Blue Spruce RV Park in Stati Uniti

There were signs for various parks in this part of New Mexico, all boasting $15 overnight stays. Tired of driving and curious as to the reality of the claims, we stopped over at the second one we found: Blue Spruce RV Park. The claims were true, and in fact, we only had to pay $13.50 thanks to our Good Sam discount (though with taxes it got back up to $15.10). If we would’ve been two people instead of three deep, that number would’ve dropped to $12.15. Now I’ve heard claims of $10 private parks before, but thus far haven’t found one anywhere near anywhere near you’d want to be. The old couple running the place were diligently watching Fox News and had accents of thick Southern hospitality, reminding me so much of my great-grandparents that I figured they must either be distant unknown cousins or perhaps my great-grandparents didn’t die at all, but simply ran away to a life less Pennsylvania. The park itself is small, and it’s basically an RV parking lot, however there are plenty of trees on the perimeter of the place and it’s in a fairly remote location, so it doesn’t seem thick with the stink of having just been thrown into a parking lot. My favorite feature of the whole place, however, was the tiny grass park in the corner, complete with a covered picnic table and a single frolf hole. For those unfamiliar, frolf stands for frisbee golf, aka disc golf, and is basically a game for hippies where you throw a special disc through the woods, eventually attempting to get it into a metal basket. This is the only time I’ve ever seen them eliminate the course and just have a putting range though, and I have to say, I liked it. For an overnight stay, I’d definitely recommend this place. But since the town across the highway was desolate, and the park itself really has nothing to do, I can’t see much of a reason to stay here any longer than that.

I love these little no frills parks for overnight stops. The gentleman at the desk was charming. Easy access. Lots are small but I don’t have a huge rig. Everything worked. Price great. I really prefer these type of places for in route stops over the fancy ones with lot of fu fu I dont use. 5 stars for what it is.

Our truck was having issues, so we pulled off I-40 and coasted into the campground just as the truck stopped. Richard, the manager, was so helpful, calling companies he knew that work on diesel trucks, gave my truck's battery a jump, and got us going enough to get to a mechanic he recommended--CM Mechanical in Milan behind Love's Truck Stop. Campground is clean and a good price. Another camper there, Mac, also offered advice. Good place and good people! CM Mechanical is good too. They were honest and didn't rip us off, and got us back on the road the same day. Even though having issue with the truck wasn't so good, the people and the campground were great. Recommend!

Nice location for exploring El Morro & El Malpais. As of 6/23/2020 the Joe Skeen BLM campground is closed, as are many of the forest roads. Blue Spruce has wifi, laundry, full hookups, dump station. Just across the interstate from 'downtown' Grants. Trains go by several times a night, but other than that it is quiet. Several long term tenants in Blue Spruce, but was only half full for our stay.

Was just fine for an overnight stay. Easy on and off I-40 with level pull throughs. Good WiFi.
