Horses will welcome you along with Mule Deer and great views. The staff are exceptional people and all accommodations were amazing. Coming back several more times if not making it a permanent family trip destination.

Just as the name implies, this RV park is along the "river". More like a babbling brook but still nice. We stayed in a tent site by the stream. Which was probably not the best idea since everyone else in the park comes through your campsite to get to the stream. Definitely not the place for peace and quiet either. It is located right next to the highway and the traffic is very noisy. They charged us extra for the fire ring which I thought should have been included for what they charge per night. Sites are very close together so not a lot of privacy. The bathroom were very clean and do include showers. Very close to Ruidoso so if you forgot something, you can drive into town really quick. Overall not a bad location but pricey and not secluded.

I've been here for about a month. The owners are great. I explained I was bringing in a bigger trailer and taking out my other trailer. He was ready to trim trees and do what he needed to to accommodate it. People say the spots are small but you could fit a normal trailer in the small cargo trailer next to one another and would fit. Not to mention the sites can accommodate 45 ft toy haulers. It is a beautiful location and honestly makes me want to buy a house in the area. Love this place and I have moved all over the country and been to hundreds of RV parks for work. It is expensive but for where I am it is worth it. The river isn't flowing right now because of lack of rain. But still beautiful. You got a big lake to go fishing at 4 miles away, and hiking trails within minutes.

For us, we were looking for a quiet place to get off the road and Recoup. Along the river was a perfect place for us to stop. Beautiful grounds. Wonderful staff. This place is a jewel.

For the most part it we had always camped in Bonito Lake area but that part is gone due to the the Salt Fork fires. So this year we did some digging around to see where we can camp still kind of close; this is on the other side of Bonito lake and away from burn/danger and it is away from ruidoso main area where the flooding has been happening. We camped one night here and it was perfect, the sister of the siblings in charge helped us check in and it was a warm welcoming experience, super friendly! The next day it started pouring down, we were going to go hike into Ruidoso area but we found out it started flooding there to an unsafe point so we stayed in our campground. We met and talked to the brother of siblings in charge and again so friendly and super helpful with great energy! Luckily
