Boom Booms Campground @Tex & Edna's

8. Boom Booms Campground @Tex & Edna's

31mi from Conchas Lake State Park · 1 site · Tent, RV · Tucumcari, NM
Welcome to Boom Boom's Campground at Tex & Edna's! We’ve opened the first of our twelve scrappy, scruffy little campsites sitting on just under four acres, a hair outside Tucumcari city limits. You’ll find star-splashed skies overhead, and the Route 66 glow of Tucumcari is just a hop and a skip down the road. Small-town convenience is literally a stone’s throw away — we’ve even got a fancy grocery store where they sell those little boxes of cheese from the world-famous Tucumcari Mountain Cheese Factory. Isn’t that right, Tex? (That’s right, Edna.) You’ll have access to a bathroom and shower — and if you ask real nice (and we remembered to pay the gas bill), we even have hot water. If you’re tired of smelling like bug spray, we’ve got a few rooms in the rock house you can rent — assuming some other campers or one of those traveling nurses haven’t already taken them. Isn’t that right, Tex? (That’s right, Edna.) We’ve got all the features you’d expect from a primitive campground, plus a few extras — like a place to build your fire (as long as there’s no burn ban in effect). Please check with us before lighting a fire, ’cause when fires happen and they shouldn’t, they can get scary real fast. And we will throw you under the bus — not that we’d have to, since the firefighters can always tell where it started. The wind pushes the fire away from your campsite, leaving a burn pattern like a big arrow pointing right back at you. If you don’t believe me, just ask Mr. Williams, who had to explain to his wife why he couldn’t come home from his hunting trip just yet. While I was writin’ this, Tex told me, “Edna, erase all that and just say, ‘Nice campground. Cheap.’”
