Zero stars, warning, vacation, spoiler, alert!
After having a reservation for over two months for two spots including one for myself and one for my daughter. On my way, I realize that I was going to be 15 to 30 minutes late arriving at the 7:00 PM check in time so I called to see what could be done and was informed nothing could be done, I should’ve left earlier!! I ask there’s got to be a way that I can check in maybe my daughter could check in for me? Nope see you tomorrow, I said, so. What am I to do for tonight? Don’t know I was informed that…I wouldn’t call and ask Walmart to stay open 15 minutes late. Why should I expect them to stay open 15 minutes late just for me. I told him if that’s the way they run their business we would never stay there again! Boom!! Great he said you’re not staying here tonight or this weekend either I have pull your reservation. You are not welcome here! The following day, I went to visit my daughter who was already checked in and staying there…trying to follow the many rules. I parked in front of the office and waited for my son-in-law to come pick me up. The manager ran out to my car. Wanted to know what I wanted? I told him nothing .. I was there to visit my daughter but I wanted him to know that he had ruined my vacation! I didn’t ruin your vacation. He said you should’ve left earlier you ruined your vacation, by not being here on time.
I repeatedly told him I did not want to argue or even talk about it! He then told me to get off his property. I said you can’t make me not visit my daughter and he said yes I can get off my property or I’ll call the police. I said fine call the police! So he did and I was informed that it was his property, and he had every right to ask me to leave. My options were to leave or be arrested for criminal trespass! I know it sounds like I must’ve done something else, but I assure you I did not, after looking at other reviews, I am not the only one to have trouble with this guy! There are bad reviews on him going back five years. Be sure to check out Google reviews and also third-party reviews before attempting to stay here.
We have spent the last eight months traveling across the country staying in every imaginable type of campground. Without hesitation, we would put this one at the very top of the list. We’re social people, so it didn’t take long for us to realize that this is so much more than a beautiful, safe, reasonably priced campground in a great location. The people here are extraordinary.
The summer regulars have been visiting for decades for a reason! The family behind the summer game nights, weekend breakfasts, movie nights, pot lucks, women’s gatherings, corn hole tournaments and more are truly “salt of the earth types.”
They’re highly visible (7 days a week) and go out of their way to make sure that we have everything we need. A clean, beautiful camp spot. Privacy. Community (when we’re in the mood). And fun…with a big dose of laughter.
We’ve stayed here at least a dozen times over the last six years… and it always feels like our home away from home in the pines. Thanks for another great visit Twin Spruce!
An absolute favorite RV park of ours. The location cannot be beat, close to town and close to ski Apache. Plenty of wildlife to see while walking the property. The sites are easy to get into, and amenities are great. The absolute best part is the owners. They are very friendly and welcoming. Twin Spruce is a must if staying Ruidoso.
