Minutes from Dell City. You can see the Sand Dunes from this place. This is a quiet, secluded place. NOT A BIG CAMPGROUND.
My buddy and I were road-tripping from Washington State to Texas and this was our last stop. What a way to end this awesome trip!
Stumbled upon this Texas State Historic Park looking for something around El Paso.
$20 / night
GuideWhat an incredible spot. 6 yurts. 4 cabins with power and all amenities. A hot shower. Less than 30 minutes to the park. Soooo peaceful and beautiful. 15 minutes from Dell City for supplies. I'm so glad the park was full and I stumbled onto this place. This place could be a destination on its own.
GuideGreat small family owned and lived at campground. A nice couple that has sites at their place literally setting right in front of the Guadalupe Mountains. 20 some minutes away from Guadalupe national Park. Minutes from Dell City. You can see the Sand Dunes from this place. This is a quiet, secluded place. NOT A BIG CAMPGROUND. The owners are friendly and helpful. This is a great option to the overcrowded Pine Springs Campground.
ScoutThis is a great campground for tents & hammocks. If you are in an RV is it parking lot camping only. There is a working restroom (no showers) as well as a washing station for dishes. It is in the perfect spot for many of the main trails in the park. We visited in July. The nights were nice, however, from 11am-6pm it is best to find shade or something to do (we drove around and explored the area).
Closest gas station is in Dell City (about a 30 minute drive) that is also the closest place to get food or ice, so just be prepared! I have more pictures and information here on my blog.
ScoutNice place to visit and stay for a night or two. Wish they would allow pets...
LegendDog Canyon is located on the north end of Guadalupe Mountains National Park aka the highest point in Texas. Though secluded, Dog Canyon fills up fast so arrive early or plan in advance to claim your spot.
Due to the elevation, this campground is cooler and has more shelter than the Pine Springs campground. Dog Canyon has excellent trail access with options of one-day or shorter day hikes.
Ranger recommendations:
TravelerLoved the hiking and petroglyphs here— also enjoyed the self guided tour. Campsites were really nice with beautiful sunsets — downside was how many goat heads were right near where you park so hard not to bring them in. But overall really enjoyed it here, dog was bummed about how limited the dog use area was.
TravelerLike others have said. Easy to find and access road is doable for almost any rig. Sunrise and sunsets are amazing. Cows can be persistent and if you have a dog be careful it doesn’t get trampled. Loved the spot and would definitely return
RangerThis is an active and protected archeological site. About two or three miles before the park, you will be stopped and questioned regarding your intent. The attendant then radios the park registration desk to inform of your pending arrival. Once registered, you will be sent on to a 10 minute orientation delivered by a volunteer offering lots of information about the park.
The level gravel campsites are spaced well apart and have plenty of natural landscaping for privacy. The sites have cabanas over the picnic tables, nearby trash disposal and on site water and electric are available. The bathrooms with showers are well maintained and clean.
There are many hikes to interesting archeological sites and unique geological formations, but (understandably) dogs are not allowed on those trails. There is, however, a trail that circumvents the park where dogs are allowed. The park has many day visitors who come to hike the well maintained, rocky trails.
My original intent was to spend just one night, but I stayed for three. January, 2021.
GuideWe stayed three nights for free while hiking and exploring Guadalupe Mountain NP and Carlsbad Caverns NP. Plenty of space and a room to let the dog explore. Close to both parks. Even in January the spots stayed full but there is lots of room around the parameter. We preferred those spots as it kept more distance from the other campers.
