Please recommend campgrounds or RV Parks in Ruidoso, NM. We are currently parked at Amarillo Ranch RV Park. It is OK for overnight.
Tomorrow we leave for Ruidoso. Suggestions for things to see would be appreciated, also.
I posted an earlier response, but one of my pics was too large. I guess the entire post has to be redone. If the other one shows up, sorry for the duplication.?
I stayed at the Tall Pines park on the main drag in Ruidoso while installing my software -- and I understand that that is the park Ed chose for that rally. This has been some time ago and I'm not sure they are still using my software or even open -- but when I stayed there during the installation I had a great time as did my cat, Little Dude. He was at that time beginning his long illness. However, there was an excellent Vet a mile or so East of the park that made his time there much nicer.
In addition to being centrally located with easy walks to shops and very good restaurants, the manager of the park at the time insisted I go to the last day of racing at Ruidoso Downs -- also only a few miles East of the park.
I had never bet a horse race (and grew up in Central Kentucky). The manager of the RV park insisted I bet at least one race so with zero knowledge of how to pick a horse, I chose the one with blue colors. That's my favorite color and the colors of the Kentucky Wildcats.?

The odds were very long and if my huge bet of $3.00 came thru -- we would be having dinner on Ruidoso Downs.
The 1st attached pic is of the park entrance, then a pic of my rig at the time in site #17. I thought it the best site in the park. The 3rd pic is of my blue horse during the pre race parade, and the 4th is of my horse just before he passed the horse on his left and won the race. Wow!
The park is very old, not up scale, and has few amenities. It does (did) have nice treed sites (tall pines) and again, great location to walk around Ruidoso.
Hope you have a great stay in Ruidoso. From the pics, I hope you can see what a beautiful area you will find in the Ruidoso area. BTW, that's about an 8,000 ft. elevation if I recall.
