This marker is located along Main Street aka SR 606 just south of I-40. It points out the history…read moreof the area. It reads, "This community was founded in 1894 on the site of an earlier homestead and stage coach stop. Irrigation from Bluewater Lake and its proximity on the railroad and Route 66 allowed development of extensive agricultural fields, which earned Bluewater the title, "Carrot Capital of the World." The region became known as the "Uranium Capital of the World" after uranium was discovered nearby in 1950." The marker was erected by the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division. There is room to pull to the side to read it and look around. [Review 21063 overall - 111 in New Mexico - 26 of 2024.]

In a nutshell: nothin' fancy, but very affordable and friendly…read more I've stayed in this small RV park several times. You won't find big-park amenities like swimming pools or miniature golf, but you won't pay big-park prices, either. The staff is very helpful, there's a small but well-stocked convenience store, and the location--just a few hundred feet from the entrance of Bluewater Lake State Park--offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, boating, and other outdoor activities. About the only drawback I can think of is the lack of a laundromat.

We also got horse and cow noises, which I consider a bonus. The people here were SUPER friendly, sweet and helpful, and everything was so clean! The bathrooms and showers were spotless, spacious and felt very private. There's also a clean 24-hour laundry room, which is always appreciated on a road trip. The walking path through the lava fields was really cool and such a fun little extra. Friendly people, great facilities, very clean and a fun place to stay. I'd absolutely stay here again!

We stopped here because we were too tired to drive to Flagstaff. I called to make the reservation…read moreand requested a site near the restroom. The gal said she could only put me in site six which was not close because nothing else was open and there were only 50 amp sites close to the building. We told her that we had a converter and that was not a problem. When we arrived and we saw where the site was, I walked back and asked the gentleman inside who accommodated us immediately. A fifth wheel pulled up next to us and unhooked everything only to find out that the sites in actuality only have 30 amp, not 50 amp so they had to hook everything back up and move to a different location. They were not happy. This stuff is pretty basic - it's important to know what sites can accommodate what type of vehicles. The park seems to be next to what looks like a stockyard. Not very appealing. On the upside, they have very nicely marked trails that you can walk with signs describing the various lava formations and we enjoyed that. The other upside is that they serve free pancake breakfast in the morning, which we did not go to, but it was nice offering and also have a kitchen at night so you can order food and they'll deliver it to your site. they have two dog sites. One is very small and the other is a little larger, both without grass. Just gravel. There's no shade and it's incredibly dusty. And people go through the park fairly quickly creating a lot more dust. Not sure what they could do about it. It's just the situation to be aware of. The restrooms were clean.

We rolled into Ancient Way Cafe 10 minutes before closing. We had a Cabin reserved and offered to…read moreorder to go so they could close. They wouldn't hear of it. The amazing gentleman behind the register walked us through the menu, told us to take our time and they would love having us join them. The chef came out and talked to my sweetie about Gluten Free food and what he could make for her. Never have I expected amazing stand out food in out of the way small cafes. Usually I am just happy to fill my belly. This cafe not only had the best service I have ever experienced but the food was stellar! I would go out of my way to eat here again. Everyone there was so happy to to wait on us, feed us and talk with us to understand why we were visiting. They served 3 more groups of late arrivAl's `after we showed up and with each one, they welcomed them with open arms and made sure they too had a great meal and great service. If you are within an hour of this cafe, I highly recommend you make it to their door! Every other restaurant could learn from this wonderful group of people. Service with a smile, incredible food, personal service from wait staff and the chef! The home made pizza was the best I have ever experienced. Incredible crust and unique and delicious toppings!!!!

I cannot recommend this place, except for their speedy refund, after we were unable to confirm our…read morereservation with ANYONE that answered ANY of our phone calls at the site. We had made reservations for 2 nights at El Morro, confirmed by an e-mail, and stating that we would receive an e-mail AND a text with the the code to our cabin several days before our arrival. We received NOTHING!! Attempts to reach anyone that could confirm that we had a place to stay by phone on the day of our arrival were fruitless. It took over an hour to finally receive a call from the owner. By That time we had made other plans, as the drive to El Morro without a confirmation that we had a place to stay was just too big of a risk. El Morro's failure to follow through on our reservation as they said that they would, along with the total inability to contact someone at the site that had a clue as to what was going on caused us to miss spending time with friends that we had not seen in over 30 years. There is nothing that can be done to replace that.....

The staff was friendly, restrooms were warm and clean for being an older rv park. It was quiet but since this place is right smack next to the train tracks you could hear and feel the train go by every 15 minutes all night long making it very hard to sleep. So by No means would I recommend staying here any longer than 1 night.

My brother, dad and I had an amazing experience at Chaco Culture National Historic site. We felt…read morevery fortunate to be able to visit such a magical place. I wont go into details, but it is worth the trip to come see this place at-least once in your lifetime and feel the energy that is here. We came in through the south rim off the 57. It is about a good 20 mile drive on a rough dirt road. I would not recommend driving here in any low profile vehicles or when it is raining because you will get stuck in the mud. Make sure your tires are good. Some patches are very rough and you will literally need to drive around 15mph. Once you reach near the visitor center there is paved road again. The loop is all paved and individual parking sites with restrooms are located in every site and will lead you on the trails. The hikes are moderate, but look out for snakes. The visiting section has a gift shop, really nice restrooms and they will provide all the info you may need. Entrance fee was only $25.

Just a heads up came here in January. I did not expect it would be snow covered fields and roads…read more The road leading up to this place no matter where you're coming from Highway 40 or Highway 25, eventually turns into a dirt road. Because it was frozen with snow on top our drive was pretty slow - 35 mph. I cannot imagine if it was a rainy day, all that mud. Don't come here if you don't have high suspension or at least an all-wheel-drive vehicle. We came here and had less than an hour left. The Ranger said we can drive the loop and see as many buildings as we can but we weren't able to see the large Pueblo. Still, it was worth it. Pictures turned out amazing. I did the junior ranger program booklet as fast as I could and I have to say it's one of the harder ones I've encountered if you were to finish the whole entire thing. I would come back here again, except when there's no snow that way you get to see way more of the architecture.
