Angel Fire RV Resort

They call the area around here the Enchanted Circle – and it’s likely that after spending a day or few here you may well agree it’s pretty magical.

For starters, the area around Angel Fire RV Resort is stunningly scenic, taking in the peaks of the Southern Rocky Mountains and the lush greenery of the Kit Carson National Forest (a whopping 1.5 million acres of it). In summer guests can fill their days with a whole heap of outdoorsy antics, among them hiking, horseback riding, golf, ziplining and open-air concerts and shows; come the winter it’s all about snow sports – the town’s got more than 80 ski runs and a lit slope for those who don’t want to let darkness stop their skiing.

And then (in any season) it’s back to your smart resort to chill out on your spacious site or spend some time making use of the extensive list of fab facilities. Guests can play traditional games of horseshoes or pickleball, tap balls around on the putting green and bubble in the hot tub, or scoot down to the local country club for tennis, golf, a fitness centre and a swimming pool.

Not just swanky but social too – there’s a year-round programme of activities including wine receptions, walks and games tournaments; more informal hangouts can happen at the clubhouse or round one of the communal fire rings. Furry friends are welcome as well, and provided with a dog park where they can meet canine chums.
