Fabulous. Super cozy, has everything you need. Neighbors totally get the chill vibe — no noise, no drama. Really private, clean, well-equipped, and just 20 minutes out on a smooth road to the nearest town. Views are insane. 10/10 would stay again.

This place exceeded my expectations! It was such a neat place to stay, very cut, clean, and had all the amenities we needed. What I loved the most is that the whole building and every room felt like a piece of art. From the wall trims and grout choice to the pieces hanging on the wall. Every single detail seemed carefully curated so that it felt as if I was staying in a work of art. 10/10

Came here after visiting White Sands National Park. Incredible doesn’t describe it enough. 100/10 hands down coolest place we’ve ever stayed. We came with our two kids and pup and stayed in the Crow’s Nest. We played rock checkers, the coolest small playground, the slide off our top deck to the private hang out spot under our treehouse. The sunrise breakfast over the mountains, all amenities needed, so comfortable. The vhs tv was a hit with out kids (we got to show them how rewinding used to be done). I literally cannot say enough great things. So clean so cozy, just perfect!

The tent sites are separate from the rv sites and the creek runs right through them. There is a convenience store walking distance and about 17 minutes to cloudcroft.
