My wife and I are full time RVers traveling in a 36 foot motorhome. We were passing through New Mexico in the fall of 2021 on our way to Yuma, AZ for the winter when I received word that my mother was very ill in Oklahoma. We had just come from Oklahoma in the motorhome and rather than driving it all the way back to eastern Oklahoma, we decided to find an RV park where my wife and our dogs could stay if I needed to go back to Oklahoma. We arrived at Rio Lago on December 8th, 2021. As it turned out, my brother was able to take care of things with Mom's illness, but she got worse in February and I had to fly back to Oklahoma for 6 weeks. My wife and our 2 dogs stayed in the motorhome in Rio Lago RV park. The manager, Gil and his assistant Zach were fantastic. My wife always felt she was safe and secure and when the battery died in her Honda CRV, Gil was happy to give her a jump. The long term tenants in the park are very nice folks and the short term people who come here to enjoy Elephant Butte lake have all been very nice folks, too. The park and the laundry mat are clean and the electrical, water, sewer and wi-fi all work great. We have decided to stay here until we go to Yuma in the fall. There's just no point in traveling around when you are already in a great spot. I highly recommend Rio Lago to anyone who needs an RV spot in Elephant Butte, NM.
