“a convenient stopping place”

For more than a century, Raton has been a convenient stopping place along the path between Colorado and New Mexico. Now the "path" has turned into I-25, and this campground is today's convenient stopping place for travelers seeking rest and recreation. From here, you can easily visit Capulin Volcano National Monument, the Boy Scout Museum, Santa Fe Trail and Raton's Downtown Historic District, or you can take in the Independence Day ballooning events, fireworks and small-town parade. You'll find restaurants, a grocery store and shopping right across the street from the Raton KOA and a game room and horseshoes right on-site. Max pull thru: 90 feet.

Stayed here on our way to Colorado Springs, and figure choosing a KOA we couldn't go wrong! Negative! This place was muddy, dirty, and wet. Sites do not have asphalt or concrete, so they are just brown dirt with the snow melting turning these sites into mud lakes. The Bathhouse is under construction, but full hook-up with cable, and the best thing on the premises, the laundry. The game room had so much dust, and old books it looked ancient. Would only stay here if I have an emergency. The staff was super nice though, and hardware, restaurants and gas stations near by. Best attraction Capulin Volcano National Park.

We stayed here in early February for one night while traveling. It was fine. Site was level and cable worked. We did not unhitch. Bathrooms were clean. It was quiet too - was not bothered by road noise at all. I would not stay here more than 1 night as whole campground is dirt.

Not too far off the interstate but far enough that you don't get the noise. Easy and wide pull through gravel spots that are very level. Makes it easy to pull off the highway, do the quick setup and then quick pack up in the morning. Fast food, gas stations and a truck stop makes it convenient to fuel up and get back on the road. Cable TV included, good cell phone signal and usable WiFi.

Price reflects 10% Value Kard discount for 50-amp pull-through.
We've stayed here several times when we have business in the area. It's a very spacious dirt layout with plenty of room to maneuver and long pull-throughs. Groceries and restaurants are nearby. We've been here during a late-season melty snow and it was pretty muddy in spots but not everywhere. Sometimes we get a spot right under a streetlight and have to cover our shower skylight at night. There's no significant road noise. Staff is friendly and Verizon signal is fine. There is grass around the perimeter where we walk our dogs (dog park usually has little yappy chip-on-their-shoulder dogs in it or nearby - they must be with a permanent resident). On my last stay I noticed our 50-amp outlet had 40-amp breakers on it (I kind of recall that being mentioned somewhere), but there's no combination of things I could have running on either line that would surpass upper 30's so it's kind of moot.
This is fine for a place to say but by no means a destination.

Ok for overnight. Very friendly staff. Laundry decent. WiFi set up a hassle but ok. Very quiet. Cool evenings which was great after Texas heat. Was able to stream from AT&T LTE.

Great spot for a sleep over. They have many pull thru sites. Quick in and out. Also has full hookups (and cable).
We found ATT and Verizon had good service. North side of the park had full bars for ATT cell service. Another plus is it's proximity to gas stations.

This is a very typical KOA. nothing fancy, but checked all the boxes. Level gravel sites, basketball hoop,, horseshoe area, designated pet run, kids play area, etc. Super nice people. Stores and restaurants within walking distance. Nice if you want to leave your rig hooked up and in place.

AT&T cell service was perfectly fine. No problem streaming. Wi-Fi was available, but didn’t connect straight away. I suspect it wouldn’t be a problem, I just didn’t mess with it since AT&T signal was strong enough for me.

The shower was clean as were the restrooms.

The only negatives were, the laundry room was closed for the winter, as was the area to wash dishes. If you need the laundry room, I would call ahead and see if it’s reopened.

Could very well be the best RV park in Raton, but not great. Grass on our site was mowed weeds. Gravel roads are dirt. Facilities were clean, typical KOA. Neighborhood back ally runs through the park. Decent play ground, large grassy area for kids. If you can manage with 30 amp, no sewer, I highly recommend those sites, they have actual grass. Dump station on site.
