No discounts, all sites $25. We had a 50 amp gravel / stone pull through FHU with a short cable lineup and Wi-Fi that varied. It was slow and not usable in the afternoon we arrived. We used our Verizon broadband, which was very good. Early the next am the Wi-FI was very good. We did not bother to unhook our toad as there is nothing here in town to see or do. The $25 price is high for the area which lowered our rating. But we were on our way up to Guadalupe Mtns NP and this was the closest place we could find. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice owners, they said they have had it one year. Updated the wiring, the laundry room has two washer/dryers. Checked out washrooms, clean. The showers have a stall and separate area to dress. There are about 20 pull-throughs, about half have some shade trees. They have 19 tv channels and wifi. Park has compact gravel and sites are level. The park is several blocks from freeway and just has a faint sound of traffic. The owner are obviously making improvements. We stayed here one night and would come back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

New owners and newly renovated park. Nicely laid out and easy in and out. Pull-through sites and Big Rig friendly. No amenities except Wi-Fi which was strong and worked well. Verizon 3g/5 bars..ATT Edge/3bars. Good campground, close to town. Some train noise but no traffic. We would stay here again. IMHO, the nicest park in Van Horn but choices are limited. Easy access to I-10 and several truck stops, but no fwy noise. Rating reflects consideration for the nightly pricing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is strictly a place to stay the night while traversing the state. There are no amenities to speak of and the grounds are sparse. The pads are red-gravel, flat and nicely spaced out. The manager was very easy going and told me "just go a pick a site, we're not busy". We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is what it is - a place to stop on the road. The two girls in the office were as pleasant as can be. The site was level and long enough that we didn't have to disconnect. The cable was good, the Wi-Fi was slow. It's a good place to stay while traversing Texas. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice RV park. It was clean and well maintained. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They also had two young sons who were very polite. They even had dog treats for our 2 pups. The sites were large and easy to access. There is noise from the interstate and an occasional train, but the park is still worth the stay. We would come back again. We stayed 2 nights.

Clean little park. They gave us a selection of sites to pick from. Owners helpful with info on having a tire replaced. The truck tire shop was a few doors down, and they came right over and changed tire. Sites are close, but since it isn't that busy, not an issue. There is some traffic noise, but being tired from a long drive, we slept through it. Only downfall was the pet area. It is a nice fenced in area, but there is a building attached to it, and someone lives there with big dogs. When we opened the gate, the dogs started barking and scared my smaller dog. Otherwise, great for one night. Our rate reflects a cash price, full hook-up, 50 amp. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here both coming and coming on our trip. The host was extremely cordial and helpful. Sites are level gravel, all hookups worked. The CATV only featured about 8-9 channels, mostly local. There is some noise from both the Highway 10 and a railroad. In the summer when air is used it will muffle the sound. Showers were older but clean and well maintained. We will probably stay here again. Easy access off the freeway. Older park in small town but overall a good experience. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Talk about true Texas hospitality...the office attendant was extremely friendly and helpful. As stated previously, the park was located near the interstate, so if you want easy access, then the noise is to be expected. Sites were wide and level with no problems getting in or out. Also, there was a home town grocery store near the park which had necessary supplies and some amazing buys as well. If traveling this way again, we would return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was supposed to be big rig friendly, but that must have been before some of the trees grew. We were able to finally get squeezed into a site, but avoiding the trees and have a path to pull out without backing took some effort. Some sites were only 30 amp, and others were 50. Voltage was the lowest we had experienced on our trip and needed a booster for acceptable levels. Roads and sites were both gravel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Certainly suitable for an overnight stop on a long trip if your rig is not too big. A bit expensive for what you get. We would not stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is good for overnight stay. There is convenient access to Interstate. Always leave park via rear exit! It is noisy due to local gravel trucks and Interstate traffic. If you are looking for a quiet park, go elsewhere. There is a McDonald's. Tasty & reasonable food at Chuy's, within walking distance. We stayed 3 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Intended to stay here for only 1 night, but when we went to leave we had problems with our motorhome, so had to extend for three more nights. Very nice lady in the office gave us a discount on the 3 extra nights. Well maintained park with some long pull-through sites that can accommodate a 45' Motor Home and toad. Will definitely stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy registration and manager was very pleasant. Pea gravel roads and level sites with small concrete patio and a small picnic table. CG lays between I-10 and railroad tracks but neither were a noise issue. Easy/close utility hook-up with 6 cable channels available. Site was somewhat narrow but herring bone layout gave you privacy. Price reflected Good Sam discount. Great overnight stop over and would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not fancy by any standard. An OK overnight stop. Sites are all gravel, level and hard packed. Small concrete patio at each site with a bistro size table. Trees for shade but some need lower branches trimmed be careful pulling into your site I agree with previous comment that the hook ups are far back on the sites, but I had no problem with 30 foot hose. Wi-Fi was weak and very slow, but it is free. The big negative is the freeway noise as this park is a few hundred feet from the freeway with no noise barrier. I would stop here again. Management was very friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you just need a place to stop and get off the road, this place is okay. It is not a place you will enjoy, however. It is dusty, noisy from the freeway, and over priced for what you get. No one was in the office, so self-checkin was necessary. Then it was necessary to check sites to find 50 amp service. Hook-ups are at the far back corner of the sites so, if you are in a big rig with a toad, you will need about 35' of water hose and 30' of sewer hose. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My wife and I stayed at this park last night for 29.70 cash. When we entered the office we were greeted by a large barking dog and the whole time the dog growled at my wife and I. This made us very uncomfortable. We drove to our site, which we had to find on our own. No directions given. We hooked our camper up and decided to let our small dachshund visit the pet run. The web site showed pictures of the pet run that was grassy but to our surprise there was only one patch of grass and the rest was dirt and stickers. The pictures on this web site for Eagles Nest RV Park show grassy tent areas, pet run, etc. But we could not find much grass anywhere in this park. The trees and bushes looked like they haven't been watered in a while. There were an abundance of dead trees and bushes through out the park. In the bathrooms, there was no soap in the dispensers and they were not clean. We decided to do a load of laundry while we were here. There was mud all over the floor in the laundry room and tree debris inside and outside of the washers. The Wi-Fi would not stay on. I went to the office and was given some hum drum excuse about the Wi-Fi. Nothing was done about it and we had no internet for our stay. I talked to the campers beside us and they were having problems as well. There was only 6 channels for the so called cable TV which were the local stations from El Paso, Texas. We will not be staying here again. It's not worth the money. We could have stayed at the rest area right outside of town and had more than what was offered at this park. No receipt was given and we paid cash. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A basic park and OK for the price. RV rates should probably be lower for what is available. Gravel roads make it very dusty and dust gets into engine compartment (diesel pusher). We stayed here twice, once going east and when returning back west. There is not much choice in this town on RV parks. New owner who says he will be making many improvements in the future. We did use the laundry and found it just OK. Did not check the showers or restrooms. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park has easy on and off access to the I-10. You do get the sounds of trucks going by. The sites are pull-throughs, have a nice width and some have shade trees. The park is hard pack dirt and gravel. Sites are fairly level. Wi-fi works great. There is a laundry, bathrooms and a fenced doggie run. We have stayed here before; great for over night.

