Hello! We’re planning to visit the Trinity Site April 2019 and are looking for recommendations for RV parks/sites with hookups in the vicinity. Hope to get a response, thank you.
Here is a list of RV Parks in the area. The City’s RV Park has 50 spaces.

Since childhood, I have always liked to visit the site. Hopefully someday this will happen
In 1983 I (Kathy Wilkins at that time) painted “Trinity Site” for the opening of Trinity Site to the public. Just asking where the painting might be now if anyone knows.
My wife and I will be visiting this October for our 35th wedding anniversary. The Manhattan Project is one of her major interests and she got me into it as well. We are really looking forward to this trip.
