Super quiet and peaceful, great to see the big tooth maples away from the crowds! When hiking we felt like we were the only people in the whole park.

Arrived in cold conditions. Be prepared for a remote location with quiet conditions and the very best night sky. Good hiking to be had.

The RV sites (only 4) are packed in like Sardines. There is plenty of space and after a 2 hour drive off the main road to get to this VERY VERY remote site it is shame to have so few sites, and to have them so close together (like a paved RV site)... It was very disappointing. No privacy, No trees, Poor use of space.
On the flip. It is surprising and pleasing to have running water and electric heat in the bathrooms. This was a blessing during the cold.

Very nice, clean and well-maintained campground. But please, keep in mind that it is 2+ hours drive from the "main" part of Guadalupe Mountains park. Another alternative would be 7hrs hiking trail :)
