Our stay in this place was primarily for the purpose of exploring Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Advantages of this location include its proximity to the park, complete amenities for RVs, tranquil environment, welcoming personnel, well-maintained surroundings with footpaths, and its acceptance of pets. However, the downsides are its expensive rate considering it's just a gravel space, cramped allotments, and lack of internet access.

The caravan park is compact, and a visitor's trailer obstructed the waste disposal area. During our visit, the spot closest to the waste disposal was occupied by two separate visitors. Both could have parked their trailers in the nearby parking area situated directly behind their vehicles, but it's possible they were unaware they were blocking the waste disposal due to the nearly faded sign pointing to it. The waste disposal area is not conveniently located for any visitor to stay connected while also accessing the electricity at their site. The cost is steep given that it's only a semi-equipped site. We had fantastic views as we were fortunate enough to arrive first and secure the final spot. The site is ideal if you can afford to reserve all three spots. However, this doesn't necessarily guarantee extra space or access to the waste disposal, as the weekend we visited was overbooked and four caravans shared three connections. If we're going to be cramped, I'd rather have a fully equipped site at a more developed caravan park. If we had the site to ourselves, it would have been more than worth it.

This location primarily serves as a venue for events and is privately owned. It offers four 'camping spots' which are essentially small gravel patches with hookups. During our stay, we were the only ones there. Initially, it felt a bit eerie due to the lack of people, but the cleanliness and beauty of the place quickly made up for it. The area is adorned with a pond, trees, and lush greenery. Walking trails are available and the distant mountain views are breathtaking, particularly during sunset. A few areas could use some improvements though. For instance, there's a sign pointing towards the 'front office check-in' which could mislead you into driving down a path not suitable for large vehicles or those towing something, as there's insufficient space to turn around. Furthermore, the office was not open, so there was no one to check in with. Another minor issue was the confusing layout of the camping spots, making it unclear which way to park or how the site is meant to be used. This wasn't a problem for us since we were alone, but it could be for multiple campers. The overall beauty of the place is commendable, with a special shoutout to their gardener!

This charming location features a vibrant spring flowing through it, along with three bodies of water and an abundance of trees and flora and fauna. The personnel are incredibly welcoming. Don't forget to inquire about a military concession. There are three spots that offer hookups. Alternatively, you can opt for dry camping at a reduced rate, which I think is around $20. If you can spare the time, do visit the historical Rattlesnake Spring region. The ranch is steeped in a rich history.

This farmstead is ideally situated midway between the National Parks of Guadalupe and Carlsbad Caverns. It features three adjoining spots. Each spot has 30amp and water facilities only. The first spot, Spot A, is the only one with access to the three waste disposal connections. Spots B and C are positioned at a distance that makes connection impossible and would necessitate coordination with Spot A for waste disposal. Beyond the waste disposal issue, the vistas are breathtaking, serene and noiseless. You're always surrounded by wildlife such as turkeys, deer, and coyotes. The sunsets are absolutely stunning.

Our feelings about this location are quite ambivalent. The team is aware that the RV spots are not properly arranged and they are working on enhancing them. On the plus side, the area is beautiful, the views are stunning, the staff is amiable, it's peaceful, and the atrium is home to interesting flora. On the downside, the waste disposal area is located within site A, making it difficult or impossible to use unless your vehicle is quite compact. They only provide 30 amps, which is not a big issue, but it's pricey considering there are no full hook-ups or easy access to waste disposal. The three RV spots are essentially a gravel parking space where you are quite close to your neighbors. Also, assistance is only available during weekday business hours, which can be inconvenient if you encounter any issues.

We spent 2 nights at washington ranch to visit the NP’s and enjoyed our stay. It was very peaceful, so if you’re looking for a place that is quiet with minimal human interaction, this is for you. (unless they are having an event, that may be a different story) Location has easy access to visit both NP’s. All 3 sites have partial hookups with a dump station located near site A. Recommend checking out nearby Rattlesnake Springs for another beautiful oasis. Park near the gate and walk down the short gravel road to the springs. We stayed at the ranch in late October and the grounds were beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. With that said, the RV space could use some landscape maintenance. There are a lot of prickly thorns around so keep that in mind for kids/dogs and when choosing shoes. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend staying here!

We were a little skeptical while driving up to this place but it was wonderful. They have lakes and trails and it is so peaceful and quiet. The only downside, and we knew this going in, was that they only had 30amp service. We went in late October so it was not a real issue but it would be a problem for a big rig in the hottest times of the year. We only stayed a couple of days as they had a wedding coming in and that is a main source of revenue. We loved it and would absolutely stay again.

We stayed at Camp Washington Ranch an oasis in the high desert on Rattlesnake Springs Road. There is a beautiful view of the mountains from the campsites and beautiful grounds to walk around or sit under the shade of a tree listening to water run from a spring overlooking ponds. It only has three RV sites. It is mostly a wedding venue with beautiful grounds and ponds. Site A has sewer, water and electric. Sites B and C only have water and electric but you can dump before you leave.

The owners are so nice, helped immediately when we accidentally tripped the breaker. Only three sites, picnic tables, space to put out your rug and chairs, so quiet, wild turkeys running around, so so peaceful. Wish we could have stayed longer. I’d definitely come back!

We were looking for a campsite close to Guadalupe + Carlsbad Caverns and came across Camp Washington Ranch on the Airstream Addicts FB page and Campendium. Only to read that they were closed due to CV restrictions. I figured I would still try to call and ask directly and a kind gentleman by the name of Kelly answered the phone and made our day when he said they are just now starting to open up their property to the public. We were thankful to be their 1st guests after quite some time. He made me aware that they only had 3 sites with electric and water and the one to the far left had a hook up for sewer. Camp Washington Ranch, NM is NOW OPEN as of Feb 2, 2022! ( they give you a print out with great history of the land and how they came about) •20 min from Carlsbad Caverns, NM/ Slaughter Cavern (reservation only ranger guided tour 10min away), 25 from Guadalupe National Park 🏞 , TX. 3 Rustic Sites, Verizon cell phone service and peaceful glorious views. No bathhouse (updating soon) but they will be adding and updating their 3 current sites (electric + water and one dump site, this didn’t bother us;) + 3 more in the future. It’s been a marvelous snowy 3 days….

We stayed 3 nights. When we arrived all of the marked sites in the middle were taken. We took one of the last spots along the fence. Easy pull in and very level. The road in could use some smoothing over but really not that bad other than some smallish rocks that made the ride rather bumpy. Take it slow and you’ll be fine. It’s mostly a one lane road but trucks not towing wouldn’t have an issue pulling over. Super quiet, no road noise at all.
