Dump-day gear checklist

Local tips

Truck stop dumps are usually paid. Have a card ready and ask the cashier whether you need to prepay.
Coronado Campground in Bernalillo charges $15 for dump-only use, and its office keeps business hours. Call ahead if you're arriving late.
During Balloon Fiesta in early October, traffic and campgrounds fill up fast. Dump early in the day.
