Lakes and a national wildlife refuge showcase its natural wonders.

Travelers along the Santa Fe Trail used to arrive on horseback or by wagon to this lawless frontier town, where Billy the Kid once evaded a lynch mob. Today, travelers enjoy a more civilized reception at this KOA, tucked into the pinon- and juniper-scented foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Wagon-wheel ruts, 900 historic buildings and the Fort Union National Monument highlight the area's past. Lakes and a national wildlife refuge showcase its natural wonders. Come in for our tasty breakfast buffet from 7:30 am to 9:30 am at a bargain price of only $4.50 per person. Have your reunion or get-together in the new rec hall facility. Find Southwest and authentic Indian items in the campground store. Pool: May 15 - September 15. Max pull thru: 110 feet. Your host: John Ussery

We have stayed here before so the svc was just as good this time. Would probably stay there again if in the area. 4/2/2020

I stayed during the Covid19 outbreak so some services were compromised, but we very much enjoyed our one night stay. Campground was nicely insulated from any nearby road noise. We enjoyed the hot showers and the good internet service while there... 3/26/2020

This facility was very clean and sites were groomed well. Friendly at check in even though we arrived past the closing time. Very nice and we will remember this KOA. 3/25/2020

A good place to stay. A bit rustic for it is hilly with trees and windy roads. 3/25/2020

Only problem was power outage in 20 mile radius. Made for pretty cold sleeping Power did come on during the night, so made it through a 32 degree night. 3/23/2020

Clean overall, very nice and friendly staff. Playground is pretty good. 3/22/2020

AWESOME PLACE TO STAY! 3/21/2020

Never have stayed in any camp koa that being said i wanted to stay it was the best. I didn't know we had to supply our own sheets and pillows so the lady hooked us up but we had stopped at a store and bought what we needed. I want to say thank you 3/21/2020

It was very nice. We were on our way home for the summer from our winter place in AZ before this virus got worse or got us. We enjoyed the nice and quiet environment of your campground 3/20/2020

We were traveling back from Fort Collins, CO to Phoenix, AZ, bringing our daughter home from CSU when her classes were canceled due to COVID-19. We called late in the evening to check availability and the person that answered was very friendly and accommodating... 3/18/2020

Quiet, friendly and clean. They have a great staff. We only stayed 3 nights but will return. 3/17/2020

Customer service was excellent, but the weather kept us from checking out the facilities. So this review is not accurate due to us not getting out and exploring but, from what we seen we liked. 3/17/2020

Beautiful area, great breakfast. Will stay there again when we come back to the area. 3/16/2020

Weather was not great but our site was graded just right to provide drainage away and keep us high and dry. Nice and quiet with very clean restrooms. 3/15/2020

Nice quiet koa.Does not have propane at this time. 3/11/2020

How to Make the Most Out of a Solo Camping Trip

Social distancing might just be the perfect excuse to get out and try a solo camping trip. Here’s how you can get the most out of a solo adventure in the great outdoors.

By the mid 1800's the plaza of Las Vegas Grandes en el Rio de las Gallinas (the large meadows on the Turkey River) had been laid out according to the Spanish and Mexican Custom, and the first waves of traders and pioneers had ventured westward across the plains on the Santa Fe Trail. Las Vegas, rich with history and architecture boasts a legacy of New Mexico's original architecture and is considered one of the best preserved "outdoor museums" in the country. With over 900 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, visitors can view Adobe, Folk Victorian, Queen Anne, Romanesque, Territorial, Richardsonian Romanesque, Eastlake, Italian Villa, Italianate and Folk Renaissance Revival styles.

William Becknell left Old Franklin, Missouri in September, 1821, heading west to trade with the Indians. However, in New Mexico he encountered Spanish dragoons who, instead of taking him prisoner for having entered Spanish colonial territory illegally, urged him to bring his goods to Santa Fe. Becknell quickly sold his goods and organized another expedition. thus was born the Santa Fe Trail. The largest visible network of Santa Fe Trail ruts can be seen at Fort Union National Monument.

Adobe ruins and Santa Fe Trail ruts mark what was once the largest military post in the American Southwest (1851-1891). Stroll amid the time-worn walls of Fort Union established to guard wagon trains and traders from attack along the Santa Fe Trail.

Pecos National Historic Park is a window to the past of Pueblo, Spanish and Anglo peoples whose centuries of interaction have molded New Mexico. Take the ruins trail walk (1-1/4 miles round trip). It will take you through 500 years of history . . . winding up the hill past vistas of meadows and the ancient walls that marked the boundaries of the pueblo. Take a ladder down into a Kiva that once served as the Indians' sacred place of meeting and ritual and then walk thru the ruins of two Spanish mission churches from 1625 and 1717.
