Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Park

This is the only game in town if you want to see the balloon fest with a minimum of hassle. I know that they were saying on the TV and radio if you are not in the park turn around you will not get there before it is over with the backups. They had over 100k people the first day all try to drive in. They have 1000 sites and the west lot that we were on is a reclaimed landfill. They do not allow generators or grills on the ground but have to be up at least 2 feet if not attached to the coach. They also have guys going around sniffing for gas. The lot is dirt and gravel and some light paving in places. It is dusty and they have a water truck that sprays water all day to keep the dust down but that also makes it muddy right after they go by your site. Being careful the coach was full of dirt even removing your shoes. There is dry camping for 35 dollars water and electric for 65 and up on the hill across the road they have water and electric for 150 a night. There is also a dry camping place for 65 up on the hill too. There are burrs on the ground that are really tough on the dogs paws and no walking barefoot as there is glass coming up too. Now the reason they are full is that the balloons are right there. They land in the campground and they land in the field it surrounds. In fact that was one of the targets the last day I was there as well as the third day. I did this trip with a tour and there were a number of them and they had tents up and it was nice to have everything taken care of but next time I would just go myself. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
