Route 66 RV Resort

We spent one night here in early April, 2020. We live in Albuquerque, and it was the middle of the Coronavirus lockdown, but were looking to just get away from the house and still be away from people. With all the state and national parks closed, we had to go commercial. Rt. 66 RV Resort is just loaded with amenities (none of which we used, thanks to social distancing). It was not crowded at this time, so we requested and received a lot well away from anyone else. Full hook-ups, all in great shape. The park is less than 2 years old, I think, and it shows. Everything is pretty much immaculate.

Service was VERY friendly and the guy led us right to the lot in his golf cart. Nice and flat. Picnic table. Fire pit. We had lovely weather so sitting out as the sun set was a nice treat.

In the morning, we walked around the whole place, and they really do have excellent amentities, all still in great shape. The pool area (not open) looks very inviting and attractive. The club house, while simple, looked very inviting. A couple of bathhouses around and a couple of dog parks. A big outdoor pavilion with a batch of grills and sinks and loads of tables in case you want to have a big party.

The casino, restaurants and hotel are all closed, of course...but if you were looking for a place to stop and eat at a decent restaurant and do a little gambling...this RV park puts you just a couple hundred yards from the casino doors. Would be fun!

We liked that this park is very well laid out, with lots of space between sites, and the amenities (bathhouses, laundry, dog park, pool) are immaculate. In this desert environment there is little landscaping but we appreciated the smattering of yucca and small trees surrounded by well groomed gravel. We felt the the angling and size of the sites provided adequate privacy despite the lack of landscaping. This is one of the few private parks we've stayed at that allowed us to reserve a specific site online by map, and we really enjoyed being on the last row facing the open desert. Our site was very level and so long that we could have fit several rigs.

Make sure you have a water pressure regulator for your hose when camping here -- water is 90 PSI which is crazy high. We have a built in regulator in the rig but lost one hose to a blowout before we realized we needed one for the hose as well. Utilities otherwise worked fine. The gate into the RV area is staffed 24/7 and we felt completely secure tucked in behind the main casino parking lot.

The location west of Albuquerque is a little outside of town but it's right on I-40 so it is easy to get into town to visit the sights or do shopping. Driving/parking in ABQ was much more annoying than the actual driving distance. There is a little bit of road noise in the campground from I-40 but we did not find it to be disturbing. Maybe being in the southern-most row helped us in this regard.

We didn't check out the casino but RV guests receive several coupons for food, drinks, and play at the casinos.

Cell service on AT&T was great: Download 41.8 Mbps Upload 38.05 Mbps.

Great site with plenty of room. Also got free play and discounted food at the casino. We stayed for balloon fest and the drive to/from fiesta park was not too bad at all. Staff are super responsive and helpful. Laundry works decent and is relatively cheap ($1.50/wash $1.00/dry). Trash pickup at site and free printing in the business center. Strong ATT service

Great sites with full hookups. Good amount of space between sites.

Nice laundry and very inexpensive in clubhouse. 3 washers and 3 dryers. All very new.

Brand new Pickleball courts. Wish we had more time.

Discount coupons for restaurants when you check in.

Free shuttle to casino. Go figure.

Trash collection at curb.

Why not 5 stars. Some freeway noise. WiFi did not seem to work.

Stayed here a second time within six months and enjoyed it even more. This time we lounged by the beautiful pool, used laundry a few times, used the game room and took advantage of the discounts at the casino. Long cement sites all level. Easy to get to hookups.

About 15 minutes from downtown Albuquerque and five minutes from a Camping World.

Will definitely come again.

This is the desert, so don’t expect lush trees. With that being said, this is one of the MOST well maintained and manicured places. We had dinner at the steakhouse inside the casino and it was good and reasonably priced. Our two kids enjoyed the pool, hot tub, pool table, and shuffleboard. Really nice people that work here too. You won’t be disappointed, especially for the price. You also have access to inside pool and gym in the casino.

I had 4 bars with Verizon and excellent WiFi
