpful. The restaurant next door appears to be the best in town and has great New Mexican food as well as a typical family food menu. Would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I'm uprating my first opinion of this campground. It is an interesting place considering it's prior use an old Route 66 motel. The main part of the park is the old parking lot of the motel, but, there are other sites back in the back and sides. The place was vitually full both nights we stayed there. The sites are large with full hookups and wi-fi that worked when it was on. For some reason, it is turned off part of the time. There is a good restaurant about 100 feet away, Del's restaurant. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy in and out; owner very helpful. Wi-Fi signal good, although Wi-Fi only available for a few hours in the morning and evening. Interesting area and both T-Mobile and VZN wireless signals were good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This had to be "Cactus Motor Court" on Route 66 in the heyday of that road. Sandstone "rooms" form a U but they don't appear to be in use anymore and the court is now filled in with gravel and pull through sites. Easy in and out, full hook ups, cable (though our neighbor took our slot but we got good TV with our antenna) and the WiFi didn't work at all. Walking distance to a nice restaurant and for the PA price, not a bad deal. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is in an old motel lot. The manager/caretaker led us to our site. The site was very nice, with trees protecting both sides, but not hanging over the rig or preventing satellite from working. Good hook-ups (50amp) and WiFi. We walked to a near by restaurant for a very good meal. Nostalgic Route 66 atmosphere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Basic, but clean. Good hookups - no problems. Saved $2 with KOA card, added cable for $1. Gravel sites, good wifi signal. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We've stayed at this KOA many times. The managers are very nice. One year, after our tent was blown down in a storm and everything was soaked, they let us stay in an unused mobile home on the property. They even offered us bedding and towels. You can't get much better customer service than that! We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Great overnight stop. Able to stay hitched up. Good WiFi. Sites have grass and trees. Staff is friendly and helpful. No restrooms or showers. On old Route 66, away from Interstate noise. Have stayed here several times. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Good overnight stop. While the RV park is in an old, "Route 66 era" Motel property, it was clean and appeared to be maintained. Sites were large, long and adequate. From the hookups, it appears that some are side/side. Cable is provided and all you have to do is hook up. Would stay there again on trips. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great overnight park for self contained rigs. There are no restrooms. On old 66 at an old 66 motel that is almost gone. Wi Fi is great and utilities good. Restaurant next door. Easy on and off and no road noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A strange campground built along side and in the courtyard of an abandoned 1940's tourist court on old route 66. OK for an overnight stop. Free Wifi and good utilities. Good price with Passport America. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was OK for a quick overnight. Staff was friendly and sites grassy and shaded. No restrooms or showers that we were aware of. It is fairly quiet but still convenient to I-40 exits. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very nice overnight park, large, level, gravel/grass pull-thru sites. Hookups convenient. Management very friendly. The free wifi was appreciated; it worked very well. Easy in and out as it is on Historic Route 66. The park is cared for as they have planted many evergreen trees out front. We would stop-over here anytime. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is a great overnighter. It is not an RV resort, but very suitable for an overnighter. They have easy access from the I40, great cable TV with over 40 stations. The WI-FI worked great. The sites are large and pull throuhg so you do not need to unhook your tow. You can walk to a nice dinner house. We camped here using Passport America so well worth the cost. We will definitely stop here again when we travel on the I40. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very good overnighter. Excellent hookups, very good CATV, reasonably quiet at night, good strong and reasonably fast WIFI. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good hook-ups including cable. This park is good for an overnight stop. It is convenient to I-40. The park is actually the parking lot of an old Route 66 motel. Nothing fancy, but good hook-ups at a reasonable price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park was ok. Management friendly. Had a problem with high voltage surges & had a rough nights sleep because of that & road noise. Convenient to get to. Probably would pass this one by next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is improving. New electric in place. Owner making effort. Would use as overnite. Some sites too close to major road so get road noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice overnight park--large, level, gravel/grass pull-thru sites. Hookups convenient. Management solititous. Outdoor, protected modem hookup available. Easy walk to Del's for dinner. The park looks like it is cared for as they have planted many everygreen trees out front. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older park that is connected to old route 66 motel. Is located in the older part of town. Facility has declined and needs renewal. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Would only use as a late night stopover. We camped here in a camper.
