Small town of less than 1,000 people with many boarded-up storefronts. Three restaurants that have…read morebreakfast and lunch. The truck stop at the edge of town is the only one not headlining burritos. The two motels in town are family-owned, clean with a bar. Otherwise there is not much to speak of except that they can't seem to keep police or firefighters on staff and the tenor of most of the place is unwelcoming. Dozens of stray dogs and cats roaming with no public intervention or interest in spay/neuter. Go north to Raton or south to Santa Fe for bigger. Cimmaron is nearby, small and friendly and close to the national Boy Scouts center.

Full transparency, I live in Springer. I want to dispute what some reviews said about feeling like…read moreSpringer wants you to "move on along". I moved here 15 years ago, and have never felt more welcomed by a community. Over a period of 40 years, my husband's job took us to 9 different towns in New Mexico. Many, were as small or smaller than Springer. The people here welcomed us from day one, where as some we lived in for 5+ years and still didn't feel welcome. Yes, we are a small town. Depending on what you want to do, there is a lot for some, nothing for others. If you are looking for bright lights and city life, head south to Albuquerque, or north to Denver. If you are looking for hunting, fishing, beautiful landscapes, viewing wildlife or just peaceful rest, stop here or anywhere in Colfax County. Our restaurants advertise burritos because that is the type of food most people around here want. Remember, we are the "red or green" state for our chili. We have landmarks around, one just has to look or pay attention to the road signs. I give it 4 stars, because we don't have everything you may ever need. For that, you will have to live in a bigger city. But, for me, and most of the residents of Springer, that peacefulness is well worth having to drive out of town once in a while.

A very hard place to get information on but we'll worth the effort. If you drive south on 283 out…read moreof Dodge City for about 40 miles, you'll see a Historical marker on your left. Less than a mile past that is a gate for the trail entrance. There is a main gravel road with a lot of offshoot paths. DO NOT have a low riding vehicle. Many rocks and ruts even on main section. As you drive around , you can really see the basin. We did not see any bison but there is plenty of pies as evidence of their presence. Two main flat areas, one close to entrance and one farther in that have plenty of dung piles. The views are fantastic for being in farmland. Don't forget to look for the famous St. Jacob"s We'll. It is marked and there is a sign over the walking path down to it. And yes, it is full of water. Looks like a natural swimming hole surrounded by the only big trees on the property. We spent a good couple hours driving around. This gate is the only entrance in, and could be closed anytime, but there is no info if and when. We're here in mid April and we were the only ones in the whole area.

After 10 minutes, we got up and left to the other restaurant. Staff members were all watching the game instead of waiting on patrons. At the other place to eat it is not loud at all. But, the hostess either doesn't know how to be friendly or has an affliction prohibiting her from smiling. Rocky start just to grab some food! Waitress came to take our order and thankfully it arrived quickly. The food was ok, underwhelming. Needless to say, I don't anticipate ever stopping here again!

Customer service is terrible here now! It's been going slowly downhill since 2020 when I first…read morestarted coming here. They've moved all the card tables to the back of the casino, literally directly in front of the restrooms. I made the fatal error of walking over a roped area not realizing it was the pit of the tables (they were much better and CLEARLY blocked off when the tables were in the front of the house when you walked in and not blocking the bathrooms!! ) Well, after realizing I had walked over a rope trying to make a straight beeline to the bathroom, I was yelled at by a gambler, so I went back over the rope, and went around the entire circle of tables. . I almost peed my pants!! I left the restroom and I went back to the slot I was playing. I was ready to leave because I felt as though I was being watched and my slot was sucking up all my money. I most certainly WAS being watched!! Security came up to me and asked me if I knew why they were there... uh yeah because I almost peed myself and walked over a rope, but went back over it immediately after realizing, I was in the table pits. The lady says well, you need to leave immediately and not come back for 24 hours. Wow, ok!! No warning nothing... I've spent THOUSANDS of dollars there between the losing slots and meals at the restaurant and this is how you treat a customer. I keep giving that place a chance, but I'm done now. Slots are extremely TIGHT... and the place was empty, so that's telling. I'm surprised they're still open to be honest... I'm not returning.

It was dusty in the museum but it was nice to see the old relics displayed. The underground walk way was rebuilt in the 40's so we were told. And yes there is no proof of the Daltons actually being there but it was up to your imagination to think about it. There were many posters to read about the gang which took much of our time since the rest is easy and quick to see. The house is super small inside as you notice from the outside but nice to see the dated furniture. I looked at the $5 admission fee per person as a donation for the historic society. And the best part they had those candy cigarettes that I remembered when I was a kid. Best thing ever.

I wish there were a way to find out how the eco-friendly rebuild is actually working out. Is the solar power reliable? Did the money spent on extra insulation eventually pay for itself? There's no way to know; it's presented as a panacea. If I could change just one thing about the exhibits, it would be to introduce a 3 letter word: "sic". "Sic" would would show that the exhibit's creators knew about and were accurately reproducing the errors in quoted newspaper articles. "The supply of water found to inexhaustible." [sic] "There are about 4,000 gallons of water to the inch in the well" [sic]. (The well's diameter of 32 feet gives 500 gallons per inch, not 4,000.) Without "sic", most of the errors just look like typos.
