  Riverbend Hot Springs

  Access to Hot Springs is Worth Every Penny!

  There are a few hot spring resorts that we keep in the back of our minds, always ready to return whenever we’re within striking distance…and this is one of them!  A good friend who used to live in T or C raved about this place, and let’s say she was not wrong. 

  While the campground itself isn’t much to write home about (just a parking lot across the street), quick access to the pools, the environment, and the scenery are simply amazing. The campsites are full-hook up slots, tastefully divided by local plants and shade trees, but very close to each other. You’re within the city limits, but it feels somehow more like a quiet neighborhood. 

  The resort offers showers, bathrooms, and of course a multitude of pools at different temperatures to balance whatever the weather might throw at you. With nothing but the Rio Grande River, and the Chihuahuan Desert sprawling into the distance, the resort is serene, and feels a million miles away from the interstate which is only a couple miles away. 

  Even with the electrical hook ups, we still gathered all we needed with our solar powered system, and our south facing campsite was perfect for satellite internet as well, even though the resort has some spotty wifi. 

  The town within walking distance has everything you might want, especially if you like New Mexican cuisine, the answer is always “Christmas” WYKYK. Gas, food, Walmart all close by, etc. it’s all there. 

  Nearby is the Elephant Butte State Park with a massive reservoir for all kinds of boating recreation, mountain biking and hiking. Just make sure you go at the right time of year! Also check out the Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge if you are at all interested in birds and other wildlife.  You'll find reviews for all of these places on our The Dyrt Reviews.

  Hidden Valley Ranch RV Resort

  Very nice and not expensive, no tent sites

  2-night minimum, at the end of a maintained gravel road. I have a camper van, no hookups, and paid $48 for two nights. Large rec room with full kitchen, satellite tv, pool table, and pop/candy/ice cream for sale. Laundry and hot showers. Very friendly and a majority of sites are long time full timers. Cash or check only, no credit cards. Good wi-fi. Propane available. About 10 miles to town and 30 miles to City of Rocks state park.

  Hot Springs Glamp Camp

  Amazing glamping stay!

  Highly recommend this gem. It’s tucked away and such a cozy and slow place to stay. We stayed in a campsite for 5 nights. Highly recommend more than one day so you can enjoy the springs and the town! It has lovely clean hot spring tubs that are open 24/7. It’s an intimate camp so we rarely had to wait for a tub. Also has clean bathrooms and showers and a grill. 2 blocks away from Main Street and 2 blocks from the Rio grande. Great host and great service too.

  Amazing Nightime Hot Springs

  What the other reviewers have said regarding the gravel spaces is totally true. What I wish to add is that the springs at night are amazing. We got there at 9pm and there were three other people there which were hard to spot as the place is fairly large. There are multiple pools with differing temperatures. Everything was quiet and beautifully lit. There were ample places to sit ranging from lounge chairs, to regular chairs, to hammocks. One of the pools even had two macrame swings. There was also a sauna and two outside showers. The spa sits on a water way and across the water there appear to be condos that were also lit up. The nighttime serenity and views were stunning. We will return in the morning to see what that experience is like, but even if it doesn’t compare, it’s very worthwhile even if you only go at night.

  Riverbend Hot Springs

  Basically a parking lot

  The hook ups are all There and it’s easily accessible to the hot springs , but don’t expect any privacy or space. You’re paying for a parking space to have access to the hot springs . We’ve stayed here 3 times , it’s always clean and everything works. I love the hit springs but would prefer to stay in my rv than an overpriced room. You cross the street and you are in the hot springs , even gravel parking. Wi Fi is great , there is a convenience store within walking distance. Free coffee and tea in the morning, overall a safe and clean place to stay while you visit the Hot Springs.

  The staff are really helpful. The hot springs bathing areas are nice. They have clothes optional and required areas. The showers are clean. The bathrooms are clean. They have a good camp store. We spent 5 nights here and loved it.

  CG has 6 sites (1 looks permanent), nothing to write home about, but the ho

  We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were here for just an overnight in site 4, the alley side. We had no issues getting backed in after dropping and parking our tow in the overflow next door. There is a butte mural on the wall across from the alley sites, which helps the view“a little”. The campground is small, but does have shrubs between the sites, but then you’re not here for the campground. This was our second visit and we really like this hot springs. They have both private and“public” pools of various temperatures. There is also a park and“bark park” just a block away.

  Just perfect.

  Multiple hot springs tubs, private and not private. New water every time you soak. Lovely outdoor living room with bbq and fire pit. Spotless bathrooms. Hosts are so kind.

  Soak yourself

  The rv sites are narrow and short, but you're not here for the rv park, are you?? It's all about the soak, and staying as an overnight guest allows you unlimited access to all of the communal pools. The pools do NOT disappoint, especially at night when the crowds die down to just the overnighters. Don't miss Full Moon Kitchen, the food truck next door, for your breakfast in the morning. Yumm!

