Mountain RV spot at Elk Ridge Ranch
Truly unique experierence
Had a lovely stay at Sue and Dale's place. Coming up the drive and seeing a giant bull elk first thing is quite the sight! We got to feed the bison apples, marshmellows to the elk, pet the cats, hang with the dogs, and enjoyed hanging out at the pond chatting under the stars. If you are looking for a unique camping experience or have always wanted to boop a bison nose, this is definitely worth checking out.

Experience of a lifetime in NM
I cannot say enough good things about the stay, the experience and the host. We have 3 children ages 17, 10 and 4 and there are few things we do where all kids are excited and happy, and this was one of those things. Upon arrival we were greeted like family and made to immediately feel at home by Sue and Dale. Truly couldn’t have asked for two nicer people to spend time with. Then Kati and Sami (the two dogs) followed with a welcome and loving greeting next. We got to be as intimately involved in the feedings and caring of the Elk and Bison as long as we were comfortable and we could safely do so. And the swimming hole/pond/pool was beautiful , refreshing and so much fun. Each of our children said they didn’t want to leave (after a 2 day stay) and have all asked when we can go back. Also another positive to our endless list is that Dale and Sue allowed our dogs to come in and go swimming with us. Our big dog LOVES the water and we were blown away and so grateful that they allowed us that additional experience. Truly an experience of a lifetime with wonderful people, you’ll regret not putting this on your list of must do’s.

Beautiful site + friendly hosts!
We were only here for one night, but it was a very special one! Hosts are so kind and made sure we had a chance to feed the elk. My husband is a talker and we had a great time swapping stories about life and what it’s like to live in this area of NM. We bought some meat too that we are excited to try! The site was level and hooking up was easy. They have a few dogs that were super sweet. Wonderful visit overall, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful spot with us!

Cool spot to camp
Susan and Dale were wonderful hosts, very warm and helpful. They had full hookups for the RV and a shady, nice spot to relax. The kids and our dog loved being able to stay and swim. Seeing the elk and bison up close was a unique experience. We highly recommend the Elk Ridge Ranch.
