Great experience

If you want to stay in a mountain retreat but close to downtown Ruidoso, NM then this is a perfect place to be. Large abundant pine trees provide lots of shade. Bathrooms with shower are NEW, CLEAN, AND PRIVATE. Also provided is laundry room, small workout facility, sauna, gathering pavilion. We felt welcomed the minute we drove in. We have seen many new updates Including water,electric, and sewer hookups. 

In town mountain retreat 

We stopped for an overnight stay while driving cross country, solely based on reviews here. We found it to be a whimsical, very relaxing place. Eclectic decor is artistic and harmonious with the setting-never forced or tawdry like so many others. Owners were quite engaged and helpful, and graciously permitted us to move to a longer site so as not to require unhitching our trailer. Facilities are very complete, well appointed and maintained. Surprisingly high water pressure!



Very welcoming, fastidiously clean and maintained  

Perfect location, perfect hosts... this park is very nice. Super friendly and HELPFUL staff. Really the best of the best. So nice, I want to keep it secret... sneak in! Haha!

Perfect parkR.V.

One of the best appointed rv parks we’ve seen! Sites are close to each other but it actually provides a cozy atmosphere on the grounds. A disco/star lamp at night lit up the trees. Charming! Walkable to town. Full of art and crafts from the owners. Would love to return.

Excellent camp Ground Supet Clean

Overall, a pretty mediocre RV park. Typical tight sites and nothing as far as outdoor activities are present at the park. Park is right in the middle of town, so very convenient to a lot of shopping if you are into that kind of thing. 

Very Convenient 

Amazing campground! So close to everything, super clean PRIVATE bathrooms and the management is amazing and super attentive! 

The Comfort of the Woods in the Middle of Town 

First time ever I’m going to Ruidoso me and my wife didn’t really have a plan one night after sleeping in the Walmart parking lot we were driving down and saw midtown and asked if they do one night rentals at a time teepee site wasn’t fully done, but they allowed us to stay in there for a great price and helped us out when we had no idea what we were doing. I want to thank Midtown campground &amp; RV park for the amazing time we had there 

3 years old review

This was a decision while we were in Alamogordo trying to find an RV place in Ruidoso. What sold us to be there was the 5 star review. We knew the spaces were tight and it was in a commercial area but we were curious what it was about. 

We were very happy with the two nights we spent here. I think the ease of picking a spot that worked for our situation, the clean park and bathrooms and friendly staff and neighbors made it surprisingly one of the best RV experiences we’ve had. 

The high was 75 and the low was 45. It rained the first morning for about an hour. The main road is noisy, but we knew what we were getting into so it didn’t bother us.

The best part about this place was how close it was to stores, food, and gas. It’s really opened my eyes to how we can RV parks as a pass through in our journey to take advantage of electric and water and experience the local food and shops.

Ruidoso alone is a quintessential mountain town and it’s a must see visit in Lincoln National Forrest.
