Our Story

Where the Santa Fe Trail
Still Runs Strong

Springer sits at the crossroads of New Mexico's most famous route — the Santa Fe Trail that connected the American frontier to the Southwest in the 1800s. Today, we keep that spirit alive by offering RV travelers a place to rest, refuel, and step back into history.

Our park sits along NM-468, just off the trail itself, with direct access to the Chacon Trail — a reconstructed segment of the original route. Whether you're thru-routing or taking a longer stay, your rig gets full hookups, wide level sites, and a front-row seat to the high desert.
