Great facility and staff. Late November stay so was the only one there most of the time. The hiking is a must with several options by level. You are here for the view so enjoy it!

Long drive to this campground, but to us, it was worth it--very peaceful and beautiful site. Hope to come back to explore in other seasons too!

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 :)

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.
