ScoutTHE CAMPGROUND IS VERY NICE. IT’S GRAVEL. THE SITES ARE WELL MAINTAINED. SOME SITES ARE COVERED BUT FILL UP QUICKLY. REASONABLE RATES (PARTICULARLY WEEKLY AND MONTHLY). THE ONLY REAL DOWNSIDE IS MAKING A RESERVATION. IT IS HARD TO NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AHOLD OF SOMEONE TO MAKE A RESERVATION. TRY TEXTING. THE RESPONSE SEEMS TO BE BETTER.
TravelerCampground and surrounding area is very dry. No campfires. Gravel sites. Picnic Tables and sites could use some general maintenance. Nicely laid out with lots of room between sites.
ScoutReally like this RV spot lots of space, very poor Wi-Fi… And our neighbors were very loud, cussing, and playing music till midnight. But the camp staff was very helpful. Middle to late June temperatures were hot enough. We definitely needed the air conditioner… Father’s Day weekend many of the attractions in Ruidoso and an alto were pretty busy.
GuideGreat site for a small group. 4 official camp sites with fire ring and picnic benches. Great group fire pit with benches. Fantastic group canopy site with picnic tables. Only one male and female vault toilets for the group and only one bear box. Conveniently close to Cloudcroft stores and restaurants.
LegendStopped in on the fly, was a great spot.
RangerSuper friendly family owned park. Great sunrise/sunset spot. Right across from giant pistachio
GuideI picked a spot way up at the top - it was very well maintained and clean. I didn’t use the laundry or showers. We used to to access white sands, Carlsbad and Roswell. Ruidoso is an amazing city that we fell in love with. Great places to eat - cafe rio, hall of flame, and Anaheim jacks being three of them. Donna, the manager of the park is very sweet and accommodating. Joe, who does maintenance and shows you to your place is a great guy and makes sure you are settled. The only reason I took off is for the construction noise being at the edge of the park - they are developing something along the back and they worked all week long starting at 6a. It should be done by the time you get there. Maybe call Donna and she will get you a good place - I used Campspot for the booking.
ScoutThere is NO River, small stream in a ditch. LIE# 2. Internet indicates SHOWERS. However if your camper has a shower ACCESS TO SHOWERS. DENIED!!! Also No fires allowed ! Highway noise drowns out any Peaceful sounds. In truth: NO Amenities… play in the ditch or stay in your camper.
TravelerLovely level sites, as I am in a van. Spacious sites, firebox available, tables at the sites, deer, wild horses come to visit. Firewood available per bundle.

Distance from supplies: Some cabin locations require advance preparation. "It's a little of the beaten path and the spots are no more than open areas... it's just a few minutes to the lakes.
