We spent 3 nights here in June, 2023. They told us the place had just opening in February of the same year. So it's very new, and it shows. Everything was immaculate. It's in a nice location, with attractive cliffs all around, and it's actually pretty close to Antelope Canyon and very close to Page itself. As you'd expect from a place so new, the power, water & sewer were all top notch. The main check in building (with a little shop) was pretty upscale. And the bathhouses were great too (with caveat, coming later). You get a full bathroom to yourself; a lockable room with shower, sink with large counter, toilet, shampoo/conditioner and plenty of space overall. They pipe in music so that sounds overall are muffled. They have laundry facilities as well, but we didn't use those.

All in all, sounds like a 5 star experience, yes? Well, a few things bothered me for the future of this place:

1) The sites, planted with still very young trees, are mostly ornamental rock. And growing everywhere through this rock are tumbleweeds. I live in NM, and know how pernicious these can be. Yet no effort appeared to be underway to nip them in the bud. These will soon be unattractive nuisances. And will make the sites seem much less worth the rather high price of camping here (we paid $85 per night).

2) The restrooms, although lovely, were CHRONICALLY out of toilet paper and paper towels. We learned to bring our own. One morning, I went in and could have had access to any of the 7 or 8 rooms. NONE had TP or paper towels. Not one. This happened consistently during our visit. They need to solve that, or their noteworthy bathrooms will become an annoyance.

3) Also, note that the sites are up on curbs. We grounded out our hitch several times when pulling in or out. I can't help but feel the sites could have been built at more like ground level, and not up on curbs.

Still, a very nice stay.

This RV Park is the most haphazardly laid out place I've seen. Imagine if you had a really large lot. Near the front, you own a small beauty parlor. On your land are a couple of old mobile homes. You decide to add some RV hookups (probably 20 years ago) and you just kinda scatter them about in what is only a semblance of order. That gives you an idea. I had called a few weeks before and "reserved" a 50 amp site (there are only 2). She took my name. That was it. No confirmation #, nothing. I had a bad feeling from the start. We arrive just before 7 (that's when we said we'd arrive) and both 50 amp spots were taken. She had forgotten we were coming. She offered us a 30 amp site, which for one night, was more than fine. We backed in (sites are uneven, we had to add blocks to keep our motorhome from being held in the air by the jacks) and started set up. I got my money's worth from my EMS that day! We got a reverse polarity error!!! Fortunately, the site near us (unused) was close enough I could run my power cable that way, and it checked out okay. After that, all was well.

It's a very good location, on the north end of Cuba (tiny town). We grabbed take out dinner from the historic El Bruno restaurant, which was phenomenal. The next morning, we struck camp and drove away. It all worked out okay, but don't expect your reservations to be honored. Theresa is super friendly, but clearly relies only on her memory to help her with reservations. Be prepared with a Plan B, I guess, in case you show up and she's rented everything. But at $20, it's a reasonable stay.

There are several RV parks in the area, including one right across the street from J&J. It's clear that J&J is the newest of the bunch. The trees are new and landscaping overall hasn't "filled in." So it's a little more exposed to the elements if you're parked there. But everything is brand new. The hook-ups were all immaculate. Water pressure good. Electric hook-up wasn't sketchy. Just good, solid stuff. The layout is the simple racecourse, with back-ins along the sides of the oval and pull throughs in the middle. We stayed in a pull through, and there was plenty of room for our 30' rig and our Honda Fit toad right behind. The spacing between lots is average, I would say.

The best part is how friendly the folks are. The young man who signed us in was great. And when we asked if we could park our rig on site for part of the next day after (after check out time, but we had a tour we needed to do) he had NO issues. He founds us a nice,safe spot, and our rig sat there until about 3:30.

The lot is right on the main road and convenient to the heart of Kanab. Easy to access. Oh, we did not even try the wi-fi. My Verizon Hot Spot was so strong, it worked for our brief Netflix needs.

It's a simple place. There aren't pools and clubhouses. Just nice lots, nice people, restrooms & laundry facilities (we only saw from the outside) and that was certainly enough for our one night stay. When our travels bring us back to Kanab, we'll be back to J&J!

We stayed here for two nights in June for our visit to the nearby State Park and to see the show "Texas." There was a heatwave in the Panhandle when we were here (117 degrees at bottom of Canyon!), so we gave up our spot in the park itself for the relatively cooler 107 degrees in Canyon, TX. So we booked at the last minute, but we got a great pull through 50amp spot.

