Beautiful in Spring

I thought the wildflowers were the greatest feature, and then we caught sight of an angelic band of pelicans just overhead on a migratory flight - a very moving sight I will never forget.

Decent

You can pay at the courthouse or just see the county commissioner who works at the maintenance shed at the park.

Nice Trails

Dump station OOC until summer '24, but surprisingly pleasant campground otherwise.

Way north of Carlsbad

Long ways from the caverns. Wifi is weak/slow/intermittent.

Great way to visit a winery

Was able to fill up her with fresh water. That and the bath/shower got us through two days here. Good wine, too.

Trumpers

Every picture tells a story, don't it.

Lots of spots

Shouldn't have a problem finding a site here.

Mind bender

No internet or cellphone capability unless you drive back near I-10.

Live Free

13 sites, but so many people find other places to camp here that we did too. The next day, we noticed the rule that said you couldn't.

Great for kids

Playground and room to run. Checkout balls, horseshoes, etc. Swimming pools! Host a giant picnic here if you want.

Experience the power of the ocean

The ground shakes as the waves crash into the sea wall.

Nice country setting

Enough sites and dry camping is an option if full. Clean wash houses.

Not hard to get into

Hilltop. Narrow roads. Overpriced.

Golf and gulfstreams

Fly your private jet here to golf or drive your RV. Golf course is off limits to campers (unless you're a golfer). The coast 4 miles away is amazing.

Convenient

Commissary and PX within walking distance. Plenty of available sites, both h/u and dry.

Fun Drive, Far Out

Just driving here was worth the visit, but get out on the trails to really appreciate the diversity.

Nice Amenities

Laundromat and great bathrooms very convenient for dry campers.

Permaculture on the move

Good, hardworking hosts keep this place running and eco-friendly.

Good travel stop

Did our laundry here, but hours are restricted.

Wide open

Only camper here tonight. Lots of electric sites. Water at wash house.
