When you’re in Albuquerque, one of the best ways to get around is in an RV rental. An Albuquerque RV rental adds a lot of freedom because both your accommodations and your transport are provided in a single package. Still, not everyone knows about the types of RVs, so here’s a breakdown of the different classes and travel trailers.
Small RVs
With a small RV, you’ll be able to bring as little as two people and as many as six. The types of small RVs include both trailer and motorhome rentals in Albuquerque. Some of the types you’ll find on RVshare are:
Medium RVs
If you're looking for midsized camper rentals in Albuquerque, you’ll have two distinct options that can work for parties from six to eight people. Like small Albuquerque RV rental options, medium RVs come in both trailer and motorhome styles. These include:
Large RVs
Finally, for a more expansive experience where more than eight people will be easily accommodated, you can select a larger RV rental in Albuquerque that will also usually include luxury features. Here are some of your options:
Once you’ve secured your RV, you’ll need a place to park it so that you can have access to electricity and water. Fortunately, there are several great RV campgrounds throughout the Albuquerque area for you to choose from. In fact, many have great amenities like pools and hot tubs that will make you feel like you aren’t roughing it. Balloon View RV Park is considered to be one of the best campgrounds in Albuquerque because of its amenities, and visitors can also get both Wi-Fi and cable when they rent a site here.Â
Carlsbad Caverns National Park is the only national park in New Mexico, just a little more than 300 miles from Albuquerque. This national park is a series of interconnected limestone caverns that was discovered by a teenager back in 1898. These caverns are consistently cool throughout the year, so make sure to bring a light jacket. There are also many hiking trails in the park, ranging from just over 1 mile to over 7 miles.
The Rio Grande Nature Center State Park is in Albuquerque and gives you wildlife viewing opportunities as well as hiking trails that take you down to the Rio Grande.
From time to time, you may need to store your RV for a few days to protect it from the intense Albuquerque sun or from other environmental factors. You’ll find that places like U-Haul can accommodate RVs, and in addition to places like this, the city has a few options that can even accept all types of vehicles ranging from big rigs to pop-up camper rentals in Albuquerque. For example, Paseo Covered RV Storage provides high-quality storage for RVs. Â
When it’s time to dump, Albuquerque has a few good options both at RV campgrounds and at other locations. Albuquerque Auto Truck Plaza and American RV Park of Albuquerque are both within the city limits and provide an easy way to dump gray and black water.
There are plenty of great RV trips to take in Albuquerque, and it’s easy to incorporate these into a July Fourth celebration. Freedom 4th is held at Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque and features concerts, food, and fireworks.
Albuquerque is considered the hot-air ballooning capital of the world thanks to its thermals. If you’re in the area in October, you'll want to check out the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. If you love wildlife, then the ABQ BioPark is a great option. This BioPark is home to an aquarium, a botanical garden, and even a beach.
Old Town Albuquerque features landmarks like the San Felipe de Neri Church and a plethora of shops and galleries. Stop by the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the Turquoise Museum while in Old Town. For something different, check out the creepy crawlies at the American International Rattlesnake Museum.
While Albuquerque doesn't have any teams in the four major sports leagues, the city offers minor league and collegiate sports action. Cheer on the Isotopes, the Triple-A minor league baseball affiliate of the Colorado Rockies. The University of New Mexico Lobos compete in everything from football and basketball to golf and soccer. The Duke City Gladiators are the city's Champions Indoor Football league team. New Mexico United is the men's soccer team that competes in the USL Championship.
