How it all started… our first family road trip
Summer time in 1994, right before entering high school, I was invited to tag along on a road trip through the canyon that completely changed my life. Tia Edna is a traveler and this particular summer she wanted to revisit the beauties in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. At this time, the furthest I’ve been in this country was Las Vegas so I was ready to see what else is out there.

With 200 sites to choose from, this place is lively and amazing. South Carlsbad is a very well run campground with several camp hosts, a camp store, a restaurant with live music, one main paved road where locals and campers walk, ride, run along regularly, this place has all the bells and whistles you would want from a camping experience.
