“Convenient stop and cheap for power”

Overall Rating
$20 for electric hookups. Quiet night. Parking lot has a dump station. Very good night stop over given nearly 100F temperatures and our desire for AC.
5 stars for low cost with power although we wouldn't spend more than a stopover here.

We stayed here while visiting Santa Fe, and paid $10 for dry camping. Noise level was surprisingly low considering close proximity to I 25 and truck stop. Location is well lit. Power available for an extra $10 per night.
Very convenient if you are travelling through the area or visiting either Albuquerque or Santa Fe.

The casino is now up and running and the sites and slots are Loose! (Since the Covid shutdown). Well maybe the RV sites are more of a packed gravel, but they sure are affordable. $10 for dry camping and $20 to plug in. Check-in is now available at the front desk (make sure to wear your mask and have an ID ready).
Once at your site, security will come unlock your electrical box. The lot is lit in spots, but there are darker sites towards the back in Row A. We had good Verizon cell service and we were able to access their free internet (tho signal may not have been strong enough to stream).
Gas seems to be a better price here at the travel center too. There are showers available for $10. And the breakfast burritos are the bomb, the green chiles in them give just enough heat.
We found this to be one of the more economical lots in the Santa Fe area, (for reference, it’s about 17 minutes from the Santa Fe Beer hall at HQ.🍻They have a new beautiful courtyard, with views of the mountains and sunsets, and good food for purchase).
This lot is not secluded, but convenient to I-25 and good for a one night stay.
*We had a little confusion with the unlocking of our electrical box and I had to walk back over to inquire, security apologized and promptly came out to remedy. They gave me a ride back, even tho I could have used the exercise. We would stay here again.

NOT FREE! And you must be a NM resident with valid NM ID! After parking in the dirt lot, away from the rv park, we had a security guard knock on the door to tell us we needed to go over to the travel center/gas station and pay $10 if we planned to stay overnight. We went into the gas station and were met with an extremely rude person, who barked orders like she needed some sort of feeling of power. They asked to see our drivers license, and were told that since we are not residents of NM, we couldn’t stay there.
That being said, there were quite a few rvs set up and plugged into electric at the rv park, though the website says the casino and park are closed, as well as the area around the casino is blocked off. Also, none of the RVs or semis parked there had NM plates.

We were not sure if this would be open since the casino was closed due to Covid. Upon arrival there were lots of semis at the gas station next door and some campers using the RV sites behind the casino. It was terribly windy so we were glad to stop for the night. We parked behind the RV sites and were the only ones. The wind finally died down and we woke up to beautiful views with a dusting of snow. Some RVs were parked over with the semis but we preferred to be out of the way.

Black Mesa casino is a small casino halfway Albuquerque and Santa Fe. So a good way if you want to visit both places. People are nice and helpful. Next to the casino is a Travel center with several shops and even a laundry. Behind the casino is a RV park ($20 for full hook ups). Behind the RV park is a huge gravel lot where you can park for free (no hook ups). Truck parking is several 100s foot away and the I-25 even further. However you can hear the trafic it is minimal.
I will stay here again if needed.
