Nice clean accommodations, kitchen, basic cooking & utensils, comfortable beds, and everything from 2 bdrm cabins to 5 bdrm house for rent. Fire rings, gas BBQ's and a playground for the kids outdoors. It was during the week after Labor Day so our host Jeremy was there to take care of things, and gave us some tips about the area & what to see & do. During summer season & on weekends there's a pizza restaurant open on site. Nearby is Bosque Del Oro wildlife preserve, one of the largest Elk herds in the US, Monument lake, North lake, Bear & Blue lakes, and others; trails, streams, 14'er peaks and pretty much anything you want to do outdoors. And the view! - wish I could post my pictures here! My idea of a slice of heaven!

Well, the entire park is littered with trash, old run down rvs with 5 year old expired plates.

The owners are kinda scatter brained and we were told many conflicting stories. My advice, find a different campground.

### Amazing Service on the Phone!…read more Even though I haven't had the chance to visit Gears RV Park yet, I felt compelled to leave a review based on my experience with their staff over the phone. I've been planning a trip and had some questions, and the person I spoke with was incredibly kind and helpful. It's rare to find such great customer service, and it makes me confident that my stay there will be just as wonderful. You can tell they are good people who genuinely care about their guests. I'm looking forward to finally visiting the park in person soon and will definitely book my stay here! Doc.

Cabins has two upper beds that the kids loved being up there. Two bunk beds downstairs, one master room, one couch that pulls into a bed for more bed space, one bathroom, one kitchen area with a cooking top. It's enough for a whole family with a crew of kids. Had such great views and an awesome community center. With Landry rooms, a hot tub that is huge, a fire pit that's make the experience magical. A computer that has WiFi. A comfortable dealing room. Bathrooms available. Family of 7 and it was such a great experience. Kids had first ski experience and ski school this was super closer to the slopes you can see the slopes in the day '& night when the slopes are light up for ski nights. Grocery stores and ski rentals all near the resort and the slopes.

We are so bummed we could only stay 1 night because the views are absolutely breathtaking!!! We chose a Mountain View pull-through site and are so happy we did! Dog park is a decent sized fenced in grassy area and there are trails all around the park with epic views. The only downside was getting here. We were coming from Arizona & Angel Fire is in the valley so lots of curvy mountain roads, which is to be expected. However they are doing road construction so it was very narrow & difficult to navigate if you have a big rig like us!

There were only about three or four of us in the park the whole time which was very quiet. Everyone was nice. My only complaint was the bathroom trailers are loud from the fan, so if you're looking for more quiet, I would request a site furthest away from them as we were right above them.

An Afternoon Well Spent !!…read more It has been many years since I've been to the Raton area and typically whenever I was in the area it was just a quick to use the bathroom or get gas. On this visit, it was on a Friday afternoon and I had a few hours to kill and wanted to actually see some of the area. I remembered from years past that there were some lakes up in the mountains that I had always wanted to see and now was my chance. The Park is only about 20 miles from Raton and the roads were not that busy. The drive up is really nice as you see mountains, hills ranches, and some great scenery. On the way to Lake Maloya I stopped at one of the smaller lakes, Lake Alice and spent about half an hour checking it out. There really isn't access to that lake but you can tell its frequented by anglers. It is a nice small scenic lake. I then made my way up to Lake Maloya which is a reservoir for the area and right on the Colorado border. The lake is magnificent!! On a nice warm summer day, there was a nice breeze and no bugs. There were boaters on the lake, some people canoeing and some campers but it was not that busy at all. I spent a good two hours stopping and driving farther up the lake until I came to the gate that takes you to Dorothy Lake ( for another time). The views are just amazing, I suggest bringing a canoe or kayak and spending a good day there. I'm not sure if there is swimming since I didn't see anyone swimming in the water. Next up was Sugarite Canyon, and when you stop at the main entrance they use the honour system where you pay, so please pay!!! I made my way to the visitors center and got a map of the trails. The canyon is a great place to hike and I saw no one else on the trail and felt like I had the place to myself. I can't describe how nice it was walking through the canyon, and all there is to see. I highly recommend hiking with a buddy since it is in a remote area and I saw a few different animal tracks as I made my way through the trails. In short, this area is worth a visit, you can spend a few hours there or a few days, its truly part of the magnificence that is New Mexico.

As the parks service says "The nature enthusiast will appreciate the abundance of wildlife, birds, butterflies, and wildflowers among the lakes, creeks, forests, and meadows. Nearly all outdoor recreation activities are possible: Fishing, boating, hiking, horseback riding, hunting, and camping." All true. This is a huge park. Full of lakes, trails & wildlife. We took a 6 mile loop trail starting at the dam yesterday and saw NO ONE else. Lots of scat indicate there lots of moose and bear around, so be aware. There are numerous other trails as well add the aforementioned activities. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
