The service is horrible. The ranger yelled at us for a dumb rule that we didn’t know they had (parking our truck on the grass). He could’ve came civilized. But came storming in his “little” golf cart, almost very close to hitting our kids that were walking on the pathway of our camp area. He had a very bad attitude and peeled out on his “little” golf cart. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. The people from Cloudcroft seem to have that attitude for tourists, nothing new. Plus they need us (tourists) for their town to thrive… we deserve better treatment.
Beautiful place! Well kept and very serene. However the ranger was very rude. He came to talk to us since it was 30 minutes past quiet time which yes, we were a bit noisy (kids where still up and playing inside the tent) but he screamed at the kids without even giving us a chance to settle them down first. He has no right to do that. I would understand his bad attitude if this was the second or third time coming to quiet us up but this was not the case. This is not the first time he has been rude to us as we have visited in the past.
the camp site is extremely lovely and has nice trails. very calm and peaceful. the restrooms are maintained nicely, and some have sanitizer outside them. (we still bring our own). they have wheelchair accessible sites, and dog friendly. the campsite attendant is nice but can came across a little rude- mainly miss the older gentleman and his wife that were there before. they were very nice and managed the campground differently. we love this campground and will keep coming back.
Spent 2 nights here a couple months ago. Pretty scenery, well-maintained and clean. Lots of deer. Probably only 20% occupied. Unfortunately it poured the rain for those two days so tent camping wasn't ideal. Would go back tho.
The park host was awesome and very helpful. The sites are spaced out well and beautiful. The bathrooms are clean. Can't wait to come back!
