Explore the Region
Edgington RV Park is perfectly situated as your base camp for some of the Southwest's most spectacular destinations.
Your Gateway to the
Heart of New Mexico
From the otherworldly white dunes of White Sands to the cool pine forests of the Sacramento Mountains, Alamogordo sits at the crossroads of some of New Mexico's most extraordinary landscapes. Everything is within easy reach of Edgington RV Park.
White Sands National Park
One of America's most breathtaking landscapes — 275 square miles of glistening white gypsum sand dunes. Hike the trails, sled down the dunes, or simply watch the sunset paint the sands in shades of pink and gold. A bucket-list destination unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Arrive early or at sunset for the most magical light. Full moon nights are unforgettable.
Lincoln National Forest
Over 1.1 million acres of stunning mountain terrain encompassing the Sacramento, Guadalupe, and Capitan ranges. Escape the desert heat with cool pine forests, cascading streams, and miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. The Sacramento Mountains rise to over 9,000 feet.
The Cloudcroft area (about 30 min) offers a charming mountain village with shops and restaurants.
New Mexico Museum of Space History
Explore New Mexico's rich history in space exploration at this world-class museum. Home to the International Space Hall of Fame, a stunning IMAX Dome Theater, and artifacts from the dawn of the Space Age. A must-visit for families and history enthusiasts alike.
Check the IMAX schedule in advance — the dome films are spectacular.
Oliver Lee Memorial State Park
A stunning desert canyon park at the base of the Sacramento Mountains. The Dog Canyon Trail winds through dramatic limestone cliffs and offers panoramic views of the Tularosa Basin. Rich in history, the park preserves the homestead of cattle rancher Oliver Lee.
The canyon trail is best hiked in the early morning to avoid afternoon heat.
McGinn's PistachioLand
Home of the World's Largest Pistachio — a 30-foot roadside landmark — and a working pistachio farm. Tour the orchards, sample fresh pistachios and wines, and pick up unique New Mexico gifts. The Heart of the Desert winery on-site produces award-winning wines.
The pistachio ice cream is not to be missed. Open daily year-round.
Alameda Park Zoo
The oldest zoo in the Southwest, established in 1898. This charming, intimate zoo is home to over 300 animals representing 90 species. Set in a beautiful shaded park, it's a wonderful family outing just minutes from Edgington RV Park.
Admission is free — a wonderful value for families. Best visited in the morning.
Valley of Fires Recreation Area
One of the youngest lava flows in the continental United States, this dramatic black lava field stretches for miles across the Tularosa Basin. The Malpais Nature Trail winds through the otherworldly landscape of twisted basalt formations.
The contrast of black lava against the white sand dunes visible in the distance is extraordinary.
Cloudcroft & Sacramento Mountains
A charming mountain village perched at 8,650 feet in the Sacramento Mountains. Cloudcroft offers cool summer temperatures, Victorian-era architecture, boutique shops, excellent dining, and access to world-class hiking and mountain biking trails.
The temperature is often 30°F cooler than Alamogordo — a perfect escape from summer heat.
