We've lived in New Mexico (Alamogordo and Albuquerque) for 30+ years, but had never made it up north to Sugarite Canyon State Park. But on our RV trip back home from Rocky Mountain National Park, we decided to spend a night here rather in the small town of Raton (eight miles away). It's a lovely park, with some steep walls, small lakes and an interesting history. We took a few of the smaller hikes (time was limited) and the one of the Coal Camp was very interesting.

It's a lovely park, with some steep walls, small lakes and an interesting history. We took a few of the smaller hikes (time was limited) and the one of the Coal Camp was very interesting.
Our 29ft RV barely fit in our site, and there were some tricky branches and overhanding trees to work around. The site was fairly narrow, but I will say we were spread out nicely between the sites. We were at a site with electric (30 amp only) and water (water pressure very low, due to a lower aquafer). The dump station was nearby, but no water available by it for flushing out the tank.
Camp hosts were super friendly. It was a very easy going place. Most of the sites are pretty small, and our "small" Class A was the biggest rig there, except for the hosts' 40' RV. So if you've got a bigger rig, you might have trouble finding a site to accommodate. But for smaller RVs, I think this is a great place to stay. VERY dark and quiet at night!! A lovely and reasonably priced spot that I can easily see spending a long weekend at.
