Best Dispersed Camping near Dell City, TX

Coming from Carlsbad the GPS may have you get off at Chosa Campground and there’s a dirt road connecting that to this site, but recommend you turn around to get back on the highway going north and then exit at this marker. Even camped right off the highway the noise didn’t bother us, but a few people continued down the roads going further away. Windy and hot until the sun went down!

Traveled 10 hours to visit Carlsbad Caverns. Found this spacious location, was not very busy (only two other campers), spacious and quiet. Beautiful view of Carlsbad range. This is a BLM managed site with no utilities except trash bins.

The previous review is SUPER helpful. We pulled in close to midnight without an issue locating the fire rings to set up camp. We were camping in a truck bed tent and it was great. The stargazing is impeccable and we got lucky and it was a shooting star frenzy. Wind does pick up a good bit at night. Please leave no trace. We picked up a good but of trash that was left before us. Would definitely camp again. A bit of highway noise since you aren’t far, but that did not bother me.

Multiple pull offs along the paved road to sitting Bull Falls. The road follows a winding canyon up to a natural spring and waterfalls. There's a picnic area at the falls and trailhead to loads of hiking into Lincoln National Forest. No facilities at the campsites but there is water, trash, and bathrooms at the end of the road at the bottom of the falls. Well with the visit!!

Nice open spot right off the highway. Drive up the paved road and it’s on your left. Gravel has been laid down so it’s nice and firm for campers/RVs. Also has a garbage can there. No hookups or bathrooms. We tented but did so just outside the fence. There was several fire rings out there and the ground is much softer for stake driving. Real close to Carlsbad Cavern and Guadalupe NP. It did get windy as hell at night. Like 30mph wind so definitely take that into consideration especially if you’re tenting.

This is a flat graveled lot with some homemade firepits (or rocks you can use to make one). Big trash dumpster but no other services. Very close to Carlsbad Caverns. Worked really well for our two camper vans. Close to freeway but not much road noise.

2 females staying here, were the only ones here and it’s off the highway a bit so we feel very safe. flat gaveled camp site.

Chosa Campground is essentially a giant gravel parking lot. Pretty much a last ditch effort, free campsite near the caverns. Great for overlanders and the RV crowd as it’s nice and flat. There are no bathrooms, no electrical hook-ups, and no shade. Plan accordingly.
