"As some of the reviews have said, the "disperse" sites are very groomed and close to one another, but if you keep driving beyond them, the road"
"How often do you find a free spot with AMAZING hiking and privacy?"
"Several turnouts for camp sites with many having rock fire rings.
Lots of dove and some quail.
A few cows in the area."
"If you keep going down the road a bit farther, turn left onto a BLM dirt road (this camping area is listed on iOverlander app)."
"The campsites are fantastic. You will need a 4x4 to get into the back area. The last few spots are the best."
"Potrillo Mountain ridge in the Desert Peaks National Monument on BLM land in the Chihuahuan Desert. Very few people out there."
"This area is on the same road as the Baylor Canyon Spur Dispersed site. The road is dirt and a bit rocky."
GuideYes, you can camp in the parking lot of the trailhead or around it if using a tent. There is a sign asking you not to block the day use parking spaces.
When you click "get directions" here on The Dyrt and use Google Maps, you will be taken to a different free/dispersed camping area a another mile or so down the road (I camped here) first come/first served. It is made up of pullouts along a rocky two track that roughly parallels the road
In reference to the above statement. Tent campers can use either area, the only stipulation is no vehicles or generators on the other side of the fence.
In reference to #2. If you are a large RV or 5th wheel, you probably won't fit and the rest of us will have a grand time watching you get out after you discover this fact for yourself. If you're lucky you'll get the single pull-through(ish) spot that is next to the cattle gaurd.
All of the above being said. This was a great place to establish a base camp for a few days while exploring the western parts of the Organ Mountains. The pullouts vary in size, from car and tent to pickup cab style RV. Most of the spaces were occupied by #vanlife types and my bright yellow teardrop stood out. Neighbors are close enough to wave at but not intrude.
RangerGap Tank is located in the gap between Mt. Riley and the E. Potrillo Mountain ridge in the Desert Peaks National Monument on BLM land in the Chihuahuan Desert. Very few people out there. Very primitive. No campground. Little to no shade. I’ve camped here twice in my truck bed—once in 2017 when I climbed Mt. Riley and once in 2020. Close to Mexican border but I didn’t have any problems. Probably not conducive to RVs because difficult to pull off county road.
GuideHi! Marking 3 only bc we didn't camp at any of the trailheads. But, I have a lesson learned to share!! After driving through the 3 trailheads in the area--they were kind of crowded & we kept looking. Several little pull-offs showed prior stone fire rings, so we pulled into one of those. On our last day, a very kind BLM officer pulled in to let us know that, just bc our app shows BLM land, it doesn't mean we can park anywhere. We were unknowingly in an arroyo, for water flow, and the acceptable camping areas are the trailheads. Hoping this lesson will help others! Beautiful area and appreciated the officer not requiring us to pack up & move right away!
TravelerIn the chill of November 2023, I found myself drawn to the desolate expanse of Dispersed Camping off Corralitos Rd on I-10, near Las Cruces, New Mexico. There, amidst the haunting shadows of dead horses scattered like forgotten relics, I lingered for a mere half-hour. This eerie spot, shrouded in mystery and decay, whispered secrets of forgotten tales amid the howling winds. A grim reminder of life's fragility, nestled just off the beaten path, where the line between the living and the dead blurs into obscurity.

GuideDefinitely would NOT recommend CARS going past the 3rd or 4th parking space! But - for higher clearance vehicles: OK. Just drive carefully. I saw a few rocks that I would NOT want to hit at 15mph+. I tried another dispersed camping area, a couple of miles closer to Las Cruces… but it looked like there was a few cars there for a “party”. Ummm… no thanks. Here, at Baylor canyon, it seems more laid back.
RangerConveniently located to town. Easy to get to. Would recommend high clearance vehicles, but manageable for others. Spectacular views of the organ mountains and plentiful hiking opportunities. Great spot to boondock. We had great service for work and virtual classes.
RangerI would definitely try to get spots here before Sierra Vista or Baylor Pass trailhead as you don’t have to deal with the traffic trying to get to the parking area to hike. The road is a bit rocky and the middle section has some bigger rocks protruding but if you can get camping spots in the first four sites from either side your gold, have high clearance then no troubles at all. Able to get our 39’ toy hauler into this location without any issues.
GuideI don't know how to add a campground so I'll just review from here. This spot would be fine for a night if you get in late or plan to do the hike at the TH then camp. But you're literally camping in a parking lot. If you keep going down the road a bit farther, turn left onto a BLM dirt road (this camping area is listed on iOverlander app). There are a handful of dispersed sites just off the road. More private and space than the TH parking and close access to a TH that takes you up the Organ Needle. 2wd OK for access to most sites
