Had a 17' travel trailer. Came in via Carrizozo and Nogal. Turning off the road into campground is gravel and a bit rough. Went past Bonito Lake (it was empty). No problems getting around with the rig.

Our site was on the backside on a hill, closer to the bathroom (flush toilet, sinks, no shower). Good shade from pines, onsite grill and picnic table. One deer kept coming up to the site. Might have been fed from previous guest.

An unusual aspect was the parking. It was pull through, but set up for 2 campsites per. Our rig took up about 3/4 of the ramp. Since not too many people were at the campground, it didn't really matter.

Host was friendly, so were the people staying there.

I think it re-opened last year (2021). Obvious signs of previous forest fires. But sites are clean, no huge amounts of debris.
