Most urban RV parks are glorified parking lots. The sites in this park are right next to each other, but there are trees and enough space to park and have a picnic table so it's a bit roomier than most.

Yup you read that right. The bathrooms are better than most houses. Thoughtfully done to accommodate campers. The campground is pretty great too. Clean, spacious and friendly staff. Short drive to Carlsbad Caverns. Best in the area.

Arrival - Super easy; the ladies inside were standing by for our arrival.
Tips - Arrive before 6pm, they lock the gate.
Favorites - Staff, upgrades in progress, levelness of sites, new cable TV system, WiFi (2G and 5G), indoor pool for the kiddos, parks near by (Park on the Pecos was great!), the City of Carlsbad, access to the Caverns and Guadalupe NPs. They also employ several discount programs for military, veterans, Good Same etc so, don't forget to ask. Cleanliness of park was very appreciated as well.
Negatives - While the staff is absolutely fantastic, I would like to see them employ and online reservation system, sometimes it's just not feasible to call. Some highway noise but, not too bad.

The grounds were very well maintained and clean. The office staff were very helpful and willing to work with us. It is obvious that they are making improvements and take pride in what they are doing.

Wanted to like this place because the staff was super accomodating and nice and they have some grass sites, but I am not sure how this place gets such good ratings. This place is way overpriced for the amenities which need serious updating.
- You get bamboozled by the clean check-in, store & laundry, and then you see the rest of the place.
- 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- The pool was very outdated & super loud if any kids were in it (it echoes because it is indoors and you can't hold a conversation).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, & good wifi gives 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 and need a night I would not recommend it either because it is so overpriced (there is BLM land all around the caverns for an overnighter).

This park is relatively convenient to what this small town in NM has to offer, and on the side of town towards the Caverns. Our site had some trees to east and west, which helped with the oppressive heat we were working against. Dump station was available to the front right of the office (facing the building). Reservations were made the morning of our arrival, as is our norm for road trips... we never like to box ourselves into travel plans in the face of daily fluidity. Wi-fi was good, with a repeater right behind our trailer. Park was quiet for our night's sleep (discounting our A/C running in nearly continuous mode). Bath/shower facilities were OK, but we did not use them to be able assess their function. As noted in another review, site/park was gravel.

Check-in was great without reservations. I asked for a site with good wifi reception since I had to work. This put me in a new section of the park which was a gravel lot with a picnic table and full hookups, including cable. There is an older section behind the office with mature trees but I am not sure of the hook up access. I was near the highway during the day which was loud with road noise but did not disturb my sleep. Facilities were clean. Laundry was expensive at $3.50 per wash and dry. Outside of main part of town by about a mile or two. site was not exactly level but was close.

RV was here during the big Texas freeze while I was at home but the camp ground never lost electricity. Has a heated indoor pool. The park owner was beyond friendly and helpful. Communication was one of the highest of all the places I’ve stayed. Would highly recommend staying here as I will again.
