Loved the morning breakfast - nice touch! Place might be under new management - some areas need some work. Some pads were clearly not being used and neglected. Thumbs down on their dog park but plenty of room to walk a dog - trouble is there were a few tarantulas and I swear I heard a rattlesnake so had to be on careful watch. With improvements this could be a nice park.

Nice, small, clean campground right off I 40. Very friendly staff. Sites are close but very quiet. The town of Tucumcari was on old Route 66. Nice neon signs and sites. It was like stepping back into the 50’s or 60’s. We ate at Del’s Restaurant. Good service and food.

The campground sits below a small hill with a road on it. You don't get the noise from the interstate. The facilities are clean and well kept. The young lady in the office was polite and helpful, they were shorthanded the day we were there, so we didn't the usual KOA escort to the site, but it was OK, we were there early enough to not have an issue. I would stay again.

The staff was excellent and very helpful. Customer service excellent. They even deliver breakfast 😋 in the morning if you want. Quiet, shaded, clean restrooms and dog park open at all times and very well kept. Swimming pool, clean and organized. Will be back and thank you for everything.

Very kind and friendly folks. I was staying at a tent site while moving in a uhaul truck and towing my car. They had plenty of space to safely pull off and onto the drive and I just followed the loop around when I left! I also liked that the dog park had two fenced areas vs one.

This campground is clean and safe. We’ve stayed here multiple times over the last 5 years traveling to and from Colorado. Great staff and they offer a pre-order pancake breakfast reasonably priced.

Nice little park! Easy friendly process. Serving breakfast option is a nice bonus!! I do feel However, Owners could warn and discount upon reservation process due to no pool availability. It is what it is yes but a different decision to stay could be made with full disclosure.
