ThIs campground is now closed due to the Little Bear fire that occurred in May. What a shame. Bonita Lake is closed to fishing and is reported to be filled with ash and debris from the fire. {Website confirms. Check back after this season.} We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I took my girlfriend to the Ruidoso area in order to propose to her. The owner of a nearby Bed and Breakfast where we stayed arranged a special picnic dinner at this RV park where I proposed. The owners were very helpful in setting this up and were very friendly and professional. The picnic was a huge success - the backdrop of a creek bed and tall trees made the location were scenic and romantic. During our time at the picnic, we took a walk around the park. The campers we met were very friendly and the grounds were very clean and attractive. I will definitely come back to camp here next time I am in the area. Great experience overall! We camped here in a Tent.

We love dry camping and Bonito has lots of shaded RV areas. Lots of locals on the weekends/summer. Quite on the weekdays. The camping area extends for about 1/2 mile. If you like the quite, park near the entrance. The main area can gets packed and there's lots of music. This is a great place in the off season. Busy in the summer. Lake Bonito is about a mile away but there are no camping spots near the lake. Cell phones barely work. Forget Wi-Fi. Satellite TV is a necessity! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
