Not Your Usual RV Park

The Ancient Way Cafe and El Morro RV Park and Cabins came well recommended but it certainly isn’t the well tended gravel parking lot of a KOA.

Most of the sites are full time residents, and like this one have various structures, like this pole and wire fence.

There was no one at the cafe or office as they are closed on Wednesday. Since there are no reservations we went out to find a site. The open sites were not aligned in a uniform way. The utilities are not in standard locations. We tried a pull-through site but it had water and electric on one side and the sewer on the other. We might have been able to make it work, but not in the direction we first entered.

We did find a nice back in site with 50 amp service. The plug for the electric was upside down, but by propping the cover on the box open we managed to connect our cord. We were just finishing up our connections when one of the hosts came by. He was very nice. He apologized but pointed out that a fine stream of water was coming out of the water pipe because it had a hairline crack. He asked that we fill our tank and then shut the water off. Oh well, not really a bother. And we do have cell service and usable wifi.

They have a “Sculpture Trail” behind the RV park.

It was interesting…

but I found the natural beauty…

more compelling…

than the installations.

There was a spur trail that led up to a swing mounted from a tree.

It was strategically placed to give this view of El Morro National Monument. I think they also appreciated the natural beauty.

I hope this place works out because our intention is to stay here for a week!
