About 30 mins from the Carlsbad Caverns visitor center, but 15+ of those minutes are driving through the national park so it feels pretty close. The nightly rates for hookup sites are great, especially with the amenities. We loved picking a movie for the night from the free rental DVD rack and they'll pop you popcorn ($5) too!Showers and bathrooms are new and very clean, laundry room is clean and organized. Indoor pool is very old looking but the water seemed clean and was nice for a dip when it was so hot outside.The park is much nicer than it looks from the outside. There are lots of trees and shaded spots on the left side, if you have a larger rig (30'+) you might be on the right side where there isn't much vegetation. There are a bunch of small fully fenced dog parks for pups to wander around at every corner. Very quiet, friendly staff, and felt safe the whole stay.

Such a blessing this park is. Even though it is on a state road going out into the open road.. the traffic noise isn't bad at all. The staff here is wonderful. The laundry room is super clean! The bathrooms are as well!The pool looks nice though I forgot my swim suit and thought 'skinny dipping' would not be welcome ( lol). ! We really loved meeting old friend here (used to live here in Carlsbad) and the vib for having friends to your site was very chill. All sites looked very level too!One draw back... the dumpster was near our site and flys were a bit of a pain.

Wanted to like this place because the staff was super accomodating and nice and they have some grass sites. Am still unsure as to why they get good reviews unless it is from people that do not use the facilities. You get bamboozled by the clean check-in, store & laundry, and then you see the rest of the place.This place is way overpriced for the amenities which need serious updating.- Their"sparkling clean" showers/restrooms were so gross and trough style so you would be showering in someone else's grime even with flip flops.- The cable was spotty and kept going in and out from clear to pixelated most of the time.- Couldn't play horseshoes because they were missing 2 horseshoes.- Couldn't play cornhole because they were missing a beanbag.- The laundry room was super clean, but it was $7 ($3.50 each) to do a load.- The pool was very outdated & super loud if any kids were in it (it echoes because it is indoors and you can't hold a conversation).- The pool is cold even though they say it is heated. It is okay to put your feet and legs in for a quick cool off, but you can't swim in it long. They set it at 80 degrees and there is no sun to counteract the cold because it is indoors. The proper temperature for the elderly and children is from 84 to 94 degrees. 80 Degrees is for competitive swimmers to keep them chilled and stimulated. I wonder if the managers have ever swum in the pool to see how cold it really is. The pool was the only reason we booked this park so we wasted 3 nights here and paid almost $55 a night for a parking spot. The staff, grass sites & the trees give this the extra star otherwise it would be a one-star based on the pool & amenities. Overall, we would not recommend this place if you want to use the facilities. If you are just passing through for a night I would not recommend it either because it is so overpriced (there is BLM land all around the caverns for an overnighter).

We emailed them about a tent site and laughed when they said $35+taxes. We pay less for RV sites here. We then asked about a shower and was told they'd have to charge us for a full site because "sHoWeRs AnD rEsTrOoMs ArE fOr GuEsT oNlY." Places like this that take advantage of tourist should be ashamed of themselves. Jokes on them though as we'll be using the place to shower this fall and, instead of paying a minimal fee, we'll be doing so for free.

This is a really nice campground. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We booked our reservation over the phone and when we arrived realized we didn't need all the amenities we had purchased. The woman very kindly offered us a different spot and gave us the price difference. She also was able to give us our "Good Sam" discount even though we haven't gotten our card in the mail yet. The grounds are well maintained. Everything is very clean. The bathrooms show a little age however they are also very clean and you are given a key card to swipe in and out. We had at least 40 cable channels and the WiFi is outstanding. When we were leaving another staff member stopped and asked how our stay was. I would definitely recommend this park.

We stopped here on our mega road trip and happily made friends with a dear community cat named Amelia. The park itself is relatively basic, but it does have an indoor pool. We didn't get to use it, though, because we arrived in the early evening, and it closes relatively early. So arrive early if you want to take advantage off the amenities. Showers aren't terribly private. Staff seemed a bit put out when we asked for a site with a tree (the park is very flat, and it was very hot, so we were hoping for at least a modicum of shade); we were told they can't promise anything to people over the phone. Mind you, we were literally standing in front of her, as this was an in-person check-in, so we weren't sure how to respond. However, she did ultimately give us a site with a tree, which we appreciated. Short version: Mixed bag. It's a basic, very flat and open RV park with some decent amenities and staff who are relatively friendly but not inclined to respond to requests.

This place is under new management and owners. And they are a$&@0les the laundry is closed at 5pm and expect a big electric bill on the end of your monthly bill. I'm personally not paying 1000 dollars a month for a camper spot I could rent a whole house for that. Wifi is shitty. Good luck if you choose this place

We loved our stay here. Great shady spot, we were able to stay be our travel buddies. The pool was perfect after super hot days and my 7 year old loved this park the most. Excellent off leash dog park, with a hose outside the park. Staff are everywhere so we never struggled to find someone to help. Everyone was so nice! We would absolutely stay here again.
