Best Campgrounds near Anthony, TX

339 Reviews

Anthony sits at the border of Texas and New Mexico with several campground options spanning both states. El Paso West RV Park is located directly in Anthony, while Sombra Antigua Winery, just minutes away, provides camping sites with wine tasting access. Nearby Franklin Mountains State Park Campground in El Paso offers tent and RV sites with primitive facilities in a mountainous desert landscape. The area features a mix of developed RV parks with full hookups and more rustic options with minimal amenities. Most camping facilities in the region are established campgrounds rather than dispersed sites, with the exception of Sierra Vista near Las Cruces.

The Chihuahuan Desert climate influences camping conditions with hot summers and mild winters. Flash floods can occur during monsoon season, typically July through September, affecting trail access. Many campgrounds in the area lack shade trees, requiring campers to bring their own shelter from the sun. One camper noted, "Stayed at one of the drive-in sites. No cell service since the sites are tucked back in the mountains, but this added to the peace and serenity." Park gates at Franklin Mountains State Park close from 5pm to 8am, requiring campers to obtain padlock combinations for nighttime entry. RV parks typically offer year-round accessibility, while primitive sites may have seasonal closures or restrictions during extreme heat periods.

Campers report mixed experiences with facilities at area campgrounds. Franklin Mountains State Park receives positive reviews for its scenic desert mountain views and hiking trails, though tent camping can be challenging on the rocky terrain. Several visitors mentioned difficulties staking tents and dealing with high winds. Sombra Antigua Winery campground draws positive reviews for its unique setting amid wine and pecan orchards, with one camper describing it as a "great unusual place" with "beautiful surrounding area." El Paso West RV Park has inconsistent reviews regarding customer service. For RV travelers, the area provides several full-hookup options with varying amenities, though availability can be limited due to the relatively small size of most facilities in the region.

    Las Cruces KOA

    Views and classic amenities

    We did one night at this KOA. Laundry was easy and used a QR app to pay or traditional coin operation. The place is beautiful and well maintained. Lots of views that everyone can enjoy. A stunning mountain range view that make sunrises and sets a treat.

    Aguirre Spring Recreation Area and Campground

    Crowded, noisy, awful.

    This campsite is one of the worst I’ve been at in yeeeaaasrrrrsss. So many people. So many RUDE people. People who literally just want to party and play extremely loud music and keep their generator on all day and night. There’s supposed to be a no noise or generators after 10pm but there’s no enforcement. On top of that, the bathrooms are AWFUL. There are so many flies in the toilet it’s actually impossible to go, so bring your own LNT toilet and a tent for it since everyone will see you otherwise. Oh, and the gnats are INSANE. I only gave this place 2 stars because it’s gorgeous. Too bad it’s a magnet for the worst kinds of campers.

    Oregan Wilderness Dispersed

    Rocky road and crowded, but beautiful

    There are many sites off this road, but it was super crowded when I went in April. Additionally, the sites are quite close to another nearby main road that is primarily parallel to the road you camp off. I didn’t hear much car noise from that road, but I could easily see the cars driving by from my tent. With these things in mind, I wouldn’t necessarily say I felt isolated when camping here in my tent, and it is definitely not “out there” in nature, but the views of the Organ Mountains are wonderful!

    The road in is very bumpy/rocky. I’m kind of a risk-taker with my Toyota Corolla and was able to make it the full way from one end of the road to the other (driving VERY slowly and carefully), but had to get out of my car quite a few times to move large rocks out of the way.

    In all, I recommend this spot due to the beautiful views and convenient location, but be aware that it might be pretty crowded and the road doesn’t necessarily suit normal cars (shout-out to my fellow non-camper/van/jeep peeps!).

    Hacienda RV Resort

    Served its purpose while in for a few days

    As noted in other review here: Traffic is fast on curved road, be alert. Overall, clean, showers have a step so water can stay inside shower stall, there is a handicapped shower. All shower closets have sinks and plenty of hooks on wall. The one I used has blow dryer. Only one toilet in men's room (room that is separate from showers). WiFi is available but you must create a sign-in/acct. so we did not use it. Phone reception was great and we were able to hotspot for work (used VPN). Staff is friendly and let us know water pressure is high so use a reducer (we did not need water hookup), and also cautioned us that there have been some bike thefts in area and let us know that if we wanted, we could keep bikes inside their office at no charge (open 9 to 5 so we were not able to do that). It was very hot (>100) and so we kept fan/AC on all night and wrapped our cord around bikes in such a way that if someone was up to no-good, s/he would need to turn it off and thus notify us that something was up (and they might get a shock depending on how that went! ;). No table, but had sewer and water in addition to electric. Site was level. There is a free dogwash! We watched a gray fox during day that was nearby (did not come very close to campground). I-10 is close but we did not notice any noise. A Wal Mart is across the frwy, and several restaurants nearby. We did not use spa but it was clean and there is a large patio area for activities/cookouts that is quite nice. Large area also for horseshoes, corn hole and as noted in other reviews a narrow but very long dog walk for pets to roam. 

    Might be a bit nicer in cooler weather----just way too hot to do much around grounds (BBQ, cornhole, spa). Would stay here again.

    Sierra Vista

    Beautiful but busy

    Tent 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.

    Aguirre Spring Recreation Area and Campground

    Small cozy beautiful spots

    There 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.

    Sierra Vista

    Private and safe

    What 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.
