Janet Lengel
Convenient location and reasonably priced for an overnight stay. Water, ducks & swans were fun to see in the desert. Only complaint is inadequate electric input to power AC consistently and it was uncomfortably HOT. Try to stay on the shaded side vs the pull thrus.

Newberry RV Park was a nice little surprise. The folks that operate it are friendly, the park itself is clean, the little ponds with ducks and other birds really add a lot. We only stayed for one night, but would happily come back again. The vibes were genuinely solid, wasn't too packed but had enough people to not feel abandoned.

We stayed one night. The price was great. There was significant road and railway sound/noise, but not overwhelming. The area was clean and the little "lakes" gave it some added interest. We would stay there again.

Clean, well kept grounds, right by the highway so there is noise. Pull-thru sites not long enough to keep our Jeep attached to our 37' motorhome, had to unhook. Good enough for an overnight stay.

I’ve tent camped here several times. There’s plenty of shady spots under the trees. Nice bathroom with shower. Beautiful sunsets and stars. Right down the road from Bagdad Cafe.
