BLM Dispersed camping along B059 New Mexico

Pretty good about 4 spots to pull off maybe more if you have a higher clearance vehicle and can make it back in farther my Camry couldn’t lol but still a nice place to stay a couple days good view of the mountains and the sunsets!

Lots of side by sides rip ridin around

So the road in is at the 151 Mesquite Exit off IH 10. First 2 miles were blacktop, then 2 miles of 2.5 vehicle wide gravel road then 2 miles of single vehicle gravel road. Several turnouts for camp sites with many having rock fire rings.

Lots of dove and some quail. 

A few cows in the area.

Lots to see if you get out and walk the area. Several hiking trails into the Mountain range.

Light noise to the south from El Paso/IH 10 to the West but not much to the East looking into the canyon or North. Saw many stars and satellites.

Would stay again.

Light traffic during sunlight by hikers.

Quite otherwise.

Sites are not level so be prepared

Drove in at 8pm in dark. First couple miles paved then ~3 miles to camping top. Many places to camp along way up. One other pop up VE camper near top, but I stayed far away. Saw a vehicle with 4-wheel ATV trailer on way out at 7am.

No traffic all night in camping area. Could hear the dull roar of freeway to the west. (White noise).

Good T-mobile reception. Watched end of Chiefs-Rams football game on iPhone. Go Chiefs! Won in overtime.

47 degrees dropped to 39 by morning.

Nice that this spot is not far off the I-10. Can work in Las Cruces Starbucks today and then move on to the Gila NF tonight.
