So so cute. Dish washing station, clean bathrooms and showers, phone charging station for multiple different types of phones. Very kept up with, shockingly clean for a camp site. Super nice staff. Cute cabins, solar powered fairy lamps on walk way. And to top it all off one of the owners gave me flowers! There's a grocery store about a mile down, and same with a coffee shop. I'd def recommend! read more

The people who work here are incredibly nice and helpful. They explained a little bit about the history of the campground, dating back to when the original owner Mario, turned 40 acres of land into a western village. Many of the buildings are still here. The sites overall are spacious and there are nice shade trees around. The bathrooms are clean. There was even a great coffee shop close by. read more

I love nature and views of nature so I love living on a mountain surrounded by trees and wildlife. The park is clean and easy to navigate. I love that there is a large grass area to walk dogs. The local shops, grocery and restaurants are excellent! Every local I have met has been very friendly and helpful. The hosts here at the park are not from the area but they took time to learn and they are well traveled and extremely knowledgeable. Grateful to be here. read more

Picturesque scenery just beautiful. Great location not too far from town . Clean restrooms & friendly staff !

Bathrooms, while clean, were old and very small. Im only 5'4" but my knees were almost touching the toilet stall door. The door knob to the woman's bathroom is ready to fall off. The sites are very close together, which isnt uncommon for a private rv park but it was disappointing. The people at the office were nice and addressed an issue about our site very quickly. The dump site basically blocks one of two exits from the property. I did understand they needed tokens for the showers but we didn't use them, especially after using the old and cramped bathroom. The deal breaker was the property bordering our site barked all night long AND several of the dogs for people staying in the park allowed their dogs to bark for long periods of time during the night (15 to 20 minutes at a time). Someone was running their generator during the night as well so I only had 3 hours of sleep cumulative that night. We left a day early even though we paid over $100 for the site. We were very disappointed and really tired when we left. read more

This is a rustic park, for sure. It is located off of the Turquoise Trail (NM State Road 14), which runs from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. I liked that it is a quiet park, located away from the road. The staff person who checked us in was very friendly. We followed her in her golf cart to our site, where she guided us in. Unfortunately, the site had some overhang from a tree, and the top of our RV hit against it, so we weren't too happy about that. A different site without tree branches overhead would have been more appropriate for our RV. The site was gravel, and fairly level, with full hook ups. We had a patch of grass and a picnic table. The grass, although mowed, was full of foxtails, so we had to carry our pup out to the road, which was a bit of a pain. Also, there is a horse stable on a private road right next to the RV park, and people tended to drive fast along the road, which stirred up a lot of dust. But the views from the RV park are so very nice, hills and mountains all around. I liked that they had a full recycle area, for glass, plastic, cans, etc. But the trash bins were a bit full. I don't know but we might have been there just before trash pick up day. Like I said, the park is rustic, so I enjoyed walking around the RV area and the tent area. Nice flowers, trees, etc. There were some long-term residents, which added to the rustic feel of the park. But they were quiet, so no big deal. I would definitely stay here again. read more

June 3, 2023 - Turquoise Trail RV Park, Albuquerque, NM) We pulled into the park right at 4:30 PM after about a 2 1/2 hour drive up Highway 25 from Truth or Consequences. The weather on the way up was fairly windy and we got a few good downpours of rain. We were a little tired from the drive when we arrived. We got checked into site 26. There were some tree branches that made contact with our 12' 4" high motorhome, so that wasn't ideal. I wish they would've given us a different site that had overhead clearance. They mow the lawn area, but it is still overwhelmed with foxtails, among a dog's worst enemies. No fun when embedded in your dog's ears. The park is a mix of part-time and full-time residents. There are sites for tents and RVs. They have bathrooms and showers available for those who want to use them. Tokens are provided for showers. I believe they're good for 5 minutes each. The sites are pretty close together and the Wi-Fi is about non-existent. They have a rock museum in the main office area. I did like that the park is away from the main road. read more

We drove several hours to try and find some peace and quite camping for a few days. Instead the camp sites were unfortunately stacked on top of each other resulting in loud and obnoxious neighbors. Here is a little word of advice. Please do not let people check in online and actually check in with you so they're not arriving at 1 AM in the morning! We planned to wake up early this morning to go the Balloon Fiesta but couldn't due to the lack of sleep. Let's not also forget that the "free wifi" was slower than my granny in her walker on a good day. read more

