RV sites, tent camping, glamping and cabins on the Rio Peñasco, about 20 minutes below Cloudcroft. Open all year.
Camp Rio is a family campground on eleven acres of mountainside in Mayhill, with the Rio Peñasco flowing right through it. Clay and Julie Speer bought the park, then The Camp at Cloudcroft, in 2020, and a vote in the local paper gave it its new name. It has 38 full hook-up RV sites, 15 tent sites, four glamping stays and four cabins, trout in the river, and in winter more deer and turkey than people.

Six places to sleep with a roof over your head, each with its own page.
The cottonwoods by the office turn gold while the desert below is still hot.
Besides the gorgeous surroundings and wildlife (deer, turkey, ducks) the hosts and owner were wonderful. Clay was very present and chatted with the campers. All the hosts were so friendly and happy.
We love Camp Rio and the owners Clay and Julie. We’ve been camping here for more than 30 years with my Cousin Rick Cearley and his wife Maray. Great camp ground no stress.
