Biggest draw is that this place is only about 3-5 miles away from the entrance to White Sands. You can see the lights from the highway, but it is very quiet, especially after dark. Only 4 other campers when we were there and plenty of room to spread out. There are fire rings, but nothing else. Sunset and sunrise over the lake were nice. The smell that others have mentioned was only really apparent after the sun went down and the temperature dropped, it’s just a marshy smell, nothing that terrible, imo.
