Best Campgrounds near Timberon, NM

BLM land with spots to camp. No amenities. Mostly clean but some trash and glass too. The state park has some nice trails.

This campground is clean and well maintained. The downside is there is no grass. We travel with our dogs, and the gravel is large, and the dogs struggled to find potty spots. Hosts were nice, and the campground was well maintained.

I picked a spot way up at the top - it was very well maintained and clean. I didn’t use the laundry or showers. We used to to access white sands, Carlsbad and Roswell. Ruidoso is an amazing city that we fell in love with. Great places to eat - cafe rio, hall of flame, and Anaheim jacks being three of them. Donna, the manager of the park is very sweet and accommodating. Joe, who does maintenance and shows you to your place is a great guy and makes sure you are settled. The only reason I took off is for the construction noise being at the edge of the park - they are developing something along the back and they worked all week long starting at 6a. It should be done by the time you get there. Maybe call Donna and she will get you a good place - I used Campspot for the booking.

I entered in the first entrance. This was exactly where the directions from The Dyrt took me. Not a lot of spots but no trouble getting a spot. We have a 30ft trailer and there’s lots of space to turn around and set up with the view you want.

After half a week of boondocking we were in need of showers and laundry. This was our first time at a KOA. It was clean, quiet, and extremely convenient to White Sands National Park. The staff were super helpful and friendly. Our kids enjoyed the playground.

Stopped in for one night for a cross country trip.

First KOA experience and it was amazing!

Bathroom ✅ Showers (small stalls) ✅ Laundry ✅ Store on site ✅ Nice privacy walls ✅

It’s very close to white sands main gate. The staff was very friendly and the campground was clean and manacured. The sell propane there and other odd and end things.

BEWARE: March is “Windy season”. We got caught on the first day of it I think! Big gusty winds at night for us. The drive there can get dangerous and could possibly expect a bumpy night in a camper there! Other than that it was a amazing experience!

This is not a concrete snowbird parking lot. It’s a campground with utilities. Comfortable and quiet for a reasonable price. The star gazing is fantastic.

Great views and very accessible. Although, at 1am as I was sleeping in my car, a UTV pulled up behind my vehicle and started flashing their lights. I quickly drove but they followed me down the dirt road. Pulled infront of slammed on their breaks but luckily was able to get around them and make it to the highway.

Great views with easy access for our overnight stop before heading into White Sands NP the next morning. A few other campers out on this cold January evening but it was quiet.

The coordinates are not exact. It's a little west of the air force base. Right next to white sands.

Local to everything in Alamogordo. Propane available, laundry, cabins, hot as hell showers, water pressure is really high at around 155 psi. So definitely bring a regulator. Two KOA cats that are friendly so FYI

Everyone was super nice! Place was well kept and clean. Note: there is lots of railroad train coming by throughout the evening WiFi could be better. White Sands National Park is very close.

Campsites are to close, Camp host DO NOT keep the quite hours. Parties destroy the quite. Parties going until 2AM.
Actually not really sure what the camp host does, they started a leaf blower during morning quit hours ( I could stay home for that). 

Saddle and Apache are nice with campsites further apart....but stay away from silver.
On a good note, if you are in Cloudcroft go to Mad Jacks BBQ.....the Beef Ribs are AWESOME, it is REAL TEXAS bbq.
