While we don't usually prefer private parks, our need for proximity to the city for family visits led us to this one. We chose a week-long stay due to the considerable discount offered for this duration. The park featured gravel roads and sites, some of which had trees. The sites were a mix of pull-through and back-in types, closely spaced, each equipped with a picnic table. The park had a scattering of fully-grown trees. As noted by others, there are four areas designated for dogs, but only one is significantly spacious. We didn't use the pool or washrooms/showers, but did utilize the laundry facility, which was spacious and clean, albeit a bit pricey. The distance from the main road ensured minimal noise disturbance. This park served as an excellent base for our visit to Carlsbad Caverns. Additionally, we toured the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park and the Riverwalk Park in Carlsbad, both of which were enjoyable. We had access to Verizon 4G with 2 bars and intermittent park wifi.

Essentially, this place is a vast area for parking with gravel. It appears to be home to many permanent residents. It served as a pleasant rest stop after ascending those hills! It boasted a large laundry facility. However, the rates were steep. Washing and drying a standard load each cost $3.00. I didn't avail of these services, so I can't confirm if $3.00 is sufficient for drying. They have a heated indoor swimming pool that was unfortunately not operational. But let's talk about those showers! They were superior to the one I have in my own home! They were incredibly clean, the water pressure was fantastic, and hot water was available immediately! The shower room was also extremely warm, perhaps excessively so! Our water hose froze overnight, so it's advisable to disconnect it if the temperature is expected to drop. If you're ever in the vicinity, this is the spot to visit! It's conveniently located near Carlsbad Caverns National Park, just a 15-minute drive away. Guadalupe Mountains National Park is also nearby, albeit a slightly longer drive. We would certainly choose to stay here again if we're in the neighborhood! The hosts were also very cordial!

Positive Aspects: The location is simple to locate. There's a secure gate for night-time security. The personnel are extremely welcoming. An indoor swimming pool is available and it's heated. The newly renovated shower/bath facilities are stunning. There's a spacious laundry section, although it's $3.59 per wash. There are four zones where dogs can roam freely, although they're quite compact.Negative Aspects: The place is quite loud due to its proximity to the highway. As a result, we only spent two nights there, instead of the initially planned week, due to the lack of sleep. The WiFi connection was inconsistent, often without any service. Considering the cost, we expected better WiFi and possibly additional facilities.

This location served as an excellent starting point for visits to two national parks and day excursions to Roswell and Lincoln National Forest. (Don't miss out on Sitting Bill Falls) Advantages: - cleanliness - well-kept - hospitable personnel - indoor heated swimming pool - four dog parks - small shop within the premises - proximity to supermarkets and eateries - abundance of activities in the vicinity - full connectivity for 30/50amp - peaceful with minimal road noise (our accommodation was at the rear and we hardly noticed it) - night-time security - laundry facilities Disadvantages: - absence of a playground (although the pool compensates for this) - predominantly a gravel-filled space with minimal greenery, hence not ideal for those seeking scenic views or a camping experience.

This park was quite pleasant! It's an excellent spot to visit the Carlsbad caves and the Guadeloupe peaks! Despite having residents, it didn't feel unsafe and mainly consisted of a gravel area. It's a great option for this region!
