    This camp ground is 100% recommended! Definitely a hit if you're planning to go to white sands national park and u need a place to camp. It's off the freeway so listen to Siri and slow down a lot on the 1/2 mile warning. It's a quick right turn. Otherwise you'll have to make a u-turn 5 miles down the road. $7 for a really private campsite with a shaded picnic table. We came in on a first come first serve on a Tuesday evening. The views are amazing and drive slow. Lots of livestock crossing the road. No trailers and no long vehicles. The road up is narrow and lots of sharp turns.

    Really beautiful scenery and good picnic areas and restrooms. It is just a quick drive from Las…read moreCruces and it's worth seeing as the mountains are beautiful.

    I camped here for a change of pace while driving across country on I-10. I found this place by…read moresearching yelp for campgrounds from my iPhone ap while on the road. Great find! There are a couple of things you will want to know if you find this the same way I did. First, note that the map/directions that this yelp site gives you will NOT take you to the campground (it takes you to what must be a BLM office in Las Cruces). UPDATE: I submitted the correct address (Aguirre Springs Road) to Yelp. If that is the address that shows up, it is correct. The Marquess Street address is the incorrect one. These are the directions copied and pasted from the Aguirre Spring website: Location / Access The Aguirre Spring Campground is located on the east side of Organ Mountains, east of Las Cruces in Dona Ana County. Take U.S. 70 for 14 miles east of the I-25/U.S. 70 interchange in Las Cruces, then turn south on the Aguirre Spring Road (1.1 miles after San Augustine Pass) for six miles. At mile 4 the road becomes a one-way loop and climbs steeply. Next thing to note is that the only facilities are toilets. They were clean and well kept. These restrooms do not have sinks or mirrors. There are no showers and there is no water at the campsites. You can fill up your water containers at the campground host's site which is right on Aguirre Spring Road as you start driving in. The sites have picnic tables and grills and some have fire pits. There is a loop of campsites that are off to the right of the camping pay station. Those sites are pretty close together, and there were several families camped up there, but they are right at the base of those gorgeous rock mountains. I bypassed this loop and drove down the road a little further and camped in a spot on the left a little ways passed the hiking trail (which is on the right). I loved my spot. I pitched the tent under shady tree. A restroom was close-by. I went for a trail run/hike the following morning. A very well spent $3!

    Slow Play RV park in Ruidoso was well maintained and quiet. The restroom and showers were clean…read more The staff were helpful and the owner sent the maintenance guy with a wrench when we needed to disconnect our battery. When I asked where to dump my gray water, the owner came to my site to show me where it was. We would return here if we go back to Ruidoso. I would have liked to have more trees and little more shade, that is why I did not give them 5 stars.

    We are about 10 days into our 14 day stay here. I'm sitting here on the Saturday of Labor Day…read moreWeekend and I thought I would go ahead and do my review of Slow Play. Normally, when we are first time in an area and RV park, at some point we cruise through the other RV parks to see if we might find one we like for our next time in the area. Not here. We like this park and the owners so much, we have not driven through any of the MANY campgrounds in Ruidoso. We will definitely return for at least a month (escaping the Texas heat). To keep it simple, I will ditto all the positive comments about Slow Play. The few negative comments occurred during the previous owner. This young couple have owned Slow Play for a couple of years (?) and actually run the place and are present "all the time". We are on a two month moho trip and selected Ruidoso as our last stop before heading home to central Texas. We had never been to Ruidoso, so we decided to stay two weeks and get to know the area, plus not traveling over the Labor Day weekend. I'm glad we did. I could actually stay longer, but time to get home. Other reviews mention that some campsites have permanent rigs/residents. This is a separate area and well maintained. The occupants are actually friendly; they wave and speak as we walk our dog. During our stay, the owners threw a get together for all the campers. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend. I have nothing negative to say. I really don't have any recommendations for improvement. The only better campground I have stayed in was the resorts that charge 100 plus a day; we were full-timers for 10 years and have stayed in a LOT of campgrounds and resorts (be careful of the term "resort").

A tour is the easiest method to get into the park. All the guides/tours I have hired have been nice, but this is the easiest method of getting a good guide. I have had nothing but good experiences on the tour groups. Just make sure you can climb at the level range of the tour. It is a business owned by climbers run by climbers. Everyone is nice and loves climbing. The climbing energy is infectious. Sometimes the facilities could be better and cleaner. The area seems to be getting better. There are flush toilets! The campground is the easiest one to get into. The National Park Campground is a plan ahead reservation system and can be trying. It is a bunch of climbers running amok, but it is not as bad it could be. The majority of the peeps are here to climb hard. If you are not into camping or a hostel environment El Paso has plenty of hotel/motel rooms. I didn't use the Rock Ranch to plan my first trip, but now I get all my guides/tours from here. See you climbing!

    Best bet for climbers | Good vibes, cool facility $…read more This place is AWESOME. I wish I knew this place was open during the times I stayed in El Paso to climb at Hueco Tanks though. The time when I usually come to climb in the park is Veterans Day weekend, and that time frame is when they're just starting to open for the season. We went here to rent crash pads. $10/day for the regular 2 fold $15/day for the tri fold *the ones we rented were NEW!!!!! This place is in association with the American Alpine Club, so if you stay here you get a discount if you're a member. From what I saw, there are a couple rooms that have several bunk beds, a couple rooms with single beds, some rooms that have their own bathrooms, a shared bathroom down the hall, a common space area, a bar area, and a shared kitchen. The outside has some training equipment, too. It's just a place full of climbers staying to be close by to the park instead of 45 minutes away in El Paso, near the airport. There is also camping spots available and lots of parking spaces. We'll be back next year and hopefully if they are open we'll be staying here :)
