1 night at Montezuma Hot Springs Haven

Easy to find, clear directions. It is in a residential area, tho there is privacy from bushes and trees. The only issue was barking dogs all night and that is out of the hosts control.

1 night at Montezuma Hot Springs Haven

The hot springs are a short drive away ( use the most southern entrance). The opening to the campsite now has a red gate. We couldn't find the bbq to grill burgers and were woken often by neighborhood dogs ( bring ear plugs), but the night sky was amazing and the city of Las Vegas, NM was worthwhile.

This little site is just very few minutes to the wonderful springs! I arrived a bit late after driving many hours and Katherine was so kind as to allow me to stay in their lovely big tent. Very thankful! It was a pleasure meeting my hosts!! The springs are a real treasure.
