RV Rental Fort Union National Monument, NM

Pecos National Historical Park is a nature preserve that protects the history and culture of the area. The preserve contains a mountain passage that has been used for several thousand years, plus the remains of pueblos that housed the civilizations that lived here before the area was settled. The area has been affected through history by three main geological influences: the southern Rocky Mountains; the Great Plains; and the Basin & Range, which contains a part of the Rio Grande River. Head here with the Las Vegas camper rental, and you can go fishing, camping, and hiking, or join in a group guided tour.

Morphy Lake State Park is an hour's drive west of Fort Union. It is a unique preserve for the area, an elevated lake sitting at the perimeter of the Pecos Wilderness. The lake is stocked regularly with rainbow trout, making it an idyllic setting for fishing; it's also the perfect destination to go canoeing or kayaking. You can come here to enjoy primitive camping with Las Vegas RV rentals that are smaller in size.

If you don't mind traveling a little farther, Cibola National Forest is a good day or overnight trip. The park is a combination of forest, mountain ranges, and national grassland; you'll find many trails through the forest. Some of the trails lead to caves or to the mountain peaks, where you can enjoy unrestricted views of the surrounding area. You can hike and observe the plant and wildlife; fishing and hunting are allowed. The park inhabits three states and is open year-round unless inclement weather poses a challenge.

There aren't any facilities for camping at Fort Union National Monument; however, there are several options nearby. One of them is Las Vegas, New Mexico KOA, a cultivated RV campground with a seasonal swimming pool, a snack bar, and bicycles that can be rented on-site. The campground hosts social events on weekend nights, and if you're looking to burn off some calories, there are hiking trails and fishing spots nearby, plus several golf courses where you can play a round or two. Camping with an RV at this or any other campground is your guarantee of a relaxing and stress-free vacation.

E.V. Long Campground is a perfect spot for those who would prefer a more rustic camping experience. The campground and campsites are settled in between a mixed tree stand of pines and conifers, with a running stream nearby. It's a primitive campground, so there aren't any hookups for water or electricity, and there aren't showers or other amenities on hand. There are picnic tables, fire rings, and grills that you can make use of, and if you need to grab more supplies, Las Vegas is only minutes away.

Northern New Mexico is home to some interesting towns, and when you book a travel trailer rental in Mora County, you'll be in proximity to a few of them. Montezuma is an unincorporated community near Las Vegas. It's historically most famous for its hot springs. The community is a short distance from Storie Lake and Storie Lake State Park in case you want to relax and re-energize with a swim or an hour or two of sunbathing. There is still a hot spring within the town limits that is undeveloped and open to the public, and a nearby canyon where you can enjoy a perfect sunset and sunrise.

Villanueva is a small unincorporated community with several worthwhile attractions. The area has a state park with a walking bridge over the Pecos River; it also has a landmark church that has a special type of tapestry surrounding its interior.
