RV Camping in New Mexico: Best New Mexico RV Parks 2026

Rugged mountains, far-as-the-eye-can-see desert vistas, and dreamy sunsets await outdoor adventurers in New Mexico, and the fifth-largest state is dotted with historic monuments, natural wonders, and remnants of the Wild West. Whether you’re road-tripping through Albuquerque along historic Route 66, discovering the state’s cultural heritage in Navajo, or white-water rafting along the Rio Grande, you won’t be far from an RV park or state park. Further south, there are miles of mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking trails, as well as RV camping in the Gila and Lincoln national forests, while the lakeside campsite at Elephant Butte Lake State Park fills up during the hot summer months. Self-contained RV campers can enjoy backcountry camping (permits required) at White Sands National Park and Carlsbad Caverns National Park, but for pull-through campsites and full hookups, drive your big rig to an RV resort in Las Cruces, Roswell, or Truth or Consequences instead.

STARGAZING & MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS ABOUND! Dusty Rabbit Van Life @ Schrimsher Ranch is an alternative camping and Star Gazing location just outside of ROSWELL, yet close to the open road. A great place to relax under the stars, have a camp fire, and kick back next to your travel rig after a long day. You might just want to crash for the night in a safe location out on the rangeland or stay a day or two to enjoy the land to walk, mountain bike antelope trails, and maybe even Sniffers the pronghorn antelope will find ya before you head out. This is a primitive site, so leave no trace practice is appreciated and pack in/out is how we do it here. If you come in the summer prepare the morning coffee early and enjoy the desert sun's rays hit the Capitan, but by 9am it will be hot, so be ready! Best star gazing and satellite watching in the world! I have several sites to choose from. But remember to keep an eye on the wind and weather as it can get crazy out here sometimes…..!!! I try to keep the sites stocked with firewood, but fill free to bring your own. Lonely Bull Camp 1 is my most popular site. It is very private and is easily accessible by most vehicles and campers. Ask about Lonely Bull Camp 4x4 if you have a capable vehicle. Amazing stars!! Old Highway Camp is a great alternative if you want something closer to the highway and have a safe private place to pull over, camp, kickback, make a fire and get back to your life on the on the road in the morning. It is closer to the highway, but is quite at night and has great star gazing. Enjoy being greeted by The Mountain in the morning. Let me know where you would like to stay and I will do my best to accommodate you! Safe travels!

1 night at Mars Research Base (MRB)

An awesome site extremely close to Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo, and White Sands. It was a great combination of remote and private while still being a short drive to any destination. The site provided a picnic tabe, fire barrel, hammock rack and portable toilet. There were excellent views of the sunset, sunrise and night sky. I highly recommend it and will be returning on future trips.

1 night at Agua de Vida

Nice location. Convenient to Santa Fe. Neat juniper chaparral habitat. Great sky viewing and some scenic rock formations nearby. Birding is probably excellent spring-fall. Was pretty good for winter.

We enjoyed talking with Ray. His space was very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. It was very peaceful and quiet! And the pecan orchard was beautiful!

1 night at La Vina rd

Dakota was very quick to respond to my messages. We arrived after dark to a very neat and tidy site, with a very nice and level grass area to pitch our tents. The location is a working, active vineyard, and if we had had more time I would have loved to check out more of it and the wines they offered. We were just on a quick one nighter on our way to Arizona. The bathroom was very clean, the firepit was large and generous; the camping was amazing with coyotes howling all through the night. A very well kept secret just off the beaten path. Thanks for the cool spot, Dakota!

Weekend Trip to Desert Rose Stopover

This was exactly what was needed to take a break from the road on my way through. Isolated enough to relax but still close enough to everything Roswell has to explore. Very much appreciated the solitude and the room for the pups to run free after so many days across country 🤙

4 nights at Mystic Mountain Portal

A perfect place if you want a central location to explore the different areas of Carson National Forest (CNF) like we did. Allows you an hour drive in any direction to any portion of CNF while providing a beautiful base camp that yields isolation and tranquility in the midst of humbling views in all directions. Alia is a Phenomenal host, very accommodating, super cool, responsive and down to earth. If you are a self sufficient person that has everything you need and just wants to share someone’s plot of paradise, this is the place for you. Freaking awesome.

Weekend Trip to Star Gazer Ranch

Absolutely amazing! Stunning scenery, hospitality, and accommodations. Owners were wonderful! We were coming late and they helped us find our location via text and directions. Offered to take care of some garbage so we didn’t have to drive with it. They also have the sweetest little dog ever! Came up said hi and went back to what he was doing super interesting. The site itself was gorgeous. We were able to star gaze and point out consolations very easily. Overall a wonderful stay. Be prepared! It gets cold at night and hot during the summer. Thank you! Appreciate you!

3 nights at Perry Farms RV Park

Close to Bosque del Apache, 13 miles down same road. Close to restaurants in San Antonio. Sites have full hookups. Owners do sell firewood. 2nd time staying here and would/will stay again. Good jumping off place. We did day soak in Tor C at Riverbend resort about an hour away and visited Elephant Butte. Lots of wild areas and off roading around Socorro which is close by. Decent views of surrounding mountains and Cranes flying by all day long. Great if doing Festival of Cranes at the wildlife refuge.

Weekend Trip to Agua de Vida

We just returned from a fantastic RV trip! The entire campsite was wonderfully serene, offering a genuinely peaceful escape. The setting was stunning, with beautiful scenery surrounding us everywhere we looked. It was also an extremely easy place to set up our RV, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a relaxing, beautiful, and hassle-free nature getaway, this spot is truly nice and highly recommended. Also loved hearing the history lesson about the land that's was really cool.

Weekend Trip to Ray & Lucille's place

Great spot, really private. I did hear loud sounds throughout the night and morning from an adjacent property. Keep in mind, it's a working farm. My dogs loved running the fence with the owners' dog!

Weekend Trip to White Sands Smokehouse

Beautiful place, lovely generous host. Üdø’s flavors pack a punch! He’s also very knowledgeable about the area. Miraculous experience to get a fresh warm cookie delivered to my tent haha. Felt safe as a solo camper. Roads are nice and calm too.

Such an amazing place. Never seen that many stars literally ever. Host was super awesome, he answered any questions I had within a few hours of our spontaneous arrival. We will come back here without question, it was such a beautiful spot.
