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 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.....

I was visiting New Mexico in January and was bummed to see that WSWS was closed online; however, after reaching out in advance, Brittany was kind enough to accommodate our visit. I'm so glad that she did since it was one of the highlights of my trip! When we arrived, we met Stephanie at the visitor center. We had to knock several times to get a response, and when she opened the door, customer service was nonexistent. There was a scheduling mishap with our tour, and she made my friend and I feel unwelcome from the moment we arrived. She told us that we could walk around, but nobody would be available to give us a tour. My friend and I went outside, and fortunately, one of the staff passed by then turned around to guide us through the sanctuary. August was a fantastic guide and completely made up for the poor experience that we initially had. He was extremely knowledgeable, and it was awesome to hear about each dog's story, their care, and the community's support for WSWS. I decided to sponsor Atlas, a 12-year old wolf dog, and look forward to staying up to date on his well being.

Don't miss this if you're anywhere nearby. Doing the route 66 through New Mexico it's not that long a drive from Gallup. There aren't too many places to stay down here but right next-door (by local standards) is the El Morro RV camp and cabins, which also has an excellent restaurant. Another travel tip - if you're coming down here come on Wednesday or Thursday and stay over the weekend. Things are closed at the beginning of the week, including the not to be missed El Morro National Monument.

The bathrooms are acceptable, but please fix the locks on the stalls. Sites are very narrow, but the concrete pads are new and are they level! There seems to be a good deal of workers staying here, which kind of makes it a little sketchy (just a feeling, nothing happened but single women might want to know this). The dog run is tiny, in the back corner and pretty useless. It also appears that many persons believe that if their dog uses the edge of the camp road near the expressway that they don't have to clean it up. Nasty folk do that-pick up after your dogs, people! Would I stay here again? I don't know, with at least 5-6 other RV parks within 25 miles, I might try somewhere else. In regards to the Good Sam discount, we booked on line and it was honored. Also, we did get the discount off the advertised price.
