Along The River RV Park & Campground
False advertising !
There 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.
Three Rivers Campground
Clean, quiet, and beautiful!
This was a really nice spot we stumbled upon. It's about 13 miles off the 54 on BLM land. The road was smooth (though gravel most of the way). It was also super quiet since it was so far away from the road. The actual camp was in the trees and great views of the surrounding mountains. Each spot has a table, fire pit, and gazebo. There are also a few trailheads at the back of camp. The only downside was that it cost $15.
Three Rivers Campground
Tread Carefully, Fragile Ecosystems
Three Rivers Campground finally reopened "for good" at the start of 2024 after some stops and starts due to fires around the area.
This place is unique as it is one of the few places you can camp on the Western edge of Sierra Blanca / the White Mountain Wilderness. Tons of hiking opportunities with 3 separate trails originating at the campground.
Well maintained dirt roads lead up to the campground. There's a single spot where water flows over the road but it was only an inch or so deep and padded with concrete.
$6 per vehicle per night. Hosts present and active. Very nice couple watching over the sites.
Please tread lightly, leave no trace, and be gentle with the wilderness. This place has gone through a lot of fire related hardships.
Fort Stanton Cave Campground
Cold nights.
Very small campground with beautiful spots. Trash bins and awnings.
Along The River RV Park & Campground
Beautiful Camping
Lovely 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.
Fort Stanton Cave Campground
Totally concur with the reviews
It is a small but very nice campground. No electricity water or sewer but trash toilets and privacy. Would be hot in high summer and cold right now end of November but if you have a generator and can be off the grid what a cute place to be.
The Camp @ Cloudcroft RV Park
Yikes!
STAY FAR AWAY!!! This place was a nightmare. Over priced cheapy dirty lodging ran by a old men frat boys. The cabin was not as listed. It's a SHARED cabin with the owner although listed(and priced) as a private cabin. Listed as family friend yet we got a complaint that our kids noise was excessive from INSIDE of the cabin. The cabin comes with no view and lots of attitude. Decorated with cheap tacky prints in goodwill frames with price tags on every single one. The"maintenance guy" came onto the property on our 1st morning to yell at us and treat us like children over the fire pit we used the night before. He came trying to intimidate us, threatening that we are going to be charged for excessive damage, at the very start of our stay. There is NO communication here. No instructions, no checkout or checkin information, nothing. We placed a log on a propane firepit because we were supplied a nearly empty propane tank, and were unaware we could burn a log on it. Again, no information about ANYTHING anywhere inside or out. just an inaccurate map. Once he saw we were recording this, he sped off in his truck yelling"I'm taking away your fire privileges". We spent our Saturday morning cleaning out that firepit with our bare hands, it looked and functioned 10x better than when we arrived. Not my idea of vacationing! So we didn't mess with it the remainder of our 2 days there. We came for the view and campfire, both we didn't get to experience here. Went to talk to the owner after the maintenance man drama and he could care less and then sat there blaming us for excessive noise from my kids(sorry that you CHOOSE to live in the same cabin you rent), parking in"his driveway" for a few hours last night(again, you chose this life bud), and saying stupid things like,"wheres your realtors license"(huh?!?!). Biggest waste of money ever. There's a reason there are no pictures. Map advertises the other cabin is private and seperated, NOPE, shared cabin. Pictures are of the"amazing view", aka the owners junky backyard and a crappy doghouse(which we were scolded for turning on the light of). STAY ELSEWHERE, TRUST ME!
Sleepy Grass Campground
Beautiful place and cool
Lovely campsites, good tent sites and a few pull thru and back in sites for small Rv’s. Saw several teardrops. No showers but clean pit toilets.
Twin Spruce RV Park
Friendly clean rv park
We stayed here in January and the stay was wonderful. We were greeted by friendly and helpful hosts. Nice office and with couches and a book/dvd lending library. There is a pool in the summer and an area for breakfast. Our stay in January was wonderful. You can also refill your propane on site. We would come back here any time !
Along The River RV Park & Campground
Home away from home
Best rv campsite in the area clean and spacious sites , access to the River, firewood for sale and friendly owners. We have camped here the last 3 years and we love this place. Matt is a great host always helpful and kind. You will love this campground !

Ruidoso
We have stayed here many time, the owners are great and the rv park is great.
Cedar Creek (sam Tobias)
for groups only
I just talked to the camp host at the Cedar Creek recreation area, a sister side to the Cedar Creek San Tobias campground, Jamie. He said that the recreation area has a locked gate every night and every morning and no one is allowed to stay overnight inside. Sam Tobias has got a group site but unless you've got five or more people it's pretty darn expensive, must be for the locals.
Boot Hill RV Resort
Nice park!
Nice park, lovely sights, friendly staff and close to white sands National park!
Boot Hill RV Resort
Lovely park off the main route
What a nice experience we had staying at Boot Hill it was within close proximity to the pistachio farm which was fascinating and the sunsets were just omg what a great view. Must add 5 stars for cleanliness of the facilities and happy demeanor of the host.
Deer Spring RV Park
Deer spring rv park
Absolutely awesome park as it is, unfortunately there is a new owner that wants to change everything to make it compliant to sell to KOA.
