"In direct contrast to the White Sands backcountry camping which offers absolutely zero thrills and access to luxuries, the White Sand KOA is a great place to stay for those wanting some of the comforts"
"However there is a train close by that blew the horn very loud all throughout the night. Woke me up at 1am, 3am, and 5:30 am."
"You can get as far away from main roads as you need. There are infinite spots on this road. It’s quite long and the road conditions aren’t all that bad, so anyone can access it."
"Sleeping surrounded by the trees was awesome. It was so calm. Not a lot of cars drive through the road right beside it, so it’s pretty quiet."
$18 / night
"Now there are upwards of 10 campsites situated for RV’s or tents."
"Has one handicap accessible & next to bathroom)."
"It is north of the busiest part of town, so it is fairly quiet, even though you are right next to the highway. It definitely served our needs."
"I paid $35 night electric only then had to pay $5 water in my tank .only was a bit noisy next to the hiway and needs a little lightning around very dark . 2 dog areas was good location"
$15 - $30 / night

Oliver Lee is an amazing place to stay in southern New Mexico."

"I think the ease of picking a spot that worked for our situation, the clean park and bathrooms and friendly staff and neighbors made it surprisingly one of the best RV experiences we’ve had."
"So close to everything, super clean PRIVATE bathrooms and the management is amazing and super attentive!"
"Not bad for the middle of New Mexico, between two mountain ranges.
However, camping nearby leaves something to be desired, even in the RV parks – which is never our thing."
"Stunning sunsets over the Lake. Even with a lot of rigs, I was able to find my own spot several feet away from others ( although you will be in sight of other rigs) border patrol surveys the area."
"Good little spot away from traffic. Had some snow coverage in February that made everything look beautiful. Definitely a good stop!"
"You can get as far away from main roads as you need. There are infinite spots on this road. It’s quite long and the road conditions aren’t all that bad, so anyone can access it."
"The site was right off the highway so easy to get to and the site level. There was a lot of noise from traffic on the highway."
GuideThis amazing camping spot near cloudcroft nm is a perfect place to stop by and see the beautiful woods and mountains of Lincoln mountains.
ScoutWe arrived at about 7:30 pm so all of the lower spots were taken. We followed the road all the way to the gated closure. There was someone already there in a nice spot, so we turned around (we were able to do this in our 20 ft class c rv, but it might be tight if you’re in something larger) and drove back down a bit, then parked right off the road. Even though we didn’t get an actual campsite, it was ok because all we needed was somewhere to sleep for the night. The road is rocky and narrow, but we were able to make it in a 2 wheel drive vehicle with pretty low clearance.
GuideGood level one spot of two total drive-in. Also had parking lot a car parked all night (they may have tented). Very easy access and directly off the road.
Small amount of trash I cleaned up. Some ants but not terrible. Found elk bones (we think).
Surrounding area was up to 110 and was 85 when we pulled in here and thankfully down to 55 at night.
TravelerGood service, lots of spots, close enough to the highway that you’re not going out of your way, but far enough from the highway that you don’t hear/see it. Beautiful lake sunsets.
GuideJust make sure you see the forecast, if it's windy it might turn into a dust storm.
Another than that it was gorgeous
TravelerThe best qualities of the campground: -awesome views -hookups -grill area and games + sleds to borrow -laundry -close to Lincoln National Forest and white sands and pistachioland!
Things that could maybe be a little better: -more shade on campsite (ours had a very tiny tree) -more privacy between sites
GuideThis place was a good overnight stay with all the amenities one could want. 12
ScoutNice campground, heavily wooded, paved parking. Very clean. The price has gone up, $32 per night. The Check Availability button said it was full but I was the sole camper on a Monday. It's right off the road so lots of traffic noise in the daytime, very quiet at night. Also lots of jet noise due to the AFB in Alamagordo. The solar telescope nearby is worth a vist and the drive is beautiful.
ScoutGreat spot, great views. Be careful tent camping very exposed to wind all directions.
