WOW!! What a great place. Perfect place for those that want to either tent camp or use the bunkhouses. All facilities were clean and accommodating. All of the families that attended were impressed and complimentary of the camp. Our Cubscout Pack will go again.
I am a high school baseball coach and have taken my team to stay at Camp Thunderbird the last two years. Both trips have been great. The site managers were both very helpful. The first year we had breakfast as part of our stay, and it was an excellent meal each morning.
First time here in New Mexico and the temperature here in the camp was super good the temperature was I think 77 degrees and everything here is super good like the water in the restrooms cold and fresh the camp cabinet was very spacious.
Camp Thunderbird is a wonderful place , perfect for a Retreat,a wedding, family reunion or any other events.
Very affordable price's.