This is a great one nighter on the way somewhere else. It's a small, older park but very well kept with very level spots and pull throughs that are long enough for big rigs with toads. The managers are extremely nice and gave us advice for places to eat further down the road. Van Horn is very small and pretty limited so don't look for lots of restaurants. In late March the trees were just starting to get leaves, but when they do there will be nice shade. The Wi-Fi is slow and iffy but otherwise a very nice place. I gave it a 7 mainly because of the managers, good Texas folks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice enough RV Park. Some road construction makes getting on the right road from I-10 a little tough. Upon arrival the manager met us at the check-in point (it was dark at 7:00pm), helped us fill out the registration papers and then showed us to our site. Site was long pull through, level gravel, little narrow. Once again utilities are all bunched up too far from where they need to be. By the time I got the rig and the toad into the site (out of the road) I barely had enough cable to reach the shore power. Same way with the water hose. Forget the sewer hose, I was about 20 feet short. Setup was quick and easy. Received my Good Sam discount. Cable TV is available, 6 channels. Wi-Fi is available but unusable. Tried my ATT Air Card, nothing. I was in an area that could not receive data? If I didn’t need the internet, we would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Actually not a bad place for such a remote Texas location. The sites are long and not too close together. Each site has a small concrete pad and small wood table. The park is clean. Laundry: 3 washers, 4 dryers, $1.50 each. The park is located between the interstate, with a high volume of truck traffic, and the railroad, with frequent trains, it is very noisy. The park was offering a special: stay 2 nights and get the 3rd night free.. We would stay here again only for an overnight stop. Free Wi-Fi but very weak and slow. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here one night on our way to New Mexico. This campground is very clean and neat with mostly gravel roads and sites. Our site was level enough that we didn't have to unhook for our one night stay. There are shade trees and scrubs between most sites and plenty of room between sites for our slides and awning. The manager was pleasant and gracious. Our dogs loved the pet playground where they could run off-leash! We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We pulled in here on a Saturday for a 2 night stay since we were having electrical problems with our motorhome. The owner was very nice and very helpful. He recommended a mechanic who came to our site right away and fixed our problem. The sites are all dirt, but are shaded and level. The owner had assigned us a site, but told us to take another site if we found one that was shadier. The park is nothing fancy, but makes a good overnight stop. It is quiet and easy access.

I've used this park for a number of years for a 1 night stop over when traveling through West Texas. The new owners seem to be trying to keep things up but probably will need to keep an eye on things. The sites are all gravel / sand with easy access pull throughs. Not a place for a long term stay but OK for the over night stop. Next time through I will probably try the KOA in town which seems to have more facilities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Definitely an overnight park only. The owner was very grumpy – but friendly. Men’s bathroom was awful – women’s OK. Very, very low flow shower heads. Our one main problem – there were only two RV’s on our row. One was ours and the other was right next to us. A person from a row behind us decided that he wanted to go to the bathrooms. So, he walked between our site and the camper next to us. He even had to turn sideways to get between our slide out and a tree. He did this as we were still setting up. Person had no concern for us and our privacy or spot. I guess we were just in his way. By the looks of this person’s RV (A Mexican National and several others all living in one small trailer), it would appear that they were long-term residents. I guess that gives them extra privileges. There were plenty of empty spaces on our other side or on the other side of the camper next to us. I guess us overnighters are just an inconvenience to the permanent people. Because of this, we laid awake all night and left very early as we could not sleep. Sites were level but all dirt. Be very careful leaving park as you will scrap your bottom – we watch several do this. I could only get the Wi-Fi to work at 3:00am. Not much in town and pricy for what they offer. Would NOT stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate is with Good Sam discount but the man that checked us in said they would not be a Good Sam park for much longer. The fenced in dog run is full of stickers so watch your pets. The "cable tv" was good but offered only four total channels. The wifi had a terrible signal and we could not get a connection. We stayed only one night so it was not a big deal. Not much within walking distance to this park. It works for a night but we would not want to spend much longer in Van Horn. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites are all pull-throughs with little concrete patios with little warped picnic tables but like I said for an overnight stop it's OK. We had no problems at all getting our satellite. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed here numerous times over the years. New owners took over in April are are certainly making headway in improvements. WiFi was great and password is printed on brochure of park. We would like to mention previous complaints regarding those who drive through this (and any park) without first stopping at the "Stop" sign and checking with the office. As guests in parks we most definitely appreciate the security of stopping all who enter a park. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to over night or for a couple days. Easy access off I-10 and exit 138 in Van Horn, Texas. All pull thrus with FHU’s no need to unhook. Free WIFI just ask for network key when checking in. New owners April 10, 2007. Showers, Laundry very clean. Small activity center with tables, games and stage. Nice area for dog walk. Several eateries in walking distance if you don’t want to cook after a long drive or 9 hole Mountain View Golf Course within a mile of the RV park to stretch your legs. We have stayed here in the past and will return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Only stopped for an overnight stay, but would definitely consider CG for longer stay. Owners ere attentive, but based on other reviews definitely concerned about the safety of the people in the campground. It is clear to stop at the office before entering and based on conversation with owner they will jump all over you for not doing so. We will definitely stop here again.

