    After a 6 day stay dry camping in the Argentina Canyon near Bonito Lake, we needed a full service…read moreRV Park for some luxury camping (a shower, electricity, etc). We stayed here on 10/16/2014, originally for 2 nights but had to extend it as we were having too much fun. The RV Park's owners are both friendly and helpful. There are NO permanent RV residence which always make me think I'm in a trailer park rather than a RV Park! Just RV visitors like us. The first night going dry camping, we rented one of their pull-thru areas that was nice so we could just bed down, not unhook and pull out the next morning. On the return trip, we got a space at the back, across the bridge near the river. The RV areas were full hook-up and had an indestructible picnic table. About 50 ft behind us was the river and a wooden swing seat for 3 where we sat and listened to the river. There were deer in our spot that we had to run off to back the RV into! Very nice. One of the owner's, Barry, will help you find your site and even make sure the RV is level. Then they leave you alone and let you do your thing. It was quiet at the park...no loud obnoxious music! Wifi back where we were was sketchy. 1-2 bars and with 14 people online at once, slow. We had 1 bar on Verizon Mifi but only about .2 mb download...so slow as well. AT&T phones... worthless. No bars at all. I am assuming Verizon phones will work since the MiFi worked. We were in a 35 ft RV with an Excursion, plenty of room and there were Class A's there too. The park is about 15 miles from town on the Hwy 37 that goes Bonita lake area. Far enough from Ruidoso to enjoy the country but only a short drive back into Ruidoso to enjoy the city.

    The RV park was not a pleasant experience for us. The website is very misleading. We had NO cell…read moreservice to make calls. Over priced. Pictures on their site are very misleading. Would not recommend. even with us being unhappy with the circumstances they charged us for one night. We left after 30 minutes.

    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").
