We went to Carlsbad Caverns and Bat Flight Program, Sitting Bull Falls and The Flume during our second visit to this area. The park is in need of some trimming and weed control. Our site is filled with Texas Star Thistle. We had to do yardwork before setting up our pet fence. I mean it is everywhere here. There are dead trees at sites which should be taken down before they fall on someone. The sites are not level. The dump station is closed. They said they are taking bids from local companies and should be up in two weeks but it has been two weeks. We were able to use our blue boy and dump at a vacant host site. The park would be so much nicer if a little care was taken to clean the sites of vegetation. I'm not sure if we would stay here again.

The campground mows and waters the grass. Just used the laundry for the first time and it's super convenient. You can download an app on your phone to see how many washers/dryers are available, pay through the app, and it shows you how much time is left on your laundry after you start it. Only negative to me is lack of lighting at night. Some spots have streetlights but many spots don't so it's hard to see when you're cooking outside after the sun goes down. We have our own wifi so I can't speak for the wifi here. I would definitely recommend this RV park.

During my stay here, the campgrounds water spicket froze and broke and damaged my water hose, causing water to leak onto the ground. They then leave a notice on my door stating that I am required to pay an additional $200 due to a "waste of water". I immediately fixed the issue when it happened, and had to spend hundreds of dollars repairing my own camper/buying new hose/fittings etc and they want me to pay them $200 because there's water on the ground. What's next? Are they going to tell me to pay $200 when it rains and the ground gets wet?
