Jal Lake Park provides free camping for up to 72 hours with electrical hookups suitable for RVs and tent sites where pets are allowed. The campground offers water, 20/30/50 amp connections, and a dump station within a short walking distance.

Monahans Sandhills State Park Campground, located about an hour away in Texas, also welcomes pets with water and electric hookups at pull-through sites. Eunice Municipal Recreation Area represents another nearby pet-friendly option with electric hookups and toilets, though some visitors note limited facilities. Sand tends to get everywhere at Monahans, making it challenging for pet owners to keep their animals clean during their stay.

"Keep in mind this is a no cost location that has power, water and a dump station next to a pond where fishing is allowed."
"No sewer but dump station is pretty close by with clear signs. There’s 6 spots for RVs to park. Enough space for big rigs and can park additional car on the side."
"I always stop here on my to North TX from Southern New Mexico. Gorgeous dunes and sunrises and sunsets from anywhere at this camp. The bathrooms are always super clean and there are even showers!"
"Sand dunes are cool and o see but hard to walk in with the sand so soft. Sites are spacious and have a picnic table. Good for a day or 2 stay."

RangerI always stop here on my to North TX from Southern New Mexico. Gorgeous dunes and sunrises and sunsets from anywhere at this camp. The bathrooms are always super clean and there are even showers!
GuideKeep in mind this is a no cost location that has power, water and a dump station next to a pond where fishing is allowed. It does however border a main road so it is extremely noisy and it is a public park that is very busy in the afternoons…. At night there was some untoward activity 🙈….
LegendNice and quite campground. Sand dunes are cool and o see but hard to walk in with the sand so soft. Sites are spacious and have a picnic table. Good for a day or 2 stay. Only downside is no sewer hookup at site but does have a dump station close by.
TravelerWe stayed here for a dump and refill after few days of boonedocking. It has water, 20/30/50amp and a dump station. No sewer but dump station is pretty close by with clear signs. There’s 6 spots for RVs to park. Enough space for big rigs and can park additional car on the side. There is a shaded picnic area and a grill.
There is a lake beside close by with a beautiful sunset which was a plus and the best part is, it’s FREE!
Downside is it’s off of a pretty busy road, so some noise from cars passing by.
Verizon had LTE 3 bars but not that fast for some reason. Video streaming lagged a bit.
There were about 2-3 other RVs staying and going. There is a 72hr limit. There is nothing around in the town though. Lowes grocery did have little more than necessities.
Would come again for quick refill.
GuideLoved this campsite! It was so cool to see all of the sand dunes. Right off the highway exit but far out where you can’t hear any traffic noise. Drinking water, electric, bath house with hot showers, and picnic tables available. Decent price with amenities. You can rent sand discs and sled down the mountains. Definitely recommended to check out for a night or two!
LegendGeneral: Small (25-site) campground in one loop. Temporary park headquarters as the huge visitor center at the entrance was under construction when we were there.
Site Quality: Sites have paved driveways, covered picnic shelters, bbq, electric hookup, and water a spigot. Some sites are back-in and some pull-through. We watched some larger rigs try and fit into the back-in sites, which are smaller than the pull-throughs. Our site (25) seemed to have two picnic tables and two BBQs (there were some on the other side for the site next to us so not sure why there were two in our site unless two campers would come together?)
Bathhouse: There is one all-in-one and one regular restroom with two additional showers (and a connecting door between them. Hot water and soap dispensers but no paper towels. The showers were incredible – hot water, great water pressure, and clean. One of the best campground showers I have ever had!
Activities: Explore the dunes! There are no designated paths; you are free to climb the dunes and explore. Saucers are available to rent for $6 and wax for $1. The sunsets are beautiful. The constantly shifting sand makes beautiful patterns and great photographs. If the moon is not full, night sky photography.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here exploring the dunes (and the incredible shower!).
GuideI was happy to find this campground because it did offer electric, water, and sewer amenities. I arrived at night and had a difficult time locating the lot, even with GPS. The lot was stark—simply a large open gravel lot with plug ins lining the outside perimeter. I was one of three other campers. The most disturbing problem was the odor omitted by the surrounding petroleum industry. So invasive, I couldn’t wait to leave.
ScoutGreat spot to overnight. Free electrical and water. Free dump station. Donations excepted. City park one block away. Restaurants within walking distance.
LegendWe have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 28 for 5 nights in early/mid September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, but narrow, as are the pull-through sites. The sites themselves all seemed mostly level. The CG was very quiet and peaceful. There were only 3 or 4 other campers in the CG while we were there. Our site, 9, was a pull-through, as were several, but some were back in. There isn’t any shade, but we had a decent breeze, which helped. Our dog loved frolicking in the sand dunes, but do watch out for goathead burrs, she found a few.
AT&T coverage was pretty good with 2 bars of LTE service and speeds up to 17 MB/s. We had a clear view to the N at the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 20 MB/s.