"WHAT THE H*LL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" was the greeting we got from the owners of this park. We stopped in Van Horn due to an ice storm. The first exit we came to had a campground so we went to check it out. My husband stopped our 2005 motorhome by the entrance while I drove in the park in our Lexus SUV to check out the park to make sure it was a safe park for us and our 3 children before registering. We drove in and then on the way back out the owner and her daughter jumped out of nowhere wearing black in front of the SUV scaring us to death. After that disturbing greeting (above), the daughter continued to block us (it appeared she was packing a gun in her pocket)while her mother lectured us on driving past the registration office (the office was dark and closed). This is the Bates Motel of RV parks. Do not even slow down near this park. We ended up staying at the KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good overnight stop on Interstate 10. We've stayed there twice. Gravel sites, with shade when the sun gets low. Everything worked fine, and registration people picked a site for us that would be easy to navigate with a 40-foot motorhome with toad. Spaces are long enough that you don't have to unhook the toad, and Chuy's Mexican restaurant is within walking distance. Play area in front had a basketball goal. It's located away from all the sites, so we could shoot guilt-free hoops because the noise wouldn't bother anybody. We camped here in a Motorhome.

On the contrary to some of the other posts, I would like to say how much my wife and I enjoyed this park. First off, there is a big sign saying, "Please check in at the office". It's very hard to miss that. My wife and I are retired and it was nice to stay at a campground that was concerned with our safety. We stayed for three nights and saw them stop one car. They didn't lock the gate or chase them down, it was more of a wave as they were exiting the grounds. Being in an unfamiliar town it was nice to see someone watching out for their customers. Overall the park was very clean, and it was nice to have some shade in Texas. All the workers were very nice and helpful. We got our dog washed by a nice young lady, and much to my wife's objection had a large piece of cake that the owner baked. (Yum!) We camped here in a Motorhome.

My husband & I wanted to preview this park for future; made the mistake of driving thru with our tow vehicle (without first stopping at the Front Office) & found 2 people blocking our exit; got a stern lecture on trespassing on private property; I had flashbacks of Deliverance but chatted to try to bring down the tension; left with her offer to come back for their "Special" and they're looking for Workampers, too! Sorry, Dear - not even. If we missed out on any other great things about this park, we'll never know because I was scared witless by the welcoming committee! We won't be back with our RV.

Stay away from this park. If you want to view the park beforehand I guess you need an invitation because they will stop you at the gate and harass you. There is no wireless internet, The signal is from a hotel next door and of course that is stealing. Limited room to get in and out. All and all a terrible park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Avoid this park! It is hazardous to your safety, and this has nothing to do with park facilities. We drove in with our car to see if it would be better than the park we were in, and without stopping at any time we turned around to leave. As we passed the office three people jumped IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I stopped and a woman stood in front, touching the front bumper, telling me if I moved she was going to "sue for assault". Another person closed and locked the front gate to further prevent us from getting out of the park. The Sheriff was called at my request. The campground filed an assault charge -- and I countered with "unlawful restraint". We were delayed in Van Horn for a court appearance, and finally told by a Sheriff's Deputy to go ahead and "just leave". Besides the aggravation, the safety issue was that if any of the three who jumped in front of my car had a weapon I would have run over them. That would have been a homicide investigation -- for just looking at a campground. Do not patronize this park! In fact, I will never stop in the county (Culberson) again.

Each bath room/shower room was a single room with a toilet, sink & shower & enough hooks. If you needed to sit the commode with the lid down (standard like you have at home) was the seat. Very clean.

Very enjoyable campground, even though only overnight. The sites are spacious, long, and level. Easy off/on to I-10, and it's quiet at the site - nice. The campground has new owners who are endeavoring to upgrade the facility. I watched some of their busy industry....Dinner was had the hotel "El Capitan" in Van Horn. Pay attention to the architecture - it's notable. I'm partial to Italian food and the Rigatoni was excellent. Good salad and wine as well. The campground owners will ferry you to the hotel and bring you back - very nice of them. We'll return to this facility as we travel west/east. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We picked this park because it was near the freeway. Very little freeway noise for being so close. The park is under new management and they are working on improvements and upgrades. We did have some low power issues but it was handled. The owners are very nice and accommodating. They did recommend a restaurant, the Van Horn Cattle Company. It was an excellent place--good food and very reasonable. The park has room for big rigs and is easy to get in and out. We will camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

They said not yet, but they would give me a $5 discount anyway. Nice long level gravel sites. A large pine tree in-between each site provided some shade, but does not obstruct satellite signal.

