La Mesa RV Park

La Mesa is a small, well kept CG that is easy to access and close to a number of interesting attractions. The pull-through sites are large and level (we almost could have stayed hitched), and our utilities were easy enough to reach and worked perfectly. The park also offers back-in sites which looked a little shorter (I’m not sure we’d fit and still be able to access our garage). There is a reasonable amount of spacing (pretty normal commercial style) and some trees around the property.
During our 1 night stay, the park was quiet and Verizon worked fine without the booster. There isn’t a lot of room for walking a dog, but there looked to be nearby path that could possibly work.
The park takes cash or check, and our rate reflects the Passport America discount of $25 for one night (no reservations, but do call ahead). We would stay at this park again.

We ended up staying here after another campground in the area cancelled our reservation 45 minutes before we arrived because one of their long term rentals decided to stay longer. We chose a pull through site because it was away for the service station and car wash that other reviews had mentioned. Glad we did, I never heard the car wash unless I was outside. Some road noise. Largest site we have had in a long time. Super friendly camp host. Clean and cheap laundry area (only one washer/dryer). Bathroom was clean. Grassy area for the dog. Did not use campground internet but we had no problems with our internet or cell service (AT&T).

Pictures are somewhat deceiving. Our spkt was in the back corner (at least it felt somewhat more private), which backs onto the shipping/receiving area of an abandoned department store and the only separation is a low wire fence. Not necessarily a safety issue just doesnt give a great feeling and an eye sore.
Wi-Fi was okay at best. Only one laundry set available.
We had the passport america price ($20) which js only valid for one night. We asked if they could stretch it to 2 nights, they said no and I wasnt willing to pay $37 which is the Good Sam discou t price.

Our site backed up to a gas station with a car wash that was used more than I think I’ve ever seen a car wash used before in my life. The noise was annoying at first, but we got used to it. The laundry was fine, nothing special. Close proximity to Mesa Verde.

We actually stayed here because of good reviews on WiFi and cell service. I have to say that I don’t agree with either of those reviews (even with a cell booster). ATT and Verizon struggled (especially in the evenings, weekdays mid-day were better, but video conferencing was near impossible and my wife had to “phone in” a few times) and the WiFi upload speed was generally less than 1 Mbps, download was a tad faster, but not by much. It was decent WiFi as far as RV parks go, but not enough to make up for the spotty cell service.

3 Stars=we'd stay here again, but only if it was late and we couldn't find a better place

Pros: Location, hookups, level, nice staff...and yes, some of the nicest bathrooms we've seen
Cons: Only thing close is Mesa Verde, Terrible WiFi & Verizon [for us]

We stayed here because of location, prior ratings & needed to tap internet for work. Cell phone & data reception were between 0-2 bars, lots of dropped calls. Data was just as bad. Wifi was OK...until folks started showing up, then it too became very intermittent. If that doesn't matter to you, then this is a real nice place.

We came rolling in here after 4 corners was closed on arrival, and a BLM site had failed us. The camp host was super friendly, given the late hour, and was quick to help us get registered. The site was clean, hook ups were great, and the facilities were very clean. The hot water did run short on me, but I woke up a little late. Great park and friendly people. The park is located very close to all the stores, which was great for our needs. Also, the wi-fi was FANTASTIC!!!

Price of $21 reflects the Passport America rate.

I had great service from the front desk at La Mesa - friendly and efficient. The price with Passport America is right for a one-night stop to dump the tanks and top up on water/electricity.

Sites are very close together in this gravel lot. There are back in and huge pull through sites for the big rigs. The setup is such that we couldn't hook up water, electric, and sewer at the same time (we do not carry an extra-long sewer pipe, and sewer is inexplicably on the other end of the campsite from water and electric).

Wifi is super fast with a powerful signal. Each table has a picnic table squeezed in, but no spare room beyond that. Showers were chilly.

The campground is located close to downtown, and also close to a variety of big grocery stores. It backs up to a car wash and gas station, so gets some ambient noise at night.
