Tucumcari KOA

We stopped over here for a night on the way to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Easy in and out of the place from the highway and plenty of room at the site. Some interstate noise, not too bad though. The bathrooms were very clean. Our site was on the end of a row and shared a water spigot that had two adapters connected to it. It got down to 26 that night so we had to turn the main off and leave the adapters open. We had two kids with us and the playground was pretty fun, although dated. Actually, some of the equipment may have been there when I stayed here as a kid over 30 years ago! It's still pretty unique and the kids had fun on it. Pool was obviously closed!

We really enjoyed the campground. Plenty of space for our 43 footer. It is right off the highway, but we weren’t bothered by any highway noise at all. The pool was closed and we didn’t really use their facilities so I can’t speak to those, but the cafe on site was really good and it was cool to have it delivered right to us. The campground did get quite muddy when it rained though and there was a good bit of standing water, but we would definitely stay here again. Also, loved the dinosaur museum in town!

Many of the sites share a front yard. Not my ideal situation but it was only for one night. The space between sites is typical KOA standard. There are a quite of few shade trees which made it nice. There is a dinner menu with mostly pizza and sandwiches and a breakfast menu which was fairly extensive. The bathrooms were dated but were very clean during my stay. The owners were very nice and accommodating. I didn't hear any road noise or not enough for it to bother me in anyway.

Tucumcari was the first on a number of KOA stops for me through Texas. I was working during the day and driving 2-3 hours each night to get through the state. It sounds crazy, but it worked. This spot was totally decent. The staff was super sweet and let me pay for a late check out so I could work during the day. The internet was good, the bathrooms were clean (though no hot water in the shower and I didn't have time to ask them why so perhaps it was just off during the middle of the day).
I didn't get to partake in the breakfast or dinner but they offer it and I thought that was great! Well stocked store and did I mention that the staff was sooo nice?
