A stop off I10 not to miss
We have just come back from Rusty's RV Ranch just North of Rodeo NM and only 23 miles from I 10. The sites are good sized and level and the facilities are exceptionally clean. The staff wonderful. ...

Rusty's RV Ranch gets great reviews...
"Rusty's RV Ranch is located in New Mexico, but virtually on the border with Arizona. It is an exceptionally unusual park, with very large sites averaging a quarter acre each. Although there are side-by-side hookups, they've been designed in such a way that you will have no sense of another RV being anywhere close to you. Extremely pet friendly, and with free WiFi for short term guests, this is a fabulous place for a "home base" while visiting the Chiricahua mountains. Be sure to see the "towns" of Portal and Paradise. This is truly the land of the starry nights, owing to it reputation as one of the top six places in the country for astronomy buffs. Full hookups, fabulous scenery, and friendly folks. It's a bit out of the way for most "tourist routes", but well worth venturing out to this part of the country. (01/09)"
My few somewhat recent trips down West I10 along the close border areas Personal Safety is a hugh thing now with all of the foot traffic coming across the border. In past trips we was always doing the pull offs and catching a few hours sleep under a tree somewhere ... Wouldn't think of doing any of that in these times...
Being so close to the border however I would always keep a watchful eye on my surroundings. Common sense rules... Its a darn shame too as things are so beautiful in the West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona southwest desert areas.
Most of my working days since the 1960s were spent from North Texas to Phoenix AZ making the Interstate and back roads trips.
