This KOA is being developed on the same grounds as a new LaQuinta Inn - a Sleep Inn and Denny's were nearby and of the same style architecture. All sites are rock but that's expected in the Southwest. We keep being reminded that what we think of as a level site isn't what's available - flat doesn't mean level for making sure refrigerators, etc. run correctly. The bathrooms and shower stalls were individualized and nice, but rather far from most campsites. We did not notice much road noise, but were right off I-40. They supposedly had 2 dog runs, but the longer of the two wasn't totally fenced. The young man who took my phone reservation and checked me in was less than enthusiastic about his job and was hard to understand. We camped here in a Motorhome.

IN A NUTSHELL: GO TO THE COMPETITOR Read THIS bizarre story: The 50 AMP service was not working properly. My husband went to the office to report the problem and he was told that he was lying. Yes, that’s right. No offer of a different site in the half empty park, and no willingness to even go to the power station and look at the problem. Why? Because, he said, “There are no problems with any of the electrical boxes”. I called the office the following morning, hoping to find some competence. Telling the young man who answered about the problem, (errantly thinking that someone would at least want to know about the problem in order to fix it), I asked for a refund of the difference between the price of the 30 AMP and the 50 AMP. I was told “No”. Yes, that’s right. I was told that I couldn’t have a refund of the money paid for services that they did not provide. The reason? Because, we were told, the previous day, the manager said that we couldn’t have a refund. Curious. We never asked for a refund the previous day, and we doubt that the teenager that we told about the problem was the manager of a LaQuinta property. Were they anticipating a request? Were they knowingly selling 50 AMP sites that only provide a maximum of 30 AMPS? I asked the teen in charge for his boss’ name. He said that he didn’t know his boss’ name. “You want me to believe that you don’t know your boss’ name”, I queried. “I’m a new employee”, he responded. This KOA is owned by LaQuinta Hotels, and the KOA is behind the Hotel. I asked for the number of the hotel. He laughed at me, apparently not being bright enough to think that I would walk the 100 yards it would take to make an in-person complaint. I did call the hotel, but was unsuccessful at obtaining the names of campground management or even of LaQuinta Home Office customer service operations, though I was given the name of the Hotel’s General Manager who is not associated with the KOA. The hotel eventually did get a teenager to come out and open the cover to our electrical panel, but he only stood there staring at it. He didn’t approach us to ask about the problem. He didn’t have a tester with him – the tester that is apparently used every day to test connections. He just stood there staring. We left. We will not return. I tried to inform LaQuinta Hotels Home Offices using their on-line form (the only way to reach them) but I was continually booted off their system. There is apparently no way to voice a complaint and the next sucker to be assigned site C-5 will probably have the same problem. I will keep trying though. If I can’t reach them, I will reach New Mexico’s Attorney General. We will associate different feelings to the name “LaQuinta” in the future and will tell anyone who mentions the need for a hotel to avoid LaQuinta. PS: The on-site WIFI signal wasn’t strong enough to reach our coach – 5 rows away from the hotel in this shadeless gravel parking lot. The hotel said that it was experiencing problems and that the problem was being investigated. Was the hotel telling the truth? Given our experience, I must ask: Who knows! I deserve at least 10,000 KOA points for enduring this mistreatment from them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a very clean, modern campground, with nice, clean restrooms. There is a huge laundromat on site. There are gravel camping spots. There is free coffee. The only real problem was that the campgrounds is right on the interstate, and the road noise was really loud. Also, there was no shade from the sun or privacy from being seen by interstate traffic. I wasn't given the camp site requested, even though there was no one at the site when we registered. (But, it may be that someone had reserved that particular site ahead of time - I don't know.) All you have to do is show your KOA receipt to get discounts a the Denny's next door. Overall, we would be willing to camp there again. We camped here in a Tent.

The only negative for this campground for us was that it is on the landing pattern for the municipal airport. The planes were 100 - 150 feet above us: day and night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not much can be added to what other reviewers have said about this park. Even back in the day when there was a previous owner I found the place a good stop-over, however, I didn't have a dog to poop on the ground that got the prior owner so exercised from the many reviewers that commented on being harassed over that. I certainly will use this place again if I'm traveling I-40. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The USA RV Park was one of the easiest to get to from I-40. The spaces were wide, long and level. We had space 100 that was next to the laundry that was very good. The owner was very helpful especially about local information. He provided great directions to the Hubbell Trading Post and to/from Canyon de Chelly--a trip we made with an overnight stop in Chinle in a motel. There are so many attractions around Gallup and we enjoyed El Morro, the Wolf Sanctuary, and the trip to Canyon de Chelly. A special treat was dinner at the El Rancho Motel and Restaurant that was opened in 1937. All the movie stars stayed there in the 50's-60's while filming around Gallup. The food was great and reasonable. The Gallup Visitors Center in the old train station was also great! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
