If you're coming across, hmmm...is it I-40, to Albuqueque? I can't remember. But if you're coming that way, be sure you stop at the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest NPs. They are adjacent and right off the interstate. When you go south at Albuqueque, you'll head right through Roswell. You gotta see the museum, just to say you did!
About 13 miles north of Carlsbad it a great KOA. Just a little further down the road is the Living Desert SP. It's up on top of a small mountain; no camping there but a nice museum and collection of live flora and fauna.
Oh, and another vote for staying for the bats! It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
