Best Cabin Camping near Timberon, NM

73 Reviews

Rustic cabin rentals and KOA-style accommodations are available near Timberon, with multiple options in the nearby mountains. The Alamogordo/White Sands KOA offers furnished cabins with full amenities including electricity and private patios, making them suitable for visitors exploring White Sands National Park. The Camp @ Cloudcroft provides cabin accommodations alongside Rio Penasco, with both basic and upgraded options. "They have a Yurt with all you could ever think of as well as a pop up trailer with amazing king size bed. When you rent these, you basically can come with clothes and food. They think of everything else from utensils, grills, stoves, linens, seasonings," notes one camper. Cloud Climbing Railroad Cabin and RV Park features cabins with multiple rental rooms in a mountain setting.

While some cabin properties operate year-round, others maintain seasonal schedules. High Country Arena in Mayhill offers cabin rentals with electricity, water, and sewer hookups, though cooking facilities vary between locations. Camp Tall Pines in Ruidoso welcomes pets in their cabin accommodations. Dry Camp and Pinon Guesthouse maintains six cabin sites with minimal amenities for visitors seeking a more rustic experience. According to one visitor, "The location is terrific for wildlife watching, day trips to historically interesting sites, and campground living."

Most furnished cabins include beds with varying levels of additional amenities. Basic cabins may require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and cooking supplies. More deluxe options like those at The Camp @ Cloudcroft provide comprehensive furnishings including heated blankets for cold mountain nights when temperatures drop to freezing. Several campgrounds feature on-site convenience stores, though selection is limited. Boot Hill RV Resort and Alamogordo/White Sands KOA both maintain small markets where basic provisions are available. The nearest full grocery stores are located in Alamogordo, requiring advance planning for extended cabin stays.

    Cloud Climbing Railroad Cabin and RV Park

    Perfect little gem

    Super friendly owners. A beautiful and picturesque location in the Sacramento mountains. Easy in and out just a few miles from the village of Cloudcroft in the heart of the Lincoln National Forest. On property hiking trail, and an excellent common areas. Fruit trees abound, and picking fruit is allowed in season. They also have a cabin with multiple rental rooms. Full RV hookups and wifi at very reasonable rates. It is close to the road, but traffic is minimal at night. They are open year round!

    The Camp @ Cloudcroft RV Park

    They think of everything!

    We love Royce and the Camp @ Cloudcroft. We started out coming here NYE. We stayed in the teardrop camper — so cold outside but the teardrop was warm and cozy. Since then we’ve been back several times! They have new beautifully renovated shower houses. They have a Yurt with all you could ever think of as well as a pop up trailer (amazing king size bed). When you rent these, you basically can come with clothes and food. They think of everything else from utensils, grills, stoves, linens, seasonings ... even a deck of cards! There’s WiFi throughout the campground. They also have RV spaces and tent areas. Super super nice staff (Sissy and her pup Mickey). Can’t recommend this place enough and we can’t wait to get back to our home away from home!!

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    The friendliest staff

    City camping close to restaurants and stores. Only about 10 minuets from White Sands State Park. Partly shaded gravel sites with water, electric, fire ring, picnic table. Campsites are very close to pool, playground, and restroom/showers. Very clean with a well stocked store and friendly staff. The staff gave us great tips for local venues, loaned us sleds for White Sands and rewarded my boys with popsicles for their good manners.

    Alamogordo/White Sands KOA

    My children and I stayed only one night at the Alamogordo/White Sands KOA, but it was a great place to stop and play! The kids enjoyed the pool and game room, our camping cabin was clean and neat. They had the nicest KOA showerhouse I have seen in my travels. They were having an ice cream social as we arrived which was a bonus after a long hot day of adventure. This was a great base for exploring the area, including White Sands National Monument and the White Sands Missle Range Museum/Missle Park.

    Prepare for the heat! There is not much shade on these adventures. My one complaint about this KOA is it needed more shade around the pool.

