I was a little skeptical when we first got set up. Carlsbad had just received a major flood when we arrived and the playground was a little muddy, but it didn't take long to dry out. I loved the fact that my child could go and play and I could still see him. He loved the tire swings. They almost need to add another. The breakfast on Sunday was very nice also. I was disappointed that there were not grills at the campsites, but the convenience to everything else was wonderful. We will stay here again when we return to the Caverns.
Out of all of the campsites that we visited and compared, this one tops them all. We stayed on the stream and it was breathtaking. Our son loved playing in the water and playing hide and go seek with our friends kids. It was a perfect set-up for traveling with friends. The grill, fire pits, tables and swings were behind our trailer, so we could enjoy everything together. The playground was missing some swings, but the boys didn't miss them. Yes, there is only one bathroom with a shower and it is clean, but you have full hook-ups if you do not want to wait on someone. The map is deceiving, but once you get there and see everything, who cares! There were portable units across the stream, but we never needed to use them. The parks rv sites were all full when we were there and we never had to wait on the restroom. Buck was very friendly and informative. Buck let me tour the cabins that he rents out and they are very nice. We will definitely be back and will recommend this site to all of our friends. Buck is still working on the place and making improvements daily.
We stayed a week and it was our first trip out in our new trailer. The park is immaculate, beautiful and we loved the visits from the deer. Despite the continuous rain, we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely return to this campground.
