Camping at Hobbs (USA): Frugal or Folly?

It is definitely spartan at that end of town. Hmmm....could a dog have been
there before you?!

Casey used to climb. Which means a portaledge qualifies as luxuriuous
accomodations. ;-)

The cheaper rooms attract an interesting crowd. The HoJo room had a
smell of urine mixed with disinfectant, the pool was an independent
ecosystem, the walls were thin, and the neighbors disposed to be
noisy. Gleaned all of this in several minutes. Inspected the
neighboring motels, but didn't see much improvement, at least
outwardly.

Anyone that thinks the SE side of Hobbs is spartan probably hasn't
stayed at Littlefield! I have stayed several times at the Hobbs
Econolodge and my wife didn't refuse to go back. The Plains Motel at
Littlefield did get a refusal on the second visit! I gave up camping
at contests when my tent blew down at El Mirage in 1981, but if you
want to camp I think Hobbs is a reasonable place for it except for the
few nights with big storms.
