Taos Monte Bello RV Park

Wonderful mom and pop campground perfectly situated in El Prado on the outskirts of Taos. Stunning and unobstructed views of the Sangre de Cristo and Taos mountains. Minutes from downtown shopping and dining.
Clean and well maintained. Views of some of the most beautiful and dramatic sunsets I have ever seen.

We stayed 7 days. Campground is family run, clean and large spaces. We faced the mountains and had incredible views. The facilities are closed due to COVID. There is also a nice 1 mile path for the dogs. There is road noise but quiet at night. We liked that it is a few miles from downtown.

Very nice park with well spaced out spots. Bathrooms were still closed due to covid. Nice pavilion area in the middle and about 16 or 18 spots so not a huge place which is nice. The best part was the coded gate and their check in policy. No one driving thru that wasn't staying there, no one checking in after 5pm and it's just a added sense of security. Wifi was very good also.. It is by the road but there is a fence and you didn't even know it was there because the campground is so peaceful. We meet the owner upon leaving and what a wonderful gentleman. We can't wait to return.

HORRIBLE! They pack you in like sardines, even though other spaces are open and not reserved. Road noise is significant. Management extremely inflexible. Too many other good RV parks to stay at this one. Stayed one night and moved on, even though a refund wasn’t an option.

Unless you just want to spend your time at their RV Park, I'd skip it. Apparently they don't want vacationers there. You have to arrive before 5pm because the owner likes to see you when giving the gate code. Completely inflexible. I offered to pay up front so I could get the gate code prior to arrival. They won't even offer that.

The Monte Bello RV park was beyond great!!! So perfectly appointed, lovely hosts, gorgeous landscaping at each large site, gated for safety, surrounded by New Mexico beauty. Very clean and quiet and peaceful. The walking/running trail was a definite plus. 100% terrific!!

I really enjoyed this RV park. It was clean and well managed. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. There are beautiful views of mountains in a high desert setting. There is a big field with a walking path circling it. Would definitely stay there on my next visit

The park is very clean, and the owner was very informative about the Taos area. But the RV park is located on the highway, and was noisy with traffic. However, when we originally called to reserve a spot, we were told $41/night. When we arrived there for an 8 night stay, we were informed the $41 didn't cover electricity. What??!!! We have never encountered a separate charge for electricity for a short stay. We ended up paying an additional $26 upon check-out. Also, a worker was spraying something around the campspots that smelled toxic. We told him it was disturbing us, but he just mumbled something

While Monte Bello may seem like a no-frills campground, it is. But the owners and staff go out of their way to ensure that your stay is the best it can be. The location, with its dark skies at night, beautiful 360-degree views and an awesome 1-mile walking loop trail, make this campground well worth the stop! The place is immaculate and, with the plants and flowers along with the spectacular sunsets, this for us is the perfect location to spend our week in the beautiful Taos region of New Mexico!

We had the pleasure of staying here for several nights in early June. A pretty desert park in the middle of sage bushes. Everything was spotless clean and the sites were decorated with local plants. The bathrooms were some of the best we’ve seen. Each bathroom was large, had a bench for your belongings and had a nice teak bench in the shower that made showering so much easier on me. I have some mobility issues so a seat is wonderful. The owners/managers were super nice and helpful. The surrounding scenery was just beautiful. And the location was great for exploring Taos and the surrounding area
