Mountain Meadows RV Park is located a few miles off the main road so it is very quiet.
It has country feel with nice views, Very nice hosts, passport america campground.

It is convenient to all Alamogordo attractions, including White Sand national Park.

We would stay here again just for the location - close to Wisconsin Dells.

Good for kids - large open field with soccer nets, outdoor jump pad, open areas for other sports.
Mostly wooded rv sites for those that want to be out of the sun - some sites are in a less wooded area.
Circular wheel layout sections with loop roads provides more site space than new sardine rv parks.
Nice hiking trail (dirt road) that is partly in the woods on the property.
Camping store at office has basic goods.
Downtown Wisconsin Dells is only 6 miles away.
Walmart Supercenter is 8 miles away.
Quiet during the week.
Some seasonal sites have extravagant attractive gardens.
Dump area has plenty of room.

Cons:

Limited % of rv sites rented to tourists - mostly seasonal residents.
Some seasonal sites are run-down with dilapidated trailers.
Noise - very loud on weekend - people playing music outside at high volume.
When the speedway is racing, you can hear the cars.
Sites - some are on uneven ground, some are difficult to back into with big rigs.
some sites share utilities that are not directly on your site.
you may be more than 50 feet from the power pole and need an extension cord.
Our site was 30 amp, could only run one a/c during day.
Sites area assigned before arrival.

This is a nice BLM dispersed camping area close to Salida Colorado.

Pros: Camping sites are spacious, obvious, and are separated by trees.
Salida - Walmart, propane refills, gas, and restaurants are only 10 miles away.
Dozens of sites if you drive all the way up road 250 for several miles.
The campsites with the best views are located beyond and uphill of the first flat camping area.

Cons: The first mile of road 250 after it turns from asphalt to dirt is wash boarded, rutted, has potholes and
rocks sticking out of the ground.
At about 3/4 mile there is a short, steep, bad hill section of the road that many rv's
with low clearance will have trouble with. Get out and scout this hill first.