She was very knowledgeable about the area and had great suggestions for good places to eat and places to see. The laundry and bathrooms even smelled clean, and this is the first RV park we have stayed in that the dryers actually dried the clothes, and for only $1. The Wi-Fi worked well and so did the cable TV. It is only a few blocks to gas/fuel/groceries/restaurants and a very easy on and off of the freeway.

Very sweet lady at the front office, and park is easy to find. We were parked right next to office building and the internet signal was so poor it was unusable.

The park basically looks like a gravel parking lot with hookups, although there are trees and the sites are reasonably wide pull-throughs. The office staff was very pleasant, helpful, and friendly. The convenience of location right off the Interstate make it an excellent overnight stop. We didn’t use the on-site laundromat, but it looked very good. Our internet was pretty bad, but they are in the process of improving the park, so that may change. There are lots of places to walk a dog, but the abundant burrs, even on the gravel roads, made that walk unpleasant. Not a place we’d want to stay for any length of time, but we’d have no hesitancy to stop there again for an overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very good campground as noted by other posters. Fine points are the cleanliness in a mature campground and the staff. The showers could use a small foot stool or bench to help one dress. Cable TV was marginal but WI-FI was top notch. We were allowed to select any site we wanted, in our 30 Amp price range. The absence of a 2 page Rules and Regulations document was refreshing. Fee is for a 30 Amp site with a $5 discount with some type of travel card. We will stay here again for an overnight visit. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is no longer RV'er friendly. A new owner purchased the park in July 2010 and no longer honors any club discounts. Minimum charge for an overnight stay is $30. The park is still advertised in several club directories. The camp host stated that the new owner didn’t care. He doesn’t know anything about RV parks. This is his first one, and he had it written in the purchase contract that he didn’t have to honor any past park commitments. With the isolated location the park gets lots of RV'ers from the club directories. Then in a classic bait and switch, the host must tell you, in the case of Passport America, it is now $20 more to spend the night or you can go another 80 miles on down the road and find someplace else.

This place is a dump. New ownership does not equate to "new facility". Right on the interstate exit, I do mean eastbound exit, one could if they did not know the exit in the park, turn west and head into oncoming interstate traffic. Very dusty. Self check in, but very confusing. Sign says, $30 for 30A and $35 for 50A, none of the sites are posted for what the amperage is. Also on the sign says something about no water, no sewer deduct $12, so we paid $20, as we were in a 50A site and don't like to use the 50A so we used the 20A plug. Short time later the host arrives and says this is a $35 site, I try to tell him that I am plugged into the 20A receptacle and will not be hooking up to sewer or water. He says "the new owner gives no discounts" instead of arguing I pay him $30, that is good. Restrooms are not clean. Good Verizon/motosat. Did not use the Wi-Fi. We will not be staying here again.

This is a very difficult campground to review. It appears to be suffering low maintenance, as the sites and facilities not kept up, nor are they particularly attractive. Electrical connections on about half sites seem non-functional. There is no one in the office; one leaves the money in an envelope. On the other hand, there is plenty of room, and since there are few customers, one can have a spacious site. This is a Passport park (although not listed in the book), so the price is pretty good. We did not use the restrooms, so I have no idea what shape they were in. Bottom line: the price was right and this was quieter and more pleasant than a Wal-Mart parking lot.

This park gets a 2 rating because it has long pull-thrus and tall pine trees. We pulled in because of the wind storm while driving, so decided to stay 2 days and catch up on laundry. The office was closed so I put a check in the envelope and placed it in the slot. After setting up in the first site the electric went out. We used another power outlet on the next site. The electric amps were so low that I could only use the air conditioner. I couldn't use the electric hot water or the refrigerator. So much for doing laundry. I kept going back to the office to see if any body was working so I could get my money back for the second day. No one ever showed up for both days. The park is for sale. Hope someone with big money comes in and helps this place get back on it's feet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the very worst. We had to move over to the KOA in Van Horn to spend two more nights due to severe wind event in the area. The electricity was really funky on our 30 amp connection; I don't know if there are any 50 amp sites in this park. We couldn't find any. Don't plan to use your microwave or convection oven here. This park gives Passport America's already dubious reputation an even more tarnished reputation. I believe I will dump Passport America and join KOA's travel club. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We paid $12.50 with Passport America, otherwise it's $25.00. Yes, there are mountain views. That is why we gave it at least a rating of 2. This park has a For Sale sign in front. No one was in the office from 2pm through the next morning. The ad states rallies welcome with a large rec room. The rec room was filled with junk. It looked like a few garages were cleaned out & put in there. We could see it though a opening in the wall when using the bathrooms. The rec room was not accessible. The ladies room had a toilet broken, no toilet paper, no paper towels, the waste can was spilling out onto the floor, and was filthy. The shower rooms were dirty but at least had toilet paper. Above all, we had a 30A site and couldn't use anything but lights. The voltage was very low. We had to use our inverter to use the microwave. People pulling in were scurrying around trying to find 50Amp sites or at least usable 30Amp. Some sites had an "X" on the electric post but other that didn't had poor power. We don't know if the WiFi worked. We didn't try. One night was more than enough. This park could be a very pleasant place if it were kept up. Even though it's along the frontage road of I-10, the openness of the surroundings made the noise tolerable. We will not return to this park and we will let Passport America know of its condition.

