Tico Time River Resort RV Park - Aztec, New Mexico

David T.

We stopped and stayed for one night during their off season. Super cool resort, very friendly host, right on the river! We had a nice wide space with room to park our tow vehicle next to our motorhome. We really enjoyed the fire pit and the views. I can't wait to come back in the summertime and use the zip lines and waterslides!

Very poorly maintained park. We had to move 4 times before we found a site that was level and not filled with deep ruts created by other people. Fire pits were full of trash and there was dog poop all over the park and river front. Dogs kept getting goat heads in their feet and there were zero bags or trash cans anywhere.

No one ever spoke to us, or even waved the entire week we were there; even though there was much work being done on some other part of the park and they sped by our trailer multiple times per hour, kicking up dust.

There was also a lot of coming and going well into the night that was highly suspicious. We were there over thanksgiving when nothing was open, yet there were people coming and going all night. Very sus and very annoying.

Overall it seems this is more a concert venue/cash grab than a meaningful addition to the community.

We will never come back, and I’ll be sure to tell all my festival friends that this is a place to miss.

I can't speak to this place as a stand-alone campground, but as a festival venue, it's one of the best I've ever been too.

The river runs right through the middle of the site, with the main stage on one side and a smaller stage on the other, so no matter where you are you're right by the water. The river is clean and you can swim, which is so nice. There are also pools where you can swim and paddleboard. The pools are a little murky but still nice. The venue provides paddle boards and tubes for free, but they were a bit sad so we were glad we brought our own.

The sound equipment at both stages is about as good as you can get, and the sound techs absolutely know what they're doing. There are some shaded spaces, but I do wish there were a bit more, so I recommend bringing your own shade.

They do a beautiful job of creating a flow of the spaces to wander around. There's lots to explore, with earth art, various workshop spaces and lots of room for vendors. There's also a little cafe on site that sells ice and serves a pretty decent latte. There are also several places that have high quality filtered water to fill up your water bottles.

The camping areas are nice as well. The tent camping places are in the trees so there's lots of shade. However the tent camping is across the water from the parking lots, so it is a ways to hike in stuff. The venue did have some vans that helped people haul though. The car camping didn't have trees or shade, but they did have real bathrooms and showers, which was great.

Super friendly staff. Amazing facilities, that are well kept. Super clean private showers, with washers and dryers. Nice bathrooms spread throughout the grounds. Beautiful views of the surrounding cliffs. Super easy river access. Water slides, and kayaks. Crazy affordable rates so that everyone can afford to stay. I will be coming back.

Fun place with lots of things to do. I like the location a lot. River was beautiful and the activity ponds are nice. Having the sewer dump at each site is great. They have a small store and cafe. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because the real fun activities are a little expensive for people that are paying a high price for a “campground”. They need to discount those prices for people that are staying at the campground. If you want to zipline or float down the river it’s going to be really expensive for a family.

What a beautiful location! Was there for Tribal Vision, and this was the perfect place to experience it all.

A minor glitch upon checking in was rectified quickly by a friendly service staff. The little restaurant serves fresh food and GREAT coffee! I had a turkey and cheese wrap on while wheat tortilla that was out of this world.

I stayed in one of their Glamping Tents in the Magic Forest, a big 16x16 unit with a comfy queen bed (ask for extra blankets because it gets cold at night! Convenient, with power and lighting, with showers, sinks (both with great hot water!) and bathrooms with flush toilets nearby. It's not the Hilton, but it's definitely like a luxury Burning Man!

I've seen reviews that complain about the noise, but I was extremely happy with the noise level (stage is a few hundred yards from the Magic Forest with bands that played late), but I never had a problem sleeping. Other complaints her mention that the grounds are rough. That's called Mother Nature. And for the number of people who come through their, it's pretty well tended. But...if you want ALL the amenities, rent a fking hotel!

Bonus is the exquisite New Mexico sky at night, perfect for stargazing and constellation seeking campers. There are a couple of chairs outside the tent, so it's ideal for chilling with your favorite beverage as the sun goes down, or soaking up the noonday sun.

The surrounding area is magnificent, with stunning rock cliffs, majestic river views and magical blue sky and clouds that are this photographer's dream! Hikers will love it! And they're dog-friendly, too.

I'm not a zipliner or paddleboarder, but I met a few families that were using the facilities and having a blast.

A great getaway weekend! I love camping, but the older I get, the more I appreciate enjoying nature without breaking my back! This is just what I needed.

Has potential.Went this last week Aug.11 for 3 nights.Received a special 2 nights get the 3rd free.A little pricey for what we had seen.Received great customer service from the woman who checked us in.We were able to move spots and be away from the very few RVs that were parked in front.The rest in the back lot looked like perm residents or workers.It was a ghost town.The coffee shop was not open.I wouldn't be interested in paying $14 for a cup of lemonade anyway.No one near the slide or zip line.Couldn't use the dog park due to stickers everywhere.Maybe the summer is exciting but off season was sleepy.We enjoyed the north pond and the use of the sup but we took a drive on the last day looking for adventure.We do like mellow but not sure we'd return.It needs a lot of work.Don't get to excited about their 200 foot over look. Over grown with weeds.
