Host does a great job and we love the area. Site 14 is a tight fit, especially if you have slides… very narrow and slopes down. Great views in Apache!

Great location. Camp site was full and everyone was great. While the area was full over the weekend we still had our own privacy. Cloudcroft was a short dive away and the Host was great.

Campground is kept up very well. Campground host attentive to campers and friendly. Some campsites are very close to each other which may mean a little less privacy. Vault restrooms are clean. Campground is close to several trails within national forest and a short drive to Cloudcroft , trestle trails and Rim trail. Great place to escape the heat.

Nice place, reservations degrade the situation for 90 percent of the people, charges for dumping are crazy, overall it is the most expensive camping for any forest service area in 4 surrounding states. Animals are abundant and beautiful. Weather is delightful. Consider more 1st come 1st served sites. Reservations are confused, and not flexible or inviting !!!! Many miss out in the confusion of reservations especially the people who have been coming in past years.
