Sands Motel & RV Park sits along Carrizozo's main corridor, with railroad tracks running close to the southern boundary. Trains pass regularly, with northbound locomotives beginning their horn sequences approximately a mile south of town and continuing through the area. The RV section shows its age according to recent visitors, with commercial trucks frequently using the space alongside overnight guests staying at the adjacent motel.
The facility operates with hookups available, though campers should verify sewer system functionality upon arrival as maintenance issues have been reported. Management receives positive marks for friendliness and helpfulness from guests. For those exploring beyond this roadside stop, places to camp around Carrizozo provide additional options in the region.
