Picacho Road Dispersed Camping

This free dispersed camping area sits along a dirt road on Bureau of Land Management property, accessible by standard vehicles with careful attention to the entrance. Campers must navigate a 3-4 inch drop into a slight ditch to reach the gravel camping spot, which works for truck campers but requires consideration for lower-clearance vehicles.

The site provides basic amenities including allowed campfires and cell service coverage. Local traffic uses the dirt road regularly, though the location remains far enough from highways to minimize road noise. The somewhat level gravel surface offers a straightforward setup area for places to camp around Mayhill visitors exploring this remote section of southeastern New Mexico.

Decent Place to Stop, Nothing Special

It's a decent pull off from a random dirt road in New Mexico. You have to drop off into a slight ditch to get to the spot, about 3-4 inches I'd say. We were fine in a truck camper but it's something to consider. There was a decent amount of local trees traffic on the road, but we were far enough away from the highway that we couldn't hear much of any road noise. Literally just a patch of somewhat level gravel
