Whites City Road Dispersed Camp

Free dispersed camping on Bureau of Land Management property sits four miles from Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The dirt and gravel sites accommodate big rigs and provide cell service coverage. Recent access reports indicate road barriers may limit entry, with rock and gravel rows blocking the dirt path to camping areas.

Campers must bring their own water and portable toilets, as no facilities exist on site. The area typically remains quiet with minimal traffic, allowing groups to spread out across the available space. However, potential visitors should verify current access conditions before making the drive, as road closures have been reported in the vicinity.

Looks like the area is no longer available for camping

I drove up to the area and a long the path they have put a row of rocks and gravel about a foot foot and a half tall to keep people from driving through so you can't access the dirt path to get to the area anymore. Also there was some clearing about two miles before that closer to the highway that had a sign that said area closed road closed no camping no soliciting
