RV rental Las Cruces, NM: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Hiking in the mountains surrounding Las Cruces is the first activity you should do. Dripping Springs Natural Area, in the Organ Mountains, is an easy hike with history (a sanitarium and more) and great views. There are four trails to hike, volunteer staff can answer questions and help you choose. Book an RV in Las Cruces and park your home on wheels anywhere you like. Tortugas Mountain Recreation Area is more difficult and challenging. “Tortugas” is Spanish for “turtle” which is an omen. Past guests have indicated this can take from two to four hours to complete; rock can be loose in places, so hikers should wear proper shoes. There is no shade along this hike, which winds its way around the mountain in circles, so headgear and water are also necessary. At the top, however, the views of Las Cruces and the surrounding valley are worth the effort. Along the highway, stop your Las Cruces luxury rental RV and take pictures of the Recycled Roadrunner, a locally famous sculpture made from recycled items. It stands with the Organ Mountains behind it, providing epic photos. Previous guests have been amazed over the items used to create it, recycled electronics, old shoes, cooking utensils and more. If you have children with you, make a game of trying to identify recycled items that “haven't” been used to create the work of art. Make sure you get a picture of yourself and your Las Cruces rental camper with the roadrunner to show your friends. Lake Valley Historic Townsite is a ghost town that is easy to explore for people with walking limitations and is full of historically interesting things. It is about an hour north of town and a perfect place to take your Las Cruces motorhome rental. South of town, you can visit the old mining town, Mesilla. There are shops here where you can buy locally made handicrafts and sample authentic Mexican food. Mesilla has a walking tour of its downtown plaza area, which is said to be haunted by the ghosts of miners and historical figures who died there. Mesilla is most famous as the town where Billy the Kid was put on trial; if, on the tour, you hear someone behind you whisper “I'll make you famous”, don't answer.
