Lordsburg KOA

      As with most of our KOA visits, it is just for a night stay-over while driving through because there were none of our membership parks nearby.  The Lordsburg KOA was no exception, it appeared that 90% of the RV’s in the park were just there for a night as well.  We hit some bad weather driving down from Mesa and pulled into the park at one in the afternoon and it was lightly snowing.  By the time we were in our site and set up the sun was out and it warmed slightly.  The park has full hookups with both 30 and 50 amps sites.  There was an extra $3 for a 50 amp pull-through.  I can’t say anything bad about the park but plan to spend forty to fifty dollars for a place to park overnight.  The whole campground is a large gravel parking lot.  It does have all the standard amenities like most all KOA campgrounds do and a few more niceties that we missed because of the weather and the shortness of our visit, like “kamper kitchen,” the activity building, the pool, and the general store.  It is also easy to get to from the freeway.  We would return to the park again if we were traveling I-10 through New Mexico.
