Hacienda RV Resort

Our RV GPS and Waze brought us right to this campground (CG) off I-10. Check-in was friendly and efficient. We were then escorted to back-in 186 with FHUs. When we originally made reservations, we selected site 181. At check-in, they were puzzled about how we knew about this site. The site was on the CG map and on the end of a row, so we asked for it. We were told that site 181 is reserved for their Regional Manager. Even though the site was empty, we were moved to 186. This site was long enough for our 40’ rig, but we had to park our F450 angled adjacent to the site. The sites here are also very close together. Water and electric sits pretty much centered on the gravel pad, with the sewer more towards the back. With our 5th wheel parked all the way back in the site, we needed 15’ of sewer hose. There was no picnic table nor fire pit. We had a clear shot of the northern sky for Starlink and 5 bars on Verizon. Their WiFi was usable. The water pressure here is really good, so we used a reducer. They have a long fenced dog run that runs along the south side of the CG and is in sections. Our dogs really enjoyed this dog area. They have a good-sized laundry room that you pay using your cell phone. Washing cost $2 and drying $2 for 45 min. Pay attention when pulling out on the main road near the office. We almost got hit by an oncoming vehicle turning left when departing the RV park. There’s a curve, and the locals drive this shortcut road well over the speed limit. The CG served its purpose for us to visit an old friend for a few days.

This was just a short stay as I was passing through the area.
The team at Hacienda was very nice.
The sites are a fine gravel, which is not my favorite, but these were very clean and well maintained.
The park is also designed with the FHUs placed together for adjacent sites. This places the utility side of the rigs together and here they are very tight. It also places the patios together, but they are separated by a wooden fence and some shrubbery. I've only encountered this layout in the west and it's adequate, if not ideal.
This campground would benefit from a full perimeter fence and control gates at the entry and exit, as is becoming more common for campgrounds that are 'in-town.'

We pass through Las Cruces often and have stayed at Hacienda many times. It's always an easy stop. It's level, very neat, pull through, all utilities work well and are placed well. There's an exceptional winery and restaurant, D. H. Lescombes, right down the street. Cute downtown area. Red Hawk and U of Mexico golf courses are nice.

Stayed here for 9 days to visit family in the area. The location was convenient for family but not really in the greatest area. The park is off I-10 and you can hear the road noise. The sites are very close together with no privacy. And no picnic table or anything.

The good is the showers and laundry room. I would only stay here again if I had a site away from the highway.

Reservations were easy by phone. Check in was easy with polite and helpful personnel. We had a back in site but the sites are very wide and long so it was easy. This is a mature park with some cover (as much as you can expect in a desert). All sized rigs are present. The sites are fairly level gravel. The WiFi was initially good but failed on the weekend. ATT has 3 bars of 5G. There is cable TV available but it didn’t work for me. 2-3 networks are available on antenna plus many lesser channels. They have a small hot tub but that was closed for maintenance. They have key access restrooms and laundry. Not much to see in town but this is a nice place to stay if you have people to visit or just want to enjoy the weather.
