I've used this park for a number of years for a 1 night stop over when traveling through West Texas. The new owners seem to be trying to keep things up but probably will need to keep an eye on things. The sites are all gravel / sand with easy access pull throughs. Not a place for a long term stay but OK for the over night stop. Next time through I will probably try the KOA in town which seems to have more facilities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a delight this park was! The owners bend over backwards to be sure you have everything you need. Our site was good sized, and the trees and bushes were appropriately trimmed back so they would not scratch the coach. The laundry and restrooms were very clean. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Definitely an overnight park only. The owner was very grumpy – but friendly. Men’s bathroom was awful – women’s OK. Very, very low flow shower heads. Our one main problem – there were only two RV’s on our row. One was ours and the other was right next to us. A person from a row behind us decided that he wanted to go to the bathrooms. So, he walked between our site and the camper next to us. He even had to turn sideways to get between our slide out and a tree. He did this as we were still setting up. Person had no concern for us and our privacy or spot. I guess we were just in his way. By the looks of this person’s RV (A Mexican National and several others all living in one small trailer), it would appear that they were long-term residents. I guess that gives them extra privileges. There were plenty of empty spaces on our other side or on the other side of the camper next to us. I guess us overnighters are just an inconvenience to the permanent people. Because of this, we laid awake all night and left very early as we could not sleep. Sites were level but all dirt. Be very careful leaving park as you will scrap your bottom – we watch several do this. I could only get the Wi-Fi to work at 3:00am. Not much in town and pricy for what they offer. Would NOT stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate is with Good Sam discount but the man that checked us in said they would not be a Good Sam park for much longer. The fenced in dog run is full of stickers so watch your pets. The "cable tv" was good but offered only four total channels. The wifi had a terrible signal and we could not get a connection. We stayed only one night so it was not a big deal. Not much within walking distance to this park. It works for a night but we would not want to spend much longer in Van Horn. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Yeah, a good place for a quick overnight at best. A little cramped making the corners tight. Sites were long enough to keep truck hooked to camper. WIFI acted up a little, so I switched to the phone/air card. Place was wedged between the interstate and a railroad, but the price for quick on/off access. CATV, only 4 channels, nothing to brag about. Yeah, only overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This place is good for an overnight stop. For a destination stop don't bother. There is NOTHING in this town. The day we stopped here to wind blew so hard it was like sitting in a dust bowl. The sites are all pull-throughs with little concrete patios with little warped picnic tables but like I said for an overnight stop it's OK. We had no problems at all getting our satellite. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed here numerous times over the years. New owners took over in April are are certainly making headway in improvements. WiFi was great and password is printed on brochure of park. We would like to mention previous complaints regarding those who drive through this (and any park) without first stopping at the "Stop" sign and checking with the office. As guests in parks we most definitely appreciate the security of stopping all who enter a park. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to over night or for a couple days. Easy access off I-10 and exit 138 in Van Horn, Texas. All pull thrus with FHU’s no need to unhook. Free WIFI just ask for network key when checking in. New owners April 10, 2007. Showers, Laundry very clean. Small activity center with tables, games and stage. Nice area for dog walk. Several eateries in walking distance if you don’t want to cook after a long drive or 9 hole Mountain View Golf Course within a mile of the RV park to stretch your legs. We have stayed here in the past and will return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Only stopped for an overnight stay, but would definitely consider CG for longer stay. Owners ere attentive, but based on other reviews definitely concerned about the safety of the people in the campground. It is clear to stop at the office before entering and based on conversation with owner they will jump all over you for not doing so. We will definitely stop here again.

