TravelerTent camping 6/5/25. Almost all of the spots are full, unless you go much farther back onto what seems to be a rough dirt road. I parked and then put my tent a little ways out. Everyone is very quiet, but you can hear cars from the highway. Beautiful clear sky and view of the mountains. Very clean and well maintained.
TravelerCamp was clean and quiet with lots of available spaces midweek. You have to have a reservation prior to arrival. And don’t get confused and fill out the paper registration at the entrance. That is for day picnicking
GuideStayed here for a couple of nights, walked the trails. Used the dump station and everything was good. Nice camp spots.
GuideI showed up here with my travel trailer, I think it was a good place to park and enjoy the view and night time breeze.
GuideThere are 55 total campsites here. First come, first serve. Smaller RVs only as a winding road takes you here and the spots are small. Sites are close together but there is good privacy between spots. The views are amazing! Good cell signal.
GuideWhat a nice place to stay. I like it so much I stayed fpr 8 days. Very close to White Sands NP and to the city. The Ranger went by every day I like that. The whole place have site by the road, clean and organice. Busy road with the Sierra Vista trail but it was private enough. Super crazy windy in the afternoons.
TravelerQuiet, pull through camp sites. There are even more dispersed spots if you go past the initial entrance. It's beautiful and clean which let's me know people take care to pack in and pack out. Which I greatly appreciated.
