Price: $52 a night with Good Sams

This was our second stay at this RV park. The first was a rather chaotic stop with battery issues etc. This stop gave us much more time to check out this first-class RV resort. Located on the west side of Albuquerque, NM conveniently off I40 this is the perfect location for short or long-term stays. The campground is situated behind the Route 66 Casino and within walking distance or quick free shuttle door to door.

This will be an all-inclusive location, by that I mean fuel, food, groceries, and entertainment are at your doorstep. If your thought is to head to the Albuquerque Ballon festival you are about 30 mins away from the site of the event. My guess is you will have to book this location very early to get a site, it was fully booked when we checked a few months back.

A) Site Quality: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5

Simply put, first-class with level concrete pads, desert-scape, and full modern hookup pedestals.  They feature over 100 full-service sites with picnic tables and fire rings. Super large rigs will enjoy 16′ wide pads with 100 amp hookup, there are 20 such sites. 43 sites are back-in with 30/50 amp service and another 37 pull-through sites with 12′ pads and 30/50 amp service.

Insights

• There are no long-term RV’s in this park. Your maximum stay is 14 days unless working out with the Casino.
• We seem to land in the 1200 row each time we stayed. On the last visit, we were in site 1207 which was located at the far end west end of the property. This put us close to the lower dog run.
• If your desire is to be close to the Pool, Clubhouse, etc I would call and try to reserve something in the 1100 row.
• Have a golf cart with you, there are designated paths all over the park to all the amenities.
• You will find very little or no road noise from I40 or the casino

B) Facilities: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5 

Some of the best we have come across. The main Club House is large and fully equipped with large screen TVs, a Billiard table, Games, Exercise Room, Laundry, and a free Coffee Bar. The pool is large and clean with a bathhouse. You also have access to the Indoor Pool and Hot Tub at the Casino. Located in the 1200 roll you will find another large Bathhouse and Laundry.

C) Amenities: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5 

Where to start, let us go with the RV Park. You will find a large Resort Style Pool, Club House, Shower and 2 Laundry, Exercise Room, Pickel Ball, Volleyball Courts, Putting Green, Horseshoe pit, Dog Parks, and Dog Wash. This is also a Rally Friendly location with a large Rally Barn full equipped. Every one of these I mentioned is in top shape and working order. The sites as mentioned above are spacious, clean, and level.

Now for the Casino. You will find it steps away from your site or a short shuttle ride door to door. This is a full-service casino with all that you would expect on the gaming end. They have 5 dining venues, 3 lounges, a nightclub, 2800 seat indoor theatre, and Kids Quest Childcare. As is typical with most Native American-run casinos this will not be smoke-free.

D) Location: ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5 

You are directly off I40 on the west side of Albuquerque, NM about 25 mins from the center of town. The Park is located at the rear of the Casino and is accessed by driving past the front of the casino on the frontage road and turning left at the end of the casino parking lot.

E) Paw – Friendliness – 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾/5

Zoey gave this park, a big paws up approval. There are two penned in Pet Yards at the mid-north and south end of the property. Both have grass, one large, the other smaller with seating, and give you a good place to relieve your dog. The park roads create a nice environment to take walks with your dog as we do. This, of course, will need to take place in the early am during the summer months. Throw in dog wash at the east end of the property and Zoey could not ask for more in the desert location.

Wanderers Overall Rating:  ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️/5 

The bonus here is the amenities and facility which are second to none. I would highly recommend this Park regardless of which direction you were headed. The Park will also give you some beautiful views of the morning sunrise and evening sunsets.

Sites/Attractions/Resturants

We have not stayed long enough at this location to give you the rundown of what all Albuquerque, NM has to offer. I will be updating this information as we plan to come back next spring and spend a longer period here. We did, however, make our way over to the Casino for the lunch buffet.

Honestly, he was right, the price was very reasonable, $15.00 a person and the selection was fantastic. We arrived just before they were making the switch to dinner. Typically you find the various foods picked over and not looking fresh. This was not the case with this buffet, everything looked like it had just been placed out. The salad bar looked fresh and crisp as did the Tex-Mex section which we both indulged in.

Great value and food of all varieties.
