Not much privacy, but a home bas
36 ft fifth wheel · With pets
Overall, a pleasant stay. However I do think a few quirks are worth mentioning. We stayed 2 weeks in a fifth wheel to use as a base to see the Bisti Badlands. Firstly, this property is not directly on Route 66, rather a 5-10 minute drive. The mesas in the photos are further away than they seem. Secondly, when reaching out to the host just know you will not get a response and have to rely on her two sons to help getting settled like many others have mentioned. Thirdly, if you do not see a water hose upon arrival you will need to wait for the sons to get home to bring it out and show you where you hook up. The water connection is between the white trailer and the fence in a black rectangular box about 12”x15” I believe they may bring the water hose inside during the winter when unoccupied. Other than that, cannot really complain, it served its purpose and was easy to find and back in. Snowed on us about 5-6 days out of the 14.

Perfect thing we needed
13 ft travel trailer
Perfect for any tiring long commute. We were able to rest comfortably away from the noise of trains and traffic yet close enough to the highway to go back on the road by morning.

Great spot , beautiful & quiet
25 ft Class C
We booked on the same day & arrived in the dark at 8:30 pm… absolutely lovely find on our route . The temps we as low as 14° F and we were able to run our little heater . We were tired after almost a 600 mile drive day & missed the parking spot .. it’s marked well with 2 little lanterns . The host answered our phone call & we settled in for a nice nights rest . The dogs loved hanging out with some freedom ( we definitely picked up after them) and we so appreciate that option at this spot. Nice & level gravel spot & quite large . Thank you so much!!!

no communication
40 ft travel trailer
The day before I was to arrive the temps were to be in the teens. I tried twice to connect with owner but got no reply. I didn't have a 50 foot RV electric cord which she states I would need to connect to power so I canceled in lieu of finding a place where I could connect to power to keep warm. The next day I still have not heard from owner to maybe get a refund but understand that may not be possible but still to not have any communication is not cool.
