Discover Villanueva State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
Villanueva State Park is one of the most remote parks in New Mexico, yet it still manages to see countless visitors every year. The 1,700-acre park is in northeast New Mexico, 70 miles east of Albuquerque, and just 40 miles south of Santa Fe. The proximity to these cities contributes to its popularity, attracting campers looking to get away from the fast pace of modern life. This serene campground sits along the Pecos River, sandwiched between sandstone bluffs rich in history. If you rent an RV in San Miguel County to explore Villanueva State Park, keep in mind that the road to the park is narrow and winding, making it a challenge for larger RV rentals.

The Pecos River also offers other opportunities for water recreation, such as kayaking and rafting, when the river is high enough in the spring.

Bruno was so kind and helpful! He bought a bike rack in advance for our kids’ bikes. Even when we (Bruno and our fam) tried troubleshooting/mounting the two bikes, he helped us attach an extra part so we could make it all work well. Thanks Bruno! The kids loved having their bikes in neighborhoods, state parks, and RV parks. We loved getting to do a family spring break road trip (cat included; not having to board her). Loved the battery system and how long it lasted. The bed was oh so comfy! The kids were getting a little too big for the top bunk, but my hub ended up sleeping there one night - so a 6’ 1” person does fit! I loved having the restroom when stopping on the road. Made life easier! We left our iron skillet in the camper, but Bruno is so kind as to mail it to us (and we pay for shipping.) Thanks again! Despite a couple hiccups as newbie RV folks, we figured it all out and enjoyed learning a new way of travel. We highly recommend!

Our first rental “piglet” died a half an hour into our trip and Merlin saved our trip! Great van for paved roads and boon-docking. It was adorable and so nice that every system worked. It’s a smooth ride and its host was perfect. Thank you! A++ would rent again without hesitation.
