This RV park is being advertised on its website as a mountain resort with retreat quality amenities…read more- what a joke!
In reality it's a rundown dump where basic utilities barely work and regular maintenance isn't performed.
Rates are not as advertised, with additional fees and taxes tacked on without warning, reservations are not honored, and no refunds are allowed whether you stay or not and no matter how dissatisfied you are with the services.
The bathrooms aren't kept clean and smell of backed up sewage, with missing shower/window curtains and filthy stalls that do not lock. The laundry room is full of dirty & broken machines, many that are not marked so you don't know until you lose your money or clothes don't come out clean.
The trashcans are full because they are not emptied, and the dog park is full of poop due to no baggie dispenser and people not picking up after their pets. It's trashcan is the worst of all, always overflowing with feces.
The grass goes uncut with tall weeds and pokeys that stick in feet & clothes and get tracked into RVs. All of the roads are bare mud & full of potholes and ruts - they aren't plowed in the winter and steep hills become icy. Piles of rocks/dirt/debris are scattered everywhere along with lots of holes & ditches, making walking around the park dangerous. All the signs/fences are faded & falling down, and the grounds are scattered with trash blowing in the wind.
The pool is green with algae and closed most of the time, frequently broken from lack of maintenance. The clubhouse is hot & bare, lacking any activities or equipment, and it appears to have homeless people living in it right now. The wifi advertised is nonexistent, and there is no cable or antenna channels that can be picked up. The basketball court is tiny & covered with dirt, picnic tables broken and placed near smelly septic tanks, only tetherball pole is missing it's ball, swing set isn't anchored and tips over, and short hiking trail that runs the length of the park has low hanging branches and big rocks.
The sites are short, narrow, unlevel & close together, lack picnic tables, fire rings or BBQ grills. They have hookups on opposite sides that are shared with neighbors, and either lack shade or have dead tree branches overhead. The water pressure is low & leaks are frequent, electric boxes exhibit signs of fire & melting, and breakers blow under minimal load. The park has very few 50 amp sites available, and all the security lights are burnt out so it's pitch black at night.
Most sites are full of live-ins in old rigs and cluttered yards w/dog kennels. Short term spaces are not cleaned after use and the only tent sites are very close together with no campfires allowed. Coyotes & snakes are frequent visitors so keep your pets in at night and watch your step! Cars speeding within the park is a problem even though there are unsightly speed limit signs every ten feet, and rules are not enforced so problem people are permitted to do whatever they want.
The park has had 4 owners in as many years, each worse than the last, with the most recent being a corporation based out of Texas who doesn't have any local management to watch over the park and has failed to invest in any repairs or improvements thus far. The RV park has steadily declined due to owners being unwilling to pay for maintenance or hiring employees who are willing to do any work, even the most basic of tasks required.
The most recent managers to be hired to live onsite are meth addicts who have drawn other drug users and criminals to the area, scaring residents because of the sudden influx of shady characters. They are erratic and incapable of performing any sort duties on a regular basis because they are too high to function. The couple act paranoid & are seen doing weird stuff at odd hours, randomly open the office & appear to be selling drugs out of it.
The managers are allowing extremely smelly homeless folks to stay for free in sites & common spaces, seen bathing in sinks & digging through the garbage for scrap metals, making a mess everywhere they go. Prior to these people taking over crime and drug use within the park was low, but now I wouldn't leave your belongings outside and unattended.
It's a shame that this RV park isn't being cared for and doesn't have better employees, because otherwise it would be a nice place due to its location in the East Mountains. It's surrounded by forest with nearby hiking trails, but near enough to Albuquerque to allow for visits to the city for shopping, dining & entertainment. Unfortunately I can't recommend that anyone stay here, especially not if you are looking for a vacation spot, because you are likely to be sorely disappointed and unable to get a refund.
