Is there RV or camp sites available at or near Carlsbad NP?

Planning Family trip to Carlsbad Caverns in summer and would like to Camp out, is there any place near the caverns?

Is there RV or camp sites available at or near Carlsbad NP?

There is an RV/Campground just outside of the park at White%26#39;s City. Also a few RV/Campgrounds in and around Carlsbad (KOA I think). In summer it will be VERY hot... tent camping will be uncomfortable. I would think about a motel for a few days......

The KOA in Carlsbad is really nice, they have little cottages they rent ( Kozy Kottages? ) that will sleep about 4-6 people, have a bathroom and shower and will give you more of a ';camping'; feeling than a motel. None were available the last time we went there ( book early ) but the prices are comparable to a motel room.

I would just ditto that Carlsbad is very hot in summer, often 105-plus. The better motel/hotels could probably be counted on two fingers...(check out the TripAdvisor.com hotel ratings for Carlsbad). If below the top two, you might as well consider the Motel 6 on the way out of town to Carlsbad NP. I found it to be as good as most Motel 6%26#39;s...adaquate.

I camped at the KOA in my van, but in October, and it is in good shape.

Of course the positive factor for a summer visit here, is that the caverns themselves stay at a very cool temperature year round. Enjoy your visit, it is something special.

If you want some great pine-forest camping, continue NW to the Cloudcroft area. White Sands National Monument is only 30 miles below, west of Alamogordo. Visit the sands by mid-morning in tne summer, and bring your own water, and dark sunglasses! :-)