This rv park was very disappointing for the fact that the showers didn't work AT ALL! The staff was very rude! And we felt like we were living with our parents again! They kicked us out because we had been illegally evicted from another rv park days before and my boyfriend was on probation at the time so they showed up to search our rv routinely and apparently the park didn't like that, so we were denied being able to stay another night here. I guess that's thier right though. Whatever. read more

17 miles form ABQ! In the Sandia Mnts. Cooler temps than ABQ and a nice laid back atmosphere at the campground. There was a Good dog walking trail around the campground and recycling! We were safe and peaceful for four nights this Fall! There are Showers and toilets and a dish washing station. read more

The lady here was really nice but didn't take long to figure out it was all lip service. I think she'd tell you anything to get you to camp here. It's a beautiful setting. So we ended up in a site with no sewer. When we called we ask for full hookups and made the reservation. Then later after we'd made our travel itinerary she calls back and says "Oh sorry we don't have a full hookup for you ." Okay we can work around that even tho it's for 7 nights. So my husband went to the showers and found out you have to get a token. The water shuts off in 5 minutes and you don't get another token. "They are conserving water." But you can hook up to their water and use as much as you want? OMG. I could go on but I won't. Just get everything in writing before you completly commit. read more

It truly pains me to write a negative review for such a beautiful zen and peaceful place but our experience tonight was anything but. We stayed two nights and had planned to book two more but a nightmarish scenario happened tonight and it was probably the most unpleasant, hideous and uncomfortable experience on all our cross country road trips. We are doing a cross country camping road trip from Vegas to back east and in Flagstaff at Woodys we had a really nice time, so we were so looking forward to camping here based upon the reviews. Upon arriving we were immediately in love with how idyllic, tranquil and beautiful the camp grounds were, we slept like a baby even though it rained for a short bit, it just enhanced the nature experience even more. The staff here are all about hospitality and love. So much gratitude to that and AUTUMN you ARE AMAZING!! Thank you so much for your kindness. Now here is where the 1 Star comes in. We fell asleep around 8:30, it was so peaceful. Then all of a sudden a half hour later we were awoken by loud noise that sounded like motorcycles and people circling our tent. I said to my roommate, I guess we have late arrivals which is fine and expected. Then the nightmare started. These late comers, 3 of them were joined by a 4th person. They sat right outside out tent at the picnic table and proceeded to talk and cuss loudly about: Heroin Crack Politics Religion All sorts of negative topics then they started talking about 9/11 Conspiracy Theories. Laughing and joking about this horrible tragedy. The fact that it was Sept 11th really was just vile and disgusting to hear such talk ( LOUD and BOISTEROUS ) really disturbed me and made me feel so upset. I have friends that were affected by it and lost loved ones, so this personally affected me on a deep level. They continued to act obnoxious for hours, I heard someone scream out "Can I have your large knife there is a coyote by my hammock and I want to stab it" while laughing like a crazy person. More cussing, then singing...it was quite obvious these people were drunk and not respecting quiet time. We did not confront them but turned on our lights and walked out of the tent a few times as to say to them "You guys woke us up" This continued on until 1:00 AM when we finally decide to take down our tent, pack out things and flee like the Lutz Family at the end of The Amityville Horror. We legitimately felt TERRORIZED by these people and the laughing and constant singing and giggling made us feel like they knew that they were disturbing us and didn't give an eff. Our zen and beautiful magical peacefulness had been destroyed by ignorant people who were not mindful, rude, vile and just horrid people by the topics they discussed. Look it's a free country and everyone is entitled to their personal beliefs and I respect that, what I don't tolerate and respect is people who don't care about other people's space and have the need to speak so loudly about negative subjects, sexual language from the guys "C'mom F-Me Kat, Show me your P*SSY that made us feel 200 percent uncomfortable, threatened and offended but mostly sad that our peace was disturbed on such a next level at a beautiful campsite. There was no security to talk to, we only had the office number to leave a message to say we were vacating the campgrounds in the middle of the night. We are now on the side of the road not sure where the night will take us, with our service dog. I hope that management will tighten up on security and lay the law down on riff raff that comes in. We came for zen and peace and was subjected to the most horrible experience ever on all the miles we have travelled cross country. Very very sad. read more

