Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa
Camping spots are close and tight. But nice to be on the grounds of Ojo Caliente Resort
4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several campgrounds near Taos offer cabin accommodations with varying amenities and comfort levels. Agua Piedra Campground provides rustic cabins alongside a river in a forested setting, while more developed options exist at 4K River Ranch and Red River RV Resort with full electricity and private bathrooms. One camper noted, "The cabin was very clean and they did have laundry facilities. We enjoyed the small play area and the stream," highlighting the family-friendly facilities at some properties. Most cabins feature picnic tables outside, with heating systems available in locations open during colder months.
Rustic log cabins are available at several locations around Eagle Nest and Red River, with pet-friendly options at most campgrounds including Angel Nest RV Retreat and Questa Lodge & RV Resort. These properties typically require advance reservations, especially during summer months when occupancy reaches peak levels. Cabins range from basic single-room structures to multi-room units with separate sleeping areas. A visitor to 4K River Ranch mentioned, "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."
Many cabins provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, with some offering only outdoor cooking areas while others include refrigerators and microwaves. Roadrunner RV Resort and Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa maintain on-site markets for basic provisions. Firewood is available for purchase at most cabin locations, though fire restrictions may apply during dry periods. Bathroom facilities range from shared campground restrooms to private en-suite options in more deluxe cabin units.
"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."
"Nice shaded/wooded area for primitive tent camping with plenty of space to spread out."

Awesome campground at one of the nicest hot springs you’ll ever visit. Great farm to table restaurant and wine bar. New Mexico at its best.
Limited review due to rains. Nice area for quiet camping or for access to wilderness areas, hiking. Taos and Red River are 1/2 hour away for touristy stuff. During heavy rains river did not leave its banks. Sites are tight, best ones are by the river. Nice walking path by river but noticed many dog walkers not picking up after their dogs. Clean bathroom and laundry facilities. Some septic drains too high to drain properly, should be fixed. Had to move in order to dump tanks.
The campground is situated in a beautiful setting and area right at Ghost Ranch. Campground has sites that are gravel and not very level, as others have noted, making it a bit of a challenge (site 16 in particular). Also note that some electric hookups are 20A only, not 30A. Full hookups at front of campground; tent only at rear. Showers were great and heated; laundry and bathrooms clean. Host and staff friendly. Lots of great hiking trails within walking distance of the campground. 2 small museums worth visiting. We paid $50 for electric hookup. Meal plan is now $50.
Some good hikes, corral (horseback rides), museum, pack in pack out, & bring your own water (drought conditions; there is water available but don't rely on their water if for no other reason to support their conservation of it--don't recall any water hookups). Friendly staff. Did not avail ourselves of meal plan. Beautiful night skies. Still in mid to upper 90s in September (hot in afternoon). Beware that winds can gust suddenly & hard, including strong dust devils (a devil came through & tore up some tents & sunshades including mangling aluminum frames of some shades).
This was our first trip to Coyote Creek State Park. We heard about the new loop and that appeared to have some great new sites. We were surprised on how great the new sites are. The shelters over the nice picnic table is huge! We walked the park and it was clear that the entire park was meticulously maintained. The only down side was a slip and fall on the drainage concrete in the road. Luckily, it was only a minor wrist sprain. The local ranger saw the fall and asked if I was ok. Apparently, the concrete has been an issue for some trailers and people. The toilets in the campground are clean and well maintained. We routinely visit NM state parks and this one has to be the best maintained. The side by side electrical sites isn't for us and there are other options. We plan to be back.
We had a great time at Hyde memorial park. We stayed 2 nights at site #3 with 4 kids. We hiked the whole circle trail which took us about 3.5-4 hours with kids. We hiked the water falll trail in the evening and it didnt have any water flowing through it but we still had fun! There is no water anywhere in the park whatsoever so we had to go back into town to refill our 5 gallon. The night sky was beautiful and we could see so many stars.
If you have a spot along the river this place is great. But less than 10% of spots are on the river so make sure you book in advance.
Very helpful hosts. Found another beautiful spot.
