Mountain Road RV Park, Tucucmari, New Mexico

Mountain Road RV Park is at exit 333 on I-40 in Tucumcari, New Mexico, less than a half mile from the Flying J Travel Plaza. We decided to stay there because it was convenient to Flying J and easy access back onto I-40 in the morning, but we won’t stay there again because it IS so close to Flying J. We listened to the rumble of the trucks coming into and leaving the truck stop all night. It was a constant drone of diesel engines.

That's Flying J over there

The campground is nice enough for an overnight stay, though. Sites are long and mostly level. We only had to put a 1 X 6 under the tires on one side to get leveled up.

Our rig parked for the night.

There is no grass and not many trees, so if it were a hot summer day this could be a miserable place. In April, though, it was not bad.

more of the campground

Full hook-ups cost $26 per night. We received a $2.00 discount for paying cash, but they do take credit cards. Other discounts are available for Good Sam and AARP members. There is a nice clean laundry room. The showers were locked and since I didn’t ask for a key I wasn’t able to get a picture of them.

Laundry room

The office sells ice and ice cream bars, and few RV supplies. We didn’t have a reservation but we got there early. The campground filled up later in the day. If you’re in need of a place to get off the road for the night, and won’t be bothered by the noise from the trucks, I’d say go for it.

entrance to the campground

We chose to stop at West 40 RV Park in Shamrock because it is a nice level campground, just off I-40 about four miles west of town. The long enough to accommodate the largest RV out there. Full hook-ups go for $26 a night. They don’t take credit cards but do take a check or cash.

They have 30 amp and 50 amp electric hook-ups and are putting in some new sites. They also have some tent sites. Even though this campground is on the side of I-40 you don’t notice much noise from the road.

Our campsite had a great view

The view out the window is of rolling hills and ranch land. If you have children with you, there is lots of room for them to run and play here. There is a laundry facility, and showers, but I forgot to take pictures (imagine that!) but you can see one more here along with more reasons to stop in Shamrock on your trip. West 40 RV Park is a nice little campground, in a nice little town, and well worth the camping fee they charge.
