Camping at the Laughery Valley Campground
The NMLRA is home to the Laughery Valley Campground with sites that suit any budget and camping style.
Looking for full hookup camping so you don’t need to leave your RV? Our “Frontier Heritage” Area lets you camp with modern comforts with a striking view of the pristine NMLRA Woods.
Wanting to camp out under the stars? Our Primitive campground is acres and acres of shaded campground perfect for unplugging and reconnecting with nature.
We want to inform our valued members and visitors that effective immediately we will charge sales tax separately from the overall prices of camping and other products. While we understand that this may come as an inconvenience to some of you who are used to us covering the sales tax in overall pricing, we want to assure you that this change is necessary to comply with the tax laws in our state. It is essential to be transparent about this change; we hope you understand. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
