I was partial to staying at Woody as it was a regular stop for lunch on my business trips to Flagstaff. The sandwiches and shop were great. The staff were nice, at least the ones we encountered. The RV part, not so much.
Like most of the reviews, the spots are small, with little or no privacy. The sites are on a maze of ill-defined dirt access roads, and kids from the nearby sites would just walk direct line across other campsites back and forth to the rest rooms. Road noise was loud, mostly from motorcycles and trucks on Old Rt. 66 and Woody Mountain Road. Despite the other reviews, we did not hear trains--but Flagstaff is a railroad town. Our site had only 20 A electric and no water, but that end of the campground was a bit more private, and only surrounded by stored RVs and a rickety wooden fence. Some of the sites at that end were non-electric, and even though no generators were allowed, that was except at the dry sites near us.
So, the positives, its a great location, near town, near the Interstate. And the cafe has a new menu and chef, that we did not try.

Very pleasant campground very close to Loudon TN. Some of the sites offer more privacy than others, and in general the non-waterfront sites were more private. Non-waterfront is a bit of a relative term, #63 was not waterfront, but we were along the river, just elevated. The park was very quiet and peaceful, despite my worry about the boating. There was a good deal of motor boat traffic on the lake and noise.

While access to the park is a bit of a challenge on NM 3, either from the north or the south--once there, its a great campground, with wide open spaces in a cool little canyon formed by the Pecos River. Most of the sites are widely spaced and some have river access and awesome views. Our site, 13, was not--right next to 12, and not a great choice. There are a few pairs of sites like this that would make since for RVs traveling together.
There were a handful of trails, following the river, or climbing up the cliffs. In general, everything was well maintained and clean. Quite unexpectedly, there is Verizon 4G coverage, a bit variable from site to site.

Aux Arc was an excellent nightly stop over along I-40--we only stayed two nights because of the weekend minimum. Overall you cannot beat the price, $18 a night for electric/water, a spacious and level sight, and shade. There is a nice playground on the B/D loop (actually a spur), and some of the waterfront sites are especially roomy.

A couple of cautions...
Some of the B sites are sort of Y shaped, with two sites meeting at the road with a common entrance. They would work well for folks camping together, but are a bit cramped otherwise.
Some of the sites at the end of the spur were a bit run down, A1-A4.
The F sites have less shade, but covered tables.
Trains run along the other side of the river, several times a day, expect some train noise, horns and rumbles.
The speed limit in the part is not enforced and there is a lot of pretty quick traffic, despite the very agressive speed bumps.
Finding the A,B,D, and F sites can be tricky, keep going down the hill to the Power Switch Yard, the road does go left and on out to these sites.

We stayed here for the first time out in the new RV. Five-* may seem over the top, but this place was nice. The campground was amazingly clean, not a piece of litter to be found anywhere. Very quiet, even during the day. All of the sites were easy access, and KTC-55 was an especially easy pull through. The hiking up in the adjacent hills was most enjoyable, saw a group of javelin and deer together grazing in the wash.
The State Park facilities are nearby and look very impressive. With our greyhound along, we could not go on a cave tour, but the campground was worth the trip.
Just about the only (minor) downside--the campsite is a "dark skies" site, and outdoor lighting was discouraged. But apparently the campground hosts have enough problems with critters (packrats?) that they both had string lighting under their RVs. We never saw any packrat dens though.
Cell phone was sketchy, text and voice with Verizon were fine, but data was super slow.

After visiting Kartchner Caverns State Park, Patagonia was a bit of a let down. The sites up on the northeast loops were offered more privacy and were quieter than the congested beachfront area (we were in site 22)--carefully selected to have some space. Many of the sites are basically on top of each other, or just a pullout of the access road. For how busy the campground was it was pretty quiet in the evening. Arrival was uneventful, but no campground host welcomed us, and in fact, we could not identify any in the campground at all. The campground had scattered litter, and the bathrooms and dump station were closed.
Hiking on the birding trail was interesting up around the swampy end of the lake. This would be a much nicer hike if not for the cattle. Watch were you step. The cattle are very docile, and in fact, will not get out of your way hiking. Evening walks in the campground were pleasant after the day use folks had headed home.
Cell phone was sketchy (Verizon), and data was marginal.

Clean well kept place to park the RV that broke up what would have been a 500+ mile day home. Hatch is a fun town, with Sparky's and several chili vendors within walking distance of the park. Other than that, it was just a place to park. The spaces were pull through, but without any dedicated outside space, or even room, between the spaces. Most of the park was apparently occupied by long term contractors, so on a Friday night, it was oddly full of RVs, but empty of people. At $40 it was expensive for what it was.
