Best Glamping near Cloudcroft, NM

We love Royce and the Camp @ Cloudcroft. We started out coming here NYE. We stayed in the teardrop camper — so cold outside but the teardrop was warm and cozy. Since then we’ve been back several times! They have new beautifully renovated shower houses. They have a Yurt with all you could ever think of as well as a pop up trailer (amazing king size bed). When you rent these, you basically can come with clothes and food. They think of everything else from utensils, grills, stoves, linens, seasonings ... even a deck of cards! There’s WiFi throughout the campground. They also have RV spaces and tent areas. Super super nice staff (Sissy and her pup Mickey). Can’t recommend this place enough and we can’t wait to get back to our home away from home!!

The Camp@cloudcroft

So much to see in this area. White Sands, Cloudcroft Village, space museums, petroglyphs and the list goes on. Level sites, friendly helpful staff.

We were able to get in last minute for a two night stay.  We stayed in Site 604.  Pull through, level spot.  Very close to neighbor RVs.  But, nice and quiet.  Dogs enjoyed the fenced dog park (although gravel). Full Hookups.

Location great for White Sands National Park, Cloudcroft, NM (Brewery up there at 9000 ft) and Las Cruces, NM.

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 of home. Located about 10 minutes from White Sands this campground is in a great location for a run to the store, a meal at one of the great local restaurants or a trip to some of the other area attractions.

While visiting here I noticed there were plenty of options for RV campers, something lacking at the White Sands itself. But RV camping is not all created equal, and this one by far surpasses other area options. Sites were latge enough even for the largest of rigs but also offered smaller sites for someone traveling a bit lighter like myself.

Tent row seemed to be a very popular options and while the sites here were a bit closer together there was still plenty of room to move around.

The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. The restrooms were private and very well throught creating a feeling of being at home while on the road. There was even a small store located on property with goodies and merchandise to commemorate your trip to the area.

This place really has the family in mind with a pool, playground and game room which will leave a smile on the faces of even the smallest guests.

Tips:

• Go check out the New Mexico Space Museum where you can find the first primate launched into space's memorial, some awesome space rockets and tons of information that will leave your head in space.
• Take a trip out to the White Sands only a short 10 minute drive from camp and spend the day sledding down the cool white dunes.

Beautiful spot! It had a little over 21 sites surrounded by Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir trees. There is lots of wildlife. We saw plenty of deer and even an elk.

Bathrooms were as clean as a campground can get.

Will definitely come again!

Lovely campsites, good tent sites and a few pull thru and back in sites for small Rv’s. Saw several teardrops. No showers but clean pit toilets.

The plot was a nice sized area with electric plug ins available at the campsite and your own fire pit and picnic table. Would camp here again.

Great stay for a quick trip to white sands. The employees were super friendly and helpful. Facilities were clean. Pool and playground were very clean and perfect to cool off in the heat of the Day between trips to the NP. Laundry facilities on sight which was great. Campground was well maintained as usual for a KOA. They also had free sleds to use at WSNP which was an added bonus!

Enjoyed two nights at this KOA. Very friendly staff and great sites. Location appears to be in an urban setting but you don’t get that feeling once onsite.

About 20 minutes to white sands, clean bathrooms, well kept. Maintained a lot of space between campsites during pandemic. 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.

Nice facility and friendly staff. Close to the white sands national park.

They have everything you need in a pit stop camping experience. Clean bathrooms, showers, laundry and more. Very the nice lobby and lounge, very cute campground decor

Great little town. Nice park

Like most KOAs this one is well maintained. Right in town so not scenic but close to shops and restaurants. They have gravel tent sites for $30 which is high for tents but typical for KOA.

I normally don’t stay in improved campgrounds like KOA, but passing through Alamogordo I wanted a stop where we could be in town with internet access and get some maintenance done. The location is perfect, right in town. The park itself is quiet, but there is some train noise and traffic noise from the surrounding area as expected. The grounds are clean and well kept, the bathroom and showers are clean, and the laundry is a nice addition. Staff is impeccably friendly and helpful. Wonderful place; would stay here again.

This campground is very well maintained and convenient location if you are visiting White Sands. However I wasn’t thrilled that it was basically in the middle of town and rather noisy the night I visited. There was also several lights on through the night that shined into my sleeping setup.

We paid extra for a site with swing, paver patio, table and chairs. Site was very large, private, and well worth the extra $. We had a great time, the only reason not 5 stars was overnight/early morning noise. Train tracks not far away and one night I heard it at least 5 different times. 6:45a trash pickup on Tues mornings FYI. Just be aware if you’re a light sleeper. Otherwise, excellent campground and staff. Very clean, very accommodating. Quality water/electrical/sewer hook ups as well.
