For Taos Valley RV Park: This is one of only a few RV parks in the immediate area of the city of Taos. This campground had positive reviews, and the photos looked nice, so we chose it.
As other people indicated, the park is clean, and reasonably spacious for a private campground. There were buddy sites so your traveling partners could have coaches facing one another, which is also nice. There was ample room to park both our fifth wheel and our truck. The sites we had were concrete and level (we were traveling with others, and their site at a different area of the park was dirt/rock and much less level).
There was good Verizon and AT&T cell service in the park as well. I don’t use park WiFi, the laundry rooms, or the bathrooms so I cannot comment on that (although people we were traveling with said they were nice).
My issue with this park is the way they charge. Their website indicates a certain charge for 30 amp sites, 50 amp sites, pull-thrus and back-ins. Also, some had sewer, and some did not. Not until we got there did we discover that although we had paid for a premium spot with 50 amp power and sewer, that the cost of the electricity itself was NOT included in the price. This was not prominently indicated on their website. Their policy/procedure was to take a meter reading each day, and that cost was added to the camper’s bill at the end of their stay. I understand that many campgrounds do this for monthly campers, and even weekly. I have NEVER seen this at a campground on a daily rate. I have been all over the country, staying at private campgrounds from coast to coast, and this was the only one that I have ever seen that charged for electricity on a daily rental. I brought this to their attention, and their attitude was, “that’s the way we do itâ€.
The actual dollar amount was not great, about $2/night...but that was based upon our usage. We had people traveling with us that used their air conditioner (we did not) and it was about $5/night. They have every right to do this, but it goes against the industry standard that I have seen everywhere else.
So, I am only giving this campground 2 stars because of that. If it weren’t for that, I would give it 4 stars. Take this information and use it how you choose.
We stayed in a 35’ fifth wheel.

For Taos Valley RV Park: Typical “high plains†campground with gravel roads and sites with some concrete paved. However plenty of trees and wild shrubbery and nice Mountain View’s. Had to change from original site...couldn’t get level on it. Bathrooms need more frequent cleaning and supply replenishment... especially the Woman’s. My wife complained of no paper products two days running and no shower heads...just a pipe with gushing water.
Covid has shut down much of New Mexico so we used the time to R&R in the much cooler (by 10 deg) higher altitude.

For Taos Valley RV Park: Stayed there for 7 days and found the area very nice, despite state COVID restrictions. Imagine my surprise to find an electricity connection charge amounting to $7/day. Yep! It was on the web site, but that feels sleazy. Manager was grumpy when we arrived; did not see him again. Park is clean and well maintained. Garbage is picked up regularly.

For Taos Valley RV Park: Solid location in town. Most sites are dirt and rocks. Wasn’t able to get a perfect level. It is very dusty, so be ready to leave your shoes outside and put them in a bag at night. Laundry room only had one working washer.
Area is great. Ski location nearby. Beautiful mountains. Lots of tasty Mexican restaurants.

For Taos Valley RV Park: Stayed for a week in space 80. great views of the sunsets. WiFi was acceptable. Space was easily accessable. Lots to see in the Taos area, but the virus has many shut down.
Loss of one star for the laundry, 4 washers, 3 of them are not workng and the lack of garbage pick-up

For Taos Valley RV Park: Clean, nice staff. Laid out well . My only negative was I got stuck in front and every car coming in made noise due to thick gravel they have laid out. If I was farther back would have rated 5. Also only 3 miles or so to old Taos district. Legal, concrete pads.
