Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights5 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Riana Campground sits atop a 150-foot bluff overlooking Abiquiu Lake at about 6,400 feet elevation, where the Rio Chama widens into a 5,200-acre reservoir known for some of northern New Mexico's best fishing. The campground's trees pinion pine, juniper, and sage give off that crisp, resinous scent of the high desert but provide only limited shade, so plan for sun and wind exposure.






Length limits vary by campsite.
Limited electric sites.

“Great park. Well spaced RV sites and great walking”
“This is in our top five favorite campgrounds of all time and we’ve been camping for the past 42 years. The setting with the 360° view, the campground hosts Cyndy and Al, and the quiet serene setting of the campground all make it a very appealing place.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (28,967 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
