We stayed at this RV park for two nights as we were on our way back to Arizona and we thought…read moreGallup would be a great place to explore. The staff at the front desk were super friendly. There is a bit of a grocery and gift store here as well. My understanding is they have barbecue available some evenings, but it was not during the time we were there. We had a 30 amp pull through site and what was really odd about how this is laid out is the person next to you shares the space for the picnic table so your pleasure side of the RV is actually facing someone else if they put someone near you. I found this a little awkward and uncomfortable. The park was not full, so why everyone had to be so close together was a little odd. If I could make any suggestion here, it would be to space people out if they are not camping with each other and only Phil in the middle sites if you're full. All the utilities were fine and pricing was reasonable at $47 a night. The pool is a nice touch although it does definitely need some updated paint and the pool furniture is splintering and terribly uncomfortable. You are about 10 to 15 minutes away, a straight up shot down historic Highway 66 Into the historic town of Gallup. Take the time to explore here. There's a great coffee shop there as well as find all of the murals as they all have quite the story! We happened to visit the downtown area on Sunday, which is OK if you want quiet, but many things were closed so maybe try to go on a different day Plenty of gas stations nearby if you need to refuel as well There are some larger 50 amp sites that had a bit more privacy in the very back row, but they seem to reserve those just for the huge rigs. There's also a tent camping available along the side with power as well as some individual cabins.

My brother, dad and I had an amazing experience at Chaco Culture National Historic site. We felt…read morevery fortunate to be able to visit such a magical place. I wont go into details, but it is worth the trip to come see this place at-least once in your lifetime and feel the energy that is here. We came in through the south rim off the 57. It is about a good 20 mile drive on a rough dirt road. I would not recommend driving here in any low profile vehicles or when it is raining because you will get stuck in the mud. Make sure your tires are good. Some patches are very rough and you will literally need to drive around 15mph. Once you reach near the visitor center there is paved road again. The loop is all paved and individual parking sites with restrooms are located in every site and will lead you on the trails. The hikes are moderate, but look out for snakes. The visiting section has a gift shop, really nice restrooms and they will provide all the info you may need. Entrance fee was only $25.

Just a heads up came here in January. I did not expect it would be snow covered fields and roads…read more The road leading up to this place no matter where you're coming from Highway 40 or Highway 25, eventually turns into a dirt road. Because it was frozen with snow on top our drive was pretty slow - 35 mph. I cannot imagine if it was a rainy day, all that mud. Don't come here if you don't have high suspension or at least an all-wheel-drive vehicle. We came here and had less than an hour left. The Ranger said we can drive the loop and see as many buildings as we can but we weren't able to see the large Pueblo. Still, it was worth it. Pictures turned out amazing. I did the junior ranger program booklet as fast as I could and I have to say it's one of the harder ones I've encountered if you were to finish the whole entire thing. I would come back here again, except when there's no snow that way you get to see way more of the architecture.

Canyon de Chelly is an amazing place. Whether you are passing through and get a chance to spend an…read morehour or 2 driving the North or South roads, it's worth it! It might not get any of the recognition of its big sister the Grand Canyon, but it is beautiful nonetheless! I'll also take the quietness and much smaller crowds. The South Road gives you great views for the afternoons, and the North Road gives you great morning views as the sun comes up. Either way there are some great viewpoints that are very different on each road. There are plenty of trails at the Outlook points, but you can really just make your own trail by walking wherever you can and want as long as you are careful. I take my pups and in some areas actually let them loose because we are the only ones around and because I trust my pups to not fall off the edge.

Elevation runs from 5500 to 7000 feet and is set at 10932W longitude and 369N latitude. Along the South Rim you can view Tunnel Overlook, Tseyi Overlook, Junction Overlook, Sliding House Overlook, Face Rock Overlook and Spider Rock Overlook. Along the North Rim there is the Antelope House Overlook, Mummy Cave Overlook and Massacre Cave Overlook. My favorite from the South Rim is the Spider Rock which reminds me a bit of a snippet of Inspiration In Bryce Canyon Utah. The colors of vivid green valleys, rich browns and mellow reds and blending beige rock formations along the rainy gray blue sky made the views fantastic! On the North Rim I just viewed the Antelope House Overlook which also splits to the Fortress Rock. This is about 1/4 hike along some smooth rocks. You can follow the yellow painted feet along the path to get to your viewings. Most of the overlooks are great for the young kids and elderly who don't want to or cannot walk long distances. You can take 4 or 8 hour tours from the Thunderbird Lodge that can take you down to the bottom of the canyon and see some farmlands. This is worth checking out if you wanted to see other less crowded views especially on a rainy day!

