Campground Overview
About SKP Ranch
The SKP Ranch in Lakewood, New Mexico, offers a unique and welcoming camping experience with a strong sense of community, serene desert surroundings, and convenient access to nearby natural attractions. Situated in southeastern New Mexico, it is located between the towns of Artesia and Carlsbad, just 5 miles from Brantley Lake, a popular spot for fishing and kayaking, and about 50 miles from the iconic Carlsbad Caverns National Park.
This Escapees RV Club Co-op park features 118 full-hookup sites with 30- and 50-amp service, spread across spacious lots measuring approximately 50' x 70'. The park is self-contained, meaning visitors must have fully equipped RVs, as there are no separate restroom or shower facilities. Amenities include a clubhouse, laundry, library, billiards, and recreation areas like a pet run, an air rifle range, and a unique 9-hole soccer golf course. The vibrant community organizes frequent potlucks, craft sessions, and social events, making it ideal for long-term stays and full-time RVers seeking a friendly and engaging environment.
The campground sits at the northern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, offering striking views and spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Visitors can explore local birdwatching opportunities or take short trips to Sitting Bull Falls, just 41 miles away. The SKP Ranch's location and amenities make it a great base for day trips, weekend getaways, or extended RV living.
