“nestled among nature & history”
Our Senior RV Park has Seasonal and Residential Sites Available. Located 50 miles south of Albuquerque, on Interstate 25 (Exit 175) in Bernardo, New Mexico. Nestled amidst many natural and historical sites, Kiva's quiet location can give you the quiet and security you need on your travels. Many guests enjoy our proximity to US Route 60 which provides a cutoff to Interstate 40, in turn avoiding the congestion of Alauquerque.

We live in Albuquerque, but wanted to spend a day hiking the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. Kiva RV Park is just a 5 minute drive from the NWR, so we stayed there on a Friday night, so we could get up bright and early for our hiking the next day.
The folks running the place were very friendly. Led us to our spot and made sure everything was okay for us. It's a fairly humble place...gravel roads and parking spots. No concrete to be seen. Each slot has a fairly wide planted area, but this is not patches of green lawn. They have mature native trees and shrubs that are well maintained. Plenty of big cottonwood trees provided shade. The place is clearly run on a low budget, but is well maintained and there is pride in the work here. When we visited, it appeared to be nearly full, and it felt like perhaps 50/50 mix between long-term residents and overnight (or nearly overnight) visitors. There is a large corral area for horses. We walked over to it but there were no horses there. There's a little dog park, a bathhouse and laundry. We didn't use any of those amenities, so I can't comment. I believe the laundry is listed as free. (This is not the case with the wifi, which was complex and had a fee.) I just used my hotspot from my Verizon service and because we had 4 bars, that worked just fine for streaming some Netflix that night.
We really like the place. Lots of neighbors, but everyone was very friendly, and no late partying. A few kids. But really, it was all very pastoral and nice. We'd stay here again.
Not all was perfect. Aside from the less-than-friendly wifi:
1) The sewer hookup is just an open pipe. No threads. A little stinky when you take the cover off.
2) It is almost literally right next to the interstate. There's no denying those traffic noise is real. We slept with no issues, but if traffic noise doesn't act like white noise for you...you might want to look somewhere else. We're lucky; but I know this is a deal-breaker for some.
They do offer a Good Sam discount of 10%, so with tax, we paid $34. Well worth it. Very nice stay.

I have come here just about every year I have been on the road.
Bob the owner is so nice. I got sick while there this year & he watched out for me. Called me a few times to make sure I was ok.
In the beginning of the pandemic I stayed here & was welcomed like family. Stayed for close to a week, treated nicely & were very helpful.
Lots of beautiful drives nearby.