We stopped here for an overnight while traveling. The Electric was low and flucuated from below 108 to about 112 volts. We parked way in the back, and were happy for the quiet site. Many Pecan trees in this park. We picked many off the ground. They were tasty. We would stay here again but hope they fix up the power. Had supper at Chewey's restaurant in downtown Van Horn. Great food and pleasant surroundings. Fried Chicken to die for. John Madden's Hall of Fame. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good park for an over night stop. Passport America rate is $13.50 good for one night. Easy on/off from I-10. Sites are long enough to stay hooked-up. Trees between each site. Very large park so lots of space with wide interior roads. Far enough back from the highway to have only minimal noise and train seemed far in the distance. WiFi worked great but cable TV did not work at our site. Only a few 50 amp sites available. Our 30 amp electricity had low voltage. Many sites are closed due to electrical problems. Ground cover between sites contained small stickers so our dog could not walk around. Had to walk him on gravel road to grass along front of park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is fine for a one night overnighter. Very large pullthrough sites make entering and exiting a breeze. We checked in at 3:00 p.m. and left at 9:30 a.m. the next day and didn't see anyone in the office or any workkampers whatsoever. The $10 rate is Passport America. If no one is in the office when you check in, be sure to go to the front entrance and use the park layout plan to pick a site...not all are 50 amp, if that's needed, and some sites are Xed off because of faulty electric.

We stopped at the KOA and they were nice when we ask for directions to Mt View RV Park. Their rate, by the way, was $28.50 less 5% for Good Sam Members. Mt View RV Park looks just as nice and my PassPort price was $10. Easy pull thru FHU sites, free WI-FI, cable, & 50 amp. I was in hog heaven. Wish this place was everywhere I go.

Checked in and hooked up to electric and then discovered that my electric appliances were not operating at full charge, i.e. my tea kettle would not perk and microwave was not rotating at full speed. I spoke with the person who checked me in and she said there were no other complaints. I didn't know what to do, as in checking other sites those currents appeared low also. The owner then came over and with great hostility confronted me, never asking me for information, accusing me of causing trouble. He grabbed my hand and placed a 'wad' of money in it and told me to leave. He said there electric hookups were fine and asked what kind of 'five and dime' gadget was I using to check their system. I tried to explain to him about my appliances but he continued to not listen and yell at me. I have traveled for over a year in an RV and have never been treated with such abuse. I am a volunteer campground host in a national park and would never treat someone as I was treated. I moved next door to the Van Horn KOA and was treated wonderfully. MY RV electric system is working just fine here! Mtn. View obviously has wiring problems! And a very hostile and rude owner. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Used Passport America for the great price. Park is right off I-10 so expect some noise but the surrounding mountain beauty more than made up for the traffic! Extra large sites allowed my 58 foot rig to park and get in and out with no problems. Extra wide roads, nice small gravel surface and level sites made this a nice camp. Mostly passing through type one night travelers. Would definitely stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here one night while traveling through. Very large level gravel sites -- large enough to leave our HDT, 38' 5th-wheel, and Jeep all hooked up together. Very wide streets and wide sites. Beautiful desert setting. Very clean and well maintained. Easy to get in any of the entrances (there are at least two), and easy to get into big diagonal sites. Although WiFi is advertised, we were unable to get anything but a very weak signal. I would have liked to stay longer, but we had a deadline to be in Arizona. Will definitely go back there if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was actually our second stay at this park about a week apart on our trip from Tucson to San Antonio and back. The staff were very friendly and helpful and even guided us to our site. Both sites were very level and just the right size for our 36' TT + tow vehicle. The on-site restaurant was quite good as well and even delivered our food to our camp site when we asked for a "to-go" plate. We'll stay here again for sure. Our rate reflects a discount coupon as the normal rate is $38. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

An older stop over campground located adjacent to a I-10 in rural Texas desert. We have stayed here before and the owner makes improvements each time we come back. Limited grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants in the immediate area, campground has store and restaurant on site with beer, wine, milk bread etc. Very friendly and helpful staff that escort you to your site. Owner is on site and very helpful. Older clean well maintained restrooms, swimming pool and laundry room. Well maintained park . Small stocked fishing pond . Pet friendly for friendly pets. Hard packed gravel interior roads. Level gravel sites with some grass and trees between . Average space between sites . Picnic table at each site. Lots of room to maneuver in the park with long pull through sites. Good access to utilities and all worked properly. Good cable selection . Good free Wi-Fi and good Verizon data and cell coverage.

We stayed here one weekday night the second week of October. Only 25 or so sites were occupied and some of those were extended stay customers. None appeared to be permanent residents. We had a FHU, pull-through site that was satellite friendly, with 40+ channel cable TV, WI-FI that worked OK for us. Most sites in the park fit that description. About 50 sites are 30/50 AMP and the rest are just 30 AMP. The sites are decent size but longer units may have to unhook. There are also 8 tent sites plus a group site and a couple cabins. There is a small, but deep, in ground pool (already empty for the season) that does not appear good for little kids (shallow end is 4'). There is also a playground, pet run, and fishing pond. There is a KOA cafe that serves breakfast and dinner. The park is a quarter mile south of the I-10 exit and about half a mile from the center of town just north of the exit.

