  Jag's Red Carpet RV Park

  Best RV park in town

  By far the best RV park in town. Clean drinkable water. Clean shower and bathroom available to these who choose to not use their own. Lots of shade. Wildlife walk through the park often. Police patrol the area often. Owner lives on site and is very helpful when needed.

  Lake 13-Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge

  Fantastic views

  We stayed here 1 night on our trip back to Texas from Colorado. 

  Plenty of room for several rvs/vans  and tent campers.  Picnic tables and trash bins available.  No shade, no potable water, no electric, no sewer.  True boondocking site.  There are pit toilets at the entrance to the camping zone.   Roads are gravel and well maintained.  

  Great site for a touch-n-go overnight stay while traveling.

  Lake Alice Campground — Sugarite Canyon State Park

  Nice campground with clean showers!

  Stayed: May 22, 2024 Cost: $18 Site: Lake Alice Loop - 01 Cell Service: None (AT&T and T-Mobile) Equipment: Tent

  We stayed in the Lake Alice loop in Site 1. We tented, but it looks like they have it split between tents and RVs, and this was technically an RV site. It had water and electric, so that’s why we chose this site. Sites were nice and clean, with a fire ring and table. Close to neighbors.

  Vault toilet in the loop and running water and showers located 1/2 mile from the Lake Alice loop. Showers were very nice for a campground. They were actual showers, not just concrete or dirty tile, and had plenty of room and hooks for clothing. Two showers per side for Men’s and Women’s.

  No cell service for either of our carriers, and I don’t think for any, until about a mile beyond the shower house, prior to the entrance of the park.

  Lake 13-Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge

  Easy access from I-25, not much privacy

  Great location about half way between Albuquerque and Colorado Springs. I snuck in late one night and napped 2 hours near the pit toilets and left before daylight, so as not to disturb the campers with my brief stay. Pit toilets a plus of course. Can be frosty.

  Raton Pass Camp & Cafe

  Good for a night passing through

  We booked a view site at this campground after reading about the incredible views but unfortunately, when we arrived, it was completely socked in, and we could not see a thing! Views the next morning were much better but although we had a view of the mountains, we also had a view of Highway 25 (and could hear highway noise). It was considered spring slow and there were only two other campers there besides us (and I believe one of them was the workamper), so it was quiet. In high season, however, there is no separation/privacy between sites. All sites are gravel, and each site has a picnic table. 

  The office was closed (as was the café) but we received a text message the morning of our arrival confirming our stay (it was pre-paid) and giving us directions to the campground, the bathhouse code, and the WiFi code. The bath/shower house was very clean and there was laundry available for a very reasonable price of $1 for the washer and $ 1 for the dryer. The showers looked very clean as well but did not use them as it was below freezing during our stay (late April). 

  Sorry to be the one to harsh the mellow of all the five-star reviews but for us, even though our stay was quiet and uneventful (and the amenities were clean), the proximity to the highway and closeness of the sites are generally not our preferred type of camping.

  Raton Pass Camp & Cafe

  Great place to stop for the night

  This place sits upon a mountain and overlooks such a beautiful view! The staff are wonderful and make you feel welcome. The only thing that would’ve made the stay better, is if the spots were further apart. It was very busy so everyone was parked right up against one another. It’s a small place so it makes sense why it had to be that way, but still a great spot to spend a night or two!

  Carpios Ridge Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park

  Clean bathrooms, some spots with good views over lake

  Clean bathrooms, coin operated showers, spots a little closer than I'd like but not close to full when we visited. Good easy hike/strolls in the area with views of the lake.

  Carpios Ridge Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park

  Great Views! Nice hiking.

  Camped in a small RV in site 13 which had a fairly level gravel pad. There was a tent site, but it looked to have been washed away. This site had great views of the mountain and lake. Enjoyed the short hike on Levsa - a one mile loop with up high views of Lake Trinidad. The Carpios trail was steep and rocky. Didn't have time for the 3 other trails. Showers and Laundry nice. Saw some deer and a wild hare. Somewhat nearby is Capulin Volcano National Monument. Highly recommended.

  Lake Alice Campground — Sugarite Canyon State Park

  Worth the price, kind of remote

  Small campground near CO border. Perks would be lake at top of mountain, 5-7 min drive from CG and showers, at entrance to park. Downfall is you need to drive to everything unless you want to walk along trails on the other side of road. Trails in park were nice - t-mobile service did not work at all, zero bars. Bear boxes provided, deer walked through campground often. I did see bear tracks while hiking but host said they’ve never been a human issue.

  Capulin RV Park

  Nice park, small, but convenient to Capulin Volcano

  Capulin RV Park is a pretty nice private RV park across the highway from the Capulin Volcano National Monument entrance road. We stayed one night. Some of the sites are shady. The park streets and sites are crushed limestone. The park was clean and quiet. The sites are very close together; fortunately, it was not full and we had room. Restrooms and showers were clean (did not use shower). Amenities include: common fire ring with seating and view of volcano, swing with view of volcano.

