Camping in Ruidoso, NM

Rent a "Group Site" at a National Forest campground. Usually around $75-100 per night for 10-15 rigs. Probably no hook-ups but you'll have the area to yourselves.

unfortunately not familiar with the area other than to say that seeing Sierra Blanca I really wanted to get out and hike to the top. Very pretty area, if I hadn't been on a 3 week, 5k mile whirlwind tour of 23 national parks and monuments I would have stopped for sure.

Exploring the area on Google maps I found an interesting site at
33.3873449, -105.7530434 perhaps you could contact the res to see if it's available?

What a horribly selfish idea.

Isn’t that what the group sites are for?

We use to go there years when I lived in Texas. There an Rv park called Blue Spruce (I think that's the name). It has 2 sections, a lower and an upper section which is up hill in the woods. If your coming from Texas and coming into town there's a Y in the road, take the left fork and head up the hill, it's on your left.

Seriously? LOL. We use to do that all the time for rallies. Best possible scenario. We even got the use of a HUGE pit bbq and clubhouse (in rainy season). That was at Lake San Antonio, in Central California.

Yeah, jfkmk probably just missed the fact that the OP is looking for a place for his camping group not just for himself.

You might want to try Mountain High RV Park.

I've never personally been there but one of the reviews say it's "not like a parking lot".

Looks nice and they have a 4.8 star rating. It just may fit your needs?
