Our opinion, based on a number of nights in multiple parks, is that the New Mexico state park campgrounds are the best bargain in the nation. $14/night for W/E sites and $18/night for FHU sites, including the daily park pass! Our favorites are Sugarite Canyon near Raton (which may have only one pull-out site long enough for the OP), South Monticello cg at the north end of Elephant Butte Lake SP (with plenty of gravel W/E sites long enough), and Grassy Point cg at El Vado SP between Chama and Abiquiu.
For Federal campgrounds, we also like Cochiti COE cg and the Juniper cg at Bandelier National Monument. Bandelier may not have sites long enough for the OP.
Like others, we have stayed multiple times at Santa Fe Skies and Taos Valley RV parks. But, in Las Cruces, we stay at Sunny Acres, not Hacienda, because we love the older cg with mature trees and lots of shade to a newer one with small trees and SW architecture. But then, we are always in Las Cruces in winter, so having a swimming pool makes no difference to us.
NM is one of our favorite places, so have a great time!
