The Aspen campground was very well-maintained. The restrooms were clean. Jim, the friendly camp host visited each day, checked to see if we needed anything, and inspected the restrooms to ensure they were clean and stocked with necessary supplies. The camp site was free of litter and trash. The scenery was awesome! We saw several deer and elk walk through the camp. The nearby village of Cloudcroft,NM has lots of shops and restaurant options, as well as gas station and camp supplies. We definitely enjoyed our stay!