Driving east on I-10 in West Texas there aren't a lot of options once you leave El Paso, and we found those unappealing. We had enough daylight left to push on to Van Horn, and were surprised and pleased with what we found at the Van Horn KOA. Hosts were pleasant and accommodating. They serve a decent dinner on site with beer and a local wine (St. Genevieve) on offer. WI-FI signal was consistently strong (and free, as was the cable TV). Restrooms were dated but clean. Fenced pet area was a welcome addition. We wound up spending an extra night to wait out some severe weather that passed through towards the east. In all, we were not disappointed with this KOA. and would stay here again as an overnight option for the I-10 drive. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed here for 1 night in a pull through site. Campground elevation is 4,300 feet. Maneuvering my 40 footer towing a dinghy was no issue. Roads and sites are gravel. The patios are grass & gravel, and edged with landscaping timber. Sites are large, very level, and spacing is good. My site offered 30/50 amp service & full hookups. WI-FI and cable were included in daily rate. Their WI-FI is very slow. I was able to receive AT&T Wireless G2 Internet & Cellular service. I received Dish Network 110/119 Satellite TV from dish on roof of motorhome. Campground is pet friendly. Walmart is 90 miles away and a grocery is 2 miles away. They have a restaurant open in the mornings and evenings. I did not eat there. I am unable to comment on other amenities due to not using them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We very rarely stay in a KOA due the high price and few amenities that very few adults use. This was no exception.

It seems like KOA's are the most expensive of all campgrounds, and this was no exception. The camp hosts were very friendly at check-in and the pull through site was more than adequate. It was very level and all utilities were readily accessible. The basic landscaping was a gravel lot, but more than adequate for a single night's stay.

This KOA was an overnight-only stop for us. It's an older KOA that the management is upgrading. Parts are still quite old and need service. However, they are very friendly and offer large pull-through sites for the biggest rigs. We're a 45' quad-slide motorhome towing a Jeep. The sites and roads are gravel and dirt and you'll get a little dusty: but this is Texas and expected. There is a nice pond developed to the rear of the park and two dog walks. If you need to stop down in this part of Texas this park is an acceptable waypoint. They have a small cafe in the office area and a cook up a mean breakfast and dinner for guests who wish to dine on-site, or take-out back to their RV. This was a plus for us us because we were exhausted when we pulled in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed at this KOA before and always had the same site but this time they wanted to put us in a site that our tow vehicle would have a hard time fitting. Of course the office was closed, as usual from around 10 - 2 pm. We were lucky the owner was around: he parked us where we usual park. He could not understand why they would have assigned us the site they did, but in the end he is responsible for his staff, so their actions reflect his KOA. The cafe was closed for dinner, this did not make sense either. You have weary travelers who are hungry but no: No eating here! Rate includes KOA discount and taxes. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate reflects premium for 4 adults and discount for KOA card. I agree with recent reviews. We stayed overnight and found clean washrooms and showers. We registered after hours with no problems. Someone came by to make sure we were okay. Large sites - easy for us to drive through even with our 41ft Titanium. I was unable to gain access to the wi-fi - but maybe that's my issue? Easy off and on the highway. Only minus for us was we heard roosters early in the morning, and dogs barking most of the night - the chickens are local but the dogs belong to other campers - the camp can't help that.

Our kids were thrilled with the playground and mini golf, which were a nice treat for them after spending 8 1/2 hours on the road. The sites are roomy and level with picnic tables. The view of the mountains all around is beautiful. They even have a Kafe that serves dinner and breakfast, and they will deliver it right to your site. I was surprised that the price was so reasonable compared to some other KOA's we have stayed in. This KOA doesn't charge extra for kids under the age of 12. It definitely goes on our favorites list and we will stay here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Boy! I thought the Tall Pines KOA outside of Dayton, OH, was my favorite KOA, but I was wrong! In Texas, there's no place like the Van Horn KOA on I-10! Friendly, well-trained staff that obviously likes what they do, make any length of stay worthwhile, I'd think: but a one-nighter will leave you wanting to spend more time there. We didn't only because it was too windy to take advantage of their offer to play golf on them at a course nearby. The food was five star, if the menu was short (but not limited at all. They had fish, chicken pork, and beef to offer, along with your favorite beverage: and a great opportunity to kick back with fellow travelers and tell lies and swap experiences RVing. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening here, and won't miss the next opportunity to repeat it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If I could, I would rate this camp ground 6 1/2 stars. It's a great place to stop for the night if you're looking to stop somewhere between El Paso and San Antonio. It's essentially a dirt lot with full hookups, including cable TV and Wi-fi. The dead grass had sharp thorns in it that bothered both the kids and the dogs. The putt-putt golf has seen better days. That said, the hosts/staff were friendly and helpful. They allowed us to pull in and set up prior to checking in so I didn't have to set up in the dark. The sites themselves were level and everything, including the Wi-fi worked great. The diner which others have reviewed so well was pretty disappointing. They only had about 6 items on the menu and the price is steep for what you get. There were some permanent residents spread throughout the park, but all the RVs were in good condition, and we never saw any of the residents. Overall, it’s a good stop for the night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Although this is a bit scruffy around the edges, we liked this park. It was quiet, level gravel, and had a nice cafe open for dinner with real food, not just burgers and fries. The people were very friendly. The spaces were large. Although we are only 30 ft long, there were 60 ft long RVs that had enough room. Pretty scenery. Has mini-golf and a clean pool. WiFi was slow.

