"Southeast New Mexico has mountains believe it or not. The camp is nestled up against one. It’s Memorial Day weekend and not too crowded. Highly recommend for the price (basically free)."
"I've been on a nationwide roadtrip for a few months that now and I have tent camped alone in many sites from Florida to Arkansas to, now, New Mexico."
"Clean, safe, beautiful views of the Organ mts and Las Cruses, great trails close by.
Limited spots and could be more difficult for rvs. Great for vans.""Drive to the trailhead has about four areas set up for camping. Plus room for more at the cul-de-sac at the end."
"We stopped at this KOA for one night while passing through New Mexico. We had a great view of the valley below and our site had everything we needed--full hookups."
"This is a very clean and organized KOA. One of the best I’ve stayed at. Nice showers and dog park. Located up on the hill so you have nice views."
"Conveniently 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 place to rest for the night before attempting any hikes in Organ Desert Mountains National Monument. "
"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"

ScoutGreat spot, great views. Be careful tent camping very exposed to wind all directions.
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.
GuideOur biggest issue with this campsite was that it was extremely difficult to find. I’m not sure if the coordinates aren’t accurate or what, but it would help to have more signs along the highway showing where to turn. We passed the turn in at least twice and had to ask a cop at the inspection point before we finally found it. If you’re traveling in the dark, good luck. Best advice is to enter from the west and turn before you get to the air force base, but after the missile range. There aren’t many roads that turn off the highway so chances are you’ll pick the right one eventually haha. Once you find the turn in, there’s a cattle grate that is very rough to get over, but manageable. We camped right next to the water which was gorgeous, especially during sunrise. There was plenty of space when we went, only two other RVs staying that we could see. Not too much noise like I’ve seen other people mention, only a little aircraft noise every now and then. We saw lots of wildlife in the area. The lake is pretty stinky, as a matter of fact the cop called it “stinky lakes”, but it wasn’t terrible. We only stayed overnight and went to White Sands NP the following morning. Perfect for anyone looking to stay for a night, and drive to the park. The park is maybe 5 minutes down the road, extremely convenient! Overall for a free site, we had a great stay!
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.
TravelerWe got their pretty late at night the directions will take you to the middle of the highway but just keep going and you can find the drive . Lots of camp spots near the lake . It was super windy . Felt super safe border patrol drives through . 4 min drive to white sand dunes !
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.
GuideThis was a very enjoyable camping location, stayed here for a couple days, myself and my girlfriend enjoyed the hiking trail, the mountains and scenery that nature offers. Each camp space has a fire pit with a nice picnic table, you could easily park a 20+ft RV on the parking space.
GuideWe were here for 2 nights. Beautiful sunset you must stay for and see. 5 mins from White Sands NP. No amenities but free. It is right off the highway but couldn’t hear traffic noise. Also please note that the marker from the directions on the app is a little inaccurate. If you’re going West on 70, about another .2 miles down and you will see it on the right. If you are coming East (passing the park), then it’ll be bit before. There is a left lane on the highway to turn into the entrance. We missed it coming out of the park and had to make a u-turn. No big deal but want to give others a heads up!
