Best Glamping near Arenas Valley, NM

This KOA is a convenient pit stop when crossing Southern New Mexico on Rt. 10. The gravél covered acre has been nicely landscaped around the perimeter. Road noise from the highway is heavy. The very clean shower dressing area was barely big enough to turn around in. All amenities are available including propane, which was served up by a grumpy technician.

It’ll be nice when New Mexico opens its’ State Parks to camping again so touring the State becomes possible.

Friendly staff, well maintained. Nice weather.

I’ve been hitting KOAs across the SW and this is maybe the nicest one I’ve stayed at so far. Excellent customer service, clean sites, bathrooms and a nice area. Just not liking the noisy geese at a pond nearby. Nothing they can do about that though!

Friendly staff, great area. Campgrounds clean. KOA Kabin was better than I expected. Wi-Fi password available. Tv in cabin l, heated, toilet and shower. Great place to stay whether just passing through, or staying awhile. Definitely coming back.

Very clean and quiet. Very friendly staff. Along the road, but it isn’t that busy and not really a problem.

Amazing! Super kind, knowledgeable and friendly. They even brought me wood. Close to town and a ton of hiking! Super clean!! Would definitely stay here again.

The staff are top notch! Young energetic and as helpful as can be. Friendly service, the facilities are very clean.

Great place to stay on the way out of town if on the way to get on CDR. Stayed in camping cabin. Can Uber to town if needed. Clean all heating worked.

Nice Park just outside/south of the Gila National forest. Perfect spot if one wants to park and then drive into the Kila forest or cliff dwellings. Has clean showers and laundry, and a nice couple that runs the place. Just a few miles north of silver city. Nice drive to get supplies in town

This was a great find! Perfect location to leave our trailer and go out exploring! Cliff Dwellings, hot springs, cat walk, farmers market, super cute old fashion bar and opera house Pinos Altos

Lots of pull throughs, clean showers, friendly host! Laundry great too! This is a gem, quiet and peaceful to boot!!

Very nice campground with full hookups and inexpensive prices. Quiet with many amenities like laundry and super nice room built to hang out with others

a place like from some safari movie, beautiful sunset, you can see a herd of cows. plenty of room for everyone and an easy route

Of the handful of formal places to camp, this is very small but very nice. Trees, a decent hike on a maintained trail. Only a few spots to take but cute if you get one.

Only 4 sites available. Some privacy from the road, which was better than the other campgrounds near by. By a creek, which is nice. Vault toilet. There was a trail along the creek that eventually crossed it, but the water was too high to cross.

This is a solid little campground with 3 (maybe 4?) campsites and few amenities. This campground is a “little” more hidden from the road than other nearby campgrounds. Railroad Canyon Campground has many trails to access the wilderness from, and a small creek running behind each of the three campsites.

The campground does have a toilet and trash service. Please clean up after yourself, and leave no trace.

The four campgrounds in this area (Iron Creek, Railroad Canyon, Upper and Lower Gallinas) are all closed in December 2021. Perhaps just for the season. Contact NFS for status.

Clean, quiet campground not far from Emory pass. Pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Only a handful of people there on Friday night

This campground is halfway between Tucson and El Paso and makes it a convenient to stop if you’ve been driving through like we were. It’s a very dusty campground ⛺️. The areas are nicely separated and it’s was good for a night. They have a camp store and good size bathroom with showers and several sinks. It’s an older KOA and not as nice as a lot of others I’ve stayed at. It’s definitely nice to have internet and service. The campground is located within a small, kind of rundown town. There is a grocery store within a mile which was good for grabbing stuff to make dinner if you don’t already have it.

The area we stayed in was for tenters however, there are various areas for RV’ers.

They have a swimming pool in season (May 15-September 15, game room, free cable TV, free wireless internet, and a Camping Kitchen ready for group events. An activity center is available for groups as well as food service on certain days. Max pull thru: 80 feet.

Nice campground convenient about half way between Tucson and El Paso for us. Campground was very easy in and out, town is declining but appears safe, sheriff vehicle just in front of campground. Campground was close to 10 but not to bad noise wise. We had a very scenic drive up into mountains to silver city, cute old town, we passed through Gila national forrest , it's about 45 miles, but a very easy nice drive on very good roads. I would stay here again passing through, only 3 channels on air tv, but they have included cable of about 20 channels. This campground is very close or in the dust bowl area, but was not bad while we were there and it was a little windy. Enjoyed our stay.

Stayed one night on the way to Tucson, nice facilities are nice and clean and the clerk at the counter was friendly. I would stay here again!
