A bit noisy, dusty, but nice enclosed tent spot
Overall a good campsite, some minor drawbacks. Site is close to highway, so lots of road noise throughout the day and night. Contained tent hexagon shelter structure was nice, allowed for contained and divided campsites. Marginal shade and pretty dusty.
Way north of Carlsbad
Long ways from the caverns. Wifi is weak/slow/intermittent.
Nice place
Good shower. WiFi not very Stanley.
