Rating: 5 4 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This place has an excellent setting, and would get a rating of '10' based on that alone, but the logistics of the RV park are not well thought out. Hook-ups at three of the sites are on the wrong side and hook-ups at the other two sites are located so that rigs need to be parked out in a car parking area. When we arrived, an RV in space 20 hooked up to space 19's utilities causing us in space 18 to have no hook-ups. We notified the staff, some of which were friendly and some not. The maintenance person told us that we were to share. We were even still charged for a full hook-up even though we were sharing. If the hook-ups were relocated this place would get a 9. We gave it a 5 for the redeeming quality of the mountain setting. - je23dr13
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Sipapu Lodge »The folks at Sipapu Lodge who handle the RV site reservations are very friendly and accommodating. But they seem to be clueless as to the problems with the sites. The web site emphasizes snow activities, disc golf and fishing, but shows no pictures of the RV sites. For this reason one has no heads-up of what to expect when considering the campground. Yes, the woods and stream are very nice, but it's difficult to enjoy them for several reasons. There are five sites, crammed into a space that is suitable for only three. Space 20 puts your door right at the back of a rental building, and has no water hookup. All the sites have the hookups on the wrong side; if you're not in a motorhome that can pull in forward, you have to run your electric cable and hoses under the RV and past the front door. We endured a weekend elbow-to-elbow with partying neighbors and five loose dogs who roamed around threatening our dog and digging in the trash. Two of the sites share a fire pit and picnic table; the fire pits are deep steel rings with no ventilation holes, so the fire burns low and smoky. I asked about the advertised Wi-Fi connection, but was told it wasn't working. We made the best of the situation, but won't go back unless the RV sites are completely rebuilt. - nmroadrunner

Rating: 8 9 9 10 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is one of several BLM campgrounds in this area. If you need to shower you go down the road to another one. This is an absolutely beautiful area. We were there in September and I imagine it is quite crowded during summer months. They do not take reservations. It is within easy driving distance of Taos. - ryderruns
This campground is in close proximity to Taos. Though close to the access road, it was quiet and well-kept with level, easily accessible sites. The hosts suggested that we hike the trail that went off from the campground which turned out to be the highlight of our stay for our boys! We suggest not taking 567 north out of the gorge unless you have a truck with 4-wheel drive that can handle a serious climb in gravel (though if you do, the view is spectacular!). - KyKampers
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Orilla Verde Recreation Area, Pilar Campground BLM »Truly spectacular Bureau of Land Management (BLM) campground just a short drive south of Taos, New Mexico. Rio Grand River across the street. Spotty cell service and poor Mi-Fi. The nicest BLM campground I have ever seen. We stayed for a week, and I could have easily stayed a month. Long pull-through sites. Rate is based on Access pass. - bingberg

Rating: 4 8 9 8 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We did not enjoy our stay at this dusty, trashy BLM site. $15 a night gets you an electric/water site with no sewer. Nearest dump is 30 miles away. You pay extra to shower. We had partial shade. Two unhappy campers. Stayed 2 nights; had planned to stay 7 nights. - SemperParatus
This is a BLM site near the river in the Rio Grande Gorge. In march we were only neighbors with the campground host most of the time. If it rains the park can get a little muddy. - New Mexico Stan

Rating: 8 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Small campground, 8 or 9 sites overall. Possibly 3 to fit rigs over 35' or so. these 3 sites were all pull thrus. Quiet park. Absolutely no cell service. Near road but little traffic. Didn't use showers but are pay, $1 for 4 minutes. About 1/2 mile away is the Pilar campground which has sites more suited to bigger rigs but no shade. - abqnm
Narrow two lane paved road from highway
Beautiful location
Big rig friendly
Tight corners but OK for 40 footer & toad
Pet Friendly
Right across the street from the Rio Grande
One bar Verizon analog, one bar LTE with antenna. - jorView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Orilla Verde Rec Area, Arroyo Hondo Campground BLM »The rate, actually $2.50, reflects a 50% Senior Federal Pass discount. This is one of the seven campgrounds within the Rio Grande Lower Gorge (Orilla Verde) BLM recreation area, about 18 miles south of Taos. It is a newly designed Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. Two of the campgrounds, Pilar and Rio Bravo, have water and electrical hook-ups. The others do not. All are gravel, off of a good paved road. A couple of the sites at Arroyo Hondo would accommodate a fairly large RV. There are no hook-ups or water at Arroyo Hondo and there are no dump stations anywhere in the complex. The nearest dump station is in Taos at a commercial campground. You can fill your tanks at one of the other campgrounds but other campers reported that the water was not very good, so you might want to fill your tanks before arriving. The sites at this campground are simple parking spaces, but they do have picnic tables, grills, and tent pads. There is a vault toilet and there is a trash dumpster. A few of the sites have amazing views of the canyon and the river. Satellite is not a problem since there are no trees. We did not have a usable Verizon phone or data signal even with our booster. It is a good place for visiting Taos or Ojo Caliente Hot Springs. We loved our site and would definitely stay here again. - TheJim

