Explore the wonder when visiting New Mexico campgrounds. Explore the past by camping in New Mexico near one of the dormant volcanoes, ancient lava flows, ice caves, fossil sites, archeological digs, and unique geology. But New Mexico isn't all about the past. The Land of Enchantment is also home to Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories—on the leading edge of new science and technology. Spaceport America is the nation's first purpose-built commercial spaceport.
Many RV parks in New Mexico are located in Billy the Kid Territory. Today, more than 125 years after his death, scores of historic points of interest here still recall the life and legend of Billy the Kid. Visit Billy the Kid's Lincoln, Billy the Kid's Old Fort Sumner, and Billy the Kid's De Baca County.
But Billy isn't the only historic character. New Mexico campgrounds are located where Native American cultures existed. Walk in the footsteps of the Anasazi, explore the Navajo Nation, or visit the Zuni, Acoma, and Laguna Pueblos. In northeast New Mexico, you'll see more history "where the plains meet the mountains." Still visible are the wagon-wheel ruts left by the early pioneers traveling the 175-mile Santa Fe Trail. They didn't have the option of staying at one of the beautiful RV parks in New Mexico.
If you love Georgia O'Keefe's colorful paintings, then you'll love camping in New Mexico's North Central Region. Cities in this region provide endless recreational activities, art, history, and great cuisine. Visit Taos Ski Valley, Ski Santa Fe, Angel Fire Resort, Red River, and many others for all season fun— especially during winter for outrageous skiing and snowboarding. Climb Nevada's highest mountain, Wheeler Peak at more than 13,000 feet. Also in this region, find one of the RV Parks in New Mexico near the state's capital—Santa Fe—home to North America's oldest church, world renowned art galleries, marketplaces, and performance venues.
New Mexico's opportunities for outdoor sports and recreation are as varied as the state's terrain. Few states can boast six of the Earth's seven climatic zones. With public lands amounting to more than a third of the state, New Mexico campgrounds are surrounded by opportunities for outdoor adventure. There are great rivers for all levels of rafting and great fishing, a variety of lakes for sailing, windsurfing and swimming.
While camping in New Mexico, you may want to keep your feet on the ground, but resist that urge because New Mexico is famous for its wide beautiful skies and offers the best ballooning, birding, flying, gliding, hang gliding, parasailing, and skydiving. It's your opportunity to hang around in the bright blue skies.
