This is a New Mexico state park located 15 miles north of Carlsbad (it is not that bad though because there is a cut-off that allows you to skip the traffic in town when traveling from North to South). We made reservations online so the price was impacted by the $10 (that's right $10!) to make the reservation; anyways it was still cheaper than the Carlsbad locations. A cool side-note about the park is that as you exit onto the highway if you cross straight you can drive 30 miles to Sitting Bull Falls. Overall we are falling in love with state parks. Instead of worrying about cramming as many sites into a location as possible they actually consider views and privacy. Coyotes howling at night and a family of road-runners (meep meep) hanging out in our camp. The spot itself was paved but the pavement is very narrow; just wide enough for your rig. On the depth end we have a 37' fifth wheel and we had to back ALL the way in to fit both the truck and trailer in spot (took some fancy maneuvering with the truck too). Full hook-ups available at the site but they ask that you only drain gray at the dump station. I think they purposefully setup the drain way in back so a standard drain line won't reach; we used the macerator and hose and were careful about the volume dumped at any one time. Silent at night with bright stars and open sky. It feels like you are the only people on earth staying here. Just leave the "Burning Man" at home and enjoy this great location. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park with very nice views of the lake. If you are going to visit Carlsbad Caverns from here, allow extra driving time. Hwy 180 through Carlsbad is being worked on and the traffic is very bad. Take the Relief Route (Happy Valley Road, Hwy 524) around the city instead. Windy! Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautiful views of lake. Good water and electric. Clean dump station. Very nice picnic table with metal shelter. On top of hill so there is wind. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Everything about this place is immaculate. It is well run and well maintained. It has great staff and a cute pet run. There are spotless bathrooms and laundry. BBQ food can be delivered to your RV, it was good too. There is loads of space for your RV. The only slight negative is that it is 18 miles into Carlsbad for restaurants. Apart from that minor detail, this place rates a 10. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great KOA. We had the dinner delivered to the site and it was great. They have two large dog runs with grass, best we've seen in 2 months of traveling. The pool and hot tub were great and these were the cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen. We would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It is a great place for overnight! I have stayed here twice and every time the staff is friendly and everything is clean. It is out in the middle of nowhere, but a great stopping place. I would consider staying here to check out the sights in the area. There were plenty of cotton tails and road runners this time. My aunt actually thought she would be able to feed one of the road runners. We never had one get that close. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Here is a park that tries to cater to nearly everyone. Yes, it is on the desert, and trees and shade are at a premium. Nevertheless, the park offers a rose garden, tent sites, wildlife, an indoor pool, store, game room, party room, a variety of planned activities, a great welcome package and friendly service. The sites are not any closer than others in parks with lots of vegetation, but it might feel like it. The laundry room was spotless. Definitely a good central location for visiting Carlsbad Caverns, Sitting Bull Falls, the Living Zoo or Guadalupe Peak. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy access to Carlsbad Caverns. Level graveled site. Quiet, train noise was not a factor for us. One of two Dog Parks could use improvement. Great $4.00 breakfast available on weekends in activity hall. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was like staying in an ultra-clean resort. They were re-modeling the restrooms and cleaning the pool area. We actually stayed here twice, once on the way to Colorado and once on the way back. Ended up staying a week as it was so much fun. This campground is like a summer resort, something almost every evening: movies, camp fire with smores, Margarita and Salsa night - something going all the time. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Will do this this camp again and again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was a major disappointment. We are in a 45ft coach and had made reservations two weeks in advance. Upon our arrival there were only two open sites. One under a large tree with electric but no sewer; the other in the driveway immediately next to it. The spacing was so tight that we weren't certain we would even fit. With careful maneuvering we managed. Our spot was the one under the tree and less than 75ft from the highway. The traffic was heavy, and we spent a very noisy night. All of the other spots looked as though they were filled by full-time residents. To access the riverwalk you had to take the stairs next to the highway bridge. There was a man and his dog living under the bridge. We had originally planned to stay two nights but left immediately in the morning. We won't go to the Pecos River Park again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good cable & Wi-Fi. Very friendly & helpful owners. Nice place at river walk behind park to walk pets. Mostly long term renters. Call ahead. If you pull a toad, plan on un-hooking to leave park, even with a pull-thru. The biggest down to this otherwise very nice park is the road noise. It starts early, before 5 AM, and it seems every pickup truck in Carlsbad has to have loud tailpipes. Even given that, we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a small RV park located along the Pecos River in the city of Carlsbad. It had a number of long term campers in it during our stay. There are several back-in sites along the river and two level, gravel shaded pull-thru sites for short term stays. