Best Dispersed Camping near Clint, TX

Dispersed camping near Clint, Texas offers two primary options for primitive camping on public lands. Fort Bliss Army Range provides free dispersed camping with expansive desert views of El Paso and the Franklin Mountains. BLM land along Road B059 in nearby New Mexico features multiple pull-off sites accessible from I-10. Both locations provide basic primitive camping with no amenities or facilities.

Fort Bliss Range camping requires specific permits and permissions. Campers must obtain an annual range permit at Buffalo Soldiers Gate and contact Range Control for camping authorization. The area contains unexploded ordnance (UXO), so visitors must exercise extreme caution and remain in designated areas. According to a camper review, the site known as Kerby Tank on the east edge of the range offers "very empty and quiet" camping with scenic sunset views.

Road conditions vary significantly at these sites. The BLM B059 road begins with paved sections but transitions to increasingly rough terrain. Several campers noted the road becomes "rocky and rutted," with high-clearance vehicles recommended for accessing deeper sites. Standard passenger cars can typically reach the first few pull-offs. Most sites feature existing rock fire rings. Cell service is generally reliable, with Verizon and AT&T coverage reported throughout the area. Campers should prepare for temperature fluctuations, with nighttime lows dropping into the 30s during cooler months.

Wildlife in the BLM area includes dove, quail, and occasional cattle. Hiking trails into nearby mountain ranges provide additional recreational opportunities. Ambient noise from I-10 and occasional military training exercises from nearby ranges may be audible, particularly at night. Sites are typically not level, so proper equipment for stabilizing vehicles and tents is advisable.