This is a nice little park, up the mountain from Albuquerque. It offers full hook up as well as dry camping sites and three or four cabins for rent. The RV spots are not all level and it's a bit dusty. But at night ... OMG ... you can actually see the stars! TV reception is non-existent, the bathrooms and showers are clean. They are on water rationing so you only get 5 minutes in the shower (I mean how much more time do you really need)? The camp host is quite personable and pleasant. Eager to please and help out in any way she can. There is a small museum in the office that is interesting as well. This would probably be a little-known great find for anyone wanting to reserve a space for the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Festival next year. Better book now, because spaces to rent will fill up fast. read more

The camp hosts were very friendly and worked with us to find the right spot for our 40 ft Class A RV. There were several long-term residents in the park with older trailers but they did not seem to be a bother. We found a relatively level site but our neighbors were pretty close by. We shared a picnic table area with our neighbor to the passenger side and shared a utility corridor with our neighbor to the driver side. They had recycling near the dumpsters and cabins to rent also. Tent camping was in an area separate from the RV's. You could rent DVD's from the office if you wanted as well. The road into the park was all gravel with lots of dust kicking up as we drove in and out. We stayed a week and got our 7th night free. read more

Came back to stay here after a previous stay a year ago during Covid times. Our visit then was nice and quiet, but some parts of the campground needed some TLC. We just assumed that was Covid related. We were wrong. On the plus side: Autumn in the office was friendly and helpful. Location in the hills is lovely and rural. Gravel spot was level. We enjoyed some nice hiking trails last year (but inadvertently trespassed on a local horse trail.) On the negative side: mix of long-term campers and short-term side by side isn't our favorite; fresh water supply is a hose lying on the ground near the sewer connection, trash dumpsters at the front of the park were overflowing and super stinky. We're not super fancy campers, but we do like a cared-for campground. Turquoise Trail has great potential - maybe things will look better if you choose to stay. read more

A friend recommended this place to me because I was tent camping and there are just a few camp areas near Albuquerque that accommodate. I was lucky to get a place here without a reservation since it was the start of Memorial weekend. This place has everything you need, whether you're in an RV or a tent. The bathrooms are very clean, there are showers and even a laundry room. The tent sights have a level area to set up, a picnic table and a grill (charcoal only). There are no fire pits, but once you see the place you'd understand why. There is plenty of shade and hiking trails. They have a cute gift shop within the office, and the camp is only 15 minutes from Albuquerque. read more

Turquoise Trail Campground & Rv Park - A bit run down - RV Parks Near Me - Cedar Crest, New Mexico

I'm not sure exactly what this place is all about, I'm guessing it is private property. It is in a semi-wooded area a short way up the mountain from the highway - easy to get to but not very secluded. They have the tent campsites well separated from the RV section which is such an obvious thing to me as a tent camper but most places don't get that concept that a tent camper doesn't want to be right next to a rolling Motel 6. We were there on a week night and there was only one other tent camper. She had one of the two loops all to herself and we chose the other. It was a baptism by fire for the first time we were using our huge new self-erecting tent because as we were setting up the winds were beginning to pick up. During the night the winds averaged 20 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH which made sleeping in the tent like a thrill ride at a theme park. In the morning the wind changed direction slightly, kicking up huge clouds of dust. Taking the tent down under those conditions was quite the feat. The campgrounds themselves were okay but at $18.56 a little pricey for what it is. They did give us a couple of tokens for the showers which had hot water, something a tent camper always appreciates. I think the main reason to choose this campground is the proximity to Albuquerque, other than that it wasn't remote enough for my tastes. read more

Turquoise Trail Campground & Rv Park - The photo isn't faded, this was during a 40 MPH dust storm. Note that there's not a lot of trees for shelter - RV Parks Near Me - Cedar Crest, New Mexico

Lots of good things about this place. The peacefulness, location, etc. Pretty clean too. But... locking the rest rooms!?!?!? Not available! That's a first for us at RV parks, and a last for this place. read more

One star only because the site is in a lovely area of New Mexico! Other than that they completely misrepresented themselves on their website! Bathhouses are in very poor repair and their website indicated laundry facilities which there are none! There are no fire pits and was told when checking in that I could not have a fire, only charcoal in the run down grills. Do not reserve a spot at this rv campsite unless you want to be disappointed!

