Rusty's

National forests are wonderful places to camp. The forest service campsites are usually spacious with wonderful natural features all around. They have minimal amenities, water and pit latrines. 

The same can be said about the settings at Arizona and New Mexico State parks. But, they have all more amenities, including hot showers. Sweet!

A couple times we've needed to stay at RV Parks which usually have the rigs lined up close together like in a parking lot. (Well, probably you get two regular parking spaces.)

Rusty's RV Ranch just outside Portal, Arizona was quite different. The RV sites were generous, spaced far apart. And spring had arrived with blooming trees.

The only ranch like thing was open spaces and this horse.

The gathering place also had a $1.00 a load laundromat. 

Here's the view to the Chiricahuas and the entrance at Portal.
