When Scott & Susan Bacher decide to make a big change in their lives they hold nothing back.

Coming from a real estate background, Susan, and an electrical contractor, Scott, owning a campground definitely fits the Bacher's perfectly. "After searching for over a year and a half for that perfect campground, we found it," says Susan, "we packed our belongings and moved to New Mexico to take over the campground."

Operating the campground has been a fun experience and campers will be able to tell by their genuine smiles and great attitudes.

"We were lucky to come into a campground that was already had great amenities," says Susan, "and we are having a great time making new additions to keep our campers excited to return". New additions include upgrades to their camp store, expanded menu to the café and Kamping Lodges.

One area that needed no upgrades was their staff. Customer service is a major priority and it really shows throughout their whole staff.

"Our staff is dedicated to making the campers experience memorable," says Scott, "everyone enjoys the camping lifestyle and works hard to make sure each camper has a great experience here."

Even though they plan on being busy during the busy camping season, in their spare time, Susan and Scott love outdoor activities. Some of their favorites include RVing, camping, boating and reading.

Also before leaving the campground take time to stop and pet our campground dog. Abby, a sweet-natured bull mastiff, loves her customer service job of greeting each camper and making everyone feel welcome.
