"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."
"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."
$15 - $30 / night
"Very beautiful hidden away RV and Raised Primitive State Park full of marked and unmarked foliage and a nice museum reflecting on the surrounding area of New Mexico."

"Lower Karr Canyon campground is about 6 miles from the main highway at High Rolls, NM. The last 2 miles or so being rather rough dirt."

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.
