Called about availability and the lady took my number and told me that she would get back with me. Never received a call back and have since been able to get anyone to answer the phone. Update: We were able to get in contact with the lady and reserve a spot. We’ve been here for about a month now and we absolutely love it. Very family friendly and very clean.

Avoid! Had reservations pre-paid, but had to arrive later in the evening. We called ahead to let them know and see if they could tell us our site number. No response and no call back. When we got there, the office was closed and had no paperwork or indication of our reservation. Calling in again, there was no answer and again, no one calling back. Looking around, there weren't any clear open spots, so we had to go find a different place to stay. I recommend avoiding this place if they can't even manage basics that every other campground and RV park has managed with no issue. Edit: in response to their response. The reservation was not in my name. And we never received a call back or text of any sort. My recommendation to them: spend more time responding to actual customer issues, and less responding to poor reviews.

Was hard to get them to answer the phone. But was friendly and informative. Prices are about the same as everyone else in town. Clean and well taken care of

The staff were friendly when we called and needed a site that night. The grounds were clean and well kept. We took advantage of the showers and let me just say, they were the cleanest campsite showers I have ever come across. The water faucets worked and the hot shower was amazing. This was a great place to find at the last minute!!

Clean, quiet, friendly long term residents. VERY nice bathrooms and showers. Feels very safe, lots of families and kids running around. One of the few places that listed an option for a nightly stay online, many other parks are monthly or weekly only. Just FYI there is an option to check in late after-hours, they do have a payment drop box. Didn't find that online anywhere, and same-day reservations didn't seem to be allowed online.

This is a lovely rv park. It is well kept and the only reason it gets four stars is the road noise, which is not the parks fault. There is ongoing racing in the evening with pick up trucks and cars dragging away from the nearby traffic lights. Ask for a quieter place at the back.

We called on a Saturday early afternoon trying to find a location before we got to Carlsbad. No one answered the phone, we left voice mail, 2 different times. NO replies. This place had been recommended by another rv campground in Carlsbad, so we presumed it was nice. We went ahead and drove there. Found out place was closed for the day, an RV park closed on a Saturday! Called an after hours number, They wanted $61.00 for one night. After being closed and very rough driveway, we said NO and found another place for 1/3 the cost, with very accommodating owner/managers

Let me start by saying that my wife put in a 2 star review and the management alleges that their maintenance person worked on our AC for 5 hours. I can definitely say, that is a total LIE! When I plugged in, my second AC wasn’t working. I spent a good two hours tearing apart our surge protector to fines out that it was THEIR 50 amp breaker that had one defective side. I had to go to Lowe’s to get a multi-meter because the repair guy didn’t have one. So when I figured out what was wrong I went to get the guy and he borrowed my multimeter to replace the breaker. He worked on this maybe 30 minutes max and for them to say he worked on my AC for 5 hours is seriously disingenuous. Now, having said all that, let me provide more insights to this place. We arrived and was assigned site 103. I usually don’t care about backing in but when the manager saw our rig she said the site is only for under 30ft. She was kind of rude about it as if I had booked the wrong site. I told her that I entered the number of feet (36) and the online program gave me that site as an option. She then excused it as it was the online programs fault. To add insult to injury, when I drove to the site there was a permanent cabin installed into it. When I went back, she acted like they were sold out and there were TONS of sites empty. Then she put us in the site with a faulty breaker. I have to say, the shower and laundry site are very nice. Hence 2 stars instead of 1. Aside from the park itself. Plan your trip here, if it’s in July or summer it’s going to be HOT AS HELL and buds will not provide any shade from trees.

The restrooms were VERY CLEAN! The restrooms seemed practically new and very well maintained which is definitely hard to come by in an RV park. The girls in the office were very friendly, helpful, and understanding. Although, it did seem like people lived there, we stayed two nights and were pleased with everything. It was about 20 miles from Carlsbad Caverns, which was very convenient. There was nothing for us to complain about the park, except some dog owners not picking up the dog waste in the grass area near the restrooms. (Thanks girls, from ND)
