Beyond Balloons: What to See When in Albuquerque

Outside of the weeklong balloon festival, Albuquerque is a delightful place to visit anytime of the year as it gets more than 300 days of sunshine. Enjoy the warm weather as you stroll along the narrow streets of the Old Town where century-old adobe houses still stand and eateries serving enchiladas and sopaipilla can be found.

Where to Park Your RV

Albuquerque is a huge city in terms of land area, so it's not surprising to find a handful of RV parks within five to six miles of downtown, with a few Walmart stores located within two to five miles of the campgrounds. If you wish to be close to the highway yet be within 15 miles of the urban core, consider finding a spot for your RV rental in Albuquerque along the north-south corridor of I-25 and the east-west historic Route 66, now under I-40.Stargazers might want to head to the Chaco Historic Park Campgrounds, a designated International Dark Sky Park. Aside from the massive buildings of the ancestral Puebloans, hiking and biking trails beckon those who wish to further explore the backcountry. Park your Albuquerque rental RV at the Gallo Campground for year-round access to (non-potable) water, a dump station, and restrooms with flush toilets.

Adventure, Culture and Heritage in the High Desert

In 1706, the Spanish established a colonial outpost on the banks of the Rio Grande, which today bisects the city from north to south. Follow it for 16 miles along the multi-use Paseo del Bosque Trail to experience the Rio Grande Valley State Park.New Mexico has many national parks, some a few hours' drive from Albuquerque. The closest, at just 7.5 miles northwest of downtown, is the Petroglyph National Monument. It's home to about 24,000 images, like geometrical patterns, human-like faces, and animals, that were carved onto volcanic rocks by ancestral Pueblo peoples and early Spanish settlers 400 to 700 years ago. Some sites, especially the Boca Negra Canyon area, even contain carvings that were dated at 3,000 years old. Access the park from Boca Negra and also Piedras Marcadas Canyon, Rinconada Canyon and the Volcano Day Use trails.Albuquerque is surrounded by ancestral Pueblos that testify to the Native Americans’ engineering and building skills. Drive your Albuquerque camper rental 100 miles north to the Bandelier National Monument, or farther out to Chaco Culture National Historical Park, about 150 miles northwest, to gain insight into how the ancestral Puebloans lived more than a thousand years ago. To witness a living community that has remained culturally intact, take your Albuquerque travel trailer rental to Zuni Indian Reservation, approximately 150 miles west. Observe the rituals carried out from a respectful distance, or get hands-on and browse their trading posts for authentic Zuni and Navajo jewelry, arts and crafts.

Tony was attentive, flexible, and explained everything very well. The camper was perfect, and my dogs loved it too. It was easy to tow, and the kitchenette was well stocked. It worked wonderfully. I would rent this camper again, and Tony is an excellent and responsible owner. Thank you, Tony, for allowing me to enjoy your camper.

T@G - you're it. Enjoy the outdoors in a teardrop adventure ready camper

Robert is now someone I consider a friend. His whole focus was on our enjoyment of the Princess. Definitely would rent the Princess again if the opportunity arose.