This was my first time tent camping in many years and a first to be by myself and my 2 service dogs. From the moment I emailed them with questions before they opened I was welcomed with open arms. If you are looking to go to a place where people care about you and away from the craziness of the world go camping there. I felt safe the whole time and found the place extremely well cared for. Can't wait to have another "Self Care" adventure. Side note the town is very nice and welcoming. Life is an adventure so take care of your self. read more

Fairly attractive and quiet. Autumn was very helpful and pleasant at check in. Price was right and services were sufficient. While out touring our second day we received 3 phone calls from 3 different people. They seemed to be very confused about our two day stay. Obviously a lack of communication in the office. When we returned to campground we checked in and gal, not Autumn, was very rude and seemed very frustrated. read more

We stopped in to camp with friends for a night, and are now adding on our third night. Very comfortable and laid back spot with mountain views and plenty of wildlife (birds, groundhogs). Dog friendly, spacious lots, nice community fire pit and private primitive spots. A little over our budget, but average pricing. Well worth the three-night splurge for us! Would be perfect if we had a sewer connection! read more

We stayed two nights and really liked it. It's away from the hustle and bustle of Albuquerque. We had our 20 foot trailer there, and my son and father-in-law stayed in one of the cabins. If you stay in the cabins, bring bedding. I don't think they provide it. Nice vibe. read more

Very scenic surroundings. Unfortunately, they crammed the spaces in like sardines. There are no restrooms or showers. Website did not indicate any closures, and prices don't reflect the closed and nonexistent amenities. Brochure listed local tv channels. When asked, we were told they don't get any, and they will probably need to fix the brochure. Had to go back and ask for the wifi password, and as is typical, it is very slow. read more

Good RV Park / Campground for the money. The site is level for the most part. A lot of shade it was e-z to back in to and the restrooms are clean. Coin operators showers I'm sure this is normal. The pick nick tables are nice and clean. I think this will be a regular stop. Space #36 read more

Giving this place a 3 because the wifi passwords did not work. I sent my two teenagers to the office to ask them to reset the router but they wouldn't. The office worker was very nice upon check in, our RV site was ready when pulled in and flat. The bathrooms were clean and I liked that they recycled. read more

Turquoise Trail Campground & Rv Park - Cute prairie dogs - RV Parks Near Me - Cedar Crest, New Mexico

We tent camped here on our way to California. The camp sites are nice and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The showers were a bit outdated but, for one night passing through it was what we needed. We were really worried about the bears since this is "bear country" (since we checked in late we didn't talk to anyone that night) but, we were informed the bears don't come up by the camp sites and hadn't for over 10 years. All that being said, I would camp there again. read more

The staff at turquoise is absolutely wonderful. Autumn is so sweet and kind. We were looking for an apartment and camp there for several weeks. The other ladies in the office were very nice as well. There was a girl in the office from North Carolina who was very helpful and kind and Kelsey as well. It's quiet at night and also during the day. There is plenty of room to walk your dog. My son walked our 15 year old German Shepherd down the hill and she enjoyed camping there. The grounds are large and the owner is nice but it's a big place to keep up. We were going to go back but we found an apartment. We will definitely camp there in the future if we're out and about. The tent ground is reasonable and they have showers and toilets. And like anywhere you are going to get a few people who really should not be at campgrounds but the owner takes care of it. And like anywhere people who smoke marijuana feel that they can go anywhere and do that. There are signs that says no smoking. They do their best to control everything and make it comfortable for those who want peace and quiet. I would say 99% of the campers just come to camp and have solitude there. Again I would like to thank autumn and the rest of the staff for their kindness and helpfulness. read more

Stopped by to see some friends. We were under the limit of 10 people per spot, we were under 6 people just visiting not being loud not even 8:30pm and were told we had to leave. Before that, thought about staying there seemed like a nice place but very close together. Sites not 6ft apart just fyi, we will not be back! Lady was very rude and made comments as we left, very unprofessional and rude! Will not be back or book or tell any of our many RV friends. We were outside under the 6 person limit and we were all very far apart. I can't believe how rude the lady was. read more

Great place! We originally booked two RV sites at a campground up in Taos, but due to weather conditions, we had to find a new campground last minute. We were so lucky to have found this place! The staff is super friendly and accommodating! We were here for about a week and originally, they could not book two sites right next to each other because it was so last minute, but they went through the trouble of moving other people around so we can have adjoining sites, which was great! Campground is clean and peaceful, and there's also lots of areas for your dogs to run around. I would definitely come back here the next time we do another RV trip in the area! read more

