Alamo Road Dispersed

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Alamo Road provides access to multiple dispersed camping spots on Bureau of Land Management land outside Roswell. Campers can pull directly off the main road for immediate access, though the road sees regular traffic throughout the day. Secondary roads branch off from Alamo Road, leading to more secluded sites away from vehicle noise, but these require navigating bumpy conditions and small ditches that may challenge larger RVs.

The area shows signs of heavy recreational use, with spent shell casings and scattered trash at many sites from target shooting activities. Some locations require cleanup before setting up camp. Roswell for free camping near Roswell offers supply access within 20 minutes, including major retailers and sporting goods stores. The dispersed sites work best for self-contained campers comfortable with variable road conditions and willing to pack out additional debris.

Campers regularly cited spacious sites suitable for RVs and convenient access to Roswell supplies. However, multiple reviews noted concerns about road conditions and significant litter from target shooting activities throughout the area.

A fair spot out of Roswell

It is windy and dusty do to cars and trucks racing up the dirt road. So park away from the road is your best bet. Not to crowded

Couple of choices for our 43' RV

We stayed for 5 nights--there's a spot immediately to the left off of Alamo road. We pulled in during a freak snow 😳, so went exploring in the truck the next day. That immediate spot was easy to pull into with plenty of space --didn't unhook the road. But --Alamo Road is pretty busy, so we then moved to a spot off the main road --we turned down the 2nd road to the left (toward a natural gas pump?) and enjoyed a huge spot there. The roads weren't suitable for our RV after that (bumpy) and with small ditches on each side to get through to get to sites, we couldn't make those but other campers did & were out camping. The roads need graded but...BLM land and gov cuts. 🤷🏻‍♀️ As another reviewer said, it's sad that in some places there's a ton of garbage--too much for one person to pick up. It seems that people use it for a city dump out where they target shoot. Our campsite had some trash but wasn't terrible, and we left no trace & cleaned up what had been left there. Plenty of places to drive our utv to explore a bit even though the Polaris app shows no trails in the area.

Beautiful views but garbage everywhere

I spent 2 nights here and while the sunsets are something to write home about, I clearly stayed in a place where locals use it as target practice. Shelf casings and garbage abound. I don't carry big trash bags with me but I picked up what I could. I would not discourage people from staying here. If I ever come back to the area, I will probably stay here again....I will just bring a bunch of trash bags with me.

Easy access spot

The road is much less worn than we're used to. Not too many campsites but could easily park a camper. Roswell, with many supply chains within 20 minutes including big R, Tractor supply, Walmart and various sporting goods stores. Not a bad spot to crash heading to the next one. Alamo road does wind on a quite a bit further than we traveled down it, so there may be even better options.
