Capulin RV Park
Overview
Capulin RV Park offers a welcoming and quiet retreat in the high plains of northeastern New Mexico. This family-operated facility serves as an essential base camp for travelers exploring the unique geological history of the region. It is a preferred choice for those seeking a relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere without the bustle of larger commercial parks. The park provides a clean and well-organized space that is particularly convenient for those traversing the popular route between the Texas panhandle and the Colorado mountains.
Location & Surroundings
Conveniently located along the Highway 64/87 corridor, the park provides exceptionally easy access for large RVs and complex towing setups. The setting is characterized by expansive views of the surrounding volcanic field and the iconic cinder cone mountain. Guests can enjoy the crisp air of the high desert and spectacular sunsets. The park’s position allows for convenient highway transit while remaining far enough from major metropolitan noise to ensure a restful night of sleep under the stars.

The park is equipped with functional features designed for a comfortable stay, including full hookup sites with both 30 and 50-amp power options. The sites are designed with gravel pads and are generally level to simplify the setup process for campers. Key facilities include:
- Clean and well-maintained private restrooms and showers.
- A convenient laundry room for long-term travelers.
- High-speed Wi-Fi access throughout the grounds.
- On-site propane refills and basic supplies.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The centerpiece of the area is the Capulin Volcano National Monument, located just three miles from the park gates. Here, visitors can drive to the rim or hike the trails around the crater of an extinct volcano. The nearby town of Folsom offers a glimpse into western history at the Folsom Museum. The area is also renowned for unparalleled stargazing opportunities due to the lack of light pollution, making it a favorite spot for amateur astronomers and night-sky photographers.
Who This Park Is Best For

It is perfectly suited for RVers looking for a no-nonsense, high-quality stopover with friendly service and reliable utilities.

Rented a cute little cabin. Was perfect for our family of 4 and right across from the Capulin Volcano National Monument! AMAZING stars at night in this Dark Sky area. Some road noise so bring ear plugs. Clean bathrooms!
Lori Sykes
Very friendly! Bathrooms, laundry, very very nice. We will definitely come back when we are this way again.

Don’t waste your time and money on this place. There were so many weeds and raccoon poop around the hookups they were hard to get to. They didn’t give us the WiFi passcode or the code to the bathroom doors. The men’s room wasn’t locked but there was NO hot water. They wouldn’t answer the door so I called to get the code to the women’s bathroom and they never called back. We couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I couldn’t give it a minus score or I would have.

Over charged us, no wifi. Not very organized. Only could use showers from 5-6. Seemed put out when asked for wifi passcode. it was incorrect so I asked again. Was very upset at me bothering her. She told me she was not responsible for the wifi. but she is the owner so who is?

This is a cute Lil corner store. The woman, running it is real friendly. It's even for sale. It comes with a home and restaurant in the back. The woman told me her and her husband want to sell and retire in Galveston, Texas. That's where we're from.

Easy in and out for an overnight stop while traveling through from Texas to Colorado. Across the street from the Volcano. I read all the negative reviews about the current owners. This is a RV park at there home. The vibe checking in is different. No biggie though. Just do not expect a traditional office or the usual welcoming hospitality. If you get a reservation ahead of time you shouldn’t have any trouble. I had to keep calling to get one. The bathrooms are still closed, so self contained is required. Park is clean and well maintained gravel surface. Sunrise is beautiful in this area.

Stopped there for 2 nights. Small rv park right off highway. No noise issues. Owners are super friendly! Got everything you need. Only 1 washer & dryer working, but luckily I was only one using. Very close to capulin volcano & worth a short drive there! Have to drive a bit for fuel & food. Perfect stop for what we needed.

This place has a lot of potential. POSITIVE: 1. Bathrooms are clean, newly remodeled and nicely decorated. (Should have replaced shower heads though) 2 Location is right near the entrance to Capulin Volcano National Monument 3. Grounds have sitting areas, darts, hammocks, firepit. Level gravel wide pull though spots. NEGATIVE: 1. Customer service! Unfriendly, confused lady in office that makes you not feel welcomed 2. Laundry room was closed for repair. Machines are old and just need to be replaced. 3. Wifi was really poor and pretty much unusable. 4. Reservation process. It is hard to get a hold of them on the phone to make reservations. They do not send any type of confirmation, and when we arrived she told us our reservation was for the day before (which was impossible since I called at 3:00 the day before and we talked about arrival time of 1:00 tomorrow). We stayed 1 night in our travel trailer as we passed through. I would not stay again until the negatives are fixed. UPDATE: After writing this review, the owner called me and said I am no longer welcome to stay at this park. I am changing changing my 2 star review to 1 star.