Well what do you say // I think after being there 6 weeks over 1200 bucks // I think they need to re arrange the whole park// or sell to some one else with some knowledge on how to take care of there customers/ /first thing they shouldn't write down your credit card numbers on un secured visible cards// that's bank fed law // farad ]] un secured ]]we had to change our bank account and cards // then make sure that the parking pads are re graveled / and level /for the bigger motor homes // so when it rains you dont drag MUD into your RV // and designate a pet play and potty area // no one seems to now how to place the rvs in proper places , very disorganized and no one is there till 12 noon // and most of all is the shitty dump site no hoses no wash out water [[ hole concrete environmental health needs to know, drain is broken ]] and its in the main drive needs to be moved nasty ,, and a lot of the sites have no waste hook up,s very disorganized i cant believe the un professionalism of this place could be made much better and with covid i wouldn't go near the showers or toilets either so if you all dont like this its the truth so stick it mike g read more

I called about 10:30ish pm. Trying to find a place to camp for the night. This campground offers 24 hour services as a traveler this was fabulous. The lady I spoke to was very helpful she told me they did have some open sights .She gave me the information on how to check in without assistance's . I asked about the showers she said they were coin operated showers. So we stopped and got $13.00 in quarters. The campground at the Grand Canyon charged $2.00 for 8 mins. So we were for sure we had enough quarters. The lady did call me back and told me the sight we could us. We were very thankful for her trying to take care of us as it was getting late. We got to the campground found our sight and hurried to the bathroom looking forward to having a shower. That's when I got upset it had one shower in the ladies bathroom that was ok. But the shower had to have a token not coins. There I stand naked ,mad and then notice the curtains over two windows in the bathrooms were laced sheers. This means see through. I was hoping no one saw me naked and dead laughing. There were not paper towels or hand dryer in the bathroom . My sister had a wash cloth so we were able to wash our feet off ,they had dusty from the gravel road. I know this is common in this area. Upset and dirty we went back to our camp site laid down for just a min. Jumped back up told my sister I'm getting a bath of some kind tonight. We went back to the bathroom washed our hair in the sink in cold water and bathed like a bird in the sink with cold water in front of the windows with laced sheer curtains. Yes we laughed and learned a lesson. There is a difference between coins and tokens. The next morning we got up at 6:00ish am to head out found the envelope we put our payment in on the wipers with to TOKENS for the showers in it. We did not have time to take a shower. I would stay here again but would make sure I got the TOKENS .Please change the curtains. I will always asked coins or tokens for showers. In our part of the world showers are covered under the cost of renting the sight. I know I'm not in our part of the world. read more

The area is nice. Bathrooms are fine. Here's our problem with them: We moved to Albuquerque from Chattanooga, we live in a converted school bus. On a trip to Albuquerque we picked this place out. They have plenty of full time people living in RVs there so we thought it would be a good place to live at first. We secured jobs and made the move. We specifically divulged that we live in a converted school bus. (This is not a dirty hippy bus, it's nicer than most RVs, painted white with a flat nose, it is officially and in every way a class a motorhome.) We sent them pictures of our bus and they gave us the go ahead. We specifically told them we were moving to ABQ to live there and that we had already gotten jobs, etc. Upon arrival (a week or so after we arrived) they told us that they wanted us gone in a few months, by the start of their season. They said we made no mention of living there full time (which we did), they thought we would only be there for a month or two. They just wanted to kick us out. The RV next to ours had two broken down cars outside it, we were by far not the trashiest people there. There were plenty of RVs with junk laying around outside, etc. They told us the bus didn't fit the aesthetic. The manager Emily either lied to us or her boss, the owner. We definitely told her we were moving across the country to live there, something she feigned ignorance of. We specifically were upfront in the beginning with photos, telling them we were moving there, etc and they backslid on us, kicking us out with no good reason. I spoke with the owners on the phone and they couldn't give us one real reason. The owners also drove past us every day checking on us making us feel very unwelcome. We were nothing other than model RV park citizens and they kicked us out because of a stereotype. I can't begin to explain how difficult and stressful it was having to pick up and move like that with little notice. I wouldn't give these guys your money. read more

Be careful monthly campers. I put down a "deposit" of $200.00. What a joke! the $200.00 was a fee not a deposit. A deposit gets refunded partially or fully. A fee is a permanent charge!
