Tall Pine Resort

Tall Pine Resort sits on the edge of the Kit Carson National Forest, about a mile toward the Upper Valley from Red River, New Mexico, at 1725 NM-578. The property spans almost 30 acres of river frontage and mountainside, with 23 rustic cabins ranging from single-room units to three-bedroom layouts. Each cabin has a bathroom and kitchen, giving the feel of camping without giving up basic comforts.

At the center of the resort is a private lake stocked weekly with rainbow trout during the season, and the river itself offers additional fishing. Mountain views and trail access come with the setting, making it a fit for groups and families looking to spend days outdoors rather than indoors.

Tall Pine operates as a summer resort, open from May 15 through September 30. The office is staffed from 8am to 5pm, seven days a week, and reservations can be made by phone at (575) 754-2241 or online through ResNexus. The surrounding Kit Carson National Forest adds hiking and backcountry access beyond the resort's own grounds.

Guests have described the fishing as reliable, with some catching their daily limit in both the lake and the stream. The cabins are consistently called rustic but clean, and the staff get mentioned often as accommodating. For exact nightly rates, cabin availability, and minimum stay requirements, contacting the resort directly or checking ResNexus is the way to confirm current details.
