We are seeing campers arriving and thinking that all campgrounds are first-come, first-served. To help clarify, as of today, May 22nd, these campgrounds: Sleepy Grass, Deerhead, Pines, Silver, Saddle, and Apache offer both reserve camp sites and first-come, first-served camp sites. In order to reserve a campsite you must do that at least 48 hours prior to your arrival. So today's reservation arrivals would have to have been made by Wed, 5/20. Saturday's reservation arrivals would have to have been made by Thursday, 5/21. You can still reserve today for Sunday and beyond.

All of our first-come, first-served sites are filling up rapidly. We still have a few available at: Silver, Saddle and Apache campgrounds.

I thought it might be good to do a quick tutorial "How to make a reservation at recreation.gov". Once you are at the website, search: Cloudcroft campgrounds, NM. Lincoln USFS open 12 campgrounds we currently manage. Find the campground of your choice and select. As a GUEST, You can search availability of sites at that campground by first selecting "Sort SITE NUMBER, Low to High." Then scroll the date and month you wish to camp. Scroll through the sites to see which sites are available "A" to reserve. If a site says "FF" first come, first serve, you cannot reserve that site at all. You must wait until arrival at the campground to hopefully secure. OR, that site is already reserved. YOU MUST CREATE AN ACCOUNT with recreation.gov in order to make reservations.
