Best Cabin Camping near Mayhill, NM

Several cabin accommodations dot the forested landscape around Mayhill, New Mexico, providing rustic lodging options within Lincoln National Forest. The Camp @ Cloudcroft RV Park offers cabin rentals with full amenities including heating and air conditioning, while Cloud Climbing Railroad Cabin and RV Park provides cabin accommodations with basic furnishings. A recent review noted, "We stayed in the teardrop camper — so cold outside but the teardrop was warm and cozy. Since then we've been back several times! They have new beautifully renovated shower houses." High Country Arena and Gillespie Ranch RV Park and Horse Camp also maintain cabin options for visitors seeking a mountain retreat experience.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The KOA in Alamogordo offers clean, comfortable cabin accommodations approximately 30 minutes from Mayhill. "The camping cabin was clean and neat. They had the nicest KOA showerhouse I have seen in my travels," shared one visitor. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and hunting season in the fall. Pet policies vary by property—The Camp @ Cloudcroft and most KOA cabins welcome pets, while other properties maintain stricter policies. Winter visitors should confirm availability as some properties close seasonally.

Cabin amenities differ significantly between properties. Most provide beds with basic furniture, though guests typically need to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Some premium cabins include fully-equipped kitchens with refrigerators and cooking facilities, while basic cabins may only offer access to shared bathrooms and cooking areas. The on-site store at The Camp @ Cloudcroft stocks essential supplies, and the nearby town of Mayhill has a convenience store and gas station within walking distance of some properties. Visitors planning extended stays should consider bringing groceries from larger towns like Alamogordo or Cloudcroft before arrival.

    Cloud Climbing Railroad Cabin and RV Park

    Perfect little gem

    Super friendly owners. A beautiful and picturesque location in the Sacramento mountains. Easy in and out just a few miles from the village of Cloudcroft in the heart of the Lincoln National Forest. On property hiking trail, and an excellent common areas. Fruit trees abound, and picking fruit is allowed in season. They also have a cabin with multiple rental rooms. Full RV hookups and wifi at very reasonable rates. It is close to the road, but traffic is minimal at night. They are open year round!

    The Camp @ Cloudcroft RV Park

    They think of everything!

    We love Royce and the Camp @ Cloudcroft. We started out coming here NYE. We stayed in the teardrop camper — so cold outside but the teardrop was warm and cozy. Since then we’ve been back several times! They have new beautifully renovated shower houses. They have a Yurt with all you could ever think of as well as a pop up trailer (amazing king size bed). When you rent these, you basically can come with clothes and food. They think of everything else from utensils, grills, stoves, linens, seasonings ... even a deck of cards! There’s WiFi throughout the campground. They also have RV spaces and tent areas. Super super nice staff (Sissy and her pup Mickey). Can’t recommend this place enough and we can’t wait to get back to our home away from home!!

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    The friendliest staff

    City camping close to restaurants and stores. Only about 10 minuets from White Sands State Park. Partly shaded gravel sites with water, electric, fire ring, picnic table. Campsites are very close to pool, playground, and restroom/showers. Very clean with a well stocked store and friendly staff. The staff gave us great tips for local venues, loaned us sleds for White Sands and rewarded my boys with popsicles for their good manners.

    Bonito Hollow RV Park & Campground

    Perfect in every way

    This campground has it all. Beautiful surroundings, not far from downtown shopping in Ruidoso, most helpful hosts on site. My husband was not in the best of health when we went. The hosts helped him set up, with them doing the majority of the work, in the rain. The campground is pet friendly, has an enclosed run where you can take them off the leash for a bit, also has several locations with poop bags available. This seems to be a super secure location as hosts are on duty 24/7. No one comes into the campground without stopping at the office and checking in, anyone failing to do this, will be followed in and information gathered or asked to leave. Sites, once vacated are gone over with a fine tooth comb to make sure Nothing is left behind, the fire pits are cleaned, and everything is in order for the next camper. There are horseshoe pits and sand volleyball available for entertainment. Showers and laundry facilities are available and kept super clean. Rio Bonito flows along the side of the campground

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    Alamogordo/White Sands KOA

    My children and I stayed only one night at the Alamogordo/White Sands KOA, but it was a great place to stop and play! The kids enjoyed the pool and game room, our camping cabin was clean and neat. They had the nicest KOA showerhouse I have seen in my travels. They were having an ice cream social as we arrived which was a bonus after a long hot day of adventure. This was a great base for exploring the area, including White Sands National Monument and the White Sands Missle Range Museum/Missle Park.

    Prepare for the heat! There is not much shade on these adventures. My one complaint about this KOA is it needed more shade around the pool.

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    Great Campground

    The plot was a nice sized area with electric plug ins available at the campsite and your own fire pit and picnic table. Would camp here again.

    Bonito Hollow RV Park & Campground

    Nice park, friendly hosts

    I was looking to get away from the heat in Albuquerque and maybe even do a little fishing. I picked a site next to the upper river (Rio Bonito). The water was clear and moving, but no sign of any fish. The river is more of a creek (expected for New Mexico), but still pretty. It was barely visible from my camp, but just a short hike away. No ATT or Verizon cell service at my site, but I did find a weak signal up near the office. The wifi was a struggle. It was barely adequate the first day, but absolutely miserable the second day. I could easily connect to their router, but constantly got an error of “no internet service” and had to log off and on several times. I had limited shade at my site, but thankfully the AC kept the trailer cool enough, as it was nearly 90 degrees outside. The hosts were very nice and the park is kept pretty clean. No tents allowed, though.

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    Desert Oasis Fun For All Ages

    In direct contrast to the White Sands backcountry camping which offers absolutely zero thrills and access to luxuries, the White Sand KOA is a great place to stay for those wanting some of the comforts of home. Located about 10 minutes from White Sands this campground is in a great location for a run to the store, a meal at one of the great local restaurants or a trip to some of the other area attractions.

    While visiting here I noticed there were plenty of options for RV campers, something lacking at the White Sands itself. But RV camping is not all created equal, and this one by far surpasses other area options. Sites were latge enough even for the largest of rigs but also offered smaller sites for someone traveling a bit lighter like myself.

    Tent row seemed to be a very popular options and while the sites here were a bit closer together there was still plenty of room to move around.

    The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. The restrooms were private and very well throught creating a feeling of being at home while on the road. There was even a small store located on property with goodies and merchandise to commemorate your trip to the area.

    This place really has the family in mind with a pool, playground and game room which will leave a smile on the faces of even the smallest guests.

    Tips:

    • Go check out the New Mexico Space Museum where you can find the first primate launched into space's memorial, some awesome space rockets and tons of information that will leave your head in space.
    • Take a trip out to the White Sands only a short 10 minute drive from camp and spend the day sledding down the cool white dunes.
