Camping in Ruidoso, NM

[RedRaider44]

Our camping group is trying to plan a trip to Ruidoso, NM this summer. We all have travel trailers 26-30 in length. We prefer not to stay in a close, side-by-side setting, but rather more open if possible. I have looked at many websites in the Ruidoso area, but most resemble parking lots...not for us. Any suggestions???

Thanks

You're right.

We'll come and camp in your backyard instead. OK?

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?

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.

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.

Isn’t that what the group sites are for?

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
