The National Historic Landmark status is a good step for this piece of our history.. If you are to…read moredrive there and see a group of worn out building and a large parade ground. It has a minimum of maintenance to barely keep it alive. That said, if you can schedule yourself to come on Bayard Days in September you are in for a real treat. The historical society puts on an annual event that really brings all the history to life. They bring n school children by the bus loads and have costumed actors telling about the events of the time when the Fort was in use. I was there for this last year and I believe this recreation of history is a wonderful model that is an example for other historical societies to follow. There is a walking tour with signs about the yard for you to follow anytime. There is a one building museum that is open on Bayard Days. Call the Historical society for details and tours.

A deserted but beautiful place to see some history with a eerily beautiful national cemetery, with…read morerows of headstones. The museum was not open, tho was posted open hours.

I'm glad the Silver City KOA was only about 10% occupied because they have a grand total of TWO…read moretoilets (for men). Waiting is a minor annoyance but if the place had been half full, my gosh! They have three shower stalls, but one closed/out of order, and another with sad trickle of hot water, so essentially one working shower. Again, I was OK with some waiting, but if the place had been half full, I would've never gotten a shower! Note that shower stalls are small enough that taller men will be unable to bend over to wash feet. Note also that all three stalls drain to a single drain, so if or when more than one shower is functional, you may have your neighbor's soapy waste water running under your feet. Feels very unhealthy! I would Have opted for a dip in the swimming pool when the bathroom was occupied and funky, but the pool was closed "indefinitely" (and someone said it has been for quite awhile. KOA might be fine for some folk with self contained mobile home RVs (the primary clientele here) because they don't have to wait for the shower, and have more sound insulation. The noise of generators combined with highway noise makes this a poor choice for tent travelers like me. After a couple of days, I moved to a Motel 6 down the street. For an extra +$11, it was quieter, with AC, a clean bed, and the shower was Taj Mahal by comparison!

Probably the worst KOA we have ever visited. The grounds were basically gravel and stickers and…read morenot well maintained. Basic rules were not enforced. 10pm to 7am quiet time was violated and not enforced nearly every night we were there. From late night arrivals that left their bright lights on all night to the late night arrival that had kids up and loud until after midnight and then the adults stayed awake talking and laughing until well pas 1:00 am. Did not get much sleep those two nights. The icing on the cake was our neighbors Pit Bull. It was tied to one of the patio chairs. When I walked my mini golden doodle past the site, it charged, pulling the chair across about 20 feet of gravel street going straight for my dog. I got between the two and the Pit Bull simply mowed me down(I am 80 years old) and was headed to my dog's throat. Kept the Pit Bull away from my dog but in that effort, my hand was bitten. Finally, my wife got our dog in the trailer and I was left on the ground holding onto the Pit Bull with a bleeding hand. Finally two men from other sites responded to our yell's for help and came down and took control of the Pit and helped me up. Owners were absent, one sleeping and one in the bathroom but finally showed up. Called 911 and sheriff and paramedics showed up. Filed the appropriate reports. When asked for rabies documentation, it was not to be had though they said it was available. Left the next day and finally found out that there would be no rabies vaccine documentation forthcoming. I was back home by then and was directed by my doctor to immediately go to an emergency room and begin the rabies 9 shot two week shot protocol The KOA people, while seemingly nice people, said they had no control over what dogs people brought. All other KOA campsites we visited had dog restrictions, no pit bulls, Dobermans and rottweilers, not this place one. There was no enforcement of the quiet times or limited categories for animals. The did not want to take any accountability or responsibility for what happened other than to say, "I am so sorry". Not sure we will continue to go to KOA campsites. Will certainly make sure they have limitations and enforcement.
