Camp Washington Ranch in the United States

Our stay in this place was primarily for the purpose of exploring Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Advantages of this location include its proximity to the park, complete amenities for RVs, tranquil environment, welcoming personnel, well-maintained surroundings with footpaths, and its acceptance of pets. However, the downsides are its expensive rate considering it's just a gravel space, cramped allotments, and lack of internet access.

The caravan park is compact, and a visitor's trailer obstructed the waste disposal area. During our visit, the spot closest to the waste disposal was occupied by two separate visitors. Both could have parked their trailers in the nearby parking area situated directly behind their vehicles, but it's possible they were unaware they were blocking the waste disposal due to the nearly faded sign pointing to it. The waste disposal area is not conveniently located for any visitor to stay connected while also accessing the electricity at their site. The cost is steep given that it's only a semi-equipped site. We had fantastic views as we were fortunate enough to arrive first and secure the final spot. The site is ideal if you can afford to reserve all three spots. However, this doesn't necessarily guarantee extra space or access to the waste disposal, as the weekend we visited was overbooked and four caravans shared three connections. If we're going to be cramped, I'd rather have a fully equipped site at a more developed caravan park. If we had the site to ourselves, it would have been more than worth it.

This location primarily serves as a venue for events and is privately owned. It offers four 'camping spots' which are essentially small gravel patches with hookups. During our stay, we were the only ones there. Initially, it felt a bit eerie due to the lack of people, but the cleanliness and beauty of the place quickly made up for it. The area is adorned with a pond, trees, and lush greenery. Walking trails are available and the distant mountain views are breathtaking, particularly during sunset. A few areas could use some improvements though. For instance, there's a sign pointing towards the 'front office check-in' which could mislead you into driving down a path not suitable for large vehicles or those towing something, as there's insufficient space to turn around. Furthermore, the office was not open, so there was no one to check in with. Another minor issue was the confusing layout of the camping spots, making it unclear which way to park or how the site is meant to be used. This wasn't a problem for us since we were alone, but it could be for multiple campers. The overall beauty of the place is commendable, with a special shoutout to their gardener!

This charming location features a vibrant spring flowing through it, along with three bodies of water and an abundance of trees and flora and fauna. The personnel are incredibly welcoming. Don't forget to inquire about a military concession. There are three spots that offer hookups. Alternatively, you can opt for dry camping at a reduced rate, which I think is around $20. If you can spare the time, do visit the historical Rattlesnake Spring region. The ranch is steeped in a rich history.

Our feelings about this location are quite ambivalent. The team is aware that the RV spots are not properly arranged and they are working on enhancing them. On the plus side, the area is beautiful, the views are stunning, the staff is amiable, it's peaceful, and the atrium is home to interesting flora. On the downside, the waste disposal area is located within site A, making it difficult or impossible to use unless your vehicle is quite compact. They only provide 30 amps, which is not a big issue, but it's pricey considering there are no full hook-ups or easy access to waste disposal. The three RV spots are essentially a gravel parking space where you are quite close to your neighbors. Also, assistance is only available during weekday business hours, which can be inconvenient if you encounter any issues.
