Coachlight Inn & RV Park

This was to be a one-night stopover as we headed from AZ to TX. However, in early March the weather in all the Lone Star State was lousy, so we decided to stay for a week. Since we work remotely from the RV during the week, we needed a place with good Internet reception, that was quiet, and near grocery store. Anything beyond that was bonus.
The Coachlight Inn & RV Park is right off I-10 at exit 139. I had called earlier in the day and made a reservation. No cc needed, only my name and cell number. Check in was painless. Our 32-foot no-slides rig with Passat toad easily navigated the level, gravel area RV park. It says there are 33 space, but some (half a dozen) are clearly permanent residents that haven’t been mobile in a while.
It has full hook ups. Free wi-fi, that was easy to access, and that for the most part worked great. We have a hot spot so we’re not reliant. It’s pet friendly. There’s a laundry and showers. The showers – one for men, one for women – are gutted motels rooms accessible with a key you get from the desk for a $5 cash deposit. There’s a slide-bolt latch to prevent other key holders barging in. No frills here. The women’s had concrete floor, nothing beyond a shower curtain and paper towel dispenser. The hot water was plentiful, it as clean the times I used it. Hubby says the men’s shower room was more like an unfurnished room with carpet, but no other amenities. There’s a pool. But I didn't visit it.
All size of rigs parked here. Each space comes with a picnic table and plenty of space to park an accompanying vehicle.
Shopping, a variety of restaurants, abound. There’s even a good view of the Organ Mountains. The historic Village of Mesilla is less than a 10-minute drive. Known for its La Poste de Mesilla restaurant, being the place where Billy the Kid was hanged, and much more. As I said, nothing fancy, but it all worked. Passport America discount got our first 2 nights at $18.65/night and $36/night thereafter.
