Ruins Road RV Park

5 Reviews Add Review

RV campers looking for a convenient base near the Animas River will find Ruins Road RV Park positioned just off the main roads in Aztec. The privately-managed park accommodates rigs up to 50 feet with full hookups including 30-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections. Sites sit on level gravel surfaces with good drainage throughout the property.

The park operates on a cash or check-only basis, with rates ranging from $30-40 per night. Long-term residents maintain well-kept spaces alongside shorter-stay visitors, creating a mixed but orderly atmosphere. Some sites offer shade while others remain more open, and campers can access the nearby Animas River for water activities. Don M. notes the "site was level clean gravel" with helpful owner assistance during check-in.

The location keeps road noise to manageable levels while maintaining easy access for larger RVs. WiFi reaches most sites, though cell service varies by carrier. The park allows pets and campfires, though it lacks traditional amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, or restroom facilities. Campers seeking additional options can explore campgrounds near Aztec or check out Kelly's RV Park for a different setup.

Guests commonly noted the level gravel sites, full hookups, and friendly owner as standouts. A few reviews mentioned road noise, though most found the location relatively quiet and well-maintained.

Nice!

Well maintained, relatively quiet location off from main roads. Sites are a little close but are gravel and pretty level. If you don't need hookups, there are some beautiful sites down by the river with a lot of shade. There is some shade in the main area. Just down the street from Aztec Ruins, which I highly recommend. Nothing fancy, but owner is very nice and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

Last Minute Laborday Stay

Called on a Friday afternoon. Labor Day weekend for a 1 night stay. She had 1 site left and took my name. Site was level clean gravel. She also walked out to site to make sure we understood hookups. Friendly and helpful. Site was quiet. We would stay there any time we’re in the area. Was $30. Full hookups 30 amp service.

Quiet

We are traveling with a young, very timid dog so asked for a large space. She gave us an end space with no shade and no grass; however, we have a nice view of the trees along the Animas River and are a short distance from the river. Lots of long term RVs, but their spaces are well maintained. Good gravel throughout the RV Park, nice level spaces. They take cash or check only. No tables, fire rings, restrooms/showers, but full hookups. Easy access, and we had no issues with road noise.

Pretty nice

Full hookups and good shade. Not expensive, but cash or check only. Friendly folks. Some semi-distant road noise, but not terrible. Close to the nice Animas River!