"WHAT THE H*LL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" was the greeting we got from the owners of this park. We stopped in Van Horn due to an ice storm. The first exit we came to had a campground so we went to check it out. My husband stopped our 2005 motorhome by the entrance while I drove in the park in our Lexus SUV to check out the park to make sure it was a safe park for us and our 3 children before registering. We drove in and then on the way back out the owner and her daughter jumped out of nowhere wearing black in front of the SUV scaring us to death. After that disturbing greeting (above), the daughter continued to block us (it appeared she was packing a gun in her pocket)while her mother lectured us on driving past the registration office (the office was dark and closed). This is the Bates Motel of RV parks. Do not even slow down near this park. We ended up staying at the KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good overnight stop on Interstate 10. We've stayed there twice. Gravel sites, with shade when the sun gets low. Everything worked fine, and registration people picked a site for us that would be easy to navigate with a 40-foot motorhome with toad. Spaces are long enough that you don't have to unhook the toad, and Chuy's Mexican restaurant is within walking distance. Play area in front had a basketball goal. It's located away from all the sites, so we could shoot guilt-free hoops because the noise wouldn't bother anybody. We camped here in a Motorhome.

On the contrary to some of the other posts, I would like to say how much my wife and I enjoyed this park. First off, there is a big sign saying, "Please check in at the office". It's very hard to miss that. My wife and I are retired and it was nice to stay at a campground that was concerned with our safety. We stayed for three nights and saw them stop one car. They didn't lock the gate or chase them down, it was more of a wave as they were exiting the grounds. Being in an unfamiliar town it was nice to see someone watching out for their customers. Overall the park was very clean, and it was nice to have some shade in Texas. All the workers were very nice and helpful. We got our dog washed by a nice young lady, and much to my wife's objection had a large piece of cake that the owner baked. (Yum!) We camped here in a Motorhome.

My husband & I wanted to preview this park for future; made the mistake of driving thru with our tow vehicle (without first stopping at the Front Office) & found 2 people blocking our exit; got a stern lecture on trespassing on private property; I had flashbacks of Deliverance but chatted to try to bring down the tension; left with her offer to come back for their "Special" and they're looking for Workampers, too! Sorry, Dear - not even. If we missed out on any other great things about this park, we'll never know because I was scared witless by the welcoming committee! We won't be back with our RV. Stayed with KOA! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stay away from this park. If you want to view the park beforehand I guess you need an invitation because they will stop you at the gate and harass you. There is no wireless internet, The signal is from a hotel next door and of course that is stealing. Limited room to get in and out. All and all a terrible park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Avoid this park! It is hazardous to your safety, and this has nothing to do with park facilities. We drove in with our car to see if it would be better than the park we were in, and without stopping at any time we turned around to leave. As we passed the office three people jumped IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I stopped and a woman stood in front, touching the front bumper, telling me if I moved she was going to "sue for assault". Another person closed and locked the front gate to further prevent us from getting out of the park. The Sheriff was called at my request. The campground filed an assault charge -- and I countered with "unlawful restraint". We were delayed in Van Horn for a court appearance, and finally told by a Sheriff's Deputy to go ahead and "just leave". Besides the aggravation, the safety issue was that if any of the three who jumped in front of my car had a weapon I would have run over them. That would have been a homicide investigation -- for just looking at a campground. Do not patronize this park! In fact, I will never stop in the county (Culberson) again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have camped here twice (the first in 2002)and we enjoyed our stays, very friendly staff and clean park. If you drive by a large sign stating "Stop" without stopping and/or asking permission, you will suffer the consequences. We feel good that someone is watching traffic to protect us and our property. We will stay here on our future trips west. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Close to Guadalupe National Park. Very friendly staff. Bathrooms are okay, but need some TLC. WiFi is available from the hotel across the street and is free for anyone to use (thanks to the hotel they don't require you to be a guest to use the free WiFi)! We enjoyed our stay. There isn't much for shade or amenities. But for a short stop over it was nice. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

No longer Passport America or any other "camping club", but a satisfactory overnight park. Certainly better than the other alternative in town. In this park the manager was very pleasant.

