I live in New Mexico, and I recommend Oliver Lee State Park. It's on the side of the Sacramento Mountains outside Alamogordo. It has grand, sweeping views of the Tularosa Basin. You can hike in Dog Canyon, walk in the desert, drive about 15 miles to White Sands National Monument. Great campground.
Chama has nice the nice weather of Nothern NM. We have stayed at Rio Chama RV park three times. It is a older park in a really great location along the Chameleon river and the narrow gage steam train tracks. Some sights are a little close for us but others are great. You will need reservations this time of year. It has a lot of retirees who stay the season. It closes around the last of October.
Have a good trip we love NM and have been going in out 98 Bambi for 17 years. We now have a second AS 2012 25 and are planning our next NM trip in July / August.
