No restrooms or showers, but if you are self-contained, it is a good place to stay! Within easy walking distance of two good restaurants!

Not our first stay here, but definitely our last.

We had been parked and plugged in for 6 or 7 hours, when out of nowhere, a powerful voltage spike possessed our 5th wheel, featuring smoke, pyrotechnics, and sound effects (yes, we use a surge suppressor).We spent the remainder of that sleepless night without a/c, wondering how extensive the damage was.Later, after a thorough inspection by a professional, it was determined that the coffee pot, microwave and washer were DOA. It could have been so much worse, but sometimes cheap just isn’t worth it.

First, the good news: just off I-40; pull through sites; reasonable price for that plus water, electric, sewer, Wi-Fi and cable! There is a very good restaurant named Del’s that is an easy walk. The sites are clean, and staff was friendly. So why so stingy with the other two stars?

There is a very good restaurant named Del’s that is an easy walk. The sites are clean, and staff was friendly. So why so stingy with the other two stars? No communal facilities at all: no showers, bathrooms or laundary. Secondly, this place has all the charm of a hospital. Bottom line: a good choice for an easy overnight.

Only problem here was the tree the rubbed the roof. Noise was not bad from the highway.

Tucumcari is unlike, well, most anywhere you’ll find along a US Interstate. It is, essentially, a strip mall. However, you won’t find an endless (literally) chain of Holiday Inns, McDonald’s and Walmarts. It’s not that they don’t exist, in other parts of town or along the outskirts, but Tucumcari’s main drag, part of historic Route 66,...moreTucumcari is unlike, well, most anywhere you’ll find along a US Interstate. It is, essentially, a strip mall. However, you won’t find an endless (literally) chain of Holiday Inns, McDonald’s and Walmarts. It’s not that they don’t exist, in other parts of town or along the outskirts, but Tucumcari’s main drag, part of historic Route 66, that dashing road so many a traveler hitched, bitched and made it rich (that may not be true, but it rhymes) along back in the heyday of the motorcar, is packed full of a rarity on the I-## system: the local business. Places with names like Del’s, Dean’s, the Golden Dragon and Ken’s Ice Cream. The Safari Hotel, which proudly boasts “American Owned” and a dozen or so other local motels, in the old school sense where you had enough room to park your car and tuck through a thin door, to sleep over for a night before making your way further down the 66 highway. I wouldn’t want to live here, but it’s a sweet spot to find ourselves in for the night.And the RV parks are aplenty, from KOA to five or six local places, some more “permanent” than others. We found ourselves with the good fortune of staying at Cactus RV Park.The website is very friendly and that, combined with the fact that it’s the closest park to downtown, is why we chose the place. Upon our arrival, the owner was just as friendly, all too eager to help us find a comfortable spot. I told him we didn’t need cable and he gave us a discount on top of our Good Sam 10%, and then proceeded to tell us that if we wanted to use the cable, he wouldn’t mind. He was in the middle of remodeling the whole place, having recently purchased it and apparently transformed it from a long term park full of immovable trailers, to a cute and clean little RV park. The website now boasts “We are mostly an overnight RV park. Stay with your kind of people, the overnight traveler.”There are no laundry facilities, bathrooms or showers, the owner informed us “We’re new. We’ve got to tear it down before we can build new.”So let it be known: Cactus RV Park is an absolutely no-frills place to stay for a night, maybe two, to get your fill of Tucumcari and keep it on down the road.
