Angel Fire RV Resort, Angel Fire, New Mexico 
Rally Dates: Thursday 12 June – Monday 16 June 2025

Registration Opens Here: Saturday, 15 February 2024, 8am-ish

Let’s get together over Father’s Day weekend in beautiful northern New Mexico! The Angel Fire RV Resort is a beautiful campground with many amenities such as concrete RV pads, full hook-up sites, waffles brought to your rig for breakfast, two pickleball courts, horseshoes, and a nice dog park… just to name a few!

Additionally, during our rally, the village of Angel Fire has a hot air balloon festival, a craft fair, and Mimosas on Main Street. The Farmer’s and Artisan’s Market begins its season on Sunday morning.

You can:

  • Ride the ski lift to the top of Agua Fria Peak where there is a great view and restaurant as well as an 18-hole disc golf course and mountain biking down (or just ride the lift back down!), (Ed note: Angel Fire / Taos area is home to some legendary riding opportunities and I’m dead jealous we can’t attend!)
  • Explore hiking trails and fishing opportunities in the neighbourhood,
  • Visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that is near the campground,
  • Take a day-trip drive around the northern New Mexico Enchanted Circle, or
  • Drive to Cimarron to visit the historic (and haunted) St. James Hotel with bullet holes in the tin ceiling in the bar from the wild west days.

While the finer details remain to be confirmed, here’s our current agenda!