Conchas Lake has numerous areas to camp. There are 104 developed sites and 41 electric and water sites. The campgrounds are located in various areas of the lake. I believe there’s primitive camping along the shoreline in some areas. The area we stayed in was Bell Point campground which has power and water hookups. Each site has a 3 sided shelter with a picnic table on a concrete slab and a pedestal BBQ near the shelter. It’s very dusty when breezy, interior road is dirt and no one seems to drive slow through the campground. Some sites are closer together then others, some are pull thrus, but most are back ins. ALL sites are on a reservation system which was a pain since there wasn't any cell/internet service there. The gal in the Park Office was nice enough to let me use their phone to make a reservation. If you just need a site for one night and sites are available (the post at each site has a green vacant sign or red occupied sign on them), go to the park office. It’s located further down the main road on the left. There’s a marina with a grocery/tackle shop/lounge/diner. There’s also a phone booth outside which we needed to use since it was Mother’s Day. Weekends are very busy but midweek was quiet. Nice views of the lake and surrounding area. You might want to use your water pump when showering, pressure wasn’t that great. While there we saw people boating, fishing and water skiing. Dump Station is located across from the campground entrance. Make sure you‘re stocked up with food since the closest town is in Tucumcari, which is about 35 miles away. We would stay here again but only midweek. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice little park, but there was only one tree large enough to provide shade. We took that spot, but it was still very hot. This wouldn't be a place you'd want to stay more than one night, but it was nice and cost-effective for a single-night stopover. No showers or restrooms available that we saw, but we use the ones on our rig anyway. Owner was very nice and hospitable, although she wasn't there when we arrived. Easy to check in, find a spot and hook up. Easy access to some cute Route 66 diners. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice staff, constantly improving this campground and always a pleasure to stay here. Park VERY clean including horse facilities. Sites level with tables. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nothing fancy, clean, level sites. All sites are pull-thrus. Good cell phone reception and computer airphone reception (Verizon). Great water pressure, best we've had a park in quite a while. Friendly owner, she greeted us after we got settled in. Far enough off of the 1-40 so it's great for a good nights sleep. Park is located on Route 66 but was quiet at night. Great place for an overnighter. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Looks like this park is being renovated. Lots of minor construction and new parts mixed with older ones. Campground was VERY clean and tidy, personell were extremely accomadating. Also has horse pens for traveling equestrians, very clean and excellent repair. This will be nice park when the trees get a little bigger to provide some shade. Roads and sites were all a well packed gravel and sites were pretty level. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is the first time we have used our Passport America. Tom and son were very helpful and met us and escorted us to our site. Very quiet and ate at a wonderful Mexican Restaurant per Tom's recommendation. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
For an overnight stay this park is fine. Very nice owner & family & as other reviews indicate, don't let the front appearance keep you from stopping. Hookups worked fine and wi-fi offered free. Within walking distance to a couple of restaurants if needed. Price is Passport price. Would definitely stay here again when passing through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The best part of this camping experience was the hospitality! The owner Tom and his sons were really nice and accommodating. Nights at the fish pond were fun. Tom is quite a character, as a matter of fact he is a character actor and appeared in several movies and television series. There is a dinosaur museum and award winning cheese factory nearby. Well worth the trip! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a Passport America park and the price reflects weekly rate. The park is behind an old historic motel and the entrance is through the motel lot. Don't let the appearance of the motel stop you, it is being renovated and looks run-down right now. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Sites are grassy with lots of large shade trees, but still good satellite reception. Cable is offered for an additional $2. Sites are side-by-side and back-to-back, but there were two other large motorhomes there and everyone had plenty of room. There is only one washer and one dryer in the 'laundry room' but it is free. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is owned by a super nice family(new owners)and campground is in transition of upgrades. Grassy areas between sites with some shade trees. Good level sites with good hook ups, plenty of room for big rigs. Quiet and peaceful and a good oasis in between weather patterns. Warm breezy days and cool nights. Community area with pond, gazebo and grill; where each evening owners have gatherings; you can join in with fun and games or just visit with other campers. Nice city park one block over, great for evening strolls or walking your pet. Within walking distance to several restaurants on historic Route 66. Just minutes from downtown Tucumcari; don't miss the murals. We had intended to stay a couple of days but ended up staying three weeks. Easy on off I-40, so a great place for a night or extended stay. We plan on going back next year for an extended stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
