Amazing mountain forest campground!

We visited pSleepy Grass in May 2021 and it was an amazing campground fairly close to the town of Cloudcroft, but secluded enough to feel like the middle of an alpine forest. One of the highlights was that we got to see a wild stallion (according to the very friendly campground host) grazing in the campground while we were there. It was chilly and breezy at night with temps dropping into the high 30’s in mid-May (campground elevation is about 9,000ft). There are several pull-through sites spaces fairly far apart along the one main road, we were there mid-week and chose Site 13 which was great.
Very close to great hiking in nearby Cloudcroft and also close enough to do a day trip to White Sands NP down the mountain. Overall a great experience, would highly recommend!

Fantastic

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!

Small and convenient campground

This was a lovely campground near Cloudcroft, NM. It is located in the Lincoln National Forest. We really enjoyed our couple of days at this location. It is near several hiking trails and convenient located close to town in case you needed anything. This campground also has a special trail that was created for blind and deaf children, so it has signs with sensory additions. It was a really sweet spot. The sites themselves were spacious and very reasonably priced. If you want to be further away from people, pick one of the first sites you see, otherwise the sites are clustered in groups. We would definitely go there again.
