MODERATOR NOTE: No overnight camping allowed, please respect the wishes of the locals.

Free overnight parking (no amenities) in a dirt lot behind Cabela’s. Not sure if the lot belongs to them as there were no signs posted anywhere. We planned to park overnight in their lot as they’re known to be friendly to overnighters. Cabela’s has clean toilets and sinks available during business hours. They have some snack foods available. There is a cafe and a pizza & beer restaurant across the parking lot. We drove around to the back and found this large dirt lot with 8 other rigs posted up (A class, Trailers, schoolies and our truck camper. Plenty of room for everyone. There’s a huge empty lot across the street with some grass if you want to exercise your pup - no fence and no signs posted. This spot is near the freeway so you’ll get constant road noise, and potentially noise from neighbor’s generators. Ear plugs are key! The ground is mostly level with a few spots that are slightly off - we didn’t even bother with leveling blocks. Full sun with no shade during the daytime. Four bars cell service with T-Mobile & Cricket. We had some repairs to do and stayed a couple of nights with no issues. We met some of the others who had been staying here all week for the hot air balloon fiesta. Please leave it better than you found it so that we can continue to enjoy the convenience of these places.

Unable to use the Cabela’s parking lot, nor the adjacent gravel lot, which is blocked off by a fence on this day.
Report Check-InHuge lot, worked for me just great. There was a small rv parked on the asphalt not in the dirt lot, I think they were asked to move as when I woke up they were on the dirt. Let's not screw this up, 😁.
Report Check-InStayed for one night. No issues, had a good night's sleep. Traffic noise is not too bad!

Report Check-Ingreat parking and overnight spot in central Albuquerque. There are lots of RVs and trucks campers here. It's balloon festival week and if you get lucky the balloons land in the empty lot across the street. Cabela's across the nation are very hospitable as long as you don't abuse them. Pizza, beer and cafe with bathrooms and water here also. right off the freeway so there is that noise.
