The best qualities of the unit we got were the bed, the pillows, the fireplace and the tile in the bathroom shower. It was dirty to the point I was wishing I had sanitizing wipes to clean with, and I used hand sanitizer to clean the toilet handle, bathroom sink knobs, and bathroom light switch. The floor had dust and dead bugs all around the edges. I washed two bowls to eat breakfast in and got two forks out to wash them (this before we ate) noticed a dirty spoon and knife in the drawer. The furniture was broken down. The "recliner " footrest would not stay elevated. The bedroom dresser drawers were hanging at different angles. There was no heat-February still gets cold nights in NM. I was cold all night under the thin bedding and there was no extra bedding.

PROS: The price was right and I felt like I was staying in a condo rather than in a hotel room. There are benches or rocking chairs outside of each door, a water fountain and sitting area on the bottom floor and an overall safe and friendly environment. Everything we needed was provided in the unit. There is a stove top, microwave, coffee pot w/coffee and a mini fridge that is actually much larger than a typical mini fridge. The stove top and mini fridge are definitely outdated but they work! Great shower with super hot water - be careful! Very comfortable living room to relax and watch TV. CONS: Despite there being wifi, we couldn't access it because we were never given a password. The front office was closed and we knew the person operating the office lived behind it in her own unit but the hours we were there (early morning, late night - we were out exploring the rest of the time) didn't coincide with what we thought were reasonable hours for her. Providing a wifi password should be part of check in. Our check in consisted of picking up an envelope with a key and a map in it. Wouldn't be hard to provide the wifi password in that envelope. Very, very soft mattress that dipped in the middle which led to both my husband and I waking up to an aching back both mornings.

It's set in the mountains, yet close enough to Ruidoso, Lincoln, Cloudcroft, and Capitan to make dining, shopping, and site-seeing simple and easy.

Not 10 minutes away is the city of Ruidoso, where deer feeders are illegal, but at RMR, "Click, click, click," another feeder goes off, and another deer barely responsive to the nearness of man. I was one of the guests who was present on the 250th anniversary where our forefathers declared our Independence. Excited, among family and friends, for the RMR set the tone with a bbq lunch at mid-day... and a day full of glee laid ahead. We gathered outside our RV spot at the provided chairs circling the fire pit and placed in the blistering heat, no shade or cover present above. No issue did we take heed, for we were born blessed, and kissed by the sun. The RV was set, and the TV, soccer-Paraguay vs France, barely audible, as we root for the US of A. Soon after, the owner and self- appointed Marshall in a dilapidated Mustang-inspired golf cart, with the ego to match, came circling by, round and round.. 10 minutes go by. .. 20 minutes go by.... still circling looking for any indiscretion... "Eeeek!" A score of minutes later, a child's glee to a present deer was the catalyst that had the Marshall finally stop. He confronted my friend to tell him he had "just" received a noise complaint. We took note, not another guest in sight, hiding in their RV fearful of the sun... "click, click, click," another deer feeder goes off. An hour or so later, another guest comes out, we say hello. Talk about their day, invite them over for a cocktail and to embrace this great 250th Independence Day! The guest departs, smile cracked, having made our acquaintance. Later we see them packing up and inquire about it, he reported, we are moving to a shaded spot away from the sun. Soon after, my friend and his 3 year old son, depart to the dumpster with a trash bag filled. Another deer seen, a child with a gleeful "Eeek!" Suddenly the Marshall (Owner) and his backup (wife) in a 57 Chevy-inspired Golf cart, gas pedal touching the floor, approached with much haste. Surrounded, my friend is told, we have received another noise complaint, and we hear you offered a patron a drink... A child unsure why his father was upset, as our group packed our things to comply with the departure request. We scrambled for another site to hook up the RV, all others fully booked, RMR - unsurpringly plenty availability to be seen... The RMR website reads "A place of unpretentious luxury," surely written as an oxyMoron...

The bathrooms are super clean, something I always check out right away since I'm not a fan of bathing in the super tiny shower in the RV. The kids enjoyed seeing wild horses and deer on the property. We were told that elk and turkeys visit the property, too, but we slept in most days and missed their early morning visits. There is a creek that travels along the back of the park that pools into a pond where visitors can go fishing (catch and release). There is plenty of space to walk around or for the kids to ride their bikes. We can't wait to go back!

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").