Friendly staff. Very level and long sites. Good Wi-Fi and cable. Would have given a higher rating if it had not been for the roadways which are not gravel. There are just dirt and extremely dusty. Some of the permanent resident construction workers who live here, seem to think the speed limits don't pertain to them and cause vast dust clouds that blow all over and through everyone else's RV. Would probably not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is another average KOA. It is nothing fancy but a good overnight stop. BUT, the Kafe was a different story. They have an onsite Kafe for dinner and breakfast. We had jumbo butterfly shrimp for dinner and it was the best ever. This place is worth the stop if nothing else but the Kafe. Also the mats in the showers are a nice touch. I wish more parks would use these. I hate stepping out of a shower onto a wet floor. We would stop here again if for nothing else but the KOA Kafe. Verizon wireless worked okay here.

You have to remember when you leave NM there is not a lot of options until you get to San Antonio on I-10 going east. It is an adequate place to stay. We have stopped through many times and this time the cafe was open (2nd time out of 8 stops). They do dinner and breakfast. They installed a 'booster' or something so the wifi is MUCH better than the last time we were here (July 2010). Cable is OK, water pressure awesome. Spaces OK, just grass but not piled on top of each other like a lot of parks. I just wish KOA would reduce their prices as they are the most expensive of all parks. I guess the free Wi-Fi and cable contributes to that. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The only good thing I can say about this campground is that it offers full 50 amp hookups, including cable and Wi-Fi. Beyond that it is old and nothing to look forward to. It is simply a large field covered in gravel with hookups. If there are shaded sites, I didn't see them. Like most KOA campgrounds, they think there is something special about their park and they can charge more. I think $35 for this location is outrageous. Problem is, if you find yourself here and need to spend the night there just aren't many better choices. I will plan future trips to bypass this location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a good RV park for an overnight stay when traveling east or west on I-10 in West Texas. While there are several other options in Van Horn, this appears to be one of the better ones and there are few other choices other than the Van Horn area in this region. The check in was friendly and efficient. The grounds are in good condition. There was a very strong wind when we arrived and it lasted all night, but that certainly not be blamed on the RV park. We had breakfast at the on-site cafe. That was very handy and the food was good. We would return if travel arrangements required another stay in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The sites are the usual KOA set up. They are all gravel, but level. Mostly over nighters on their way east or west on I-10. Not as noisy as other near the Interstate KOAs, even though the railroad is nearby. I think the trains are going by so fast that you don't get much rumble. The big plus, is the staff and the cafe. Really nice people and the food is great even if at twice the price. Would stay again when driving the long trip between San Antonio area and El Paso. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was very nice, and the services were good, but this is still just a plain, unadorned KOA. It met our needs very well, but I can’t give it many points for appearance. It wasn’t trashy—just not very attractive. We understand this is West Texas, but a little desert landscaping would improve it quite a bit. (It looked much prettier in its website photos when the trees and grass were green.) The roads and sites are gravel. There is a table, but no grill. The utilities were fine; the cable was good with lots of channels; the Wi-Fi was strong. We were only here for an overnight so there were some amenities that we did not see or use. The price seemed a little high, but we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here on our way to Arizona, we didn't even unhook from the truck. From our short visit we can say that their cable and Wi-Fi were very good. Sites were easy to get in & out of and ample long. Our rig, including the truck, is just under 60'. We had no power issues, seemed to get the correct amount of power from the pole. We filled our propane bottles here and their rates were pretty reasonable: $24 for 30lb bottle. I honestly felt $35 for just an overnight stay was a bit high but you don't get many options out in the middle of now where. Not many more choices past Van Horn until you get to El Paso.

The sites were very level gravel and we noticed that the staff was placing people in every other site so as not to be right next to one another. Which was very nice when they were not completely full. The cable TV and wireless internet worked very well, and we also discovered a very nice small restaurant right on the premises.

This campground is very nice for an overnight stay. Sites are level and plenty of space between sites. The management provides a printed "Welcome" sheet which states that they are on the edge of the desert and sometimes the cable TV works and sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes the Wi-Fi works and sometimes it does not. Well true to their statement, the cable system provided poor reception on some channels and good reception on others. The Wi-Fi came in and then was lost. I guess that is ok because we are warned in advance? I find it an odd way to do business. After all: are they not paying for a service that they are not receiving, and then passing that cost along to their customers? If you are interested in cable TV or Wi-Fi, this is probably not the place to choose for your stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

On the up side when I showed up there were plenty of spots open and the staff was very friendly. The rate reflects my KOA Value card. Sites were wide enough for our 39' with slides and although there wasn't much in the line of vegetation it made a perfectly good spot for an over night stay. I would stay here again anytime we are in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A typical dry West Texas Campground with limited vegetation but it does have very long, level pull through sites, good ingress and egress, and strong free wi-fi. Better than the average KOA and well worth the money. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have stayed here two or three times a year since 2001. The owner is retired military from FT Bliss. I have watched him work this place over for 5 years. I have always loved the area and plan on staying at this park for a couple of months next year after I get straight with the VA. The place is always clean. The owner is always doing something. He was so proud when the wireless was put in. The cable sometimes is bad. But, that's life in the desert. No good grounds equal no good TV. Nice little camp store and the cafe serves some pretty good food. I love it when they bring dinner to your trailer. All in all, I cannot recommend this place any higher. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

