Best Tent Camping near Deming, NM

I have to change my review, we spoke with Wayne the day before either he is forgetful or doesn’t listen well. We are looking for tent camping and always state that upfront because many camping grounds don’t allow it. He told us yesterday that the office closes early 1:30 pm, but just pick a spot and pay the next morning. When ever I go to settle up at 1030. Am he had forgotten the conversation. We have to pack up n leave. So no tents.

Shabby, looks like for long term residents. Tight spaces. Run down appearance. Off of main road so there is loud car as well as train noise. 55+ age restrictions. Checked it out but would not stay here. No tent sites available.  Has wifi, cable, and laundry. 30 & 50 amp as well as pull through sites. 

There are other RV parks in this area that are much nicer and more welcoming and at around the same price.

This park is off of a 4 lane main road so road noise is an issue. Trains and highway noise can also be heard throughout the night. The facilities are clean and well kept. Full hook ups 30/50 amp sites, no tents. Sites are a bit close to your neighbor. Large flat gravel lot typical of RV parks. 

Have yearly rates so some spaces are occupied by residents. 

This is a 55+ park. Pet friendly, WiFi/cable and laundry available.

New Mexico safe certified, trained in Covid-19 safe practices. 

This is a well run secure park with clean grounds. Bathroom and showers are clean and sanitized regularly. 

All pull thru sites with full hook ups 30/50 amp, max length 65ft, no tents. 

It is off of a main road and the highway and trains can also be heard. Walmart and other shopping further down the street.

Clean, friendly, and flat. Planed an overnight stop but stayed 4 nights. Deming is in the center of many activities no matter your interests. Are you a rockhound or someone who wants a quick safe trip across the border or are you interested in visiting the chile capital of the world Hatch. Deming has you covered. Also a great museum

This RV park is fully loaded and easy to locate, but keep in mind is 55+. Has spectacular views and the town of Deming is ultra quaint.

I booked a stay during a New Mexico snow/ice storm!! I went past the farm by a couple blocks and couldn’t get turned around or backed up. The wife opted to have her husband come get me into place. The farm is full of animals with a beautiful view and great rates. In addition it’s an EQUINE SAFE HAVEN. So if you ever come to visit please leave a little extra cash, They’re doing Gods work here and it truly a blessing to see.

I will be back!

The area doesn't feel the safest but it's a cheap place to stay when in Deming, NM. The host was very friendly and checked on us after we set up. They have a pretty nice laundry facility considering the park is mostly a gravel lot. Our spot is level! The men's bathroom has a shower(didn't look), the women's is being renovated. There's also a fitness center. PROS: $20 full hookups Laundry room Nice host Residents decorations (lights)

CONS: Sketchy area Loud street noise Questionable long term residents Older folk RV park (not really kid friendly but we have 3)

Nice clean park, friendly staff. Sits between busy 4 lane road and highway and train noise from opposite side. Pull thru or back in sites available with full hook ups 30 amp or 50 amp. Propane on site as well for fill ups. Walmart and Auto Zone conveniently down the road.

We stayed here in late October for just one night. We were travelling from Phoenix to Albuquerque, and had not made reservations because we weren't sure how far we'd get that day. About 4 hours before we arrived, we decided Deming would be our stop and we were able to get reservations at Little Vineyard. Granted, we were late in the day, and "beggars can't be choosers", but considering we saw many open spots(it's a pretty big RV part), the fact that we were place DIRECTLY under one of the few street lamps scattered around the park was truly awful. Unfortunately, we didn't really register this fact in our minds when we first were parked, and really saw the impact when we went to bed and the light was blaring through our vents! Our bedroom was lit all night. Truly awful; not sure why they would place lamps in such a way. Also, about every 4 spots has a picnic table. We received a spot WITHOUT, even though we saw nearby sights with tables and no lamps. So maybe we were punished for not reserving earlier. All this could be corrected in a future stay and we could chalk it up to bad planning/communication. 

HOWEVER, the site is VERY near the interstate. We've stayed near interstates before and not had any real issues, but with the blaring light...we noticed. And then there are the trains! It felt like the trains(I think there were 4 that night) were passing right through the park itself. So in the end, my wife and I got a terrible nights sleep.

The staff we interacted with were VERY friendly. The park is a little rundown, but has plenty of amenities from what we saw. On our site, the electric and water worked great. Sewer was right there. It has all the pieces you could want, especially for a brief stay. But I think if we stop in Deming again, we'll look further up the road to get away from the trains and interstate noise. And if we DO stay here again, we will insist on a spot away from that godawful light!!

This is a very nice park as far as scenery, the staff which is a husband and wife, are friendly enough. With no offense to anyone else who has written positives on this park, we don't mean to rain on your parade. But the one thing that really threw us back was, is that there are virtually no amenities, that come without a cost, if a person wants to take a shower, let's say for 5 minutes, that cost you$3, for yourself, and three more dollars for your spouse, add that up daily then multiply by weekly and then by monthly. And you can see that that is insane for the cost, and one does not find out about this until you get to the campground and fill out the paperwork and then they let you know this at the last minute, I am a handicap person, and needless to say, I count on Campground showers as there are roomier, and we make sure that we pay more than enough in our stay, so that we can enjoy such. But sadly for the month that we were there between November the 20th to December 20th. There was nothing very pleasurable, about our stay there. On top of that, there is no internet, nor do they have any Commerce with any service that has internet service, even though other RV parks in that region have them. There is no cable either. So basically the only thing that you get is your spot, running water, trash, and Sewer, for 425 per month. Needless to say as a forwarding to anybody, if you plan to travel between that park there and Silver City New Mexico it is approximately 12 miles between the two, but the expence gets up there quik, bth ways if you drive a truck. We camped at Ridge Park RV& Campground in a Travel Trailer.

I was worried that this place wasn’t open due to the fact there were only two reviews and it had been a while since a review. I can happily share that they are open and thriving. I was driving from Gila Cliff Dwellings towards White Sands NP and needed a place to camp. I passed some dispersed camping along the way, but most of the cultivated sites were closed, I’m guessing due to COVID as New Mexico has really cracked down on their camping and I ran into lots of sites that were either closed or only open to residents. Anyway, this place was a STEAL. For only $21 (the typical price of most regular vault toilet and picnic table camp sites), you get heaven on earth. You wouldn’t expect it driving in from either direction, but the sites themselves are extremely shaded and surrounded by trees and as private as possible given the close proximity to neighbors. I stayed at site #47 and even though I was right next to the pools and bathhouse, I couldn’t be seen at all from those places. There’s a potable water tap at EACH campsite, free showers, unlimited 24/7 access to hot springs (clothing required & clothing optional pools), a clubhouse to wash dishes or cook or simply hang out inside in a comfortable chair to read or play games at a table), several bathrooms, phone service (and I didn’t have any driving in or out), peacocks and other wildlife to admire, friendly staff, firewood for sale, labyrinth maze, short scenic trails to watch the sunset and rise, inside facilities, amazing cabins (cheapest one is only $60 and comes with an hour long soak in a private pool which is otherwise $28 for one hour), etc. I could go on and on about this place. The best $21 I have ever spent to spend the night anywhere in my entire life and I am always camping and traveling. A literal oasis. I soaked from 7pm-11pm and had the pools to myself several times on a Sunday evening. Everyone was respectful and there was no sense of party / loud groups as so common is seen at hot springs. Alcohol allowed.

This park is right off main road so can be noisy, there is also highway and train noise. Sites are close together but overall grounds are clean and well maintained.
