Free & Simple

It’s just a huge free dirt lot to camp in. Very close to Carlsbad caverns and Guadalupe National parks.

Desert Climate. Flat, open lands.

Our first NM BLM camp was here. Literally 6 miles north of the Texas border. We got there at 5pm in 90 degree weather. Luckily we had a swamp cooler to keep us cool. I highly recommend if you camp in Summer months to get there closer to sunset. It cools down quickly when the sun is down, and gets as cold at night as it gets hot in the day. We left around noon before it got too hot.