Its perfect the way it is for long stays,now it’s going to be turned in to a overnighter. (Hope he makes lots of money) Also has a very hot headed manager that has zero people skills, and a foul mouth. Very un professionalThe Camp @ Cloudcroft RV Park
The camp at cloudcroft
Wonderful campground within walking distance of town of Mayhill. Level spots, good hookups, friendly hosts, and beautiful setting. Bring all your supplies though- not much in town except for cafe, convenience store and hotel. Lots of campers have hummingbird feeder’s and there are many hummingbirds here.
Moonflower Meadows RV Resort
Beautiful and peaceful
This park is quiet and peaceful with lots of birds and nightly visits by elk. Shannon has some beautiful flower bushes around the whole park and they were blooming when we were there. All sites are pull through. Our site was wide enough for my 32ft travel trailer, my pickup, my partner’s car, and his trailer with his motorcycle on it, and we still had room to move. There are mature trees at each site and throughout the park, and there’s an open field behind it. It is truly a hidden gem. We stayed for a month and 4 days, and it never filled up. Definitely better than most RV parks I’ve seen.
Sleepy Grass Campground
Amazing mountain forest campground!
We visited pSleepy Grass in May 2021 and it was an amazing campground fairly close to the town of Cloudcroft, but secluded enough to feel like the middle of an alpine forest. One of the highlights was that we got to see a wild stallion (according to the very friendly campground host) grazing in the campground while we were there. It was chilly and breezy at night with temps dropping into the high 30’s in mid-May (campground elevation is about 9,000ft). There are several pull-through sites spaces fairly far apart along the one main road, we were there mid-week and chose Site 13 which was great.
Very close to great hiking in nearby Cloudcroft and also close enough to do a day trip to White Sands NP down the mountain. Overall a great experience, would highly recommend!Boot Hill RV Resort
Excellent stay
So much to see in this area. White Sands, Cloudcroft Village, space museums, petroglyphs and the list goes on. Level sites, friendly helpful staff.
Boot Hill RV Resort
Tularosa Basin Base
We stayed here 2 nights while exploring the Alamogordo/ White Sands area. The park is well equipped with your basic needs-- laundry, FHU, gift shop, office, and a nice covered picnic area. It is north of the busiest part of town, so it is fairly quiet, even though you are right next to the highway. It definitely served our needs.
Boot Hill RV Resort
Does not accept Sprinter camper vans
We are traveling with our Sprinter camper van and tried to make a reservation there, based on the very positive reviews. Unfortunately, we were told, that their insurance does not allow these kinds of campers to stay in their park. I had to send the pictures of the inside and outside of our van before they decided that we can't stay there. I have no clue, what problem the insurance has with Mercedes Sprinter vans, so just a heads up.
Fort Stanton Cave Campground
Dispersed Camping at it's Best!
Secluded camping about 1.5 miles in from US Rt 380! On BLM land, the dirt road in is wash boarded in spots, but hey it's free. Three sites with room for bigger rigs, have picnic tables under shelters and trash cans. There are also pit toilets. Moreover, there's undeveloped dispersed sites further in, but high clearance vehicles is advised. Great Verizon cell service. We were there in November, and it got cold at night (one night down to 14 degrees F), during the day temps were in the mid 60's...so be prepared for cold nights and comfortable days.
Boot Hill RV Resort
Very clean,well spaced spots
Very clean was nice layout bathrooms very clean . I paid $35 night electric only then had to pay $5 water in my tank .only was a bit noisy next to the hiway and needs a little lightning around very dark . 2 dog areas was good location
Boot Hill RV Resort
Clean, quiet and a pistachio
Right across the road from the world's largest pistachio, this RV campground has all you would ever want. Friendly folks (both staff and campers) made it fun. We visited White Sands NP and Three Rivers Petroglyph Area from this spot, and each was about equal distance. Not that far from Alamogordo so we splurged and ate out one night. We missed the space museum, so we'll be back for that.
Fort Stanton Cave Campground
Only 3 Designated Campsites But Awesome Campground
For motorhomes and big rigs the three main campsites are really the only ones I would recommend camping in.
There are some small boondocking campsites further up cave canyon trail road but the road was pretty rough in spots.
Cell phone service was great in the campground and we got good data speeds.
The vault toilet was clean and there's a few garbage cans spread out the campground.
In October there were other campers there but there was an open site every day.
Some jeeps and OHV's went by during the day but it was still a great place to camp that was quiet at night.
This is the free campground. There's one that costs money with hookups a few miles away on the road that leads to Fort Stanton.
Boot Hill RV Resort
Clean, quiet, big rig friendly
Very well run place, the property inside and out is clean, it was quite, easy to,get in and out of, some long pull through sites, some covered sites, nice dog run. Would highly recommend this place! Cell great for Verizon and only 1-2 bars for AT&T
The Camp @ Cloudcroft RV Park
Great stay
We truly enjoyed our three night stay. The owners and managers were welcoming and friendly. The bath house has two large individual restrooms that each have a shower. We took our 8 year old boy and he had such a great time and spotted some deer close to camp. Rio Penasco is a nice small river that runs thru camp that was very relaxing to hear in the background and has a walking trail next to it. We will definitely stay here again.
