Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino

We called 30 minutes ahead to see if there was an open site, as suggested by another reviewer and were told there was one spot open and we could just pull into then come check in at security. When we arrived at 1pm on a Thursday, 5 of the 8 sites were available. So calling ahead might not be the best solution if you’re looking for real time info on availability.

Fairly quiet aside from Boarder Patrol helicopters circling the nearby mountain.

Checkout is 10am. Great proximity to El Paso. Target, Walmart, ect just up the road.

Good stop at a fair price. No sewer at site, but they have a dump station on property.
Security are all helpful and friendly which is good because that’s who runs the RV park.
Drawback and reason they don’t get 5 stars is no reservations. Their procedures are either just show up and hope for an open spot or call 30 minutes before arrival and they will tell you if they have one of their 8 spots are open. In either case after you drive all day across west Texas them having a spot open out of their 8 available is a gamble, but hey, it is a casino.

Saw this place on Campendium but mistakenly thought it was accessible before entering Texas from New Mexico. If coming East on I-10, you enter El Paso and drive a few miles in before exiting and traveling south back into New Mexico before hitting the casino/racetrack/RV parking. It's only a few minutes drive and there are good gas and food options on that road too. Once you turn into the lot, you will see the 8 spots that have water and power and there is a dump station you can use in case your $hitter's full.

We rolled up pretty late on a Thursday night (maybe 11pm?) and security immediately drove up in a golf cart and gave us instructions on how and where to register for the night inside the security office of the casino. They even offered to call the shuttle to take us the few hundred feet but we declined. It's all paved and level, and there were still 4 or 5 spots available (FCFS but there is truck parking right behind these spots in case you arrived and the hookups were full, you can still park your rig for the night dry). Power was good (50/30/20) and we cooled the camper down and got to sleep. The horse race track is about 150 feet north of the sites but we left early and didn't catch any races.

We were going to sleep at one of the I-10 rest stops in El Paso or Van Horn but decided to give this place a try and it's definitely worth the $15. Looked like a good amount of people staying at the hotel and casino and we felt pretty safe there. I would recommend staying here overnight, and I wouldn't have any problem targeting this place for your overnight stop since there is plenty of overflow rig parking in case you don't get a hookup.

We parked here one night (Mar. 1) for $15. The spots were level so we could have stayed hooked up. We enjoyed watching the afternoon horseraces right from our 5th wheel and from their deck/patio. This is a quick stop off the interstates through El Paso and back into Las Cruces and not too noisy at all. There is water and electric at all 8 sites. Full Verizon bars and internet. You check in and pay at the security office in the casino with very nice people. We would stay here again.
