Haystack Mountain OHV Area

Whereas there are only a very few prime camping spots - that were full, there was also a nice level and large gravel parking lot that did the trick for a quick overnight. The cell service was the best, most likely because there were several cellular towers looming overhead.

Follow the sign to a dirt road and there are several spots for large travel trailers and smaller spots for people who want to tent camp. Clean, host on site, and prices are posted at the entrance, just grab a slip from the box put your money in and place into the lock box. We stayed over 2 nights over halloween and it was quiet only one other camper there. It cost 5$ a night. Bathrooms were well kept and the roads where too.

Only 4 camp sites but overnight camping in the parking lot is allowed. great views of the sunset but not a dark sky site as Roswell, New Mexico is visible to the southwest. Visited during the middle of the week so we were the only campers at the site. This is an OHV park so probably busy during weekends. The pit toilet was clean.
