Grand Canyon Railway RV Park

The Grand Canyon Railway RV Park in Williams, AZ is a decent place to call you homebase as you tour the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff and the surrounding area. It is conveniently located right off of I40 and the historic Route 66 runs right through town. The GCRRV Park is completely paved with fairly level sites. There are full hook-up and all the amenities of the Grand Canyon Hotel are also for your use. There is breakfast buffets and 2 restaurants on site of the hotel (which is adjacent to the RV park.) The train depot is also on site which conducts rides to the Grand Canyon for $70 round trip coach. The RV park is lacking in trees (newly planted) but has magnificent views of the surrounding mountains which are full of conifers. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would return, rates are very reasonable.

KOA Central Albuquerque, NM

 The KOA Central in Albuquerque is a very convenient place to stay if you want to be close to central Albuquerque. The staff is friendly and helpful. The sites are undergoing upgrades, most all have 50 amps and most are pull-through for big rigs. Sites are paved, though in need of repair. Surprisingly, our site was completely level, we didn't need our jacks to level. Their camp store is pretty well stocked but a Wal-Mart is within 5 mi. We stayed the week before the FMCA convention and it was packed with big-rigs. The water pressure was fantastic and the electrical service fine. There is a view of the Sandia Mts. if you are not right next to the freeway wall. It is located right off of 40. Note: it snowed twice the week of March 12-22, 12" in the mts but less than 1" in town.

Carlsbad KOA, NM

The KOA in Carlsbad, NM boasts "the best in the state". The staff is very friendly and the sites are large pull-throughs and very level. There are cabins for those who do not have an RV. The camp store is the best stocked I have seen. They also have a restaurant on site that serves delicious food. It is rather pricey. This site is 17 mi north of the town of Carlsbad and the Caverns are 23 mi south. It was about a 50 min drive. Carlsbad Caverns National Park is well worth the stop. They show the amazing way the earth took shape.

Visit my website and read about all places we have visited since November.

Fort Stockton RV Park, TX

The Fort Stockton RV Park in Texas is right off of I10, perfect for an overnight stay. They are extremely friendly and have a Roadrunner Cafe on site that serves dinner and breakfast daily. It was delicious. They also serve beer and wine and sell the local wine in the camp store. They do not offer cable TV but have a slow WiFi. I recommend a stay here if it is not for a long time since there is not a lot to do in the area. Wind storms can be miserable, dust flying everywhere!

Camping World New Braunfels, TX

OK, we have been at the Camping World in New Braunfels, TX now for over a week waiting for parts. Even though they are very gracious and the space for our RV is free, I am getting very stir crazy and ready to hit the road. The outlet shopping in San Marcos is great and the parks in the area are also very nice but enough is enough!
