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

Overall Camper Rating:

A bit tight, if you are in the 40' range, but very pretty. Friendly, helpful staff! Watch out for sand bursts if you walk your dogs outside the dog park 10/20/2019

A true gem in the KOA family! The property is beautiful, and the owner and staff were all very friendly and helpful with many great suggestions for restaurants and activities. They have a delicious (free!) breakfast, and plenty of hot coffee to get your day started... 11/8/2019

We spent a long weekend at the Las Vegas NM KOA and wished we had planned for longer. There was a beautiful view, the grounds were kept clean, the staff went out of their way to be helpful, the breakfasts were hearty and priced well, and it was a short commute to town... 10/30/2019

We stayed only one night and we travel with our 4 dogs most of the time so we like to stay at KOA's because of the dog run provided... 10/30/2019

Very quiet location and great view of the night sky! Wonderful kind people and a great breakfast! 10/30/2019

We only stayed overnight, but enjoyed the short time we were there. The staff in the office were very friendly and helpful. The berry pie that we purchased was delicious. 10/28/2019

We arrived late and we found the information we needed to find our site location, the codes for the restrooms and everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We very impressed with the very clean restrooms... 10/28/2019

Their pamphlet states they give a reward for turning in people who throw cigarette butts on the ground or don't pickup after their dogs yet they have at least 3 dogs who freely roam the grounds off leash. 10/26/2019

Campfire Sweet Potatoes & Marshmallows

Add a campfire twist to a classic holiday favorite with this easy recipe for baked sweet potatoes with roasted marshmallows.

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.
