Even if the creek weren't flowing, it's a wonderful campsite with expansive views out over the Tularosa Basin and White Sands. I've never been there when more than a handful of campers and picnickers were there. The Forest Service does charge a fee nowadays, whereas once upon a time it was free. But then there have been many improvements made over the years too.
Tell the friends to not miss visiting the small nearby chapel. And I think the old ranch house is now a tourist attraction also. The Three Rivers Ranch had several notable/notorious owners over the years, including Albert Bacon Fall of Teapot Dome Scandal fame and the Cattle Queen of New Mexico, Susan McSween.
