  Cebolla Mesa Campground

  Great campground on a mesa

  Very beautiful spot. Lots of dispersed camping a few fire pits. There’s a 1.25 mile hike down to the river to cool down. Plenty of shade and lots of off road trails for driving/running/biking. No water. clean bathrooms (with toilet paper!!) only 30 mins or so from Taos.

  Tolby Campground — Cimarron Canyon State Park

  Beautiful Cimarron Canyon

  Cimarron Canton State Park is a wonderful place to stay, right on the Cimarron River. Bring your fishing gear and license for some relaxing fishing. Some of the sites are immediately adjacent to the river. My favorite campground is Tolby, the Westernmost. It has a Ranger/Information Station in the east end of the campground. It has flush toilets and sinks, but no shower. This is my favorite, because I love to hike and backpack. Just south across Highway 64 from the campground entrance is the Tolby Trailhead. The Tolby Trail takes you all the way back to Tolby Meadow on an excellent trail. A good spot for overnight tent camping. Tolby campground is also just minutes from Eagle Nest, NM and within easy range of Angel Fire, Red River, and a little less than an hour from Taos.

  There are two other campgrounds for RVs, Maverick and Ponderosa, as well as one more for tent camping. Maverick sits right next to a pair of gravel pit lakes for added Fishing opportunities. Ponderosa is across the street from that, but is more like a parking lot with painted camping slots around its perimeter.

  In the town of Cimarron I recommend dining at the Historic St. James hotel (very haunted) or lunch at the Creemee. Stop in at the headquarters of Philmont Scout Ranch for the National Scounting Museum and a Tour of the Villa Philimonte (Waite Phillips’ mansion). Also recommended is the Tooth of Time Traders at Philmont. It’s a camping/hiking store that is like an REI.

  If you’re coming via Raton, the Colfax Tavern between Raton and Cimarron at Cold Beer New Mexico is a great place to stop for food and drinks.

  Taos Valley RV Park & Campground

  Right outside town

  Not a bad setting. Surrounded by mountains, yet you are really in the city of Taos. Prices are fair, pull through with Electric and Water $43.00. The landscape is really cool, fits the New Mexico motif. A little noisy in the morning with the barking dogs in the surrounding neighborhood. We felt safe with no problems.

  Capulin Campground

  Basic Roadside Campground Near Taos

  The National Forest Service campground is located on highway 64 between Angel Fire and Taos New Mexico. The site is just a few feet off the highway next to a small creek. They have about a dozen small campsites along the creek with privacy between the sites. The sites are very basic and come equipped with fire pits and picnic tables. The location had availability during the summer peak season. The site is self serve pay and does not have a camp host. The location may be a good option for those looking to visit Taos which is about 30 minutes away. I gave this a low rating due to the condition of the sites which needed basic maintenance and cleanup. The site was also far to close to the highway to enjoy a good camping experience. I think this is the type of place you use as a last resort while in transit to Taos or Eagles nest.

  Taos Valley RV Park & Campground

  Great location! Native vegetation. Friendly staff.

  This is a great place to stay if you want to explore Taos. Much more vegetation than you would expect from a campground close to town. The staff are friendly. The facilities were clean. The park is older but in an charming New Mexico way. They have funky wooden shade structures at some of the sites.  We felt safe here. We will definitely stay here again.

  Hotel Luna Mystica

  Vintages, Views & Brews!

  Hamlet went to visit his fun cousins for the weekend -- Diego, Thelma, Louise, Frida, Ralphie, Sunnie, and others– all vintage campers available for rent at this amazingly cool space just outside of Taos, NM. 

  It was Thanksgiving weekend, and while many of the campers were fully booked, there was lots of space in the dry camping area just beyond the vintage trailers. There’s lots of room here for dozens of campers, vans and RV’s. There are no trees or shade structures in the dry camping area, just a few randomly placed fire rings. But camping here means you have access to the very clean bathrooms/showers, water, and other services at the "hotel." 

  Surprise!  The weather went from day-time highs in the 60’s to blizzard conditions with overnight lows in the teens.  We busted out our Airskirts Insulation to help keep our floor warmer and our heated air inside. 

  It’s a great place to base your Taos adventures, hiking near the Rio Grande Gorge, or going further up into the mountains. Nearby activities include fishing, rafting, cycling, mountain biking, and skiing in winter.  Across the road from the campground is the Taos Mesa Brewery where you can get amazing craft beers and some great food. 

  It was the perfect place to hang out on a cold, wintery night.

  Taos also has all the restaurants and services that you might need, and some of the best southwest eateries you’ll find anywhere. The campground is ideal for solar power, as is the New Mexico weather. We also had no problem connecting with Starlink and had LTE in the campground.  If you love the combination of vintages, views, and brews...check this fun place out!

  Amazing surroundings

  Pecos national forest is by far one of the best places to camp in northern New Mexico. Great fishing, amazing hiking and views for days.

  Beautiful

  This is an artist paradise. So many beautiful land formations and gorgeous sunsets. The campground includes a bath house with laundry room and electric hookups if needed. $30 to tent camp (no electric). Lodging, yurts and cabins, are also available.

  Taos Valley RV Park & Campground

  Quiet yet convenient

  We are not RV park people but found ourselves in need of showers and laundry. Taos Valley is easy to find and very convenient to Taos. Office was friendly and helpful. The no hook-up area was very quiet. The area is attractive with trees and other landscaping. The park included a ‘natural’ area perfect for walking dogs. We only planned for one day but stayed for two.

