Park Review – Love’s RV Stop

Site 11
Spanish Peaks

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Location: Walsenburg, CO
Type: Commercial
Check-in/Check-out times: 2:00/12:00
Site Quality / Amenities: Roads are dirt/gravel but sites are concrete. There is gravel between the sites. Each site has a picnic table and premium sites have a roof over the table and a larger patio. Power and water hookups were good. There is no sewer but there are two dump sites on the way out of the park.
Staff: There was no interaction with staff onsite. Everything was fully automated.
Cellular/WiFi: T-Mobile was 4 bars with download speeds of about 248 Mbps and upload speeds of 3 Mbps. The park also had WiFi but we did not use it.
Restaurants: We ate at TC’s Diner nearby the park. The place looks a bit rough from the outside. Inside it’s a typical old school small town diner with friendly staff and decently good food.
What we liked: Nice paved sites. Very quiet – we were concerned about being next to a large gas station / truck stop as well as nearby the freeway but there was literally zero noise from any of those. The entire campground is in a bit of a bowl which helps with the noise and could be protective for wind and other weather.
What we didn’t like: Next door to the park is a wrecker yard with some destroyed cars and one RV. The good thin is that it’s on a hill above the park so we couldn’t see most of it. There is also a county prison on the other side of the wrecking yard. Our site (11) was not level front to back or side to side although it was not necessary to use extra blocks.
Verdict: We would stay here again. This is definitely an upgrade from the KOA in Raton.n

Park Review – Lubbock RV Park

Lubbock RV Park site 120

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Location: Lubbock, TX
Type: Commercial
Check-in/Check-out times: 12:00/11:00
Site Quality / Amenities: The roads are a mix of both asphalt and gravel and the sites are gravel or concrete. The sites at the very back of the park have concrete pads and seem to be used for transient guests. There are a couple of restroom with showers and laundry facilities. There is also a library, workout room, playground and picnic area as well as a dog park. Propane is available on site for sale.
Access: Easy access from exit 9 on I-27 north of Lubbock. Pay close attention to directions from the office back to your site as there are lots of turns and some trees.
Staff: The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Cellular/WiFi: 5 bars on T-mobile and about 340 Mbps downloads with 47 Mbps uploads. For Starlink there is generally good views of the sky to the north and from our site we saw speeds of about 192 Mbps download and 18.7 Mbps upload. I believe they had WiFi but we didn’t use it.
Restaurants: The Escondido Grill is very close by with many Texas favorites along with good steaks. As a bonus, the grounds are very nice and there are Peacocks outside on the patio area that can be fed.
Nearby parks: The Retreat RV Resort south of Lubbock on I-27 and Mesa Verde in Wolfforth on the west side.
What we liked: Sites at the back of the park (sites 116-121) have concrete pads and there is no noticeable noise from I-27 nearby. Other than occasional airport noise it is very quiet there.
What we didn’t like: Lots of stickers in the “grass” and gravel areas of the park. There are also prairie dogs around the sites in the back of the park. They didn’t cause us any problems but they can eat exposed wiring. The park is on the west side of the Lubbock airport so there can be some airplane noise although we didn’t find it too objectionable. It’s west Texas so be prepared for wind and dust!
Verdict: We would stay here again although our preference is either Mesa Verde or The Retreat because they are closer to the places we go when in town.

Park Review – Lantern Oaks RV Resort

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
Location: Fredericksburg, TX
Type: Commercial Park
Check-in/Check-out times: 1:00/11:00
Site Quality / Amenities: This is a brand new park as of 2024 and everything is laid out very nicely for large or small rigs. Most sites have a long pad for the RV and an additional parking pad for a tow vehicle. The roads and pads are currently asphalt but they are going back and updating the pads to concrete. The office/clubhouse is gorgeous. There is a nice pool area and covered patio as well as an event lawn and pickleball courts.
Access: Easy access from TX-16 south of Fredericksburg (across the street from the Gillespie County airport). Take the southern most entrance to enter the park. Travel through Fredericksburg can be challenging for a big rig but if coming from the east on US-290 you can take Friendship Lane at the Walmart to bypass downtown.
Staff: Very professional and friendly.
Cellular/WiFi: There is Tengointernet in the park for WiFi but we didn’t use it. We were in site 47 and had an unobstructed view of the sky so Starlink worked well. Some sites do have large trees but I suspect Starlink would still work pretty well. T-Mobile was very strong and had download speeds of nearly 600 Mbps and upload speeds of a bit over 2 Mbps.
Restaurants: Hitchin’ Post – Good Steakhouse. BurgerBurger – Great burgers with a large variety. There are tons of other places in Fredericksburg but weekends can be quite busy.
Nearby parks: We didn’t look at nearby parks although there are quite a few options.
What we liked: Wonderfully laid out park with top notch public spaces.
What we didn’t like: Only dirt and weeds between the sites but this is a new park as of 2025 and they may add grass. The patios for the sites are a bit small, just barely large enough to hold their picnic table. You are just off the flight path for the airport and there is some noise especially if they are taking off to the south and if you are on the southern side of the park. There is also some road noise from TX-16 but overall the noise level is not too bad. Fredericksburg can be a bit crowded on the weekends.
Verdict: This is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. With the addition of some grass between the sites and completion of the conversion of pads from asphalt to concrete, this place will easily rate 5 stars. We definitely would stay here again when in this area.
