Small camping site about 15 minutes east of Cloudcroft. There are three sites you can drive to and several more just a short walk from the parking area. They had tables, fire rings with a grill, and a level area for your tent. There is a garbage can and a composting toilet that was very clean. It was beautiful in the daytime and amazing at night. I went in early October and was the only one there. There is no water or electricity, so bring what you need.
Right off a main road so can be noisy but for a free campsite, can't complain at all! Nice sites with picnic tables & fire rings, not far from the toilet either. We enjoyed our 3-4 night stay here in tents.
This was such a cute little place to camp! No running water or anything but they did have drop toilets. We got to see some owls and a beautiful sky from the sunset. We went in the fall and it was pretty windy, so bring extra jackets!
This was a great overnight campsite that was perfect for my small trailer/tent setup. Awesome and clean bathrooms also. I don't know if it would be great for a multiple day stay but it was great location to break up my multi-day drive.
Nice campground. Good restrooms and good tent spots. Beautiful spot for a campsite. Only downside is that you can hear and see cars drive by at night.
