The L.C. Ranch was the second largest Cattle Ranch in American history.
In its heyday around 1900 it was over one million acres.
Today the cows are gone, along with the vast tracts of land and the cowboys that managed the herds.
The Lyons and Campbell Ranch Headquarters remains as a time capsule of an era past. The extensive adobe compound includes the 27 room adobe mansion of Cattle Baron Tom Lyons and his wife Ida Campbell, along with the fabulous Old West Saloon, Jail, post office, bunkhouses, Theater and Chapel. In the summer months enjoy the great swimming pool, and in the spring and fall enjoy the Mimbres design hot tub. Our RV sites are closed in the winter, but our Airbnb apartments are closed in January only.
The Theater has just added a video cinema system to its live performance capabilities.

City of Rocks State Park is your self proclaimed “sponsor of adventure” and we agree! The entire park clocks in at just one square mile, but what’s inside this tiny little park is huge fun. The park is filled with pinnacles, or giant rock formations, that were formed after a volcanic eruption 34.9 million years ago. Today, these rad, red rocks tower over while you hike or bike through the grid like maze at their base. The park also offers a stunning botanical garden, stargazing, and views of the local wildlife. Be sure to stop by the brand new visitors center and get the best tips from the rangers before setting up camp in their comfy campgrounds. Silver City and Deming are close by for access to more fun. A little park that packs a big punch, we’re sure you’ll be mayor of this city in no time!

🌿 About Bosque del Rio Camp
Bosque del Rio Camp is situated on the Rio Grande between Elephant Butte Lake and Caballo Lake, bordered by over 15,000 acres of surrounding public open space. The setting offers a quiet, natural river corridor with beautiful views and direct access to the Rio Grande.
River conditions vary seasonally. Peak flows typically occur from May 1 through June 30. Water levels are much lower in summer, fall, and winter. Guests planning to float the river should plan for early-season visits.
Bosque del Rio Camp is privately owned and lightly occupied. The host may occasionally be on-site in a separate RV, but the setting remains very private and quiet.

Is a wide open location with plenty of room to camp. A lovely couple lives on site but gave us plenty of space but was very welcoming when we wanted to chat. It's super close to rockhound and spring canyon state parks and a 20ish minute drive to Deming. The night sky and sunsets werr gorgeous too.

We had a wonderful stay at L.C. Ranch. The place was quiet with a beautiful view. It’s in a rural area, which we really loved; it felt private and surrounded by nature. We stayed for two nights and had everything we needed for our camper, including water and electricity, which made the stay very comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful little getaway, and we would definitely come back. Oh, the dogs were super friendly.

Luwana and Jack are welcoming & accommodating hosts. The property has a homey feel & is surrounded by hills in the Mimbres River Valley - a nice change of pace from the hustle & bustle of Silver City.
The spacious site is level with easily accessible water, 30 amp hookup & trash barrel. There's a dump station at a nearby RV park. The brand new Dollar General is a game changer for the area & is surprisingly well stocked.
Enjoy your stay - Olé!

This was the perfect secluded getaway! Quite rural area with plenty of space to walk dogs and amazing historical buildings. The saloon is a great space to kick back and read a book or play a game of pool. There is also a theater on the property which can be used to watch movies. Alex and his 3 dogs are very welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

The location was convenient. It was quiet and felt safe. The yard was not visually appealing, but there was a nice view of the mountains. I could hear a rooster, but it was far enough away as to not be bothersome.

Lawrence & Dina’s Campsite was great. Open space and the amenities were just what we expected. We got there late and left really early but it was wonderful experience. I and my sons watched the stars and I saw two shooting stars. Would definitely recommend camping there. Bathroom was clean and readily accessible from all site. Thanks again Lawrence & Dina.

Lawrence & Dina couldn't be better hosts and have a perfect place to stay. Our site had a picnic table under a tree which was perfect for our morning coffee. We got in too late to see the sunset but loved the sunrise. Beware of choosing the "open directions in app" option. Twice it took us the wrong way. Third time was a charm (and verified using the address). If we're in the area again, we'll definitely stay there again.
Also, if you are heading east in the morning and you like old school yet quirky diners, you have to try The Pit on 292 Cafe just outside Los Cruces for breakfast. Great food and character. A fun way to start your journey.

Great location. Flat, accessible sites. Was a perfect stay for us in our sprinter and my sister in her Class C. Loved the saloon and original historical house though we ran out of time to do the tour. Next time. Alex our host was fantastic, friendly and a fount of local knowledge. Highly recommend and will hope to stay again.

Alex, the owner, was great. Our site was under huge elm trees and therefore we had lots of shade. Alex’s 3 big dogs were very laidback and sweet. We took the 2 hour tour and were amazed at his knowledge of the Lyons, Campbell’s and the history of the ranch. The family has collected furniture, art and artifacts from all over the world which were amazing. The ranch is nice and quiet. The weather was rainy and therefore wasn’t conducive to a swim but the pool looked inviting. The wood fired hot tub and showers weren’t available when we were there but are a work in progress. The restrooms were a little primitive inside the saloon but were clean. Our grandson enjoyed playing pool inside the saloon. Understand that the ranch and buildings are very old and you shouldn’t expect it to be pristine. Consider it an experience not to be missed. I’d go there again and the tour is a must!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the L.C. Ranch over the 4th of July weekend.
We had full, drive-thru RV hookups. We had access to the pool, toilets, a shower, and a washer and dryer, along with other amenities, if need be. The westward views from our spot were breathtaking. We enjoyed our pop-in visits every now and then from Alex's three dogs. Alex took us on a fascinating two-hour, historical tour of the ranch. We liked being close to Bill Evans Lake and the Catwalk.
If you're looking for a place to visit a little off-the-beaten-path, this would be it. We definitely recommend a visit!
Thanks, again, Alex!
