Veterans Park

LivingOurDreamNow

Veterans Park is a city park just off of Interstate 10 that offers free camping and is also big rig friendly. We had plenty of room to parallel park our truck and fifth wheel trailer (50 feet long combined) next to one of the numerous covered picnic areas. In addition, the parking area was wide enough to open our three slides for the night. The roads are mostly graveled and hard-packed, but there are some dirt areas. Cellular service was awesome. Verizon clocked in at 61.2 Mbps download speed and 45.1 Mbps upload speed. AT&T clocked in at 59.3 Mbps download speed and 11.4 Mbps upload speed. The arched Veterans Park sign over the main entry does not have the height clearance posted, but our 13 feet, 6 inch rig cleared the arch with about a 12 inches to spare. There is another entrance to the park immediately past the main arch entrance with no height restriction. A dumpster is located to the rear of the park. Trains pass through all night, but this park is still a free overnight camping gem for the self-contained traveler.

Great stopover place to camp. Lots of room for big rigs to turn around. But enter to the left of the arch if you're too tall to go under it! No hookups, but there is a trash dumpster. Also, if you're coming from Silver City, be advised that the underpass is only 13'8". I had to figure out a way to go around it.

A good free spot to park the RV overnight. Nice and quiet. No hookups. There are picnic tables with covers. The park could use some TLC to spruce it up a bit.

Large desert style picnic area with shelters, bbq's, tables and plenty of parking. RV park overnight is OK.
