Camp Rio, formerly named Camp @ Cloudcroft is located in beautiful SE New Mexico! The park is surrounded by thousands of acres of the Lincoln National Forest. The forest is laced with small villages, picturesque roads, riding, hiking, golf, and walking trails. Small valleys, surrounding mountains, racing streams, wildlife, birds, mountain glens and outdoor activities are available to Camp Rio guests. The small towns around us are Mayhill, Cloudcroft, Weed, and Pinion. These towns have scheduled activities such as arts and craft fairs, car shows, bluegrass festivals, dog shows, and Lumberjack days. Additional day trips to Alamogordo, Capitan (Smokey the Bear), Carlsbad, Las Cruces, Lincoln (Billy the Kid), Ruidoso (skiing), Sunspot (National Solar Observatory, Truth or Consequences (Hot Springs) and White Sands National Monument! Guests enjoy our upgraded free wifi to have the best of both worlds, surrounded by beautiful nature, while still being able to connect with family/friends/work. Our location is superb to use as a base camp for numerous attractions as a centralized location to have many adventures.

I really enjoyed staying here for 2 nights. I picked a time when no one else was there so it was very quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very attentive and kind. The area is nice with the river right there to see and also hear while you fall asleep. Would definitely come again! :)

Camp Rio Cozy Cabin
Great Cabin, Great location
Well equipped and spacious cabin with everything you need.. kitchenette, hot shower, flush toilet, comfy bed and sitting chairs, etc. My visit was in early December so there weren’t many other guests at the campground and it was very quiet. I imagine in peak season it might be a lot busier and possibly noisier. Next time I come here I might like to stay instead in the Gypsy Village up the hill and away from all the bigger RVs. But I highly recommend this place if you want plenty of creature comforts in a gorgeous mountain setting