New owners recently bought the park and they're doing a lot of improving & fixing up. We enjoyed the nightly gathering (happy hour?) at the "Fish Pond" for a discussion of any topic that came up. The Passport rate included 50A service, cable and Wi-Fi - no extras. We will definitely stay here again the next time we're in the area. Nice quite park. Owner's live on site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is a bit run down - however - the sites are large with good water pressure, good power and cable tv. The owner lives on site and is very friendly and helpful. Good for an overnight stop. The rate we paid was a Passport America rate. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Passport America campground cost is $10 per night. Owner was very nice and helpful. There are lots of barking dogs though. In the older section of town and right next door to the Cactus Rv Park. Good place for an overnighter. No regrets for stopping here. Good clean power and nice hookups in good shape. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is in the middle of town. Its looks run down, but has full hookups. The owner lives in the park. The area we were in was empty and the sites are not very well defined. The area was very delapitated. The washrooms were very old and looked as though they were almost falling down. The light inside was very dim and the shower was tight did not have much pressure. We did not feel comfortable at the park. It is a Passport America participant but we would not stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here one night heading west, and thought enough to stay one night on the way back east. Small park near I-40, but far enough away that the noise is not bothersome. This is a small gravel park with level sites. Decent Wi-Fi, friendly staff. Good stop for overnights. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Adequate park for overnight stop. Good Wifi. This was the fastest checkin I have ever experience. Gave her my GoodSam card and I was registered. Paid and drove to site. There is a new Flying J very close by. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to stay overnight. Staff was nice. Nothing bad to say for an overnight. However, they are lacking in facilities. While it's great they have wifi(I'm using it now), they need cable tv in every spot and a better playground. It can also be loud sometimes with the truck stop nearly across the street. I would stay here again without a question, but only overnight. But then again, most people don't stay for an extended period of time in Tucumcari NM unless they live there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is close to I-40, but no road noise. The Wi-Fi and cable worked great. There are a few trees, but most of them are not very tall. Restrooms, showers, and laundry were very clean. The staff is very friendly. If I stay in Tucumcari, this is the place I will stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The basic rate of $25 is prior to discounts (AAA, Good Sam). The campground is not much to look at. The sites are all hard packed gravel but as it had rained a bit before we arrived we used our jack pads under the jacks. The campground management appears to be a husband/wife or brother/sister and both were pleasant enough. The washrooms and laundry are kept locked but you'll be offered a key at registration. The park looks clean but some maintenance seems to be needed. Our cable-TV connection at the post had obviously been replaced with an above-ground cable running to a splitter at the site next to ours. The result was a very bad cable picture. Not to worry...over-the-air TV signals are strong and clear. We were able to receive the OTA signals with the roof antenna down. The WiFi is free and the signal is strong. But we were in the first row behind the building. Not sure how reception would be in sites farther from the building. A Flying J is just down the street and I was able to use their WiFi signal with no trouble. But again, there were no rigs parked between us and the J. This park is suitable for both overnighting as well as a base camp...as long as the cable-TV is working. The park is very quiet and even though I-40 is just about 3/4 mile away we didn't hear any highway noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just an overnight stop, and only would want to stay overnight. Sites were small and dirt. Said they had internet, but I could not connect. When asked office was told that sometimes when she's full the RVs get in the way of the signal. Friendly office staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great RV park. All sites face NE and shade the camper at the end of the day. Very friendly managers. Very good WiFi. Great place to spend a night or two. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We overnighted here twice on an extended trip. Once on the way out and once on the way back. Although it is a no frills park, I feel it is a great place for an overnight stopover. The lady at registration was very friendly and accommodating. The sites are well defined and easy to get in and out of. We will surely stay here again if we are in that area and in need of a place to stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
