Sierra Bonita Cabins and RV Park

Taos

We opted to stay at Sierra Bonita cabins in place of our annual mountain camping trip. We were glad to have a roof over our heads as it rained most of our time there! However, the cabin itself (4B) was in rough shape.  An odd odor greeted us at the door and the floor was slanted all over as if the foundation was shifting underneath. We could tell they had cleaned the bathroom (although it was also in rough condition - cracks in the shower, cobwebs in the corner of the ceilings etc.) and vacuumed the carpet. The queen beds were made up and comfortable to sleep on, but there were dead spiders and cobwebs on the bunk beds and under the single bed. We found those as we put the sheets on. As a family with young children, it was a bit tough to settle in and stay here. I would've been more comfortable if it had been cleaner. We were "glamping", so  we made these accommodations work for us, but we won't stay here again.

Not clean, but kept us dry

We have stayed at Sierra Bonita Cabins & RV Park twice now on our way to Colorado. The last time, we called them to ask if they could accommodate a cargo trailer with motorcycles inside, and they said, “yes, we will make a space for your trailer, no problem”. They did!  Also, we had an issue with a window and should have told them as we found out later someone else had put the window in backwards, so they fixed it. The area is absolutely gorgeous and we definitely would stay here again on our way to Colorado.

Great Place to Stay with Great Staff

We have had our family reunion in this area since 1975.  We have had it here at Sierra since 2010, and they have each been amazing.  We needed a place to crash and host a large party for family and friends.  This has been perfect over the years, and I hope it does not change much.  I remember the road here in the 70's, you could barely make it to Angel Fire then...and right up the road you were essentially in the wilderness.  If you want 5 star, go stay at a hotel in a big city.  For the price, the nostalgia and the good vibe...I will slap a 5* on this and grimace  in hopes the average stays low while my friends at Sierra thrive.  In my heart it is a 10*.

Reunion Stay

I couldn't locate Sierra Bonita to begin with, (turned around when the pavement turned to holes (over the mountaintop approach)). Anyway, they guided me in from the Interstate 25 access.... Even from there, it was a trip! But, it seemed just as much a hassle to, locate-to-write-review, No biggie. 
I was headed back east and had missed the Sierra Bonita on that Colorado-acquisition trip, so I stayed "True Blue", thank you, Rod Stewart, Never a Dull Moment. 
The office had food and the cabins were empty except for my freezing self. Carry-On, itsa party! 
Keep partying, 19 days I'll be in Cape Canaveral. FLA

On an adventure, Cheryl!

Lovely hosts, very accommodating and helpful.  Much better than tent camping, or even RV's in my opinion.   Warm showers, and complete kitchen with table for 4 and lots of chairs.   I cooked a spaghetti dinner and salad and desert.  Beds were comfortable and clean.   Pets were allowed which really helped.  They even had breakfast foods for purchase since I hadn't planned for that. Closest to Coyote Creek state park without staying there.  I enjoyed the mountain views from the porch. 
  I would stay there again.

Rustic, but comfortable

Sierra Bonita Cabins & RV Park offers a variety of choices for lodging; Cabins, RV park with hook-ups and dry camping spots. This is a perfect place for large family reunions or gatherings where not everyone has an RV, those that have an RV and those that want to rough it out in a tent. My family of four (4) camped in our tent trailer at the RV park across the road from the cabins and campsites. There are ten (10) spots with full hook-ups. The park has two water closets (toilets) and two large showering areas that have a sink and mirror in each. The showers were well maintained. They're not spic and span, but remember; you're camping. 
Our extended family stayed in one of the cabins and I was able to see one for myself (4B) to compare the quality of lodging. This particular cabin had two (2) bedrooms, a kitchen, full bath and a living area. They weren't immaculate by any means, but they were great for camping conditions. The cabin was outfitted with kitchen supplies, linens and fresh towels. If you want a maid and a turn-down service, this isn't the place for you because remember; you're camping. It's a great place for the price. If you've been there, you're reading this review and don't see the positive, think about the latter; if you want upgrades and modern, you are going to pay for it. The prices are great for which ever lodging experience you like or can afford. The owners are super sweet and helpful. They have a store at the cabin side of the road that has a ton of items to include; food, emergency RV equipment and parts and a wall of fishing supplies. So- if you forget your bait or hooks, have a mishap with your RV, you don't have to drive to Mora or Las Vegas to get what you need. There is supposed to be Wifi near the store, but I didn't test it out because I was camping. Disconnecting from technology is one of thing things that makes camping the experience it is. The only con I have about this experience is the location of the RV park. It is directly adjacent to the main road which can be rather noisy at night. The first night it was pretty noticeable, but the next night we didn't hear a thing and slept like babies. If you fish, this is a great spot. I would definitely return next season. Thank you to the kind owners and their "Bear Dog" Duke for a pleasant stay!

Exceptional experience for camping

We've stayed here before... and had a terrifically bad experience. We were stunned to find that instead of actually addressing the problems we reported in an honest and fair review, the owners resorted to treating us as if we failed to plan appropriately. That was not the case... 

In fact we had booked a site five months in advance, and had not waited to the last minute - which sadly was what they used as rationale to malign our credibility and refuse to deal with maintenance and noise problems.

We decided to come back and see for ourselves if things had changed, if things were better. For the sake of transparency, we booked under a different name so we would not be recognized. We wanted to see if it would be a uniquely different experience.

It's still expensive to do laundry, it's still cluttered, and the facilities are still substandard.

Sierra, save yourselves the time and instead of trying to discredit us and everyone else who has a complaint, respond appropriately.
