    Monument Lake Resort

    Beautiful start in south central Colorado

    A large campground at the foot of the southern San Isabel mountain range. When you first drive in there are secluded tent spots, then small cabins. There are many spots all around the lake, with large tenter sites on the opposite bank of the lake. We set up amongst the trees in a relatively open spot but there weren’t many campers there so it was no problem. Had a view of the lake and a vault toilet nearby (it was pretty disgusting). Clean showers/toilets on other side of lake. No picnic table on site, but it did have a box grill and a fire pit — burn ban was in effect though. A little stream nearby. Camp store, restaurant, boat rental on site. In all we were thankful for a spot in the summer with no reservations.

    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.

    4K River Ranch

    Best campground in Red River, NM

    4k River Ranch is the best campground in Red River. They've got RV sites, apartments, cabins and a beautiful penthouse in the center of town overlooking the town and mountain.

WiFi is good for checking emails and browsing websites. Very nice bathrooms with showers plus a laundry room. The staff is fantastic and they've got a really nice new office/store.

    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.

    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.

    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Excellent hot springs, convenient RV Park

    We absolutely loved our stay at Ojo Caliente. The entire staff is helpful and kind, especially Danny on the grounds and Annie at the restaurant. We wanted spot 17 but it was booked so we got spot 11, which had some privacy as well. As others have mentioned, the hookups are on the opposite side but they will lend you extensions if you need. All spots have picnic tables. The spots further from sitting have most privacy and are still only a 5 minute walk to entrance (I timed it from our site). The best part is that you get early access to the pools, you'll have them nearly to yourselves 7:30-10am and 20% off admission. Also there is free yoga at 9 or 10:40 for guests and all the instructors were fantastic. The onsite restaurant was good, although we wished they had more than 5 bar seats. Would definitely stay again, so many amenities for the same price as a state park!

    Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

    Hot springs

    Stayed for 3 nights. Awesome experience. Campground is rustic. Water and electric only. They do have a dump station but it is an extra cost. Sites were small and some hookups are in strange places. Our site #2 was shaded but hookups were at front of site and on wrong side so make sure you have enough power cord and hose. Campground does have a small bathroom and vintage rental trailers. You still have to pay for entry to springs but you get a discount for being in campground. The hot springs are amazing and you can leave and come back. Open till 10 pm which was great and we showered in the great locker rooms at the springs area before going back to camp. There is a great restaurant on site as well as beer and wine.

Most trails range from 1-5 miles in length with moderate elevation changes.

Winter activities: During ski season, many cabin rentals serve as convenient lodging for visitors to Red River Ski Area. "We stayed here for 10 days during the 'off season' at the end of April.

What campers like

Mountain views: Cabin properties showcase views of the surrounding Sangre de Cristo Mountains. At Questa Lodge & RV Resort, cabin guests enjoy mountain vistas. "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," explains a reviewer. The elevation provides clear night skies for stargazing during summer months.

Easy town access: Most cabin locations offer convenient access to Red River's amenities. "The camp ground is a home base for adventures in Red River and surrounding areas. A lot of people have ATVs here so there must be trails nearby," notes a reviewer. Shuttles run from some properties into town, with service frequencies varying by season.

What you should know

Booking timing: Summer months (June-August) and ski season (December-March) require advance reservations for cabins, often 3-6 months ahead. Last-minute availability is rare during peak periods.

Amenities vary widely: Cabin facilities differ significantly between properties. Some offer basic accommodations while others include full kitchens. "The showers and laundry were clean and beautiful," notes one camper about Red River RV facilities. Most cabins provide water and electricity but may not include linens or cookware.

Mountain weather changes: At 8,750 feet elevation, weather can change rapidly. One Road Runner RV Resort visitor explains, "This park was a great choice. Tucked in a canyon with a stream running through it, we secured a spot on the water. Large pine trees, tiered spots, walking distance to the cute town of Red River."

It's a quiet place with a gathering hall to watch TV or charge your devices if need be." Cabin locations near town offer access to seasonal festivals and events.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: For cabin rentals that also accommodate RVs, location within the property matters. "The sites are spread apart and many line the creek that runs through it. The park is tiered so some RVs were up in the taller trees," observes a Road Runner visitor. Riverfront cabins typically cost $10-20 more per night than standard units.

Utility considerations: Cabin guests should verify what utilities and supplies are included. "Sites are tight, but that's just the way these days. Sites by the river are best but none are bad," notes one camper. Most properties provide electric and water hookups, while premium cabins include sewer connections.

Not trouble connecting and staying connected with my hotspot," mentions a visitor. Some cabin locations offer free Wi-Fi, while others charge weekly fees after an initial free period.
