Cabin accommodations near Hanover, New Mexico are situated in the high desert terrain of southwestern New Mexico, at elevations ranging from 4,500 to 6,000 feet. The region experiences warm summers with temperatures averaging 90°F and cool winters with overnight lows frequently dropping below freezing. Winter snow is possible at higher elevations, particularly near the Gila National Forest where many cabin options are located.
What to do
Explore natural hot springs: At Faywood Hot Springs, visitors can access both clothing-required and clothing-optional soaking pools. "The desert landscape here shines as there is nothing around for miles (very quiet). DEFINITELY recommend booking a private hot spring tub after dark. The stars are INCREDIBLE," notes one visitor.
Hike nearby trails: Burro Mountain Homestead offers direct access to forest trails. "Most of the residents there stay for months at a time, it's very quiet and green right now. Deer also roam the area and they came close up multiple times," reports a camper.
Visit historic sites: Short drives from cabin accommodations lead to significant cultural attractions. "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," a guest at Continental Divide Park & Camp shared.
What campers like

What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Winter visitors should prepare for below-freezing overnight temperatures, while summer visitors should expect intense sun exposure at cabin sites without shade structures.
Reservation requirements: Most cabins require advance booking, especially during spring and fall peak seasons when temperatures are milder. During summer, availability opens up due to high daytime temperatures.
Limited cooking facilities: Most cabins provide basic amenities only. "Sites are long and spacious, level, gravel, wide with shrubbery and some fencing between, adding lots of privacy. Both easy back in and pull through sites. Several large clean showers/bathrooms, laundry and library but no amenities like a pool or hot tub," reports a visitor to Rose Valley RV Ranch.
Access challenges: Some cabins require navigating unpaved roads. "To get here you have to go down 7 miles of dirt road, make sure to follow the signs not your GPS," warns a visitor regarding Burro Mountain Homestead.
Tips for camping with families
Pack entertainment: Due to remote locations, family-friendly cabin options require bringing your own entertainment. "My husband, our 4 year old, and myself stayed 2 nights as there wasn't a lot to do. We got to use his RZR to explore trails but I think we would have been bored without the RZR," noted a family staying at Burro Mountain Homestead.
Consider proximity to attractions: Continental Divide Park & Camp provides a central location for family exploration. "Perfect spot if one wants to park and then drive into the Gila forest or cliff dwellings. Just a few miles north of silver city. Nice drive to get supplies in town," mentions a reviewer.
Check pet policies: Many camping cabins near Hanover allow pets, but specific rules vary. Some cabins restrict certain breeds or charge additional pet fees.
