Tucumcari

Tucumcari, whose name originates in the Comanche word tukamukaru, is full of sprawling open spaces and views of dramatic red bluffs lit by the sun against a backdrop of blue sky. With a distinct identity all its own, Tucumcari is a cultural and historical gem. Here, visitors can take a trip to the Tucumcari Historical Museum, which is set a revamped 20th century schoolhouse and houses artifacts and displays in its multiple rooms; try their hand at sandstone bouldering at Tucumcari Mountain; or take the whole family to the Mesalands Dinosaur Museum to see bronze replicas of dinosaurs and engage in hands-on activities like bone digging and crafts. And of course, luxury camping is the best way to experience it all – book a glamping site today!