This is a Passport America Park. The regular rate is $18, PA rate is $9. The park is easy off/on I-10. Streets and sites are gravel & level. We spent 1 night in our 39 ft. motorhome and had no trouble navigating the streets & sites. We had a pull thru and didn't have to unhook the car. There were several other Snowbirds overnighting there also. The park has few amenities, but is quite adequate for a night or two. We did not notice the electric problems the previous reviewer reported. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is not much to look at but it's serviceable. We stayed three nights hoping for decent weather to get to Guadalupe National Park but did not get it. Very nice, helpful office staff. Sites level but a little cramped on our row even for our 30 ft class A. As park filled with overnighters each evening we noticed that the power suffered. Some train noise but not too troublesome. Nice clean, warm bathrooms and showers with plenty of hot water. Passport America park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is basically a parking lot with Hookup posts. We took our dogs out for a walk and all over the parking lot area were small burrs. The burrs got into the dogs pads and into our shoes. We were a little leary about staying here due to the area. The town looks rundown. The manager was very helpful and pleasent. The washrooms were clean and large. It was a Passport America participant. We would NOT stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park gets a 2 rating because it has long pull-thrus and tall pine trees. We pulled in because of the wind storm while driving, so decided to stay 2 days and catch up on laundry. The office was closed so I put a check in the envelope and placed it in the slot. After setting up in the first site the electric went out. We used another power outlet on the next site. The electric amps were so low that I could only use the air conditioner. I couldn't use the electric hot water or the refrigerator. So much for doing laundry. I kept going back to the office to see if any body was working so I could get my money back for the second day. No one ever showed up for both days. The park is for sale. Hope someone with big money comes in and helps this place get back on it's feet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the very worst. We had to move over to the KOA in Van Horn to spend two more nights due to severe wind event in the area. The electricity was really funky on our 30 amp connection; I don't know if there are any 50 amp sites in this park. We couldn't find any. Don't plan to use your microwave or convection oven here. This park gives Passport America's already dubious reputation an even more tarnished reputation. I believe I will dump Passport America and join KOA's travel club. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We paid $12.50 with Passport America, otherwise it's $25.00. Yes, there are mountain views. That is why we gave it at least a rating of 2. This park has a For Sale sign in front. No one was in the office from 2pm through the next morning. The ad states rallies welcome with a large rec room. The rec room was filled with junk. It looked like a few garages were cleaned out & put in there. We could see it though a opening in the wall when using the bathrooms. The rec room was not accessible. The ladies room had a toilet broken, no toilet paper, no paper towels, the waste can was spilling out onto the floor, and was filthy. The shower rooms were dirty but at least had toilet paper. Above all, we had a 30A site and couldn't use anything but lights. The voltage was very low. We had to use our inverter to use the microwave. People pulling in were scurrying around trying to find 50Amp sites or at least usable 30Amp. Some sites had an "X" on the electric post but other that didn't had poor power. We don't know if the WiFi worked. We didn't try. One night was more than enough. This park could be a very pleasant place if it were kept up. Even though it's along the frontage road of I-10, the openness of the surroundings made the noise tolerable. We will not return to this park and we will let Passport America know of its condition. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stopped here for an overnight while traveling. The Electric was low and flucuated from below 108 to about 112 volts. We parked way in the back, and were happy for the quiet site. Many Pecan trees in this park. We picked many off the ground. They were tasty. We would stay here again but hope they fix up the power. Had supper at Chewey's restaurant in downtown Van Horn. Great food and pleasant surroundings. Fried Chicken to die for. John Madden's Hall of Fame. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good park for an over night stop. Passport America rate is $13.50 good for one night. Easy on/off from I-10. Sites are long enough to stay hooked-up. Trees between each site. Very large park so lots of space with wide interior roads. Far enough back from the highway to have only minimal noise and train seemed far in the distance. WiFi worked great but cable TV did not work at our site. Only a few 50 amp sites available. Our 30 amp electricity had low voltage. Many sites are closed due to electrical problems. Ground cover between sites contained small stickers so our dog could not walk around. Had to walk him on gravel road to grass along front of park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is fine for a one night overnighter. Very large pullthrough sites make entering and exiting a breeze. We checked in at 3:00 p.m. and left at 9:30 a.m. the next day and didn't see anyone in the office or any workkampers whatsoever. The $10 rate is Passport America. If no one is in the office when you check in, be sure to go to the front entrance and use the park layout plan to pick a site...not all are 50 amp, if that's needed, and some sites are Xed off because of faulty electric.

