Coronado Campground

Northern New Mexico is an amazing destination for a motorhome camping trip filled with fascinating history, stunning landscapes, and endless cultural activities. As the largest city in the state, Albuquerque is a common jumping-off point for such an adventure. Interstate 40 and 25 also meet there and make for easy access to the rest of the state; many of the best attractions are only an hour's drive away.

If you’re looking for a quiet place to camp that is still close to all the amenities of Albuquerque, Coronado Campground is a hard one to beat. Coronado Campground lies about half an hour's drive north of Albuquerque in the suburb of Bernalillo. Sites have water and electrical hookups, and there’s a central dump station where you can empty the tanks on your RV rental, and there are shower facilities too. For recreation, there’s a volleyball court, a few short hiking trails, and access to the adjacent river. If you’re hoping to hit the links when you camp in an RV near Bernalillo, there’s a golf course just outside the RV campground.

However, the reason most visitors choose a campsite at Coronado Campground is to be close to the Coronado State Monument. The site contains the ruins of the Kuaua Pueblo that dates back to the 1300s. There’s a small museum that displays artifacts found during the village's excavation, along with guided tours of the ruins.

Santa Ana Pueblo is also not far from the campground; here you'll find a 27-hole golf course, a Vegas-style casino, a restaurant, and traditional corn milling facilities. If you’re looking for fun resort activities, it’s well worth visiting this entertainment hub when you get an RV rental near Coronado Campground.
