This campsite offers a peaceful and quiet spot that's only a short drive off I-40, making it a convenient stop. Campers appreciate the level ground and easy access to power, water, and sewer hookups. While communication with the host can be hit or miss, help is often available from family members. The views are praised, although some amenities may require a little patience to access.

BEST HIPCAMP EVER

24 ft Class C · With pets

The site was quiet, relatively private, with great views. Directions were clear and easy to follow, site was level, power/water/sewer conveniently placed. I would stay there again and I would also recommend it to my friends.

Not much privacy, but a home bas

36 ft fifth wheel · With pets

Overall, a pleasant stay. However I do think a few quirks are worth mentioning. We stayed 2 weeks in a fifth wheel to use as a base to see the Bisti Badlands. Firstly, this property is not directly on Route 66, rather a 5-10 minute drive. The mesas in the photos are further away than they seem. Secondly, when reaching out to the host just know you will not get a response and have to rely on her two sons to help getting settled like many others have mentioned. Thirdly, if you do not see a water hose upon arrival you will need to wait for the sons to get home to bring it out and show you where you hook up. The water connection is between the white trailer and the fence in a black rectangular box about 12”x15” I believe they may bring the water hose inside during the winter when unoccupied. Other than that, cannot really complain, it served its purpose and was easy to find and back in. Snowed on us about 5-6 days out of the 14.

Perfect thing we needed

13 ft travel trailer

Perfect for any tiring long commute. We were able to rest comfortably away from the noise of trains and traffic yet close enough to the highway to go back on the road by morning.

It was a nice set up and in a quiet location. Close enough to Gallup and other stuff to do.