Checked in and hooked up to electric and then discovered that my electric appliances were not operating at full charge, i.e. my tea kettle would not perk and microwave was not rotating at full speed. I spoke with the person who checked me in and she said there were no other complaints. I didn't know what to do, as in checking other sites those currents appeared low also. The owner then came over and with great hostility confronted me, never asking me for information, accusing me of causing trouble. He grabbed my hand and placed a 'wad' of money in it and told me to leave. He said there electric hookups were fine and asked what kind of 'five and dime' gadget was I using to check their system. I tried to explain to him about my appliances but he continued to not listen and yell at me. I have traveled for over a year in an RV and have never been treated with such abuse. I am a volunteer campground host in a national park and would never treat someone as I was treated. I moved next door to the Van Horn KOA and was treated wonderfully. MY RV electric system is working just fine here! Mtn. View obviously has wiring problems! And a very hostile and rude owner. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Used Passport America for the great price. Park is right off I-10 so expect some noise but the surrounding mountain beauty more than made up for the traffic! Extra large sites allowed my 58 foot rig to park and get in and out with no problems. Extra wide roads, nice small gravel surface and level sites made this a nice camp. Mostly passing through type one night travelers. Would definitely stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here one night while traveling through. Very large level gravel sites -- large enough to leave our HDT, 38' 5th-wheel, and Jeep all hooked up together. Very wide streets and wide sites. Beautiful desert setting. Very clean and well maintained. Easy to get in any of the entrances (there are at least two), and easy to get into big diagonal sites. Although WiFi is advertised, we were unable to get anything but a very weak signal. I would have liked to stay longer, but we had a deadline to be in Arizona. Will definitely go back there if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

An interesting feature is that he offers horse corrals for travelers with horses/ Passport & Happy Camper Park. Cost is $10. Electricity was good, but low water pressure.

This campground is only a one night stopover for us. We always stop here when in Van Horn. The management is super. They have a small cafe at the campground with excellent meals. They will even deliver to your rv site. Reasonably priced as well.The office has gifts,food items and rv items to purchase. There is a computer with high speed and/or wifi, and they will let you check your email or surf the web, as long as you don't abuse the use. We really enjoy our stay at this KOA. Peaceful and quiet.