The first impression of the place is that it's clearly been around for awhile. Some weeds amongst the trees. It feels like a site in northwest Texas. It's not beautifully groomed or landscaped. But is was a more than adequate home for us for two days.

Our initial contact with the office was a great, efficient experience. Friendly service then and when we arrived 45 minutes later. I was worried our site might be a bit uneven, as the ground was generally pock-marked with small dips, but our auto-levelers had us level on the first try without any blocks needed. That rarely happens! All utilities were close together and set up was a breeze.

We did not even try the wifi. I just used my very strong Verizon hotspot, and that worked for brief TV viewing in the evenings. We were parked near the "clubhouse" which we stepped into briefly. Pool table, books, restrooms and VHS tapes to borrow. That gives you an idea that this place could benefit from a little upgrade. The small outdoor area had a porch swing, horseshoes, and a few other games, along with a large firepit. During our time there, we never saw anyone availing themselves of ANY of it. Probably just too darn hot! The building next to it was the restroom, laundry, shower facility, but we did not look in.

There are speedbumps on the main drive up to the office. I didn't care for taking my motorhome and tow vehicle over those...I feel it was noisy overkill. But otherwise, we had no serious complaints and we enjoyed our stay in this modest but friendly place. (Oh, and the highway is fairly nearby, but just far enough away that we didn't really hear much traffic. Never impacted our ability to sleep!)

This was our first time in a KOA (I realize they run the gamut) but we were overall very happy. We just stayed for one night on our way up to Estes Park, but I wanted a level sight with minimal setup hassle and full hookup. We got that and more.

There are a LOT of amenities here. We DID take advantage of the miniature golf course ($2 per round per person, goes to charity) but didn't have time for the disc golf and many other fun looking areas. (Pool and hot tub are still closed due to COVID). But the price is a little high if you consider they are probably charging you for availability and upkeep of the fun amenities. It's totally fair to do so, of course...but still, it's a little pricey.

On the other hand, we got our VERY level sight and great hookups. The sites are VERY close together, some of the tightest we've ever seen. Again, for one night, not a big deal. Might have been a bit claustrophobic if we'd stayed longer.

I would unhesitatingly come here again if the need arose. Overall, very nice location. (Oh, and all the folks we interacted with were very friendly.)

We stayed here one night in April, 2020, during the height of the Coronavirus shutdown. We live in Albuquerque, and just wanted to take our little Class A out to stretch her legs and let us have something resembling a getaway!

The park is very in tune to the Coronavirus. Essentially, it's become a non-touch park...the gift shop/front desk is closed and all the transaction was done by phone, with our papers waiting for us on arrival. We asked for a spot with a little distance from others and they easily accommodated with a lovely pull through spot with a picnic table, some grass and some nice trees to either side. Some of the long term campers were still pretty close to each other, but based on signage we saw around, they are working to clear folks out and to be open primarily for overnight guests, which will keep the crowds WAY down.

Needless to say, we didn't need to use the laundry or restrooms/showers. There are restrooms & showers in the main building and there is also a freestanding facility in the middle of the resort. There is a pool and hot tub...neither looks terribly impressive, but not bad either. The overall park was clean, and the leaves were just starting to burst out on the trees, so it made for a nice spot.

Electric was in good shape. The pad was pretty level, so we had little trouble setting up. The water hookup is below ground so that was a little bit awkward. We enjoyed sitting at the metal picnic table on the bit of grass we had, and I used our new portable grill for the first time!

So why not five stars? Well, I'd do 4.5 if I could. The water hookup is a slight deterrent . And as others have said, the noise from the interstate is there when you're in bed, for sure. We were in the middle of the resort, but we could hear the traffic all the time. It is NOT terrible...a bit of "white noise" perhaps...but if you think this might be difficult for you, please be prepared. Although most of Albuquerque's nicer RV parks ARE right along the interstate, so it'll be tough to avoid!

We had a nice stay, and look forward to a return visit during this time of Coronavirus.

We spent one night here in early April, 2020. We live in Albuquerque, and it was the middle of the Coronavirus lockdown, but were looking to just get away from the house and still be away from people. With all the state and national parks closed, we had to go commercial. Rt. 66 RV Resort is just loaded with amenities (none of which we used, thanks to social distancing). It was not crowded at this time, so we requested and received a lot well away from anyone else. Full hook-ups, all in great shape. The park is less than 2 years old, I think, and it shows. Everything is pretty much immaculate.

