Great people, excellent park, beautiful views. This park is at a higher elevation (7000+) so it can get cold at night. We stayed overnight and it was a great stopover. We did see the Manager picking up dog poop and there was some on our site next to the utilities but that is not the fault of the owners of the park, but the owners of the dogs. Rate reflects passport discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Close to interstate highway, but very quiet. Beautiful views in all directions. We had a pull-thru and didn't have to unhook the tow vehicle for our overnight stay. Our site was so level when we lowered the jacks, we were done. Owners are great and very helpful and friendly. It's a perfect overnight stop. We would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is located on frontage road but with very little highway noise. Easy access for big rigs with level sites and a beautiful view. WiFi works good and is free. The park is owned and operated by a very friendly family. Our coffee pot went out and they made sure we had fresh coffee early the next morning. If you are in this area give them a try. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great park to overnite. Staff is super friendly and helpful. View are outstanding. All sites are level and restrooms,etc. are excellent. Would definitely stay here again. Camped here in a fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is located atop Raton Pass at an altitude of almost 8000 ft. There isn’t much to add that hasn’t been said in previous reviews. There is a nice view on back-in sites, but I preferred the pull thrus with more room. All sites are level. Cell reception, water and voltage were all good. No cable, but you can pick up several TV stations and satellite reception from any site. There aren’t any trees so access in and out and parking is easy. Shade isn’t needed at this altitude. Nice cool evenings. Bring a blanket. Rate reflects a Passport America discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
High in the mountains with lots of wildlife around, this park is a great stop for overnight or a short stay. Fifth-wheels with a view out the back will especially appreciate the sweeping views from many of the back-in sites. Management clearly cares about their park and their guests and guides each to their location. Cedar Rail RV Park is about 8 miles from town, so don’t plan to walk in for groceries. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A gem of a park. Very small, clean and a view to die for. The owners want only to please their guests and they do a fine job. The facilities are neat and well thought out. If they had a pool, I would have given a 10 We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice, extremely clean, well-maintained campground. Cleanest bathrooms/showers that we've seen in a long time! Spectacular views. Friendly office staff. We were escorted to our site. Wi-fi worked great. Campground is close to I-25, exit #460, but we didn't hear any road noise. We will stay here again the next time we are passing through the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a wonderful, small campground at the top of Raton Pass (watch closely for Exit 460 when travelling south on Interstate 25 - it's a long way to the next one if you miss it). It has a super nice staff, clean buildings, very nice restrooms, not much road noise, and fabulous views. Go up the dirt drive from the office to gravel and nice level sites. We stayed only one night but are looking forward to staying longer in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very very clean campground. Excellent views at campground since it is at the Raton pass at nearly 8000 feet. Friendly staff with escort to site. Most of the campers were overnighters...shame since there is several days worth of activity in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent campground, well maintained. The owner/managers put their hearts into the campground and it shows. Beautiful new restrooms and showers. Great views from the campground since it is at the top of Raton Pass. Very quiet even though I-25 is not far away. That is always a big deal for us. Plan to return and to set up our telescope because of the dark skies. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Right on the Colorado/New Mexico border near I25. We were parked on the cliff with a beautiful view. The sites are gravel. Only great thing is the view. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campsites are very close to each other, but are level and clean. The view is fantastic, escort to your site, still building, looks like this campground will have a great future. I would like to stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This RV Park has been undergoing a major facelift--no-make that a full makeover--in the last couple years. When we arrived, renovation of the park office reception area was in high gear, and we were escorted to our site and assisted to park. The owner has upgraded and transformed the previously-neglected property with care and attention to detail. Sites are large, level and gravel; many have 50 amps. The immaculate laundry/restroom, located in the center of the small park, has new appliances. The water supply arises from a mountain spring and tastes incredible. (There is talk of bottling it!) In-coach free WIFI is a welcome treat for the internet-deprived! The busy owner stopped what she was doing to assist me with a special request. And the view of the valley from this mountain summit is spectacular, as is the sunset. I couldn't want more in an overnight RV park! By the time I return next year, I expect to rate the "finished" park a "10" and stay longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV park has a beautiful view from the upper back-in sites. You'll see wildlife! It is at the top of Raton Pass, just off I-25, so you can hear trucks climbing the hill from some sites. Also, it's a bit winding up there. However, the new owners (three years) are making this a very nice, well-maintained park, and they are very friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites were unlevel, unimproved, campground was unkempt. Site dimensions were to center of driveway, very, very small. Definitely a Woodall rated three star. A lot of permanent residents which added to the unkempt conditions of park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