I cannot recommend this place, except for their speedy refund, after we were unable to confirm our…read morereservation with ANYONE that answered ANY of our phone calls at the site. We had made reservations for 2 nights at El Morro, confirmed by an e-mail, and stating that we would receive an e-mail AND a text with the the code to our cabin several days before our arrival. We received NOTHING!! Attempts to reach anyone that could confirm that we had a place to stay by phone on the day of our arrival were fruitless. It took over an hour to finally receive a call from the owner. By That time we had made other plans, as the drive to El Morro without a confirmation that we had a place to stay was just too big of a risk. El Morro's failure to follow through on our reservation as they said that they would, along with the total inability to contact someone at the site that had a clue as to what was going on caused us to miss spending time with friends that we had not seen in over 30 years. There is nothing that can be done to replace that.....

The amazing gentleman behind the register walked us through the menu, told us to take our time and they would love having us join them. The chef came out and talked to my sweetie about Gluten Free food and what he could make for her. Never have I expected amazing stand out food in out of the way small cafes. Usually I am just happy to fill my belly. This cafe not only had the best service I have ever experienced but the food was stellar! I would go out of my way to eat here again. Everyone there was so happy to to wait on us, feed us and talk with us to understand why we were visiting. They served 3 more groups of late arrivAl's `after we showed up and with each one, they welcomed them with open arms and made sure they too had a great meal and great service. If you are within an hour of this cafe, I highly recommend you make it to their door! Every other restaurant could learn from this wonderful group of people. Service with a smile, incredible food, personal service from wait staff and the chef! The home made pizza was the best I have ever experienced. Incredible crust and unique and delicious toppings!!!!

We stopped here because we were too tired to drive to Flagstaff. I called to make the reservation…read moreand requested a site near the restroom. The gal said she could only put me in site six which was not close because nothing else was open and there were only 50 amp sites close to the building. We told her that we had a converter and that was not a problem. When we arrived and we saw where the site was, I walked back and asked the gentleman inside who accommodated us immediately. A fifth wheel pulled up next to us and unhooked everything only to find out that the sites in actuality only have 30 amp, not 50 amp so they had to hook everything back up and move to a different location. They were not happy. This stuff is pretty basic - it's important to know what sites can accommodate what type of vehicles. The park seems to be next to what looks like a stockyard. Not very appealing. On the upside, they have very nicely marked trails that you can walk with signs describing the various lava formations and we enjoyed that. The other upside is that they serve free pancake breakfast in the morning, which we did not go to, but it was nice offering and also have a kitchen at night so you can order food and they'll deliver it to your site. they have two dog sites. One is very small and the other is a little larger, both without grass. Just gravel. There's no shade and it's incredibly dusty. And people go through the park fairly quickly creating a lot more dust. Not sure what they could do about it. It's just the situation to be aware of. The restrooms were clean.

We decided to go a little bit further so we didn't have such a long travel day on the last day. We were so pleasantly surprised with this KOA. We have traveled the entire United States and stayed at many RV parks and KOA. This spot in the middle of nowhere surprises us in the most best possible way! They were friendly and kind and courteous. They have a menu that you can order dinner from that is delivered to your site. And it's home cooked and it was absolutely delicious. My husband had a meat plate with brisket and ribs and I had the 12 inch pizza. It was better than any restaurant! They also serve free pancakes and coffee in the morning for anyone who wants breakfast. They even have a little store as well. This will be our stop going forward when we're traveling to the Midwest and east! We absolutely loved it.

Crews picked up trash and cleaned bathrooms. Feral dogs were noted several times and prairie dogs had their holes everywhere. With that said, I would stay there again.

That's why I added an extra star.
