7 MILE DIRT ROAD to get here. It took us almost an hour to ease our way into this gem in a 43' motorhome, but it was worth it. Full hookups with 50 amp power and FREE firewood!! This place is essentially a coop camp community that has a number of "daily" sites. Best showers we have ever seen. Deer throughout the campground drove the dogs nuts. Cattle roaming in the woods are pretty startling. wonderful people made us feel very welcome. NO cell service of any kind. No WiFi, no cable. - bobcovey

Found this place on the recommendation of another RVer we met in Las Cruces. We're fulltimers, and this is one of the more unique campgrounds we've ever stayed at. It's up in the Gila mountains about 15 miles outside of Silver City on a huge property that reminds me more of a state park than a commercial campground. They have clean restrooms that look like they were recently renovated, and there's full hookups. There's also a western-style lodge building where there are activities from Spring thru Fall. The lodge was built by a family that was friends of FDR. My wife and I enjoyed hiking around the area. We'll be back during the warm season to try some of the activities. - PeterW

Oh my gosh what a gem of a place! We were only going to stay 4 nights and ended up staying almost two weeks while we waited for our AZ town to cool down a bit. The owners are beyond fabulous. The "clubhouse" was actually a home once upon a time and now is a lovely place to hang out with a front porch and rocking chairs. It is just outside of Silver City. Owner will call you and make sure you know how to get there.

The only drawback is the dirt road getting into the park. It is very full of ruts and washboarding so take it slow. Once you get there though--heaven! She does have some long term folks, all very nice. There are limited spots for big rigs and it can be tricky getting around as it is an older park. We absolutely would stay and will stay here again! Can't say enough good things about this park and you will love the owners. - cchall112

This place is a absolute jewel! The landscaping was very nice with all the southwest plants and cactus. Mr. and Mrs. Manzano were so kind and would have done anything to make our stay really special. We were given site #7 which wasn't level and wifi was spotty so we moved to site #16 which was much better. The campground is very quiet with no noise, there is a rough gravel road leading to the campground which is maybe 1/2 mile, so you are away from all the Hiway noise. The price is $30 daily or $160 week, we stayed 9 days and the cost was $235.20. We loved the area with so much to do. The City of Rocks, Chino Mines, Cliff Dwellers and the Catwalk, all were lots of fun. We would definitely go back if we are in the area. - DallasRVers

Very nice smaller park in hills E edge of Silver City. Sites have been added. Looks like 25 sites total. Very nice owners take pride in the design of the park. Private nooks at sites in pinyons & junipers, nicely landscaped w native plants & rock walls. Picnic tables in nooks. Level gravel sites, pull-thrus & back-ins. Some sites a little tight. Backed out of our pull-thru, site #4, but easily done. Clubhouse (converted house, open 7a to 8p) has a nice covered porch w several chairs, inside a lounge area w lg. selection of DVD's/VHS movies to borrow, puzzle room, kitchen area, laundry (1-washer, 1-dryer, $1 each), small exercise room w 4 machines & office. Didn't look at restrooms/shower. We would stay here again! - Roaming Roads and Rivers

Having never been to Silver City, NM, we decided to stay at Rose Valley RV Park for a few nights. The park is on the older side with gravel roads and very nice spaces. We arrived after hours and a note was taped to the office door with our name and assigned site. Our site was very spacious and had an enclosed area on the correct side. We had no table or fire ring. We had a large ant hill under our rig and when I brought it to the attention of the office, the park manager was tending to it before I could get back to the RV. The park is very quiet with several "live ins" throughout the park. Just so you know, the neighbor of this park is the local cemetery. We were parked away from the cemetery and it really wasn't an issue. Not much to do in Silver City but this is a very nice park to get is some serious relaxing! - Bakersfish

A very nice, clean and quiet RV park. Like a good state park with all the amenities. Except the wifi at our site (35) was inconsistent. Our site was very long, level (gravel) and private. The location was close to the historic district. We really like this RV park. - rncordy

Quiet RV park with spacious sites. Clean restrooms with roomy showers and nice laundry room with several washers and dryers. Walking distance to Albertsons grocery store. - Rvtraveler2014

Our experience was good. When we pulled in we were given a site with 30 amp but we didn't have a converter to go from 50-30. They worked the sites around for us and were able to get us in a site with 50 amp. And it was a better site. It was within walking distance to town and if you took the trail by the Public Safety offices it was a pleasant walk. The dogs enjoyed the large dog run. Everyone was nice and easy to deal with. We would definitely stay here again. - CyndiTad

A great little park close to downtown Silver City. It has a store in the office that serves fresh brewed, selected coffees and pastries. Pull thru sites accommodate 36 foot RV's or less. My 40' plus 18' trailer backed into overflow sites with FHU but only 30A service. Office staff and camp hosts are very friendly. Some full time campers but many campers in and out. I would certainly stay here again if the need arises. - kihei7

A very pleasant park near the center of town. Nice trees, friendly hosts and quiet. A nice dog park for our four-footed friend to explore off-leash. We just stayed one night but I could easily see spending several days here. - Mark Millman

We stayed the month of April 2017 and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We received a discounted monthly rate. The owners were so helpful and friendly as were the workampers. We give Silver City KOA an A+ and hope to return here and work with them as KOA Workampers. - Bob and Diane McCullough

