We arrived at this location around 6PM, the gift shop is their RV park office. After they close at 7-8pm, you have to check in at the hotel across the street. We travel in a converted cargo van. We do not have all the amenities a travel trailer has so we typically get an RV Site/campsite once every two weeks or so to refill our wat... more

If you want to be close to the park entrance fine...if you value a clean campground, level sites, a little separation from your neighbors, or need to use the shower or toilet (one of each for each gender and not clean) then don't stay here. On the positive side, we arrived at 3:30, unhooked and were able to spend the rest of the af... more

They do not take reservations, but if you are within an hour or so - call them Looking online we found this is the closest to Carlsbad Caverns - and it was. The turn-in to the RV park is on the road to the caverns so it was really convenient to go there. Anyone coming to see Carlsbad Caverns - try to stay here for sure. The spo... more

After boondocking for a week under very windy conditions, having full hookups was a nice break. We only meant to stay a night or two to visit the caverns but wind and soreness made us wait another night. We paid for 50 amp hookups which put us in the upper loop (I think). The bath house was open air with shower curtains in front of ... more

We stayed here two nights while visiting the Cavern in late June. You have to check in at the Gift shop or after 8pm, at the hotel. There are signs telling you where to check in but they are small and hard to see. There are two areas to the park, a 30amp and 50amp section. The 30amp is very tight and I was warned that with slide outs I... more

If your goal is to camp as close to the caverns as possible and amenities aren't a major necessity then this is the place to be. It's the ONLY campsite at the entrance to the national park. We camped on the lower loop and the bathrooms left a lot to be desired. There was only one room that contained your shower, toilet, and sink with b... more

I guess the location is the reason it's so expensive. We paid $36 a night with a Good Sam discount. The best part is that it's 7 miles from the Carlsbad Caverns National Park visitors center. It's 1/4 mile from the entrance. The RV park itself was just okay. The sites were pretty close, but we never had neighbors. Some of the perman... more