At I-40 Exit 333 (NW) down and across from Loves truck Stop. Perfect 1 night stop. Easy to get in and out in the dark. Office was open til 9:00 PM MST. Two of us used this park in October 2005. 1 33’ trailer and 1 MH with toad. 30/50 amp sites, cable tv. 55 to 60 foot PT’s. Good Sam Park. We will stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Not very impressive. Power was very poor, 104 volts on one leg at about 25 amps draw, one roof air kept kicking off. Our water did not work, but we have a holding tank so no biggie. Not well maintained, but adaquate for a night. Easy in and out for our 45' motor home. Better than Walmart I guess. We will try the KOA up the road next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
OK for a one night stop. Easy in and out. Long pull-thru sites. Had no problem with a 54' rig. People on site were very friendly. Stayed one night. Also had friends with a MH also stay there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites are easy to get into and exit. Clean, full hookups, cable TV and friendly hosts. What more could you look for when traveling down the interstate. Not far off the road and a Love's just across the street. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
OK for a couple of days stay. Safe and quiet. Very good washer/dryer setup. Owner very helpful with local info. Tucumcari Historical Museum is worth looking thru. We would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The staff was nice. Campground seemed well kept and the sites were fine. Used as an
overnight stop, but it was pouring rain the whole and really didn't even get outside. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The power in this park was so bad and the owners were hostile if you said anything about it. Everytime a new RV arrival plugged in, the power dropped. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was quiet and very clean. The folks were friendly and courteous. This is a great
overnight stop on the road with easy access and reasonable rates. We would difinitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Have stayed here for two years on the way west. This is a very easy campground to get into and back onto the interstate. It is very clean and the management is extremely friendly and helpful. This isn't an RV resort with swimming pools and game rooms, but it is a very good place to pull in to for the night. In fact, if you had business in the area this would be a good place to stay the entire time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The people that manage this one are real great folks. I had some problems with my truck and they were very helpful. The office is only open from 7 to 9 am and 4 to 8 pm. This is mainly a overrnighter. Loves is right across the road. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I agree about the new owners. I thought it was OK before, but now it is much better. TV is a pain. There are 15 cable stations, but you have to switch to antenna for the networks??? The Wi-Fi is excellent. They now have a modest menu which you can eat at the office, or they deliver to your door. The food was good, and the price was right. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a difference new owners make! Was through here 3 years ago and refused to stay for the junkie trailers, dead trees and and poor condition. I Don't know how KOA ever let remain a franchise. But the new owners have about rebuilt totally one shower/restroom and gutted and redone the other. Now they are spotless. Trees have been replanted and junk is gone. For such close proximity to freeway it was very quiet. The folks that took over are personable, helpful and, rightfully so, take pride in the revitalization of this park. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Pool was not working (looks like it's in the process of being filled in), wi-fi access is extra, basically a good stop for the night. Did have a good playground and guide to take you to your site. They served dinner and breakfast - good food. The night we were there we had a big dust storm - lots of dust and wind (looked like it might actually rain too). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Easy on and off highway yet quite. Extremely clean baths and showers. Pool was being rebuilt during our stay. On the down side, WiFi was with an extra fee and had poor signal strength. For what KOA charges, WiFi needs to be included. Little diner that serves a decent breakfast. Well stocked store. Owners and most staff were very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We pulled in after closing and were greeted at the door by the owner in his cart by the time we filled out the registration form. Helped us get situated and held the lights for us as we conn
