Exactly what we needed!

Perfect for us! The staff and owner are so friendly and accommodating. Debra, Emily and Sherry did all they could to make our stay amazing! I really can't say enough about the location and it's simple amenities. It was so nostalgic and reminded me of the places we would stay as kids in the 80's. I loved it! Two of the full timers we met there, Leonard and Howard, the stories they told and the places they've been... wonderful! It is 30 minutes from ABQ and all it has to offer (great zoo, arboretum and aquarium...train connects all three if ticket is purchased before noon). And the Sandia Crest is just minutes away. $3 gets you unlimited access to all the trails and Day use areas on the route up. Tinkertown is a gem! You could spend half a day there and still miss something!

If simplicity, the basic necessities, friendly folks and starry nights sound like your kind of camping then the Turquoise Trail RV Park is for you!

Thanks ladies!!

Very quiet and nice

Nice place to be, still a campsite natural and without light at night. Personnel was super friendly and all was clean and working.

O.K. at best.

We came in off the road for we read they had large sites. They do if you do not mind them not being level. We could not unhook our truck from our fifth wheel due to the angle of the sites. Very small park with tight turns but we made it. The grounds were not the best and no shaded place to relax. The night sky is was the only real positive. This place is pitch black after dark when going to the bathrooms. Seems to be a pet friendly park for I stepped in pet evidence on the way back.

If you are a star gazer then this is a place to do so. If you do not mid bumpy dirt roads, rocks on the internal roads that are hard to walk on and a noisy tent area then this is for you. if your after a good night sleep well maybe the KOA would be quieter than the dogs here.

Being fair this is a good place for tent campers. And they have some rustic cabins that look adventurous for the younger campers. I do not think we would come here again do to the dirt and dogs but we would recommend for the weekend father son tent adventure. We walked the tent area a couple of times and it seems nice and the bathrooms were nice.

Great place for the big buses.

Off the beaten path. 4 miles from the interstate. Down a dirt road to a muddy site. Yet we are over 65 ft long and we did fit with out issue. We stopped at the Route 66 park to learn they are open but not ready for the big rigs. The host recommended the Turquoise Trail sue to the size of our bus. Even with the cons listed above we are glad we came. A very old yet accommodating park for the larger coaches with trailers. We will try the Route 66 park again when finished for the convenience once their premium sites are completed. If you don't mind some dirt and like great mountain views off the highway then the Turquoise Trail in Cedar Crest is nice. Ask for Barbara she is the nicest lady. Thanks Beau & Robin.

Old School Camping At Its Best.

We enjoyed our stay here. many cool antiques and even a museum. This park is a great place to hide from the noise of big city parks. Rock roads, Big sites, Great skies and friendly people. No concrete, No club house, Nothing fancy. We like this park for its country atmosphere and the great scenery. Not a commercial resort in any way. Country coyotes singing in the night and you feel like you could reach up and touch the sky. Cold at night. It is the desert but there are many small trees all around the mountains. Some nice vintage rvs to look at. this park is from the 50's and 60's with updated larger sites with 50 amp service for the big rigs. Our coach is 45ft with trailer and we had no trouble getting around the park. Pets are allowed at no extra charge. take a step back in time on the mountain. We will be back.

Rustic & scenic with limited RV amenities

Limited bathroom facilities run on tokens. Many broken down units around owners housing & many older trailers. Planned to stay longer but RV amenities too limited for us. Would visit if tenting but prefer other RV parks.