Very nice KOA, used it as an overnight stop. The small cafe is nice for a great quick dinner after being on the road. Great view of the mountains and check out the ostrich in the fence at the back right of the park. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good park with great management ready to assist you in any way. The 50 amp service showed a little low in voltage on our gauge but still adequate. Everything else is real nice for being in a real dismal place on a real dismal super windy day. We waited out the wind event for two nights. Chuey's Restaurant is a real good one in town; check it out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is very nice for an overnight stay. Sites are level and plenty of space between sites. The management provides a printed "Welcome" sheet which states that they are on the edge of the desert and sometimes the cable tv works and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes the Wi-Fi works and sometimes it does not. Well true to their statement, the cable system provided poor reception on some channels and good reception on others. The Wi-Fi came in and then was lost. I guess that is ok because we are warned in advance????? I find it an odd way to do business, after all are they not paying for a service that they are not receiving and then passing that cost along to their customers? If you are interested in cable tv or Wi-Fi this is probably not the place to choose for your stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for a quick one night stop during cross-country trip. site was gravel surrounded by grass and was quite level, and long enough to stay hitched with 28' TT. Had an end pull-through which had a wonderful mountain view to the east. Far enough off I-10 that there was no road noise. Facilities at this exit to gas up, etc. Very small pool which we did not use, and mini-golf holes and playground. Office/store is open in morning, closed mid-day and re-opens from 3-7 pm. Check-in was friendly and efficient. would not hesitate to stay again if in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We just stopped for the night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were dated, but OK. One (of 3) shower stalls was out of service in the men's room. The view of the mountains at sunset was a nice treat. Furthermore, the location was about a mile off the interstate, which kept the noise to a minimum. Our only problem was an encounter with a fire ants soon after we set up. Having dealt with these little monsters when I lived in the South, I immediately un-hooked and requested another site. The management was most helpful and we relocated to a bug-free site. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a good overnight stop while driving through Texas on I-10. 50 amp, WIFI, and pull throughs make it a good stop for a big rig. There is a pool and a playground, but this is also in a very dry climate where dust blows frequently. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a little cafe on the premises with good basic food, such as hamburgers and chicken fingers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed overnight on our way to Missouri. Although I had called several days earlier to get a reservation, no one returned my call. On the up side when I showed up there were plenty of spots open and the staff was very friendly. The rate reflects my KOA Value card. Sites were wide enough for our 39' with slides and although there wasn't much in the line of vegetation it made a perfectly good spot for an over night stay. I would stay here again anytime we are in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A typical dry West Texas Campground with limited vegetation but it does have very long, level pull through sites, good ingress and egress, and strong free wi-fi. Better than the average KOA and well worth the money. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have stayed here two or three times a year since 2001. The owner is retired military from FT Bliss. I have watched him work this place over for 5 years. I have always loved the area and plan on staying at this park for a couple of months next year after I get straight with the VA. The place is always clean. The owner is always doing something. He was so proud when the wireless was put in. The cable sometimes is bad. But, that's life in the desert. No good grounds equal no good TV. Nice little camp store and the cafe serves some pretty good food. I love it when they bring dinner to your trailer. All in all, I cannot recommend this place any higher. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a "lifesaver" park, we had just left San Antonio and had to go to Tucson, but that was not feasible in one day. Van Horn was a pleasant spot to stop for one night. The Staff was really pleasant and helpful in getting us situated. The sites are easily accessible and adequate spacing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camp at this park twice a year in June and August on our way to and from California. The owner is so helpful and friendly and the park is maintained to perfection. We esp. like the clean pool and watching the many rabbits which explore the area. The Wi-Fi works perfectly too. We were sorry the KOA kitchen was closed for the end of the summer as the meals in the past have been delicious. Looking forward to our stops next summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park appeared to be clean and well laid-out, but we never got to explore it as it was infested with blood-hungry mosquitos. We got one jack down before our skin lit on fire and we dove for the repellent. We managed to get power and water hooked up (forget about sewer) and then dove into the trailer, where we spent the rest of the night taking care of indoor duties and swatting vampires. We dearly wanted to shower off the repellent, but didn't dare. It was a very itchy and uncomfortable night, and the morning departure was only slightly less uncomfortable. If the owner would spray his campground my rating would surely have been a lot higher. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I gave this park a 10, because everything advertised WORKED and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Owner is considering putting in a hot tub, as the pool was clean and cool. The wifi was excellent considering I was put in a corner supersite that had a fire ring and nice picnic table. There is little noise that you can hear outside, but inside the RV, we didn't hear anything. I would definitely stay here again. An oasis in the desert. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was ok. It was definitely away from the road and railroad tracks, so the noise was down. However, it was really close to the city dump or sewage plant. Maybe the wind was just blowing in the wrong direction, but my wife and I couldn't sit outside the night we stayed. I might stay again...but would have to bring a nose plug.

Convenient to I-10, but very little road or train noise. Helpful, friendly staff at check-in. Long, level, wide pull-throughs, and wide interior roads; can stay hooked-up for an easy morning exit. Good voltage, and water pressure; and FREE, fast WIFI. Good stopping point between middle Texas and points West. A little more expensive than other campgrounds in town, however, to us, a much better choice and value. We camped here in a Motorhome.