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    Great Campground

    The plot was a nice sized area with electric plug ins available at the campsite and your own fire pit and picnic table. Would camp here again.

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    Desert Oasis Fun For All Ages

    In direct contrast to the White Sands backcountry camping which offers absolutely zero thrills and access to luxuries, the White Sand KOA is a great place to stay for those wanting some of the comforts of home. Located about 10 minutes from White Sands this campground is in a great location for a run to the store, a meal at one of the great local restaurants or a trip to some of the other area attractions.

    While visiting here I noticed there were plenty of options for RV campers, something lacking at the White Sands itself. But RV camping is not all created equal, and this one by far surpasses other area options. Sites were latge enough even for the largest of rigs but also offered smaller sites for someone traveling a bit lighter like myself.

    Tent row seemed to be a very popular options and while the sites here were a bit closer together there was still plenty of room to move around.

    The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. The restrooms were private and very well throught creating a feeling of being at home while on the road. There was even a small store located on property with goodies and merchandise to commemorate your trip to the area.

    This place really has the family in mind with a pool, playground and game room which will leave a smile on the faces of even the smallest guests.

    Tips:

    • Go check out the New Mexico Space Museum where you can find the first primate launched into space's memorial, some awesome space rockets and tons of information that will leave your head in space.
    • Take a trip out to the White Sands only a short 10 minute drive from camp and spend the day sledding down the cool white dunes.

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    Great Location, But All Cement!

    We stayed at this campground during our #9Parks12Days road trip, and this was the fourth campground of ten on our trip. We did not have advanced reservations and arrived around 4:00 PM to find many open sites (this was early June). The sites are private, separated by cement brick walls, with a level gravel pad for the RV. However, there was a four-inch cement "lip" that stepped up to a huge, all-stone picnic table that could be a HUGE issue for accessibility. We have a special needs preschooler who cannot see well, including differences on the ground that are the same color. Luckily, when he did trip and headed straight for the huge, cement picnic table, I was between him and it, and he only ended up with a skinned knee and not a head injury.

    The pool was nice and clean, we swam well into the evening hours after arriving on a very hot day. The playground was quite... scary. The equipment looks to be from the 1970's and was mostly climbing bars, swings, and a merry-go-round. Only the swings were appropriate for our little guy, although our 9-year-old had a lot of fun climbing around. I noticed the playground is no longer mentioned or shown on their website, so maybe the equipment has been pulled out.

    The rec room is great - it was our saving grace on this stay along with the pool. Plenty for the family to do, and the welcome center is very nicely kept. In the morning we filled up our coffee mugs with great brew and chatted with the managers, who were very friendly and helpful.

    For a quick overnight, we would stay here again, because it is only 15 minutes away from White Sands National Monument, and several other attractions are only a day trip away. Would like to see more shade, more grass or other softer ground cover in the future (i.e. mulch) and for it to be more accessibility-friendly.

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    Loved this KOA

    Local to everything in Alamogordo. Propane available, laundry, cabins, hot as hell showers, water pressure is really high at around 155 psi. So definitely bring a regulator. Two KOA cats that are friendly so FYI

    Alamogordo / White Sands KOA

    Helpful service

    I messed up thinking I had booked this campground - I hadn’t. It was five minutes to seven pm and the staff called me back and got me a site for less than $50 for the night. It was a nice, level pull through site with water/sewer/cable/electric. I was pretty relieved that we would have somewhere to camp - no one else picked up their phones.

    We didn’t arrive until nearly nine and the same staff person was still working - helping someone back into their site. She was very kind and welcoming.

    The next morning I checked out the campground. The area was pretty industrial, but less than two minutes to the science museum and zoo. Individual spaces were generous (especially the tent sites - they would fit any tent size) and I liked the little patio we had. The playground was newish, the pool looked like it would be nice when filled, the laundry room looked great (but cash only - I prefer the card ones) and there was a lovely store and rec room. There were also showers and a small dog run.

    This KOA had everything you could need - including excellent customer service.

    20-25 minutes to White Sands National Monument.
