Cloud Climbing Railroad Cabin & RV Park

I am absolutely STUNNED by the positive reviews this place has. It is a DUMP!!! We literally drove into the parking lot. Went into the trailer to use the bathroom... and then headed back to Alamogordo. It was unkept. The landscaping was overgrown. The RV sites are right next to the road. There is no office at the "park". The whole place was totally run down. On our way out of Alamogordo heading to Carlsbad we drove past this place again. I thought maybe I had "mis-remembered"... but, nope. It was still awful. The gravel parking lot we stayed art in Alamogordo was so-o-o-o-o much better. I normally try to only leave good reviews... but I made an exception in this case because the place was so clearly a rundown mess... and the reviews were so misleading. AVOID this place like the plague. There are plenty of places in Alamogordo that will fit your needs MUCH better. Forewarned, is forearmed.

Small campground with full hookups. Would only recommend sites 5-7 for taller RV's (12'+) unless they trim their trees. Spots are very tight but okay for a night or 2. Easy to back in our 30' fifth wheel but there really wasn't any parking for the truck. Luckily, the spot next to us was open so we parked there. While we were setting up our water hookup we discovered their pipe was leaking pretty significantly. We filled out tank and turned off the water. I called the number provided and she said she could try and get someone out in the morning to fix it. I asked if I could get a refund for my second night if she wasn't able to get someone out. She said should would have to talk to the owners but couldn't guarantee it however, she would call me back in the morning with an update. By 10:30am the following day we had not received any update (and still haven't) on if the water would be fixed or if we could get a refund. We decided to leave since we didn't have full hookups that we were suppose to.

Noise is at a 3 star because it is very close to the road. During the day there is traffic but at night it is quiet

Overall, a great little campground! Quiet, friendly, a cool venue area to walk dogs or lounge in. You can have a fire and listen to the elk bugling at night. Wifi is super fast. The less good: It can be a little tight depending on your site. No bathrooms or showers. This place was also overrun with fox tail weeds during the summer, which is dangerous for dogs—we stayed in June and could barely let them out without them being covered, even growing through the gravel paths.

Cloudcroft was an awesome little discovery for us. And Cloud Climbing Railroad Cabin and RV Park was big part of that reason! Not only is the property amazingly beautiful, but the owners are incredibly nice. They let us pick apples from their trees, walked us around the property, told us about the history of the property, etc. This is truly a great spot that I look forward to visiting again soon!

We actually had reservations on the other side of white sands and it would add 2 hours to our trip. Everywhere in the little town was booked but we called here pretty late at night and they had a spot for us. Visited before Christmas and was a good 10 degrees colder but the owner waited up for us, set up lights and helped my husband back in. All hook ups are at the back so keep that in mind for hoses (our heated hose was too short so we just used our fresh water and filled up during the day). The drive is beautiful and so is the resort. The WiFi is the best of anywhere we’ve ever been! Could even stream! There is a super cute shop and restaurant just down the mountain a bit. Loved this place!

This was perfectly located between a cute small town of Cloudcroft (only a five minute drive) and larger city of Alamogordo near White Sands NP (about 30 minutes away). The road traffic can be a little noisy , but we didn’t mind or notice much except during busier hours like 7:30 am - when people were heading into the larger city for work. Sites were full hookup and relatively small- all back-in sites. We reserved last minute and my husband accidentally reserved the wrong nights. They just blocked out the correct nights and did not make us pay for the night we were not there, incredibly friendly. Area felt very safe. Loved the railroad and rustic theme. This place was just great. All pros- no cons from us! And as a bonus- we had AWESOME WiFi from our spot. Everything loaded super fast and no drops or anything. Service was hit or miss though and often dropped my calls.

Absolutely loved this campground. It is small with only 8 site but we loved that coming from a larger campground! Beautiful views and close to both Cloudcroft in the mountains and Alamogordo below. Wifi works great and they provided us with a fire pit too. Our site was a bit unlevel but the owners gave us plenty of wood blocks to help. Definitely plan to com back again, cannot say enough good things about Lincoln Nation Forest with its peacefulness and beauty!
