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.
