Can you charge an EV here? Yes · 50-amp

The 50-amp full-hookup sites can charge an electric truck at the pedestal, about 9.6 kW at 40 amps, with room to dial the current down and run the camper air conditioning at the same time. We plugged in here.

Our take

Tidy west-side Albuquerque resort with paved pull-throughs that swallow the rig without a fight and a pool for the afternoon heat. Easy on, easy off for the morning push east. Comfortable and group-friendly, a notch above a basic overnight without being a destination in itself.
