Discover Carson National Forest RV rentals for memorable road trips

The dry heat and mild winters of the southern United States, and New Mexico, can be an incredibly inviting atmosphere. More specifically, the desert areas leave some to revel at the sandy expanse, while others only see a barren and unbearable terrain. But, Taos, NM, is able to draw interest from those who love the wasteland riddled with cacti and tumbleweeds and those who favor a more sustainable environment.

Getting Outdoors

For those that are a visitor here at Carson National Forest, lace up those boots and set off into the forest. There’s an impressive 330 miles worth of trails, and if you’re knowledgeable enough to weed-whack, there’s even more. Only some of the trails are consistently maintained by volunteers, so be sure to double and triple-check which paths match your hiking ability. Pick up a trail guide at any of the Carson National Forest offices. Mountain biking, 4-wheeling, and horseback riding are also permitted.

Camping at Carson National Forest

Here at Carson National Forest, there are several established campgrounds and some backcountry options. Of their many campsites, only one is truly RV accessible. One is better than none! The Agua Piedra site is tucked away next to the Rio Pueblo and Agua Piedra Creek. Reservations are encouraged, as sites are limited. You can anticipate bathroom and shower facilities as well as water. It’s a peaceful atmosphere away from the ruckus of everyday life.

Exploring the Area

Taos is a self-proclaimed art colony and place of convergence. History, culture, and art play a huge role in this town, making it a prime example of the Southwest experience. There are a handful of landmark sites known to draw crowds and very commonly photographed. Embark on a historic church tour or a self-guided walking tour of Taos. Museums are sprinkled here and there to offer further insight into the vibrant past of the area. Foodies will drool over the exciting, fresh New Mexican cuisine found right in town. When Carson National Forest campers can drag themselves out of the forest, they might have trouble returning with all that Taos has to offer.

We rented Grace for a quick weekend trip to a ranch wedding. The van drives great and has all the amenities, including a comfortable bed (though it’s a bit short for the taller set). Christie was a great host and explained all the details thoroughly. She was also very kind and flexible with our loose timeline. Thanks again Christie!

Grace was an amazing camper van to travel the back roads of the Southwest with. Sturdy and 4-wheel we felt safe and mobile. Christie has outfitted the van with quality pots and pans and thoughtful environmentally responsible products. We love her touch! Grace provided a cozy home away from home!😀