  Stayed in pull-thru campsite #25 which had evening shade and level. It was a crushed limestone site. There was barely enough parking for my 34 ft TT. Neighbors are VERY close. Utilities: 20/30/50A electric in middle of site. Water in middle of site, good pressure. Sewer in middle of site with 4-in screw-on fitting.

  AT&T had two bars of LTE service. AT&T Speedtest: 36.6 Mbps down, 7.5 Mbps up. Free WiFi is available, but did not use it.

  The town of Capulin, NM is very small. The closest restaurant is The Sierra Grande Restaurant in Des Moines, NM, which is open year round for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Other restaurants and fast food are available in Raton and Clayton.

  Would stay here again.

  Carpios Ridge Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park

  Close sites, but convenient location

  First off - we tent camped in this RV heavy campground. sites were a little too close for comfort. Coin-operated showers were nice but got dirty and gross quickly. Not far from town, and lake has lots of fun opportunities.

  Clayton Lake State Park Campground

  Cute park and loved the dinosaur tracks!

  Everything was very green in the 10 mile trek into the park. Our spot was in the Cove campground - noon-a and no water. We have enough solar power to sustain. The lake was gorgeous and the dinosaur footprints and tracks were really interesting! The spots are not right on top of each other - so very nice. They have potable water at the visitors center. There were candies with water and electric - we were too late to book.

  Lake 13-Maxwell National Wildlife Refuge

  Easy to access off 25

  Nice views, level, has a pit toilet, trash and recycling. It was a nice spot to spend a night heading home. There are several picnic tables too. We pulled in around 5pm on a Friday and there were 3 other vans in the camping area with plenty of room.

  Lake Alice Campground — Sugarite Canyon State Park

  GEM!

  2022 headed home from CO to Dallas and didn't want to stay in Amarillo again so we threw the dice and were able to snag an AMAZING spot (no hookups) for one night. Tha-t was all we needed to make this our go-to place to stop at beginning and end of each trip.  Lots of options for camping (we pull a TAB 400) - camp host was so cool and friendly. Absolutely beautiful views and clean facilities (we only used the toilets)  We were surprised and pleased with Sugarite!

  Carpios Ridge Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park

  Beautiful and Peaceful

  This is a beautiful peaceful place. I heard no road noise during my stay. All camping sites are nicely maintained. There are a few hiking trails that lead from the campground but stay away from 0.5 mile ridge trail that is very washed out and treacherous.

  Nice Stop for Volcano

  The couple running the park are very nice. Bathrooms are clean. The water is off for the winter season but they do have water to fill your tanks if you wish. It was $50 for our site for the night.

  Raton KOA

  Not much to see but good place for a quick stop.

  We stopped for a night on our way from Great Sand Dunes National Park to Palo Duro Canyon, needing to dump our tanks and do some laundry after boondocking for a number of days. Raton KOA was just what we needed. The staff members were friendly, bathrooms were clean, and the laundry facilities did the job. The close proximity to grocery stores was an added bonus!

  Carpios Ridge Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park

  Wonderful Place to stay!

  Well kept and quiet place to stay.

  Most sites have a gravel tent pad to use, if you do not have an rv or trailer.

  Several water spigots throughout the park as some sites are FHU, mainly near the front of the park. 

  Several trails to hike and wonderful views to see as well.

  Heads up, the main restrooms/showers and laundry close from Nov to Mar. There are smaller ones on the Eastside of the building that are accessible.

  Only the sounds of nature, other than the flies around 3pm it was perfect. In winter or loads of rain the dirt road could become very difficult to pass.

  Clayton Lake State Park Campground

  Night Sky Viewing and Dinasaur Tracks

  Clayton Lake State Park near Clayton, New Mexico turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It is a small state park with several small camogrounds spread around the reservoir which is popular for fishing. Our campground had about a half dozen sites overlooking the lake. The opportunity to see dinasaur tracks and attend star parties make this park unique. The campground host is an amateur astronomer who regularly hosts very well-attendedstar parties. Water and electric were available at our campsite, but the park does not have a dump station.

  South Shore Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park

  Hot and windy!

  It was hot and I was probably a little cranky when we arrived here but state parks, in general, are charging more and more and for $38 (including the required $10 Colorado State Parks day use fee), I believe we did not get much value for our money at this campground. Access to the campground is down a long, bumpy washboard dirt road. 

  The South Shore Campground has ten non-electric sites within supposed walking distance of the lake, although we did not go to the lake. Sites 101-104 and 107-109 are wide gravel driveways and 105, 106, and 110 are pull-throughs. Although sites are decent in size, there is no physical separation between them.

  There were only vault toilets (which were clean) and no showers (I had really been hoping for a shower!). 

  Each site has a bbq grill, fire pit, and covered picnic table. However, it was so windy when we were there and because of the direction the wind was blowing, the cover was useless, we had to use our van as a wind block to cook dinner, and eat inside the van. 

  One of the rules was only 3.4% alcohol allowed. Fishing appeared to be popular here and there is a path along the dam, but it is a far distance from the campground. 

  State parks used to be our go-to option, but we are finding we are using them less and less often as the prices continue to increase.
