GuideGreat location. Not far from Alamogordo. The views are amazing. We stayed further down than where the rest of the campers are at so very quiet. Woke up this morning and they just laid more dirt down on the road so should be better getting in and out. The main road to here is paved and leads to Oliver Lee State Park. The only complaints would be there is a lot of broken glass around so be careful walking your dogs. Would definitely come back here.

GuideThis small campground is basically in a ravine below the U-Bend of a mountain road (in the middle of the U). The location is a little noisy with local cars, but it didn't keep me up at night. It is stunningly beautiful and lush and the highway in from the east was a gorgeous drive.The deer are close, but thankfully have not been fed human food, so they keep their distance as it should be.
Chilly at night due to the high elevation. Camp host was super and the vault toilets very clean.
GuideThis place is absolutely stunning. The view of the mountains is amazing. You do have to take a gravel / dirt road about 6 miles to get to it. Be prepared to take it slow. We did it in a Ford Maverick pulling a light weight trailer. The campground road is actually worse than the main road. Once you here though it is worth it.
GuideGreat statepark, close to alamagordo white sands, pretty and large sites, with mountains and trails on the campsite. Price 20$ per night for no hook ups. Dumpster will open soon
GuideHave a pull thru site, with full hook ups. Good laundry and bathrooms here. Campground in Tularosa, so had fun exploring Cloudcraft, White sands National park, and Ruidosa. Beautiful state indeed
GuideIf Ruidoso is your kind of town, Midtown Mountain is your kind of RV park, and I'll tell you why...
First off, a tiny bit of explanation. Ruidoso is a tiny mountain village from the 1840's, carved out along the river it's named for.
The business district with historic shops, restaurants, and Tahoe-type vistas is called Midtown, and the park is right at its edge so you can literally walk everywhere, thus "Midtown Mountain." No other RV park in town is located like that.
Everything about the mountain is different from the desert that surrounds it, from the scenery to the climate. Be prepared for several kinds of weather and temperature changes in one day, along with the scented air that will make you think you're in a Glade commercial.
I like my bathroom and shower and never tried theirs, but the laundry is nice, clean, close, and cheap.
The park is very professionally run with on-site management present 24/7. A general policy of "be nice!" seems to be retained by everyone, both staff and guests, and this goes a long way toward making the park special.
Wi-Fi signal is strong and fast. Cellphones work as expected. Consistent high water pressure (bring a regulator) and good shore power.
The Midtown location does mean more road noise, especially on weekends when tourism soars. Nights are quiet aside from a few bikers and UTV people who like to be noisy.
As a special bonus, wild elk, deer, and mustangs have full run of the campsite, like they do the entire town! You could see a pretty pony on a dog walk, or meet an elk at the gas station. No joke!
GuideClose to cloudcroft Had a fun 2 nights here great views between the trees. it rained all night before leaving and had no trouble getting out in a truck and trailer
ScoutNice camp, lot of full time residents.

Visit White Sands National Park: Located about 54 miles southwest of Mayhill, this unique landscape features brilliant white gypsum sand dunes. "We stayed here a week and now wish we had booked two weeks. Lincoln National Forest is a little slice of heaven," says Mark from Cool Pines RV Park. Some campgrounds even provide equipment: "They even have sleds to loan out for the dunes," reports Jeff H.
Explore mountain towns: The charming mountain town of Cloudcroft is just 15 miles away. At Mountain Meadows RV Park, campers find it's "about 30 minutes from White Sands National Park and Cloudcroft. The host is very responsive and helpful via call or text," according to Tijana & Andrew C.
Cooler temperatures: The mountain elevation provides relief from desert heat. "Just came from Midland TX where it was around 98, today at Cool Pines RV Park 72° at 3pm in the afternoon," writes Joseph W. This temperature difference can be significant, especially during summer months.

It was very quiet and relaxing."
Site spacing varies: Some RV parks have close quarters while others offer more space. At Edgington RV Park, "Sites go opposite directions and are snug - so you'll be close to your drivers side neighbors and have a shared space with your door side neighbors if you go for a with sewer pull through," explains Kristen M.
Weather considerations: The mountain climate can change quickly. "We had a massive thunder storm in the middle of the night, which was slightly terrifying. I'd check the weather in advance," advises Andrea about Mountain Meadows RV Park.
