For those that live locally or are in the area for awhile, there are season household tickets that would really save some money and are affordable.

we normally Camp, but on our trip to NM we flew and stayed in a hotel. However, there is a campground in Carlsbad and another called Pecos River. didn't stay at either, but they seem to look ok. as far as just pitching a tent somewhere, I don't know how strict the area is about camping outside a campground. good luck and make sure you visit the caverns.
I believe so. We took the short path as my husband has COPD and cannot walk for long time. That path has some steep, slick areas but good railing and benches along the way.
