Nice campground, pretty quiet unless you're next to the playground. Facilities are clean, showers were hot, so there is nothing to complain about there. Dump station was not open, must have had an issue.

Campground is not near the water, day use area is only a couple minutes away. Use the map to choose a site where you can see the water, otherwise its a pretty boring area.

A few minutes drive from Carlsbad, maybe 45 minutes to an hour from the caverns and a lot nicer than anything you'll find closer to the park.
