Nice dispersed site near Carlsbad Caverns
This site/sites are along a dirt road just off 62/180 a few miles north of the turn off to Carlsbad Caverns. There are three sites that are reachable with most any car and then a little rough patch after the third site makes it a bit more challenging to get to the rest of the sites (although they are lovely further along the road). See photos for rough road. Could be ok with careful driving and high clearance even if no 4WD but we didn’t try in our Chevy van. We stayed at the second site on the left (not counting the first pull off as you come onto the dirt road. Was a bit unlevel but we made it work with our blocks. Not a ton of privacy and some road noise but not too bothersome to us. There were several others camping here both of the nights we stayed around NYE. Everyone was quiet and respectful. Lovely stay and super convenient to the caves! Around 45 mins to Guadalupe from here.
