Thinking of stopping at Carlsbad Caverns after our usual Quartzite/Yuma AZ trip in Jan. Any suggestions on favorite Campgrounds near the entrance ? So far I'm leaning towards Carlsbad RV, reviews seem...

The KOA north of town is probably the best campground but it is 30 to 45 minutes to the caverns depending on traffic thru town.
Coming from that KOA there is a by-pass about 10 miles South of the park that takes you on the West edge of town missing all of that down town area
Yes. I forgot about that bypass. About a mile shorter and way less traffic and lights.
KOA to Caverns is a 45 mile 1 hour drive. We stayed there and I didn't like the distance to the caverns. we would go in the morning to the caves and go back in the evening to see the bats. The first night the bats didn't come out, so we had to do it again the next day. It's a great RV park, but it's just too far away.
