Easy access from interstate 40. Big flat gravel lot. The lots are twice the size as normal camping lots. The price was $148 for 3 nights.

The park is in transition and the improvements are obvious. The sites are gravel and level. Hook ups are all new. Sites are the widest we’ve ever seen. Love that! Full hookups at the sites.

“The worst water ever! Resort name, resort price, but not even close to being a Resort!”

Overall Rating

Water Update: Arrived at our next campground and before hooking up to park water, I decided to check on my ClearSource water filters, absolutely disgusting, these filters are only 4 days old! They will need replacing at a cost of $50. The contents of the canisters were so bad I had to drain the hot water heater and low point drains, then flush the whole rig. Thanks to this RV Park, sorry, cough, Resort. 91 campgrounds last year, never ever seen my filters so bad.
High Plains RV Park is now called Gateway to the Petrified Forest RV Resort .
So, the Pros: Easy in the from the highway, wide but short pull throughs (our truck and TT are 56ft total length) and as we were staying for 2 nights we had planned to unhitch, so no problem. For an overnight unhitched transit stop, not so good. Starlink had a clear sky view. Easy drive to PFNP.
Now, the Cons, where to start:
#1 The water, even after passing through our ClearSource Dual Canister filtration system, is salty as hell, completely undrinkable. After a long day towing, had to drive 20-mile round trip to Safeway in Holbrook to get enough drinking water for our stay.
#2 Sewer, no threaded connector (for a recently renovated park - I mean who does that!), had to get a hammer out to remove the sewer cap (which is also 10” above ground) and when I did the smell made me gag! No convenient stones to hold the elbow in place but I made do.
#3 Dog park? Nope, take them to the desert and don’t bother picking up.
#4 Dog walk? Nope, just wander around the old crushed I40 gravel campground breathing in the pungent smell of ‘Warm Crushed Bitumen in the Morning!’.
#5 Want to sleep past 7am? Nope, ancient backhoe belching diesel fumes out working and moving the derelict RVs that are everywhere.
I get that this is, as the owner states on their website and on Google reviews, this campground is a ‘work in progress’. But please, don’t charge me resort prices until you actually have a resort. We are full timers and I take the time to write reviews on almost every place we stay, but it’s been a long time since we stayed at a resort which such terrible water.

Park is in development stages. Full hookups on Gravel. Easy on off the expressway and about 20 miles to the Petrified Forest.
Good base station. Nothing at the park itself. They are in the process of building everything.
Staff was friendly.

We pulled it was a dump. Nothing but broken down RVs, very scary looking. Maybe 4-5 RVs and a tent. I would never recommend staying here. It did not look safe at all. I was very disappointed
