Trail Notes
What we noticed on the ground
On our 2023 road trip to Las Vegas we had the opportunity to visit the Manzano Mountans and spend one delightful night camping at the Manzano Mountains State Park. Manzano Mountains State Park is pretty small for a state park but Man o Man what a beautiful place to camp! Found on the eastern slopes of the Manzano Mountains and just a bit of a challenge to drive into this cool little campground is one of the most peaceful places we have RV camped in a very long time! Thanks to having A/C power at many of the sites this campground is ideal for camping in hot or cold weather. There are no showers or flushing toilets but when you have motor-home you have those with you anyway! Join me as I explore Manzano Mountains State Park in New Mexico!

Campnab
Want the best campsite?
I do too.
I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.
That's why I use Campnab.
I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.
Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.
Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.
👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.

Starlink
Want to stay connected on the road?
So do I.
Dude RV travels, camps, uploads, and runs Factory from the road. Starlink keeps us connected.
I am not claiming it works at this campground. Coverage and performance vary.
Referral link: if you order Starlink through this Dude RV link, Dude RV may receive Starlink service credit that helps pay the internet bill. That is not a cash commission. Always check Starlink availability, coverage, plans, and pricing. This does not claim Starlink coverage, speed, pricing, or performance at this place.
