Red River, New Mexico, offers the opportunity for skiing, mountain biking and hiking in the surrounding Carson National Forest. The Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges attract outdoor enthusiasts to explore rocky trails, fish an unspoiled stream and sit nestled amongst tall pine trees and bird watch. A vacation destination for all seasons, the area features tubing down the mountains and across the river by boat. Campgrounds offer multiple accommodation choices and organized social activities.
The Red River RV Park features full hook-ups for motor homes, primitive tent or cabin rentals. Located at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains and at the center of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range, outdoor pursuits abound. While biking and hiking are popular guest activities during warm weather months, patrons are within walking distance from snowmobiling and cross-country skiing trails during wintertime. Anglers will rejoice in the availability of an easy catch at the on-site lake stocked with rainbow trout measuring up to 20 inches. Cabins feature a bathroom and kitchenette along with a private porch within casting distance from the lake. As of 2010, the average camping rate was $35 per night. Typical cabin rates were $135 per couple.
