Dancing Eagle Casino RV Park

I had called ahead for a reservation. When I arrived the office was closed (11a-3p), so I just followed the self check in process. At 2:30p I noticed the office was open so went in to confirm we were all good. Staff VERY friendly and helpful, both on the phone and in person. There's the Dancing Eagle market and Grandma Jo's bakery next door to the south, and the Casino next door to the north. I highly recommend Grandma Jo's bakery. It's cash only. But I love the turnover pies.. I'm not into casinos so can speak to that. But I did dine in the casino restaurant. Friendly staff, a menu with a variety, and good food.

This RV park is close to I40 so it's handy. There's a fuel station/truck stop across the road to the west. Still, with all that, it's fairly quiet and peaceful here. Not quite like boon docking. But that's not what I was looking for or expected.

Previously I have had good experiences here, but recent staffing changes and a steep rate hike have made this place a lot less desirable. The Sky City Casino RV Park is 6 miles west of here and infinitely better.

Pros: Fabulous market next to the rv park. Gas is right across the street and there are some good restaurant options.

Cons: Noise from trains, trucks and car alarms from the casino parking lot.

I have stayed here in the past, and this stay was typical to others. I am on a month-long "working as I go" journey of northern New Mexico, and this was a good first stop. If you are into gambling, the casino will get you your fix. The diner in the casino has great food at a very reasonable price. The grocery store has most anything you will need. As for wifi/cellular connections, I had some hit and misses. The park's wifi - signal seems fairly strong, but I didn't connect as I try not to use public wifi. This time around, I had more consistent luck with the ATT signal than I did Verizon. Over the Labor Day weekend, the Verizon signal was horrible, but much improved after that. The last time I stayed here in July, the Verizon signal was much better. Streaming with ATT was seamless, Verizon had it's moments.

Shocked at the $10 plus tax rate for full hookups. Extra-friendly and helpful staff (though some people met a "counter worker" that wasn't very energetic). Great for a one-night stop over or 2-4 day visit. We never went close to the casino though. On-site laundry and propane, but after hours, you'd have to walk to the casino for a bathroom.

Bare concrete/gravel parking lot surrounded by a block fence. Near the casino, and next to a very good, grocery store with great fresh vegetables and good prices. Close enough to hiking and touristy stuff to keep us entertained a few days. Try to stop there during the March or September feast celebrations in the nearby nation.

Across the street from the nation's 24 fuel station that has showers, quick stop, and a DQ. Some truck noise, but it wasn't loud enough to bother us.

What's the best thing about this park?

It's cheap.

For 30A/50A, water, and sewer, with pull through spots that are level at a price of $11.36, this place is awesome.

It's a small park. And the only things that are close are the casino, the casino's restaurant, a gas station, a (really nice) grocery store, and a post office. But what else do you need? There are some really nice areas to run to also. That's always cool.

So yeah, cheap. Oh, and also pretty quiet.

The RV park is just a gravel lot with spaces crammed together. There are 5 pull through spots, the rest are back in. It can be difficult to make reservations, they didn't return calls. The travel center is across the street. It's convenient to fuel up, but it is very popular with truckers coming and going all night, so don't expect a lot of quiet time.
The biggest things going for it are location and price. Full hookups with WiFi for $11, a pretty good grocery store next door, a diner across the lot and a casino if you feel lucky.
We would stay again if we were passing that way, but wouldn't go out of our way to stay there.
