Turquoise Trail Campground & Rv Park

Pretty killer campsite! Right by a beautiful National Forest. Very friendly staff (you’ll want to find Ron). Above average bathrooms. Clean campsites.

We stayed two nights and really liked it. It’s away from the hustle and bustle of Albuquerque. We had our 20 foot trailer there, and my son and father-​in-​law stayed in one of the cabins.
If you stay in the cabins, bring bedding. I don’t think they provide it.
Nice vibe.

I’m not sure exactly what this place is all about, I’m guessing it is private property. It is in a semi-​wooded area a short way up the mountain from the highway — easy to get to but not very secluded. They have the tent campsites well separated from the RV section which is such an obvious thing to me as a tent camper but most places don’t get that concept that a tent camper doesn’t want to be right next to a rolling Motel 6.
We were there on a week night and there was only one other tent camper. She had one of the two loops all to herself and we chose the other.
It was a baptism by fire for the first time we were using our huge new self-​erecting tent because as we were setting up the winds were beginning to pick up. During the night the winds averaged 20 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH which made sleeping in the tent like a thrill ride at a theme park. In the morning the wind changed direction slightly, kicking up huge clouds of dust. Taking the tent down under those conditions was quite the feat.
The campgrounds themselves were okay but at $ 18.56 a little pricey for what it is. They did give us a couple of tokens for the showers which had hot water, something a tent camper always appreciates.
I think the main reason to choose this campground is the proximity to Albuquerque, other than that it wasn’t remote enough for my tastes.

This campground was so beautiful. It was right off the 40 freeway. Robin the person that checked us in was very helpful letting us know we can call her anytime we need anything .and we were able to check In late .The price was fantastic this included the full rv hookup, shower, and Internet. It was very convenient, beautiful, and safe. Amazing customer care ;) perfect for our long adventure .i would recommend this for families or someone just driving through. ;)
