Red Barn RV Park in Roswell, New Mexico

Trent is your driver for this post.

We stayed at the Red Barn RV Park in Roswell, New Mexico in August, 2016 for just under two weeks. Our original travel plans had us here for a week but after a few days we realized we loved the park and wanted more time to explore Roswell.

The Verizon coverage (15-21 Mbps) here is great without an antenna or booster and the park, as advertised, really does have fast Wifi (~20-50 Mbps). If you work online using Verizon this is a great park because you will have two great ways to get online. It's always nice knowing you have a backup in case your primary system has problems.

The Red Park RV park is small. There are just 14 rv spots and a place for one or two tents. Lee, the women who runs the show here, is super friendly and the small size of the park means she stays on top of everything (in a good way) and keeps it looking great.

Our spot for the first week

The sewer, water, and electrical hook ups were all in good condition and worked as expected. The sites were all flat as far as we could tell. We used two spots and were level right off the bat on both. There is one coin-operated front loading washer and dryer that worked great.

There is a nice lounge/working area in the "Barn" with a TV, books, and a few games. There are also some snacks and drinks you can buy at any time using the honor system where you just drop money in a lock box. I worked in this area almost every day. The internet was stable, fast, and free with the stay. The park does offer free cable with a deposit on the required cable box; we didn't get the cable since we were able to pick up Olympic coverage with our antenna and that's about the only thing we watch on broadcast TV.



The owners of the park are friends with the farmers that own the fields around the park. This allows guesting staying at the park to walk on the dirt roads in the fields behind the park. It was nice to have a good place to walk and look for aliens at night.




The bottom line for this park is we would go out of our way to stay here again.
