This is a nice quiet and safe RV park about 13 miles south of Silver City New Mexico. The owners Bill and Rosie are very friendly and make every effort to make your stay comfortable.

This is a great place and we highly recommend it!

My parents and I stayed here a couple years ago in February of 2022 and I was just out there this past January to March 2025 with my 3 doggies. Sadly, 1 had passed away in January while staying at Ridge park from old age. The lady who runs the campground (Rosie who is super nice), expressed her condolences for my loss. Campground held several sites for larger rigs, mine being a 42ft had no problem getting in or out of site. They have a nice walking trail, dog run, laundry facility, and shower. It has a very country feel and could hear coyotes at night. Rv park is next to pasture and had a visit from cattle one day. I had a very pleasant stay and would definitely stay there again.

This is such a peaceful campground. The owners are very friendly. Spots are spacious. Campground is kept clean. There are some long term people but they keep their spots clean and all are respectful and quiet. There’s a nice trail next to the campground and the views of the sunrise are out of this world. If I come back to this area, this will definitely be where I stay. I was here for two mo... This is such a peaceful campground. The owners are very friendly. Spots are spacious.

Good peaceful vibes here.

Loved this park, very friendly, clean, quiet. Escorted to our site and checked on us during our visit. It's a small park which is very nice. Convenient and close to Silver City. Nice place to stay and explore the area including Gila National Forest and surrounding attractions. Will definitely stay here again.
