The Camp @ Cloudcroft RV Park sits at 6,500 feet elevation on the eastern slope of the Sacramento Mountains, where the Rio Penasco River flows directly through the property. This private campground operates year-round and caters to RV campers with full hookup sites, though tent camping areas are also available along the water.
The river provides a constant sound backdrop and supports a small trout population that draws anglers. Mule deer and wild turkeys visit the grounds regularly, with campers frequently spotting wildlife near their sites. Two renovated bathhouses each contain individual restrooms with showers, and a gazebo with television and seating serves as a common area. WiFi reaches throughout the campground, though cell service remains limited due to the mountain location.
Pull-through sites accommodate larger RVs on level ground, while tent sites position campers closer to the Rio Penasco's banks. The campground can feel crowded during peak weekends and hunting season in fall. "Facilities are clean and well cared for," notes Dwight S.. Mayhill's cafe, convenience store, and gas station sit two blocks away.
The elevation brings cooler temperatures year-round and creates conditions for clear night skies. For additional options, see campgrounds near Mayhill. The Camp @ Cloudcroft works best for RV travelers seeking mountain camping with full services and wildlife viewing opportunities.
