Realize this is four years ago and my first time with Podterfly. For Carlsbad I stayed at the KOA, for Rosewell I found a very small (about 20 campers all gravel $20.00) RV place by the Zoo. Be sure to stop at the visitor center (lots of parking in rear) giveaways and coupons. The UFO museum is a little pricing but worth it, and when I was there the zoo, the three WONDERFUL art museums were free so it off sets the UFO place. Ruidoso hills (mts) were a little scary (first trip and all), plus I got there along with a huge storm. Pull into Walmart spent the night. From there we visited White
Sands (there was RV parking at the White Sands (and for military the AFB as a FAMCamp). Albuquerque I stayed at Kirtland (Nice Famcamp for those who can use it). Hope that helps. I was there is July and as well and your REALLY appreciate the A/C our pods have.
A spot I missed was Malpais-Valley of Fires, Carrizozo, NM. Looked like a nice camp ground and would have stayed had I not had other obligations. BTW Route 54 From White Sands North was mostly flat if I remember correctly, I cam back via 25 which was Nothing but hills. If you do go that way Truth or Consequences, NM is a great place to spot. Wonderful hot springs.
Have a GREAT Trip.
