Best Cabin Camping near Ocate, NM

69 Reviews

Rustic cabins near Ocate, New Mexico provide accommodations at several established campgrounds within reasonable driving distance. Agua Piedra Campground in the Carson National Forest features historic log cabins with basic amenities, offering a more primitive cabin experience with picnic tables and fire pits but limited electrical services. Angel Nest RV Retreat provides more modernized cabin options with full hookups, showers, and running water. Las Vegas/New Mexico KOA Journey offers cabin rentals with heating for cold nights, making them suitable for off-season stays. "Our camping cabin needed chinking, I could see light through the logs. Happily there was a heater for the cold rainy night," noted one visitor about the KOA cabins.

Options range from tiny log cabins to spacious family-sized layouts. The KOA cabins in Las Vegas tend to be smaller but functional, while 4K River Ranch and Red River RV provide more substantial cabin accommodations. Most cabins permit pets, though specific pet policies vary by location. Pendaries RV Resort cabins remain available year-round, while others like Road Runner RV Resort operate seasonally from May through October. According to one visitor at 4K River Ranch, their cabins offer excellent amenities: "They've got RV sites, apartments, cabins and a beautiful penthouse in the center of town overlooking the town and mountain."

Most rustic cabins include basic furniture and beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties - KOA cabins typically offer minimal cooking options, while larger resort cabins at Pendaries and Angel Nest may include more complete kitchenettes. Several campgrounds with cabins operate small on-site markets, including Pendaries RV Resort and Golden Eagle RV Park, though selection is limited to essentials. Firewood is available for purchase at many locations with cabin rentals, particularly at Agua Piedra Campground and Angel Nest RV Retreat. A recent review noted that at Las Vegas KOA, "They provide a full breakfast for a very nominal cost which got us going and out quickly."

    Agua Piedra Campground

    Great Northern New Mexico Camp

    We stayed at this site on the way back to Texas from our Colorado trip this summer. This is a great National Forest Campground south of Taos in the Carson Forest. The campground is just off the highway and situated in a beautiful mountain pine forest and next to a great trout stream. You have great shade during the hotter summer months. It’s far enough away from the highway that you don’t hear the traffic. It has a huge meadow and group camp site which look fantastic. The individual sites have some privacy between the sites and come equipped with fire pits and picnic tables. We made a reservation but the camp had a number of open sites in the peak summer season. The highlight here is the proximity of great hiking to nearby lakes and fishing in the trout stream. They had great facilities including clean pit toilets and some historic log cabins. They have a camp host and the sites accommodate tents and smaller vans and campers. I would give this another visit on our next trip to NM.

    Good service

    The whole crew seemed to be experienced. friendly, accommodating and right on top of operations. Clean shower and common areas with a homemade breakfast available too! It’s off season but the core functions are solid so I could see another stop here to soak in the sun and the pool.

    Las Vegas/New Mexico KOA Journey

    Top notch beauty, but needs some work

    The Las Vegas, NM KOA was one of the prettiest KOA settings I have seen. It is a stunning location, and the town of Las Vegas is charming. The owners are were kind and helpful. That being said, this property is tired and in need of some maintenance and love. Our camping cabin needed chinking, I could see light through the logs. Happily there was a heater for the cold rainy night. The shower house was in great need of an update. Breakfast was delicious, but really slow as there was only one kind gentleman doing the cooking and there were several groups to feed. Some people cancelled their orders and left rather than staying to eat.

    All that said, I would stay here again. The people were kind, the cost was reasonable, and it still beats a tent in the rain when passing through on a long road trip. And as I said at that start - it is beautiful. My kids loved the playground.

    This was our base of operations for a visit to Fort Union National Historic Site.

    Questa Lodge & RV Resort

    RV park with a campground feel

    Nice park nestled at the foot of the mountains and on the banks of the Red River. Nicely landscaped with two ponds and a river walk. Location is great for visiting Rio Grande del Norte NM and the Wild Rivers Recreation Area. Just north of Taos too. Nicely shaded, level sites with full hookups. Nice picnic table and grill. Might be a little tight for big rigs, but my little Casita was quite happy. Very friendly folks in the office. Clean laundry and restroom. My site backed up to the river and the sound of the rushing water was the perfect lullaby.

    Sierra Bonita Cabins & RV Park

    It's very run down

    We stayed in the cabins. They are very ran down. The sink plumbing leaks. Utility closet has a hole in the door about 7 in in diameter and there is an animal that lives in there and scratches on the wall at night. The furniture is old and decrepid. The people that run it are as sweet as can be. The place is terribly ran down.

    4K River Ranch

    Best RV Park in Red River

    This is the best rv park in Red River. The river runs right through the park. There is a trout pond, playground, pavilion with live music on most Fridays during the summer and they also have condos and cabins. The staff is so helpful and friendly. If you want to get out of the heat of the summer this is the place to be. Red River is 8,750’ above sea level in the mountains. Daytime temp is in the 70°s and nights are in the 50°s all summer long.

    Agua Piedra Campground

    Quiet at 8000’

    Tent camped at this location in the middle of September (a week before closing). Very beautiful place to watch the leaves change, trailheads close by and picnic tables at each site. The site didn’t have an actual tent pad but we easily found a spot to pitch a tent. Will definitely be back!

    Angel Nest RV Retreat

    Great Views and Chili

    I had been boondocking up in the mountains in the rain all week and needed FHU to recharge.

    Can't remember the price I paid, but it was very reasonable.  Minutes from state park, lake access, and Eagle Nest.  Close to Angel Fire as well.

    Owner was super nice and invited me to come to the clubhouse for some chili - which was excellent!

    Views were shockingly good.  Because of the weather I felt like I was in the Scottish highlands or something, not New Mexico lol.

    Could use this as a stopover or a legit home base to explore surrounding areas.