While the NRA Whittington Center is owned by the National Rifle Association, it is open to the general public. You don't need to be an NRA member to camp in this unique campground. Situated on 30,000 acres bisected by the historic Santa Fe Trail, the Center is home to a protected herd of Pronghorns which frequently visit the camp area. Located just three miles Southwest of Raton on US 64 the campsites boast splendid mountain views and prime facilities for any adult interested in shooting sports. Restrooms and showers are large and clean. Level gravel sites. A small cafeteria is located on the property. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice,Clean,Quiet,Far enough off interstate to be quiet,Close enough to be quick in and out.Close,Walking distance to restaurant. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff was extremely friendly. Not much grass. It rained and was muddy. I was in a back space and didn't get Wi-Fi. Nice quiet park. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The park is good for a overnight site. It rained very hard most the day & night, so we didn't wander around the park to check it out. We were parked near some long term sites and there was a lot of noise with them coming and going. The WiFi didn't work in the park, they told us it only works in the laundry room. The staff wished a happy trip on our way out, nice staff. We would stay here again if we need too. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground manager was exceptionally helpful in assuring that our hookup went smoothly as well as suggesting sites of local interest. This park is in town and convenient to stores and restaurants. The sites are gravel, somewhat close together but far enough from the highway to be quiet. Raton has a small but very interesting store-front museum across from the Amtrak station. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Dismal. Just an overnight site. Good 50amp and good wi-fi. Dirt, dirt, dust. And Raton has very little going to it. If only there were a nicer park nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent service, friendly staff. The hookups in the area we stayed were side-by-side, which I don't like, but these were staggered and had a wide space between curbside of RVs. WiFi had the speed of dialup but did work. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground had the nicest people running it I have come across in a while. However, as are most KOA"s, this one is simply worn out. The showers were clean, but it took 20 minutes to get any hot water, and when it came it was a mist instead of a spray, due to the worn out shower heads. The whole place was clean, but no pool, no pavement, worn out electrical boxes. The poor old campground is just plain worn out. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The park is not much to look at, but it is a really nice place to stay. The husband & wife team, are a lot of fun and very knowledgable about the area. There are a lot of things to see in the Raton area and the owners can point you in any direction you want for sightseeing. The sites are VERY easy to get into and level. The park pretty much fills up every night so during the season if you want a spot, either get there early or have a reservation. When they install their swimming pool &/or hot tub, things will be very nice. The voltage was very good and the only argument we have at all is that we could never get the WiFi to work. My computer could see it, but was never able to hook up to it. That is something that needs to be addressed since they advertise "free WiFi"! We will stay here anytime we are passing through the area! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Owners were the friendliest and most helpful I have ever seen. Within walking distance to restaurants. I would have given it a 10 if the wifi had not been so bad. Had to sit outside of the rig to be able to stay connected. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Spacious campground. Friendly staff. RV park offers basketball court, playground, arcade game room with pool table & horseshoes. Pancake breakfasts & ice cream socials are available in season & on holiday weekends. Also, cabins are available as is a laundry room & gift shop. We were passing thru Raton & the campground provided a quiet & satisfactory place to stop & spend the evening. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very nice, quiet place to stay. It is far enough from the Interstate that there is minimal traffic noice. The owners are a husband and wife team that go the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect. We enjoyed our stay and will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Raton RV Park – Raton, NM. Don’t know where to start with this campground. We stayed here on January 23, 2007. The park is located south of mid-town with entry off the main drag. Sites are small. The park is VERY tired looking and in need of maintenance. Watch for overhead obstructions from trees. No bathhouse. However…we only paid $15 for one night with full hook-ups. Before, we stayed here we went to another park in town, Summerland next to I-25 - no go. Raton is not a town where you’ll find outstanding campgrounds. We returned and spent the night at this park. Don’t expect much from this park, however, it’s okay for a night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
OK park. Earlier reviewer mentioned a restaurant across the street from the campground, however, the restaurant is now closed down. Park owners & staff are very nice & helpful! Park doesn't have a lot of amenities but it's still an ok place to stay. They do have WIFI but it wasn't working correctly when we stayed due to lightning... we were advised that we could bring our laptop up to the office porch & get WIFI but that it probably wasn't sending a signal out to the park, however, we were able to pick up the WIFI signal from our RV. Lots of trees, park is quiet & clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