Service was VERY friendly and the guy led us right to the lot in his golf cart. Nice and flat. Picnic table. Fire pit. We had lovely weather so sitting out as the sun set was a nice treat.

In the morning, we walked around the whole place, and they really do have excellent amentities, all still in great shape. The pool area (not open) looks very inviting and attractive. The club house, while simple, looked very inviting. A couple of bathhouses around and a couple of dog parks. A big outdoor pavilion with a batch of grills and sinks and loads of tables in case you want to have a big party.

The casino, restaurants and hotel are all closed, of course...but if you were looking for a place to stop and eat at a decent restaurant and do a little gambling...this RV park puts you just a couple hundred yards from the casino doors. Would be fun!

We stayed here for two nights in mid-June, 2020...so grateful to have an RV so we can travel during this time of COVID. We came up from Albuquerque to do some hiking in some mountains (cooler). We had great rain both evenings and sat under the awning and just relaxed after a long day on the trails.

The location of this park is its best feature, I have to say. Nestled right against the mountain. Lots of trees and shade. There is a little stream, which is nice to listen to. Our site was on the edge of the stream, but there was a short, steep bank down to the water, so we didn't really spent time at the water. Site 1 & 2 appear to have easy access to the stream (in case you've got kids who would like to splash around a little). We had a full service site, and everything worked fine. Water pressure is a smidge low, but not a big deal.

The atmosphere here is pretty laid back. There were overnighters and long term and everything in between. Some tent camping, and then all sizes and ages of RVs. The operators were friendly, although as is the case during these interesting times, we had minimal interaction.

As other reviews I've read have stated, there is a bit of junk around the area. It's mostly corralled into separate areas, but no doubt you will note it and perhaps feel just a little bit like you're camping in a junkyard. This is NOT a pristine campground. It's a bit rustic overall. If you have to drive to any of the sites a little further from the office, just watch out for tree branches. They hang pretty low and haven't been addressed by trimming in awhile.

There is NO cell service. Not a bar to be found. And the wifi (free) is REALLY spotty. I had very minimal luck just checking email. Forget about streaming anything. Just be prepared...it was hardly a major issue for us. But if you need good cellular, you'll have to drive up the road a half mile or so.

Although humble in many ways, we were already discussing our next visit here. So we DO recommend Sierra Village...with some caveats.

We stayed here for one night as we were travelling east on I40. We arrived late (8:30pm), but everything was ready for us. They even gave us a spot out of the way a bit so we wouldn't disturb others as we set up (they knew we were coming late).

The sites are fairly close together, and the place is somewhat cookie-cutter in appearance. Like I said, it is unassuming.

BUT, the sites are flat and level. The utilities are close together, so it's easy to park in a spot where you can do all your hook-ups without extension cords, which is nice. Water pressure is VERY good (like, make sure you have a regulator...we measured it at 100 PSI!)

The next morning, one of the staff checked in on us as we were breaking down. Very friendly. Everything was just easy and friendly.

(We did not try the free, available wifi, so no comment on that.)

We stayed here in late October for just one night. We were travelling from Phoenix to Albuquerque, and had not made reservations because we weren't sure how far we'd get that day. About 4 hours before we arrived, we decided Deming would be our stop and we were able to get reservations at Little Vinyard.

Granted, we were late in the day, and "beggars can't be choosers", but considering we saw many open spots (it's a pretty big RV part), the fact that we were place DIRECTLY under one of the few street lamps scattered around the park was truly awful. Unfortunately, we didn't really register this fact in our minds when we first were parked, and really saw the impact when we went to bed and the light was blaring through our vents! Our bedroom was lit all night. Truly awful; not sure why they would place lamps in such a way. Also, about every 4 spots has a picnic table. We received a spot WITHOUT, even though we saw nearby sights with tables and no lamps. So maybe we were punished for not reserving earlier.

All this could be corrected in a future stay and we could chalk it up to bad planning/communication. HOWEVER, the site is VERY near the interstate. We've stayed near interstates before and not had any real issues, but with the blaring light...we noticed. And then there are the trains! It felt like the trains (I think there were 4 that night) were passing right through the park itself. So in the end, my wife and I got a terrible nights sleep.

The folks we interacted with were VERY friendly. The park is a little rundown, but has plenty of amenities from what we saw . On our site, the electric and water worked great. Sewer was right there. It has all the pieces you could want, especially for a brief stay. But I think if we stop in Deming again, we'll look further up the road to get away from the trains and interstate noise. And if we DO stay here again, we will insist on a spot away from that godawful light!!
