Rating:  
Location:  Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico
Site Quality:  Gravel pull thru spots with picnic tables. Quite a few trees that can lead to some tight situations with a big rig.
Type:  Mix of longer term residents and short term. Long term seem to be mostly the eastern side with short term on the west.
Access:  Just off highway 70 with easy access for big rigs.
Staff:  Could be more friendly (seemed to improve once they got to know us) but were helpful.
Amenities:  Showers and restrooms (both close from 10PM to 7AM), picnic tables at each site. There was a community room with bi-weekly card games. This room could also be reserved for personal activities.
Cellular/WiFi:  AT&T and Verizon 4 bars. WiFi was strong with speed about 1.7 Mbits which seems typical for many parks.
What we liked:  Quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Felt safe and secure. Spacious, gravel pull-thru sites.
What we didn’t like:  Views of the surrounding mountains were somewhat limited. Our view to the East was of a storage area. Our porch side was opposite to the mountains. …

Location:  Lubbock, Texas
Site Quality:  Large pull thru spots with picnic tables.
Type:  Mostly long term residents with 6 spots for overnighters.
Access:  Just off loop 289 at 34th St. Easy access for big rigs. The turn into the park could be difficult depending on traffic as you have to get over 3 lanes right after the turn westbound on 34th St.
Staff:  Friendly and helpful.
Amenities:  Showers and restrooms, swimming pool, picnic tables at each site. Most long term residents have a storage shed at each site. Mail service for long term residents.
Cellular/WiFi:  AT&T and Verizon 4 bars. No WiFi.
What we liked:  Quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Felt safe and secure (although note comment below). Spacious, pull-thru sites. Concrete pads and driveways.
What we didn’t like:  Our car alarm went off at 2AM on the first night. We suspect this was likely kids looking for something although nothing was taken and no damage was done to the truck. There are no trees in the short term area so it stayed really hot – not ideal for west Texas in the summer. …
