The price is right, considering the other options in Santa Fe. Use Paseo de los Pueblos (not Richards Rd), the gate you need is straight ahead. You'll need to call ahead to get confirmation that a spot is available (sites are not reservable) and to get the gate code for entry... there are fhu sites on both sides of the arena (horse paddocks in between) and a large area for dry camping. Pay for your spot using an envelope you'll find in the PRCA building and drop it in the metal box on the wall (cash or checks, not sure about credit cards).
Water and electric are at the back of the spots and in between. The rodeo grounds bathrooms were open while we were there, but I don't know if there were showers. Lots of goatheads and if it rains, no shortage of slippery adobe mud between the gate and the spots, but overall, a good less expensive option for exploring Santa Fe and surrounding area.

Yes, yes and yes to all the previous positives. We're 5 weeks gone and heading home. After 4 days boon docking around Lake Powell posh digs like this is a pleasant change. Green farm land to the west and nice views of Mts Nebo and Bald right out the front window. Both wifi and cell coverage are very good.

We intended to stay here overnight, but found we had some issues with the car on arriving and instead drove to West Wendover, took care of the car and stayed in the truck parking next to the Nugget Casino. But we would have no problem returning and staying for a few days. Leppy Pass Road is negotiable with pretty much any RV, we're 34' and pull a CRV and we had no problems. Nice views to the north from the dry lake bed camping area, but none east toward the flats. Only one other camper.

Price reflects the PA rate.
Nothing fancy, not even remotely. There are a handfull of water and electric hookup sites, not sure if they also had sewer (site 14 which was along the back wall of a building did not). There is a dump station at the east entrance if not. There is also a large grassy dry camp area.
Following google we were sent down a sketchy but paved road for half mile or so before ending up at the locked west gate. Found our way to the main pedestrian entrance 1/2 mile away and security directed us to the east gate. From there we drove through the dirt staging lot, around the arena, band stand, the stock pens, horse barns and finally through a gate to the rv spots. The hookup spots are packed very close together and are right outside the arena and bandstand area. With PA discount price was reasonable for an electric site, but I dont think we'd stay again at the full $30 nightly rate. It is a rodeo venue so expect it to be pretty dusty and buggy.

Price reflects dry camping.
Nice clean gravel spots, easy access off the highway, big rigs are fine. Small place with just 6 hookup sites and 3 - 70' pull thru dry sites. A somewhat industrial setting, but as others have pointed out, a great affordable alternative to nearby Moab.

Six camp spots (officially) but there is some overflow across the road, 3 night max stay and $14/night ($7 with a senior pass). Convenient to the dam, Page and Wahweap. The rock outlined trail that leads through and around the "beehives" WSW of camp is very nice (grippy shoes would be good for one short stretch where there is some minor exposure). No real issues with noise from Hwy 89, and we were in the front row, closest to the highway with a great view out toward the lake.

We parked in the well lit upper parking lot behind the fuel station overnight and yes it is a truck stop. In spite of the traffic in and out of the lot and fuel station it was relatively quiet and we had a good night. Added bonus is that it's convenient to the best price on diesel we found in Wa. or Oregon and right on I-5.
There is an RV specific overflow type lot across the freeway near the casino itself. We haven't stayed there but it looks like there'd be less traffic and noise for the light sleepers.

Yes we will definitely be back. Our first trip to Lake Powell, and staying at Lone Rock was just what we wanted. The lake level is pretty low right now, so the distance from "beach" parking to the water was something like 150 yards, but it made the beach feel more like camping on a bluff with a great view of Lone Rock and the rocky outcrops and mesa's to the north. There is also camping up top nearer the entry station (camp host is here). Wind can be, and was a nuisance. For the time we were there, (mid-April) we had one afternoon of calm and 2 days of blowing sand in the afternoons (20 - 45 mph gusts). I'm told the wind is sort of seasonal, so other times of the year it is probably better. The sustained wind was strong enough that on our second day, we watched the patrol boat come out to rescue a couple of people on paddle boards who made it from shore to Lone Rock ok, but apparently couldn't paddle back against the wind.

Perfect for a night or two just 10 mins north of Sante Fe. We stayed 1 night on a Wed (Prime Rib special night and the restaurant was a busy place). Rv overnight parking is in the upper lot's (#3 or 4), paved and lighted. There were only 2 other rv's there when we arrived so we easily found a mostly level place, slightly out of the lights. Felt secure, and in spite of being just off the highway, quiet.

You know what to expect from KOA, high price and nice quality camp amenities. This place is exactly that. Close to West Yellowstone shopping and the park entrance. There is lots to do for the kids without leaving camp... mini-golf, playground and pool, rental 3 wheeler bikes, etc. As you might expect at the height of summer, there were hundreds of cars heading for the park in the am, causing a backup all the way through town, and large crowds and traffic jambs at the points of interest. We opted to go into the park around 4p as most everyone else was leaving and had about 4 - 5 hours to hit the sights. It wasn't empty, even late in the day, but better than prime time from 7a to 3p. There is cell service (we have TMobile) enough for reasonable voice and email. Wifi is available but with umpteen + folks all trying to stream something in the eve's, we didn't actually bother trying it. Crowded camp, with lots of daily turnover, but most everyone we came across were respectful of the quiet hours.
