The new owners where above and beyond helpful and accommodating for our RV stay. They had water, sewer and electrical hook up's. Only issue was its not the best stay if you have dogs. The gravel was very tiny and sharp for the older dogs (we live on a farm so they arnt tender footed) and all surrounding fields were unusable for walking the dogs because of the thistles.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Sands Motel in Carrizozo while on vacation in southeastern New Mexico in August 2018. Carrizozo is a really neat little desert town with the Valley of Fires, the Lincoln National Forest, White Oaks ghost town and other beautiful New Mexico scenery nearby. The Sands is a cute little 1950s era mom and pop motel and harkens back to the days of the classic motor court before the ubiquitous chain motel took over the industry. Excellent accommodations will be found here, especially for the budget minded traveler. Our stay here came out to $53 per night, including taxes - and it was well worth it.

There are only a couple of rv site available currently but more are being developed, a little noisy until 10pm with the trains going by. The hotel is currently closed for remodel.

The manager was incredibly welcoming and the place was spotless and really obviously well cared for. Southern hospitality isn't dead, it can be found here at Sands Motel. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone easily.

Me and my husband. And our 2 dogs stayed here in the RV park area for the past 9 weeks and Gwen and Betty are very nice and helpful ladies very pleasant to talk to and do business with. We did enjoy staying here we didn't have any issues at all its nice and quiet usually unless the train is passing through but its was worth staying there. They arent overpriced. The only issue we had was when Gwen left before Betty was running the place they had a Chris Hill working there he was not helpful he was high everytime when I went into the office he made me fill another card out even though we were paid up for the he said he was the new management and he over charged us by 25.00 other people had issues with him over charging them from what I understood he was a nightmare and thank god he got them
