Campground suggestions for Red River or is there a better area to go.I just need a few days away from the Tx heat.

Any place in Red River is going to be good to get out of the heat but also Check out Cimarron Canyon State Park
OR at the same distance from Amarillo is Monument Lake Resort in Colorado.

I found a nice park just east of Taos. There are several on the highway east of Taos and towards red river.

We just got back from a trip just outside of Taos. Rained some each day and the temps were great. Never ran the a/c.

Pretty much any of the three higher-elevation towns in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico should help: Red River, Eagle Nest, Angel Fire. But even somewhat lower areas like Santa Fe or Taos are surely a great improvement!

It kind of depends, though, on where you are in Texas. If you're from north Texas, then northern New Mexico. If from more southern areas of Texas, then you might want to consider someplace down in the Sacramento Mountains: Ruidoso, Cloudcroft, etc.

Just head on up to Wichita Falls up into OKLA to Medicine Park and visit the Wichita Mtns Wildlife Refuge... Lots of shade there and two or three lakes to visit. Camp Doris is a nice park with both hookups and non hookups......

Used to go up there alot when we lived in Wichita Falls.

Of course it probably will be a bit cooler North of Albuquerque on the Colo border in the Natl Forest Mtns