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Their convenience store is located adjacent to the park which is handy. The WI-FI signal and cable TV were very good. The only drawback to this park besides the limited number of spaces available for campers is that it is located along a thoroughfare through Carlsbad, and truck and car traffic are heavy 24/7. The road noise is very noticeable and bothersome(at least to us) at the pull-thru sites which are about 150 feet from the road. Noise level would probably be acceptable further into the park. This park is convenient if you are visiting or have business in Carlsbad, but we probably would not stay here again when just visiting the caverns. I would have rated this park higher if road noise had not been so loud. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Well, we read several of the less than flattering prior comments about this park and still decided to give it a try. As I read the prior comments about poor showers, poor toilets, lousy picnic tables, rusted out grills yada, yada, yada... I got to thinking that I'd paid quite a bit of money in purchasing this RV so that I WOULD HAVE a clean toilet, clean shower, tidy kitchen, etc. with me at all times, so.......as long as the park has adequate water, sewer and power hook ups and has reasonable sized and arranged spots, I could care less, quite frankly. We pulled in in the early afternoon, pulled out early next morning, went up the road to see the caverns and went on our merry way later that afternoon. This park served its purpose well for us. Now, if you're the type who is driving a half million dollar MH, pulling a pricey toad and quibbles endlessly over a measly $38, you should stay way away from this place! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park was terrible. Campsites are in very poor condition. The restrooms were filthy and in disrepair. No pool, no cable. The sites with 50amp service did not have a 30 amp plug. DO not waste your money. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground is not much more than a parking spot right at the entrance to Carlsbad NP. That is what makes it worth while. No shade, gravel spots. There are covers over the picnic tables. Racoons are everywhere at night, especially in the garbage. We camped here in a Motorhome.

All full hook up, pull through sites with Cable included. We were not particularly comfortable in the neighborhood. The campsites are right next to a gas station that caters to trucks. Noisy and bright! They also made a point to tell us to keep our dog on a leash, but dogs were running around loose in the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here 3 nights. The entire park was rather shabby and un-kept. Looked like a lot of permanent residents. They caution high water pressure, but when our water would not work, the office sent help. The help was living in the site next to us. He was very nice and helpful, but his area was terrible. When we pulled in to our site, you could not step out of the drivers side without stepping on dog poop. It was all over the place. All around where we had to connect our hookups. Very stinky. The park is very cramped and in a bad neighborhood. However, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The laundry and recreation area was fairly clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We would not recommend this park to anyone. We requested a 30 amp site but they said none was available so they would put us on a 50 amp site. This has happened in the past at other CGs and we were always charged the 30 amp rate and usually offered the loan of a 50 - 30 adapter if we needed one. Windmill insisted on charging the $3 per night premium for the 50 amp site even though we were not using 50 amps and the sites otherwise were identical. As other reviewers have mentioned, it may have been a nice park once but it needs lots of maintenance. A strange feature of the park is that it has no walls or fences and it opens into a rather run down neighborhood of old mobile homes. One morning an 18 wheel tanker drove thru the CG just two sites away from ours. The evening before, two junior-size 4 wheel ATVs driven by children looking to be 10 or under were racing up and down the camp roads and cutting through empty sites. The entrance is gravel/dirt and is so full of holes and bumps we had to carefully thread our way into the park to avoid wrecking something on our trailer. The park has a swimming pool which we looked forward to using after a day on the road in 90+ degree weather. However we were informed that the pool was closed because the water was so "yucky." They advertise WiFi - we were near the rear of the CG and were not able to even see a network let alone connect. All the sites we saw appeared to be the same size pull-thrus. We have a 30ft. travel trailer and we could not park in line with the trailer - the site was too short. On the plus side they do have some nice size shade trees between some of the sites and they are conveniently located for visiting Carlsbad Caverns which is why we stayed there. Ironically, in the material they hand out they encourage campers to submit a review about them to this site - we're sure they didn't have this kind in mind. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
