Situated in El Prado, just northwest of Taos, the park sits at an elevation of approximately 7,000 feet. Guests are treated to unobstructed vistas of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east, which glow with vibrant colors during the sunset hours. The surrounding environment is classic high desert, characterized by sagebrush and wide-open skies that stretch for miles. Its location off Highway 64 provides easy access while remaining far enough from the road to ensure minimal traffic noise during your stay.

Each site includes full hookups with 30 or 50-amp service and a private picnic table for outdoor dining. On-site facilities are consistently noted for being clean and well-maintained, including the laundry room and showers. For those traveling with pets, there are walking paths directly from the property, and the on-site convenience store stocks essential supplies and unique local gifts.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure is just minutes away, starting with the iconic Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, which offers breathtaking views of the river carving through the canyon.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to hiking trails in the Carson National Forest, while art lovers can spend hours browsing the galleries and museums in the historic Taos Plaza.

We've traveled to the Southwest from our home in Oregon several times with our little travel trailer. Taos Montebello is our favorite stop. It's a small park, only about 30 spaces, but the sites are large, and landscaped with flowers and native shrubs. The owners are friendly, and the location is perfect for us. It's close to Orlando's restaurant, the Millicent Rogers Museum, the Taos Pueblo, and the old town square. We look forward to staying here the next time we come back!

Really nice park! I stayed a week and all the people were wonderful. They gave me ideas as what to see and were always willing to help. The bathrooms were spotless and spacious and the laundry was very reasonably priced & had a nice recliner to wait in. I was there in November so the park was almost empty but they still were working on trimming the trees & making the park beautiful. Great place!

We had a great overnight stay at this quaint RV park. The host was very friendly and helpful. The full hookup site that we had offered ample space between your neighbors. There are beautiful views of the mountains. The sunset and sunrise was beautiful. It is close to the town center of Taos. We will definitely stay here again.

Been to this RV Park twice now Amazing 360 views and sunset. Walking trails out into the sage. Quiet. Peaceful. The park needs more restrooms and gender neutral signs as there is only one man and one woman restroom/shower. You will likely end up waiting to use them if park is full.

This was a nice campground. The people working here were very attentive and polite and helpful. It's well kept clean. It's 6 miles out of town so you avoid the drama of being in town. I'm saving this so we can find it next time we're in the area Reasonably priced and I recommend.
