    Taos Monte Bello RV Park

    Wonderful views, spacious sites!

    We really like this RV Park! The spaces are wide and angled enough to allow for great views! There are no trees, so you will be using your AC and awning when it’s hot out. Sites were quite level and hookups are easy access. There are both full hookup sites and water and electric only sites; there is an RV dump. Laundry, restrooms and convenience store are still closed due to Covid - much of New Mexico is still this way. It is right off Highway 64 which has a minimal amount of road noise, but provides easy access.There’s a Pet Resort across the road where you hear dogs barking in the distance in the mornings. They do need to start working on weed control before the weeds get out of hand. Each of those negatives are so minimal, I still rate this as a five! Wide spaces and good views are always strong points in my reviews!

    Road Runner RV Resort

    Breathtaking Views

    This park was a great choice. Tucked in a canyon with a stream running through it, we secured a spot on the water. Large pine trees, tiered spots, walking distance to the cute town of Red River.

    Small gift shop with very few items, no firewood for sale that I could see. Friendly staff, dog park, fishing, deer come in every night

This is a A+ resort for TV camping.

    Alamosa KOA

    What you expect...

    Clean camp, nice amenities. Dog park is a little small, but is nice to have a place for dogs. Pool was very nice. Was disappointed in our tent site as it was all gravel with brush behind us. Pics online showed nice grassy tent sites with big trees. We had dogs with us, and it sucked to only have gravel for them to sit/lie on at our site. Otherwise, friendly place!

    Questa Lodge & RV Resort

    Beautiful grounds

    Stayed in spot R1 which is pretty small/crowded in, but near river and trees. Lovely duck and geese ponds and river walk, also dog park. Clean restrooms and showers but no changing stalls in either mens/womens shower. Very quiet and affordable. Near to grocery. Grounds are well-kept and healthy & green (lots of trees, shrubs, beautiful walk by river). Sorry pics are a bit washed out, doesn't do it justice.

    LUXX - Taos RV Park

    Great Stay!

    Smaller camp ground, with modern and very clean bathrooms and showers! Dog friendly, with a small dog park to boot. Easy in and out, hooks ups and wifi. Manager on site and very attentive. We stayed April 1 for one night, was quiet, friendly and comfortable. Will stay again!

    Taos Valley RV Park & Campground

    Right outside town

    Not a bad setting. Surrounded by mountains, yet you are really in the city of Taos. Prices are fair, pull through with Electric and Water $43.00. The landscape is really cool, fits the New Mexico motif. A little noisy in the morning with the barking dogs in the surrounding neighborhood. We felt safe with no problems.

    Angel Fire RV Resort

    Luxury RV resort with phenomenal views!

    We visited here for a week in October and loved this area. The topography is unmatched! The RV sites were so beautiful and ample. We enjoyed the dog park with our furry buds and enjoyed the hikes around AF. So much to do in this area. Some of it was shut down during the pandemic, but this place is top notch!!

    Angel Fire RV Resort

    Can’t wait to come back

    The views from the park are beautiful, and the park landscaping is equally wonderful. The spots are paved and level with decent space between the spots. The amenities are also great - they have pickleball, bocce ball, a playground, dog park, nice laundry and RR/showers. They also had fun activities (even during COVID) like weekend morning waffles and Friday night s’mores. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.
