Woke up to snow :)
Was a great experience from the camp site to the bathrooms, the scenery was also awesome with a little river flowing through. Definitely will be going back when in the area again!

AMAZING CLOUDCROFT CAMPING
The host and the staff were all amazing. we stayed tent camping and even though the sites seem close they are also very secluded. If you cannot find sites on Hipcamp definitely look up their website and reach out. They are so flexible if you reach out to them personally.

Great Glamping Experience
Great for glamping. I recommend the area up the hill with the teardrop camper and the covered cooking area. Don't have an RV, so no opinion on that. The staff is friendly and helpful. Wild turkeys and deer near the campsite. Great for cooking and campfires. Showers are hot and clean. Short (20-30 min) drive to Cloudcroft and hiking trails. An hour to Ruidoso. It was cold when we were there, and the teardrop is warm with a small space heater provided.

Camp Rio is a great place to get away from the noise of the city without leaving sacrificing too many of the comforts of home. Convenient base camp for exploring Lincoln National Forest or during ski season. The Penasco River runs right through the property and would be great for kids (or adults) to play in during the warmer months. The tent sites are easy to access, and the bath houses are clean and work well. Look forward to staying here again!

Awesome location at 6k feet about a 15 min fun, mountainous, elk invested (hah) drive away from Cloudcroft! Loved the week I spent here, picturesque views, incredible camping right on the river. Staff was very very helpful. Highly recommended!

I arrived well after dark coming from the west going over a pass. It was easy to find. Julie had my late arrival info waiting for me. Real indoor bathroom/shower was very clean. I only stayed one night but it was a safe place for me and my dog.

Very nice spot! Exceptionally quiet camping park area. Everybody has rolled up the streets and is tucked indoors for the chilly nights as soon as the sun goes down. Bathrooms and shower are tip-top! WiFi is BIG bonus!

Camping with amenities on mountain
Stayed at Cloudcroft Camping during a cold front. It was very cold. My boyfriend and I were driving through the area and needed a place to sleep. We enjoyed it here. Clay and Julie accommodated our car camping in the tent site due to the cold which was very nice. We got in after dark and they had left us a map showing us exactly where our spot was, the wifi, and their phone number. This was more than many other campgrounds do. We were the only ones in the tent sites which I think helped our experience as they’re pretty close to one another which others have also mentioned in the reviews. The shower situation there is AMAZING. Could not be happier with it. The bathrooms were heated so when you got out of the shower you didn’t freeze right up. The water was HOT. Omg it was so nice. 10/10 bathroom experience. We couldn’t get over the majestic creek/river that ran through the campsite. This water was crystal clear it blew our minds. The beautiful algae swaying at the bottom was mesmerizing. Also 10/10. Beautiful location in the mountains of New Mexico. Cute town nearby. Really enjoyed.

Fantastic campsite with a wonderful staff. We stayed here on a cold night (25 or so) and the staff showed concern by ensuring we had plenty of wood for the fire and accommodated us with a fantastic site located close to amnesties. We’d highly encourage people on their way to or from white sands to check out this campground. They also have nice glamping options.

The location was great, close to hiking and skiing at Cloucroft and there was an observatory nearby. I was only passing through, so I will have to return to visit those places. Up above the RV spots, was a yurt and a little “gypsy” themed camper. Both those sites had little kitchen areas attached. Very cute.

Sweet camp near Cloudcroft!
Stayed here on our way to visit the sand dunes. Hard to find a campsite this late in the season that was open so glad they still had campsite open. Beautiful campsite along a sweet little stream and great view of the stars. Mainly an RV site but the camp sites were nicely tucked into their own area. A little muddy but flat and had a picnic table and fire ring accessible. Access to hot showers and running water was a huge bonus. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Actually, the Wall Tent was out of use due to hail storm damage. So, we were transferred to the Family Cabin which was outstanding!

Fantastic cute little campground. Dr. K and Jill were fabulous hosts. The common area is well kept and cheerful. Just be aware that the tent campsites are a bit small.

We enjoyed our weekend at The Camp at Cloudcroft. About 25min from the mountain top, the place is beautiful and calm. The spot is at the end of the campground so there was a big area for the kids to play ball. It is next to the DJ spot and they were very respectful asking if the sound was too loud during the night. The tent is comfortable, clean and we had everything we needed to cook, wash and have a shower. It was great enjoying the outdoors this way!

Exceptional Service
Unfortunately, I never met anyone there, but I did get a call on my drive there, and they were great. They called because the campsite I was at was taking on water because of a monsoon, so they gave me a new campsite which was basically a free upgrade and was dry. Which to me is exceptional service and going above and beyond. They could’ve just said sorry we have no spots but they did not. Thank you for your great hospitality and look forward to staying there for a much longer time. The bathrooms in facilities were excellent.