Rating: 1 5 3 4 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed a month in our 30' travel trailer. The owner is a good dude, but the manager (there day and night) lives in a tent year round on the grounds and is irascible and unruly. We couldn't wait to do our 30 days and leave. The wifi works if you're close to the office. Spots are adequate, 30 amp only, many hookups don't work, and the park is essentially unoccupied. There are 1 - 2 permanent residents and a few construction workers drift in and out. The picture on this listing is NOT of this RV park. This one is a dirt lot. We moved down the road 9 miles to a beautiful BLM public campground with 30A and 50A and water, for half the cost. It's right on the Rio Grande del Norte with big old cottonwoods and showers and who can beat that? - Gman-RV
This is the third time that we have stayed at this park in the past two years and have not had a bad experience. The first two times that we were here, the park was basically empty. This year there were a number of construction workers working on local projects. All were friendly. They did leave for work early in the morning. There is a mobile home community behind the park which accesses through a road to the side of the office and owner's residence away from the RV sites. There is a chain link fence and visual barrier around the RV Park. We did not feel at all uncomfortable during any of our stays. We never encountered anyone in the park that was not staying there other than RVers coming in to use the dump station after staying on nearby BLM lands. The greatest sources of noise were trucks at the adjacent Shell station and road traffic. The sites are not overly wide, but were wide enough for our slide and awning. There is no dog park. There are two small fenced areas. One is an old playground that the equipment has been abandoned/disabled and the grass not cut. The other is surrounding the horse shoe pits, which were being used during our stay. If pressed about dogs, the owner will allow them in the old playground. We paid $35/night which is the rate listed on the park's website. We found the owner and staff to be friendly and helpful. - trailertraveler
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Taos RV Park »The sites are 30 amp only, it is really just a gravel lot with some electric risers and sewer connections.. Dog park is over grown with weeds, no lighting, lots of long term construction workers. Night man is a drunk, gets nasty really quickly. Sites so small that a motor home trying to park next to me hit my rear bumper. Only good thing is that showers are clean and plenty of hot water. I will never go back to this place. - Dogfather

Rating: 8 9 6 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Convenient park just South of Downtown Taos. Site was level with great cell and Satellite coverage. We stayed in a pull through site near the entrance. Pretty close to the neighbors, but the Mountain View's were very cool. Site had propane for sale and we were also able to ride our bikes ~2.5 miles to the town center for a nice dinner. - Davishouse2
We stayed in a travel trailer (parking length 29') and tow vehicle, which fit easily into the spacious sites. There is nice vegetation separating parking slots, a few trees, and good facilities. This is one of the best rv parks we've stayed in. We're essentially full-timers. It's clean, the staff is attentive and helpful, and it's always clean and neat. What more could you ask for? We did stay on weekly and monthly terms. The park has eliminated monthly rentals on it's non-metered slots, and they don't necessarily tell you about the lower monthly rates that are available. Ask lots of questions to get the lower rates. We notice most campers are staying 1 - 3 nites this year, whereas previously the park was full and many were staying a month or more. This is a great park. It's well gravelled with heavy 2" stone. - Gman-RV
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Taos Valley RV Park & Campground »The park itself is nice but the showers and the WiFi are not. I never expect great WiFi in an RV park, but I do expect better from the showers. The floor was dirty and they had a little stool to put your stuff on that was SHARED between 2 showers! That thing was so small you could barely fit anything on it! We bought propane and it was $2.64 a gallon plus tax so 5 gallons was almost $15. The dog run here is in the desert and there were cactus low to the ground that dogs could easily step on so NO ONE walked their dogs there - and there's a lot of dogs here! - krawz

Rating: 3 8 4 6 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: A run-down RV park that needs upgrading, but there were not many options this close to Taos. Looks like a junk yard when you drive in but gets a little better once you cross the bridge and enter the park. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Sites 1 & 2 are just off to the left as you enter and are on a little creek and the most private. We were in site #1 which was plenty big for our 40 ft 5th wheel and truck. No AT&T cell service and the wifi was very weak and spotty. Very low water pressure; had to fill fresh water tank periodically and use the coach's water pump. Too bad it hasn't had any upkeep in years. This could be a beautiful RV park given the surroundings and setting. - Wayne60
This RV park gets 5/5 stars for the setting. It's nestled in Taos Canyon about 5 miles east of Taos. The canyon is narrow, containing a lovely little "river", lovely rock formations and Hwy 64. The park sits between the river and the rock formations, with the highway on the other side of the river. The traffic noise is minimal, just barely noticeable. Many of the campsites back up to the river so you hear the water running all night long. It is really peaceful. The other sites back up to the rock formations, soaring 50' or more above the campsites. There are many mature trees, giving the sites a lot of nice shade. The park was very quiet, and nice and dark at night. The facilities get 3 stars. The infrastructure is outdated, but mostly worked. Wifi really bogged down in the evening, but was certainly sufficient the rest of the day. Cell service, not the fault of the park, is non-existent. Bathrooms are outdated, but clean. The sites are small, offering a challenge for one's backing-up skills. This park was obviously laid out when most campers were much smaller than today's modern RVs. You would be wise to go check out a site before you accept it as there are some that would be impossible, depending on your rig. Sites had quaint privacy fences between them, giving a feeling of seclusion. - Piperjim
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Sierra Village Lodge and RV Park »As mentioned there is no cellular service. The wifi is practically non existent. It is difficult to get into sites with a big rig. One of our fellow travelers who was using 30 amp service could not use an air conditioner without the voltage going too low. The roads are dusty. - SomedayCame
