We stayed in the RV area, which has full hookups. There is also a tent only area that RVs can fit in, but without hookups. I’d say the tent area is a lot nicer. The RV area is pretty stark and full of sand spurs. Bathrooms are clean, showers are hot. Lots of amenities in the area. Lake level is LOW. You can’t launch off the ramp. Kayaks can launch, but you gotta drive waaaay down on the sand. Two bars of LTE on Verizon.

We drove past the first sets of group sites with our Jeep and teardrop, and went about a mile or so down the road. There was a large site on the left that we scouted previously that we could get into and turn around easily in. The site had two fire rings, so this site could easily accommodate two vehicles with smaller sized trailers. The road is muddy and a bit rutted, but any high clearance 2wd vehicle can make it. As you go further down the road, the sites are less desirable. The first two sites you see when you drive in off 12 are beautiful, but
too close for comfort, about 6 people would be crammed into one area. When we arrived on a Friday there wasn’t a soul in any of the other sites. We had the place to ourselves. As for the other people who complained about gun shots, this is the perfect place to have some fun with a firearm. It’s really not a big deal. That’s where you should probably go buy a gun and join in the fun.

We normally don’t stay at KOA’s, but passing through Alamogordo we wanted a place that we could catch up on laundry, maintenance and shopping, and this was a great bet. We were very happy here. Park itself is quiet, lots of expected surrounding area noise. Clean facilities and awesome staff make this place a winner.

Don’t trust the website images. This place has had some issues lately due to bad weather, and it looks like a complete mess. We pulled up to our site, no host or anything, the “creek” looks like a man-made aqueduct, and the sites are not level and completely exposed: no privacy at all. The bathrooms were not functioning, and there was no running water. The website made it sound as if there was someone who could provide 50 amp adapters, but not a soul was in sight. There are full timers on the grounds. The website made it look like a beautiful place. Looks horrible, and right off a busy road with no privacy at all. Construction is going on in front of the cabins; which look run down. Will be asking for a refund.

There was no one here except the full time residents in winter. Only one bathroom with HOT shower is available during the winter months. Hosts are very nice. I can see the sites being very tight and close together in peak season. Facilities are clean. Convenient location to Brevard, Gorges State Park, and DuPont. Price is reasonable. They sell firewood at the office, and there is usually someone there. Road noise is pretty loud during the day. Quiets down at night. They have great tent sites right on the river. Very peaceful. Verizon works with voice and SMS, but data is slow despite it showing LTE. Seems it’s faster at night and slow during the day.

The sites are large and can accommodate decent sized rigs, but the road is tight. Anything too big will have a serious issue with navigating the sites. Wouldn’t try to pull anything in here with two axles and would definitely avoid a 5th wheel. Lake is beautiful for kayaking. Hiking trails are in the park. 30 minutes away is shopping and other activities. Not a soul in the campground. Showers are hot and the bathrooms are clean and heated.

Like the other reviews on here, we found this campground to be pristine and clean, mainly because it has recently been renovated. Clean bathrooms, LARGE camping pads, and lots of privacy between sites. The price is a bit steep though. 30 bucks a night plus a 5 dollar a day per person day use fee. That’s basically 40 a day for a couple people. The showers are luke warm and push button style. Should be a little more user friendly for 40 a night. Still a nice park, but should be a little price break for campers.

We stayed here for a few days in the Chippewa Loop. Sites were electric with no water hookups. Very roomy sites. Quiet campground. Only one bath/shower house in the loop. Two toilets in the men’s and one shower with a toilet. DIRTY. This sadly has been our experience with NFS places. They are terrible when it comes to restroom cleaning. That was the only downfall here. All sites have some access to the lake within walking distance. Nice paved trail runs about 3-4 miles along the lake and up to the main road. Great for a nature walk or a quick bike ride. Lake is beautiful.

We love this park. Was very quiet and enjoyable. The facilities are very clean and new, and there are a lot of activities in the area, specifically hiking and mountain biking. Some of the campsites are small, so those with larger campers need to be selective when choosing a site. The sites are set up with a fire ring, picnic bench (below the main level) and the main level is the pad for your rig. We loved it here and are headed back again this October. Can’t wait.

We came here intending to stay a week, but had to leave after 3 days. The chiggers in site 25 were HORRIBLE. They literally were falling from the trees. Wife and dogs got majorly infested. The facilities were clean; it was a shame we had to leave. Limited water spigots made it very difficult to wash dishes and the water was horribly bleached and brown in color. They need to work on the bugs and the water availability and quality, and they’d have a gem of a park here.
Zero Verizon service at our site. Minimal cell connection at the boathouse.
