All-star site

10/10!

So many positive things to say about this site. First of all- Excellent and helpful staff.

Upon entering they have someone on a golf cart escort you to your site and I assume help park if you need it. We needed to change our reservations and they did so without an extra charge (they actually refunded us.) They called us back and we’re excellent with communication. If I remember correctly, you have to call in order to make a reservation, but the process is totally painless.

Great amenities- Site has many excellent amenities including: a heated indoor pool, small camp store, huge laundry facility with a change machine, dvd and book exchange, tire swings, horseshoes, very clean and very updated bathrooms, and WiFi that actually worked well at site. ATT cell phone service, but no Verizon. Cable was also free, but we didn’t use it. Laundry was $3.50 a load which felt a little steep comparatively, but the machines all worked so well and were clearly updated recently.

The site- Our site was excellent and had shade. It looks like they’ve planted lots of trees and that in a few years there will be ample shade everywhere. Having said that—there is a newer part of the park that is all gravel with no trees and no shade. I’ve included both examples in the photos. Each site has a picnic table but you choose what types of hookups you want or need when you reserve. You have the option for full but we chose water and electric. There is also a dump station on site. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND REQUESTING A SHADED SITE WHEN MAKING A RESERVATIONS—but to each their own.

Location- We stayed here to check out Carlsbad Caverns National Park and it was about 30 minutes away and by FAR the nicest option in the surrounding area. The other RV parks were gravel pits on the side of the road some with and some without hookups. No shade on these other options, but I do believe this is the nicest option closest to the caverns. It made going to the cave during the day and the bat flight at night super accessible.

They give you a card to access the pool, laundry, and bathrooms—also the gate to get in and out at night. Don’t forget to return when checking out or you’ll incur a fee. The sites are slightly pricey (in the $40 range) but you get so many perks with this site, it feels totally worth it.

All in all, highly recommend!
