What are the specifics of the park pass? I only find the $225 annual non-resident annual camping permit which reduces your camping fee from $14 to $4. You would have to camp 23 nights to break even.
That's the one we're using. We bought it at the beginning of the month in April of last year and it's good until May 1st of this year. We spent April, May and June exploring Eastern New Mexico-Bottomless Lakes S.P, Santa Rosa S.P, Fort Sumner, Storrie, etc then did a trip back to Maryland July-October. We were back in New Mexico by the middle of October.
We'll probably stick around here another month or two so our cost will be closer to $5.00 a night than $4. I'm sorry, I should have said that. It's still a good deal if you love New Mexico, which we do. We've been to a balloon festival in Roswell, Billy the Kid's grave, the Turquoise Trail, Hatch, hiking, biking, rockhounding-lots of fun stuff. If we do the park pass again some year, we'll probably get N.M fishing licenses,too.
The big draw for me has been the privacy, big sites and beautiful views. I'm not big on private parks and crowds but we haven't done much boondocking yet. This has been a good solution for us-best of both worlds.
I took this shot right outside my door last evening...
