Default Camping at Hobbs?

There doesn't seem to be much at the moment on the SSA contest page for the 15m Nats at Hobbs; can someone point me at accommodation/camping info for this site?

TIA,

Frank (TA)

There is (or used to be) a small RV parking area - about twenty spaces, as I recall, just on the east side of the runway. At larger contests, others have camped on the grass there too. No idea who is in charge of it, though.. I am sure they will post here, though.

Frank,
There is a state park campground right next door to the SSA's HQ and the Hobbs Industrial Airpark called the Harry McAdams Campground. They have 20 sites and their phone number is 575) 392-5845. I have always thought it was a very nice campground with nice facilities...If you have questions, do not hesitate to call the SSA HQ as they can (I'm sure) give you more information.
Thanks - Renny

We are working on getting the web site up with updated info. Sorry for the delay.