Clean quiet campground especially in winter. Bathroom/shower/laundry were all spotless. The campground has some hiking trails around the back which make a nice place to walk the dogs. - cfmelville

First, The managers were great, they really educated us on things to do in the area. Most of the park is mud with some gravel in the sites. There is grass, but mostly in the show areas. The pet area is pure mud, so is virtually unusable. The Wi-Fi was also virtually unusable, extremely slow and signal so weak it kept dropping my computer. It looks like they are trying, but Wi-Fi and pet areas are important to us. - flyfisher1

We stayed here for 4 nights. It is a large level gravel parking lot with full hookups and lots of room. Verizon and Mifi work great. Lodge has Wifi inside. Good views and is close to Silver City and other sights. You must be an Elks member to camp here. We paid $15 a night. No cable, but were able to use our air antenna for 1 station we picked up. - margeandbob

Really loved this campground. As others have said the road getting up here (Hwy 35) can be windy, narrow and bumpy but the campground itself is very spacious and big-rig friendly (we're 40-foot and had plenty of room to spare). There are actually 2 campgrounds within 1 mile of each other around Lake Roberts: the lower one is called Upper End and is on level w/ the lake, but no views of it. The upper one is Mesa and is overlooking the lake (and some sites have views of the lake). Sites are large, flat paved with lots of space and separation, picnic table, grill and fire-pit. There's a selection of electric and non-hookup. No showers, but flush toilets are on-site. DUMP station available at Mesa Campground. Lots of nearby hiking and a good base to explore Gila Forest and the Cliff Dwellings. It's almost totally empty during the week, but fills up on the week-end. Overall we loved the place and would definitely come back. (NOTE: NO Verizon coverage here, nor further up at Gila Cliff Dwellings) - nina_70

A great campground. Several things to consider. The very windy, narrow roads can be tough to navigate to get to the campground. Remember: there are no pull-through sites with hookups, and there are no showers! Also, the summer months are very overcrowded and can be pretty noisy. The weekends are busy. The weekdays are best from September to early December, and February to early May. - andy101usa

Really enjoyed our stay here. We weren't sure what to expect but reviews were good and were accurate. The manager and his wife went out of their way to be helpful and the park was exceptionally well kept and clean. The surrounding area has limited facilities. Only 2 restaurants close. 3 Questions Coffeehouse (open Tuesday through Saturday) is excellent with a $6.50 breakfast buffet. The restaurant at the local gas station is OK and good value for money. Close access to Gila National Forest. We would definitely stay there again. - Vtwin996

Very nice people run this campground. We stayed 4 days. Level site, wifi, sewer, 30 amp service, and water. No TV but they do have loaner DVDs. - Smokinghawk49

Only draw back is the sites are narrow. Would have rated higher otherwise. Most sites are shaded, all are gravel but really pretty level and long. Restrooms are 1 mens, 1 womens and are huge and beautifully decorated. Very nice club house with Wi-Fi for guests. Gas, a good restaurant, and medical all close by. Managers and workers very nice and helpful. Would stay here again. - horsefolk

Internal roads are dirt and winding but easily driven with a big rig, sites are dirt, most were not level and could be a challenge to find a suitable site for a big rig. There are some pull-throughs, ours was level, some sites would not be satellite friendly. Staff were volunteers and not overly helpful, you have to go find a site and then fill out a self registration form (with exact payment amount) and put it in the vault. Hint, pick up the form prior to finding your site so you can fill it out on-site and then walk it back. T-Mobile/Tracfone cell service was non-existent on the North side and fair on the South side. The park was quiet. We would stay here again. - KDSpree

Great place. Nice trails. Hot showers available at the visitor center. Most sites are first-come first-served but some are reservable. Only drawback is the is no place to dump your holding tanks here. You can drive back into Deming and dump them for free at Valero but that's about a 50 mile round trip. Would definitely stay here again but would limit it to three or four days. - jprisbe

Stayed 2 nights and would have enjoyed a longer visit. We reserved a site with water and electric, which is $14 instead of $10 for boondocking. Roomy spaces, with covered picnic table and a fire ring/grill. The scenery is amazing, and the clear night skies are stunning. I thought our Arizona skies were awesome, and the New Mexico skies are equally as imposing. The place was busy for midweek in March, but never felt crowded. Only negative is the way some motorists think they are on city streets the way they drive. It can be dusty, so going at a good clip really stirs things up. This park is a real gem. We would stay again and again. - EileenC

nice setting. quiet park with the mineral hot springs. only negative is the water pressure. 12-15 psi. not a big issue for us. - mike hast

Very nice for a rural spot in the middle of nowhere :-) Very pretty grounds. Site was reasonably level with full hookups; low water pressure was only negative (very very low). Soaking in hot spring was outstanding experience and thoroughly relaxing. Highly recommended. Not a "fancy" place at all, but we had a very nice stay. - ziaptrn

I have had the pleasure of staying at Faywood Hot Springs, and am on a month to month site. This is such a unique experience, as the water here is so amazing! The property is a hands on operation, run by the owners. 5 plus stars, and the star gazing is simply amazing! Thank you! - The Deej
