RV Parks/Campgrounds

Heading to Tucson the end of October, it's almost 800 miles from Colorado to the RV park so am hoping to find a one night stopover South of Albuquerque on I-25 and North of Hatch,NM. Have been searching the sites but haven't found anything that says " This is the Place" looking for suggestions.

Thank YOU
  • Elephant Butte, exposed on a hill side. Caballo Lake, River site, along the river, trees and shade.
  • Thank you for the great overnight stopping suggestions, Elephant Butte sounds like it would be a good place to rest for the night.

  • It's west of Albuquerque, but we stayed for a night at American RV Resort right off the interstate. We didn't have reservations and got there past closing ,but there were clear directions. It was nice and clean. They had a free continental breakfast in the morning, which was nice. Our kids liked the playground, and there was a fenced dog area next to it.
  • Riversite at Caballo Lake, NM. State park, $10 no hookups, $14 for electric and water, $18 for full hookups. Dump site at Lake site if necessary. No reservations at that time of year.
  • Stopover for me is a place to get some rest and an early start in the morning. If that is the case, Isleta Resort and Casino is about 20-30 minutes south of ABQ and is just off I-25. They have an RV park across the street that is roughly $35, has nice views and transportation to and from the casino is free. There is a section for drycamping available at the casino, either way it is a quick in and out and back on the highway.

    If you tend to have lots of daylight available on your stopovers, one of the many state parks south of ABQ along I-25 might do the trick, They are just a few minutes drive off the exit ramp and all have good ratings. If enjoying the outdoors is high on your list these offer nice sites, many with covered and cemented patios. We love Tucson and have many friends and relatives in the area. Hope you have a wonderful stay in southern AZ.
  • BLM land on CR 90B is free, if you don't need full hookups.

    Freecampsites.net is a saving grace for us when doing long distance runs
