Cedar Cove Rv park

We thought this was a really nice campground. We were in site 32 on Level 1 (there’s a total of 5 levels) where the sites are considered ‘Extra Large Pull Thrus’, and yes, the sites are very spacious (relatively speaking). There were no camper sites behind our row. It’s very quiet, there are mountain views, a doggie corral, pool hall, fitness center, laundry room and clubhouse with a large kitchen for anyone to use. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and accommodating. We were only scheduled to stay a week, but after just a few days we knew we wanted to stay a second week. They were able to maneuver the incoming campers and we got to stay without changing sites!   Every camper is escorted to their site and when campers leave, someone is immediately out there raking the gravel (no grass) to prepare for the next camper. They keep the campground very clean.

We were able to ride our side-by-side right out to the trails that run through the desert. We learned a new word from the signs that said ‘arroyo access’. An arroyo is a steep-sided gully formed by the action of fast flowing water in an arid or semi-arid region, found chiefly in the southwestern US. That’s what many of the trails are. SxS’s are also allowed on the streets of Elephant Butte.

The weather was marvelous! Sunny and warm during the day, but once that sun goes down… uff dah!! My daily attire was shorts, tank top and flip flops during the day, sweatpants, sweatshirt and Ugg boots at sunset.

While we stayed here, we visited River Bend Hot Springs a couple of times, toured the Geronimo Springs Museum, and took a drive to White Sands National Park. You can find out more about that in my blog.
