Lordsburg, NM KOA
With about 450 miles of eastward travel along I-10 in our immediate future, we opt for 3 shorter days across New Mexico with our first stop at Lordsburg, about 2.5 hours from Tucson. The only RV park in Lordsburg is the KOA. The typical A-frame building greets you and shows the best potential of this park. Behind this façade are 7 or 8 rows of pull-through sites laid out on a gravel parking lot. A few leaf-less trees dot the area and there’s even some grass along the back fence reserved for tent campers. Pretty much as expected – we’ll spend 1 night here before departing for Las Cruces.
Facilities: We found virtually no over the air TV, but with a cable connection, we had the major networks, some from Tucson and some from Albuquerque. The office had a WiFi hotspot, but even with a WiFi booster, the service was unpredictable. It’d run along at 3Mb one minute and then fails to connect the next. Frustrating – but again, mostly as expected. Cellular phone service was spotty too, with 2G or LTE service – but very little data bandwidth.
We’re off to Las Cruces today – bigger city and better services hopefully – more from there!
