Parks near Tombstone and The Carlsbad Caverns?

[berginaperzina]

Can anyone recommend some nice full hookup parks in Tombstone and The Carlsbad Cavern areas? We are thinking of taking a trip there and we just wondered if anyone had stayed at places they really liked?

Thanks

We stayed at White's City Resort near Carlsbad in the spring of 2008. Rates were $20 for 50 amp, water and sewer. During the night our water went off because a sprinkler head broke and we had a fountain for entertainment until it was capped. They had it repaired in short order and our site remained dry. Other than that, the park was pretty bare bones. If you are looking for a family campground with a pool and playground, this isn't the place. The whole White City area is a dieing enterprise. There was one nice restaurant there and we had a nice meal with adult beverages. The campground was quiet and convenient for access to the park. I believe we were less than a mile from the entrance to the park.

I spend four months in the Carlsbad area last year. There is a nice KOA in Carlsbad, but it’s expensive. Brantley Lake State Park is nice. It has 50A service and water, but only a dump station. Both are about half hours drive to the Caverns. There is parking for all size RVs at the Caverns. It is the big attraction, but there is a lot more to do and see in the Carlsbad area. Ask the campground people for that info when you get there.
