Drive-in access makes this established campground within El Malpais National Monument straightforward to reach, though campers should prepare for the remote high desert setting. The site allows both campfires and pets, with reservations available for the $34 nightly rate. Located in the Big Tubes Area, the campground puts visitors near the monument's extensive lava tube system and volcanic landscapes. For additional camping options, the Chain of Craters Hiker Hideout sits 8.3 miles northeast. The location works well for campers planning to explore the monument's geological features and hiking trails.