  Hotel Luna Mystica

  Updated Vintage Trailer Glamping

  This place is cool. Its made up of about 15 1960-70's trailers, all updated and stylish, on the wide open Taos Mess. There's also tent camping available for $10 a night. Showers (indoor and outdoor) and bathrooms are all really nice and clean. The owners and employees are all a joy. 15 minutes to downtown Taos. There is a brewery right across the street with live music and an awesome patio.

  Riana - Abiquiu Lake

  Nice camp hosts

  The campgrounds is nicely laid out and decent. There isn't much for shade or privacy. The camp hosts are very friendly and helpful. There are nice trails that you can hike or mountain bike. Some are near cliff edges and not for the beginners. The lake is nice for New Mexico and sees a lot of use. Didn't get a chance to fish or get to the waters edge this trip. The area is near where Georgia O'Keefe lived and did some of her work.

  Small area, nice creek

  Sites were far enough from everyone else, but where right on the only road in and out. This is a popular spot between angel fire and taos. Not too primitive.

  Good place

  Funky vibe, cool staff, indoor plumbing, showers, and Wi-Fi (somewhat, it gets overloaded with a full campground). Right outside Taos. Can kinda hear road noise but not too bad.

  Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa

  Mature trees, beautiful property, soaking, hiking

  I would have given this property 5 stars but they’ve become unfriendly to families. Children under 13 are not allowed in the hot springs.

  The camping area is more of a campground than an RV park, in a positive way. Many of the sites are shaded with mature trees. A river runs by the edge of the campground (It can’t be seen from most sites).

  Hike or mountain bike right from your campsite. No open flames are permitted but there’s a community campfire by the main lodge.

  There’s an amazing restaurant on the property. Yoga is available in the yurt.

  Beautiful, Amazing, Secluded

  Driving through Taos we needed a place to camp. This place is a gem! It's absolutely beautiful. We thought we would have trouble getting a spot to pull into, but there was only one other camper.

  Holy Ghost Campground

  Definitely the second best campsite in Pecos

  If Jacks Creek campsite is all booked, this is the next one you should try. Iron gate is ok too but it’s a lot longer drive than you think and might need all wheel drive since the road to Iron gate gets bit tricky road every now and then. Holy! This campsite offered me a lot more than I expected! Nice trail heads nearby (not only one) and each campsite was spaced out well enough so you still get a privacy. Of course the site by the creek gets filled first. Be aware of skunks! Do not leave food unattended and keep your dogs under control ;) Overall, a decent campsite but only 3 in nation but I would give 4 in New Mexico!

  Great for car camp visit

  Stayed here one night. For only $10 a night, it was ideal. Got hot showers and woke up with the mountains in view. The Taos Brewery next door was a fun spot for a few drinks as well. Staff was very friendly.

  We enjoyed this place. Perfect for some sightseeing, hiking, and close enough to Santa Fe/Taos if you want to visit those cities (about an hour drive to either). Lots of stars & quiet at night.

  Taos Valley RV Park & Campground

  Nice park south of town

  After making the reservation on the phone we never dealt with the people here.  When we arrived we went right to our spot.  The campground is quiet, nicely laid out with some trees, and the facilities worked fine.  The location is really good just south of Taos; a 10 minute drive into town.

  Creme of the Crop RV Park!

  What a wonderful find, just a short distance from the beautiful town of Taos! Plenty of privacy at each site with your own sagebrush garden, picnic table, grill and water pump. Bathrooms are spotless and there’s free wifi. Walking distance to restaurants and live music. The lovely couple that run it are super friendly! I highly recommend this place!

  Creekside Campground Close to Town

  Stayed here while traveling through Taos. About 10 first come first serve primitive campsites next to the road and creek. The trees give some privacy in between the campsites and road. I wasn't too bothered by the road noise and it was quiet after dark. There is also a hiking/biking trail at the end of the campground.

  Columbine Campground (NM)

  Great campground in beautiful forest setting

  This was our 3rd visit and this time we stayed at site #14.  Beautiful forest, nice campground... however, this Red River area has been taken over by groups from Texas and Oklahoma primarily.  Large groups with multiple campers book up the sites and then put up canopies and tables for large parties.  It isn't quite the same as in years past.  I understand their states don't have pretty places like this, but every campground in the area (there are several forest service campgrounds as well as commercial campgrounds) are FULL to overflowing with these large groups.  

  If you are looking for quiet and enjoying peace with nature, it isn't at Red River anymore.  It wouldn't bother us so much if there weren't STATE mandated orders about groups and wearing masks, but majority of these people do not follow these New Mexico rules.  Hearing them be abusive to locals and NM residents about it has really soured us on visiting here in the near future.  

  It used to be a nice area... love the campground, but the CROWDS,,,, yuck.

  Sierra Village Lodge & RV Park

  Older quiet campground

  Campground is a little rundown, but very quite. The Bathrooms/Showers are very old but were clean. The park water pressure was very low. There is no cell service in area and the park WiFi was spotty at best. Most spots are smaller, but spots 1,2,3 and 4 will accommodate larger rigs and have great shade. If your looking for a place for 1 or 2 nights close to Taos Sierra village will work.
