Join with your 4CU friends and family for the 2018 4CU NM Thanksgiving Rally, to be held at Caballo Lake State Park in the Group Area at Riverside Campground below the dam. Caballo Lake State Park is near Caballo, NM, located about 15 miles south of Truth or Consequences on I-25. We understand that Thanksgiving is a family holiday, so we are designating the rally as a Buddy Rally: You can invite friends and family with non-Airstream RVs to join us in the fun! And if you can't join us for Thanksgiving Day, you are welcome to join us on Friday for the balance of the weekend!
Riverside Campground Group Area offers a beautiful venue for rallies, with a large open area with a main covered shelter in the center and a number of satellite shelters scattered about. Each satellite shelter has a water spigot to share and individual electrical posts (all with 30 amps, some with 50 amps). The large main shelter has electricity, lighting, picnic tables, charcoal grills, and a group fire pit. Restrooms and showers are nearby.
The Riverside Campground sits on the bank of the Rio Grande just below Caballo Dam, should you want to cast your line! There is access to Caballo Lake above the dam for boating, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. Riverside Campground does not have a dump station, but we will have access to the
dump station in the state park's Palomino Campground above the dam.