One of the nicest KOA's we've stayed at. Really friendly and accommodating staff, great view of the mountains and a nice little restaurant to boot. If you're driving through Texas, this is a great place to stop for a night or two. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. They offer an on site cafe that has a dinner menu and breakfast menu. Sites are large spacious and level. Propane is available. Very nice and well kept park. Easy off of I10 and park is quiet. Would certainly stop here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Good for an overnight stay. Staff went out of their way to be helpful to everyone when an ice storm closed I-10 for part of the day. We elected to stay over even after highway opened. Small cafe is a bonus. Would use again when traveling in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a "lifesaver" park, we had just left San Antonio and had to go to Tucson, but that was not feasible in one day. Van Horn was a pleasant spot to stop for one night. The Staff was really pleasant and helpful in getting us situated. The sites are easily accessible and adequate spacing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camp at this park twice a year in June and August on our way to and from California. The owner is so helpful and friendly and the park is maintained to perfection. We esp. like the clean pool and watching the many rabbits which explore the area. The Wi-Fi works perfectly too. We were sorry the KOA kitchen was closed for the end of the summer as the meals in the past have been delicious. Looking forward to our stops next summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park appeared to be clean and well laid-out, but we never got to explore it as it was infested with blood-hungry mosquitos. We got one jack down before our skin lit on fire and we dove for the repellent. We managed to get power and water hooked up (forget about sewer) and then dove into the trailer, where we spent the rest of the night taking care of indoor duties and swatting vampires. We dearly wanted to shower off the repellent, but didn't dare. It was a very itchy and uncomfortable night, and the morning departure was only slightly less uncomfortable. If the owner would spray his campground my rating would surely have been a lot higher. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our very first camping experience and we had a great time - thanks to the owner. He went above & beyond - even to the point of getting his computer guy from town to help me get my PC internet settings straightened out. If we have the chance, we'll be by again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I gave this park a 10, because everything advertised WORKED and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Owner is considering putting in a hot tub, as the pool was clean and cool. The wifi was excellent considering I was put in a corner supersite that had a fire ring and nice picnic table. There is little noise that you can hear outside, but inside the RV, we didn't hear anything. I would definitely stay here again. An oasis in the desert. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was ok. It was definitely away from the road and railroad tracks, so the noise was down. However, it was really close to the city dump or sewage plant. Maybe the wind was just blowing in the wrong direction, but my wife and I couldn't sit outside the night we stayed. I might stay again...but would have to bring a nose plug. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Convenient to I-10, but very little road or train noise. Helpful, friendly staff at check-in. Long, level, wide pull-throughs, and wide interior roads; can stay hooked-up for an easy morning exit. Good voltage, and water pressure; and FREE, fast WIFI. Good stopping point between middle Texas and points West. A little more expensive than other campgrounds in town, however, to us, a much better choice and value. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Quiet and Convenient. In the "middle of nowhere," but a good stop for overnight. Nice long pull-thrus. Quiet, yet close to HWY I-10. Free Wi-Fi with good access from all sites. On-site cafe was not open the evening we were there (a Monday) but was available for breakfast. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visited park in 40' motorhome. Found park to be a typical KOA. Sites and roads were gravel. Grass in between sites. Sites were large enough for any number of slides. Utilities were modern and well placed. Each site had a table. Found park to be big rig & satellite friendly. Park was fine for an overnight stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park with easy 1-10 access. Owners are very helpful, friendly, and seem to really care about their park. They have set up free wi-fi and also have modem in office. Sites are large, some shaded, and most have mountain views. Park is clean and well cared for. Owners also have a small restaurant. We did not eat there but the menu looked great.

Nice park for a short stay. We used it for an overnighter between Dallas and Tucson. Park is easy to locate about 3/4 mile from I-10 but no traffic noise was noticable. Usual KOA gravel drive thru sites made for easy set up and exit the next day. Several truck stops nearby to tank up for you next leg. Not much to do in this area but I recommend it for en route overnighters. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I came mainly for the free WiFi internet, which did function flawlessly. After responding during registration that I didn't have a KOA value card, the owner volunteered that they also accept other discounts such as Good Sam. I felt the owners were as interested in my satisfaction as they were in collecting my fee -- a trait rarely seen in my 14-plus years of full-timing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were pleasantly surprised at the accommodations at this campground. We chose it because it was midway between two other stops and they had free WiFi. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though they are a KOA park they still honored the Good Sam discount. It happened to be my wife’s birthday so the catfish and shrimp dinners were a unexpected treat. The WiFi worked fine as long as I went outside the rig to get an unobstructed view of their antenna. I could not get a signal from inside the rig, but what the heck, it was free. We highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Pulled in for an overnight stop from West Coast to Houston. Very nice cafe on-site with great fried shrimp dinner and all the trimmings delivered to our coach. After a long drive from Yuma in one day the delicious food was a wonderful surprise!! Quiet park, about 1/4 mile south of I-10, enough to dull the freeway noise. It was the dead of winter, so the trees had no leaves, but appear to be fairly large. Spaces are level prepared gravel, nicely spaced, and the one we had was long enough to accommodate 38'coach and vehicle. Roads adequate to manuever rig. Definitely would stay here again on east / west trip! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground in the middle of nowhere. We decided to stop while traveling from
Houston to El Paso and we are glad we did. Real friendly folks, free wireless internet covers the park. The site we were in was over 120 feet long. The swimming pool was closed for the winter. They served dinner and breakfast. Thumbs up! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

You know, this place is way out in the middle of nowhere! If you need an overnight stop
in West Texas, it's pretty good, though. Very friendly staff. Lots of room in this park for "Big Rigs." Lots of room! Gravel sites and roads. Trees not a problem. Opted not to take Hwy 54 up to Carlsbad. Couldn't get good info on road so called fire dept. Contruction and mud from rains, so backtracked to Pecos (90 mi.) to take 285 north to Carlsbad (great road!). I'll give it a solid "8". Not a bad park. Stayed here in Oct. '04 with 42' motor home with toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