  Hot Springs Glamp Camp

  Wonderful hidden gem! 🌴🛀🌵

  This is a cool & nicely maintained RV/campsite with a few permanent vintage trailers & a yurt. It is only a short walk to Main Street but it is very quiet at night. Highlight: It includes access to incredible mineral water baths built out of kitschy farm troughs!

  The sites are separated by corrugated walls, so there is a nice amount of privacy while still having a cozy, vintage, community feel. The bathrooms are very nicely maintained and clean, and there is an awesome shared space with a fire pit. We planned to come for one night and stayed five! Can’t recommend it enough. Did I mention the mineral baths?!

  Perfect road trip stop!

  I can’t say enough good things about this place. Situated right on the river with awesome hot springs! There multiple pools to chose from and for privacy. They have running water and showers too. A cute little hot spring cat hung out with us in the lounge area around the pool. The springs & camping are located right in town and it really is a cool little town!

  Faywood Hot Springs

  Bad customer service

  TERRIBLE GUEST SERVICES! Pools were great, a little dirty but the scenery was decent. On the other hand, management is less than accommodating and of no help at all!! Terribly rude as well. DO NOT EXPECT ANY FORM of great customer service in any way which so ever!! Not guest friendly whatsoever! We had a soak in the Blue Moon private pool and when it was time to leave we realized there was no door handle. We called the emergency phone number listed multiple times and no answer. We were stuck behind the gate with no door knob, and to top it off stuck in complete darkness. It was a rather terrible, little frightening experience to say the least. Not knowing what insects or creatures could bite us in the dark. After many attempts to were able to use our towel and a stick to get the lock button and cylinder open without a handle. The next morning we called to let them know what had happened and were told there was absolutely nothing to compensate for. I was not looking for a handout, but not even an apology was given for the trouble we went through that evening. Appalling customer service! Will not be going back and will not recommend Faywood to any others because of the terrible customer relations through management. Unfortunate, because Faywood is a nice, relaxing place. I cannot do business with anyone who does not care about the customers. No customers deserve this attitude and I personally cannot recommend this type of business to anyone else. Customers are the livelihood of thriving businesses. I wouldn’t want anyone else to get locked in after hours.

  Faywood Hot Springs

  Best. Place. Ever.

  I was worried that this place wasn’t open due to the fact there were only two reviews and it had been a while since a review. I can happily share that they are open and thriving. I was driving from Gila Cliff Dwellings towards White Sands NP and needed a place to camp. I passed some dispersed camping along the way, but most of the cultivated sites were closed, I’m guessing due to COVID as New Mexico has really cracked down on their camping and I ran into lots of sites that were either closed or only open to residents. Anyway, this place was a STEAL. For only $21 (the typical price of most regular vault toilet and picnic table camp sites), you get heaven on earth. You wouldn’t expect it driving in from either direction, but the sites themselves are extremely shaded and surrounded by trees and as private as possible given the close proximity to neighbors. I stayed at site #47 and even though I was right next to the pools and bathhouse, I couldn’t be seen at all from those places. There’s a potable water tap at EACH campsite, free showers, unlimited 24/7 access to hot springs (clothing required & clothing optional pools), a clubhouse to wash dishes or cook or simply hang out inside in a comfortable chair to read or play games at a table), several bathrooms, phone service (and I didn’t have any driving in or out), peacocks and other wildlife to admire, friendly staff, firewood for sale, labyrinth maze, short scenic trails to watch the sunset and rise, inside facilities, amazing cabins (cheapest one is only $60 and comes with an hour long soak in a private pool which is otherwise $28 for one hour), etc. I could go on and on about this place. The best $21 I have ever spent to spend the night anywhere in my entire life and I am always camping and traveling. A literal oasis. I soaked from 7pm-11pm and had the pools to myself several times on a Sunday evening. Everyone was respectful and there was no sense of party / loud groups as so common is seen at hot springs. Alcohol allowed.

  Clean & Quiet Hot Springs in the Middle of New Mexico Desert

  Though about 15 miles off the interstate, this park is WORTH the detour. 

  RV sites are full hookup and some are easy pull-throughs. Some sites also have nice firepits and shade pavilions. Grounds are well maintained, relaxing, and peaceful. The desert landscape here shines as there is nothing around for miles (very quiet). 

  DEFINITELY recommend booking a private hot spring tub after dark. The stars are INCREDIBLE. Tubs are the perfect temperature. Overnight guests have access to a 24 hour pool. 

  Staff are incredibly friendly and a small provisions store onsight sells anything you might've forgotten, plus firewood.
