Let's start with Santa Fe Skies. Yes, a commercial park with all the pros and cons of that type, but well laid out and fabulous sunset views. About 10 miles out from the Plaza, but convenient route to town.
Taos Valley RV just up the road in Taos. These are our favorite two town in New Mexico: Santa Fe and Taos. The parks are just for a nice place to stay.

In fact, most of our experience of RV camping in New Mexico fits into this same pattern. The choice is made based on the area we want to visit, not on the campground as destination.
Chama is another place we like to visit and there are several choices of campgrounds there.
