    Camp Rio, formerly named Camp @ Cloudcroft is located in beautiful SE New Mexico! The park is surrounded by thousands of acres of the Lincoln National Forest. The forest is laced with small villages, picturesque roads, riding, hiking, golf, and walking trails. Small valleys, surrounding mountains, racing streams, wildlife, birds, mountain glens and outdoor activities are available to Camp Rio guests. The small towns around us are Mayhill, Cloudcroft, Weed, and Pinion.

    Camp Rio offers a serene escape with clean facilities and a friendly atmosphere. The bathrooms and showers receive high praise for their cleanliness and warmth. Guests appreciate the variety of camping options, from tent sites by the creek to glamping tents. Some note that certain areas can be a bit crowded and that there are occasional issues with staff rudeness.

    The bathrooms were private and clean, and the showers were nice. The campsite is more of a gravel parking lot without much character. It is fairly close to Cloudcroft where there was GREAT BBQ and nearby hiking trails. The campground is right on beautiful roads through Lincoln National Forest.

    The camp was beautiful and quiet, very peaceful and clean. The little river running through camp has crystal clear water and you can see trout hanging out under the willows and near the bridge. Waking up to about 40 turkeys walking through camp early in the morning was pretty cool as well. Would definitely stay at this camp again!
