"El Paso gets very good ratings on being a safe border town. Great stop if you are traveling through, lots to explore nearby."
"The sites are level dirt, asphalt drives and FHU sites. The price point is excellent (<$50/night for FHU pull-thru). The campground does offer weekly and monthly rates."
$44 - $199 / night
"It is located at the I-10 and 375 interchange next to a trucking container storage facility– there is a lot of road noise and trucking activity, but no bother. The WiFi was good as was cell service."
"You are right off the highway, but the campground feels very safe all things considered. Everything is paved and feels super level."
"Stumbled upon this Texas State Historic Park looking for something around El Paso. Called and captured the last site available for our desired timeframe."
"Has wild mountain goats roaming right next to your tent and has off path trails that lead to incredible views"
$19 - $25 / night
"There is some road noise from the highway.. Great view of foothills and close to Ft Bliss and downtown El Paso. Great cell and Hotspot reception."
"It is very crowded however and with a location near a highway it is nothing to write home about. Small park, 3 fenced in dog areas, and a laundry facility."
$10 - $20 / night
"Great for walking, cycling, birding. The only camping sites in the metropolitan area in Texas. Sites are semi level and gravel. Great for meditating"
"Gorgeous views and there was hardly anyone else around - it was great. Stayed at Campsite 25 in my Subaru Outback with my dog. No problems. Composite toilet within walking distance."
$5 - $60 / night
"Hueco Tanks is a very small Texas state park and we couldn’t get a campsite. We were extremely pleased with what Gleatherland offered us."
"Great clean bathroom nearby. The Yurt had pretty much everything except a bathroom. Very comfy. Campground has a cool vibe tucked into the foothills of the Hueco Mountains."
GuideWe stayed only 1 night, happy to be past El Paso on our trek west. Clean level sites. Clean secure bathrooms and showers. We had a pull through on the end so it was a terrifically easy in and out.
GuideExcellent campground at a historical site / state park. Because of so much history (pictographs, etc), access to most areas are tightly restricted. Internet access is spotty near campground restrooms, but non-existent at campsites (unless you have Starlink, etc). Ask about tours (limited hours).

RangerWe had a great time glamping in Yurt 1. What can I say? Good times. Great clean bathroom nearby. The Yurt had pretty much everything except a bathroom. Very comfy. Campground has a cool vibe tucked into the foothills of the Hueco Mountains.
GuideMy husband grew up in El Paso and came here as a kid, so we decided to stop for a night on our way through the area. They only allow 70 people through a day, so it is not crowded at all. There is an area for self guided tours & an area only for guided tours. We stayed in the campground and did the self guided hike the first day, then decided to book a tour for the next day. Both were well worth doing and the guided tour was only $5 p/person and lasted about 3 hrs. We only intended to stay one night, but just as the tour ended a wicked sand storm moved in, so we asked if we could stay another night. The staff was very understanding and knew it was not safe to send us out in that. They had a spot they reserve for emergencies and put us there. We were very grateful as they shut down parts of I-10, which is where we were headed. The campground sites are pretty level, have electric & water. However, when we were there they asked to conserve as much water as possible & even use our own if possible. There were restrooms, but we did not use them so cannot comment. Very unique place, definitely worth the visit.
TravelerI arrived late and had no reservation but the ranger was extremely kind and let me in and I paid in the morning. It is a safe, clean, and lovely place. It even has sites where, if you have four wheel drive you can go and be very isolated. I loved this place!
GuideAlways stay here on my way back to Texas or heading farther west. A few solid campsites on mossman road; roads are a little rough closer to the campsite but nothing crazy, should be good for a 2wd. Never see anyone here, besides a ranger this time. Good spot under open sky.
Rangerpulled into the loves parking lot that I had scoped out on Google maps. pulled directly into the first lane of pumps with the ass end blocking traffic. And from there, I could just pull forward and back into my spot full of fuel.
In the morning I made a reservation so I can stay here another night as well. I was just going to stay one night. But I can get Propane within walking distance of my truck and the subway shop isn't much farther. Maybe I'll check out the laundry facilities, too. I've already filled the freshwater tank and the water seems fine. Good thing I do not need to dump my black tank because even with the extension, I don't think my hoses would reach. The flaw in the design is that all the sites are back in and the pedestals and sewer ports are behind the RV when parked. Don't worry though because there is a dump station even closer than the propane refill. All six sites orient each camper pretty much due east west with the passenger side to the south. Actually, putting a sewer connection at each site is overkill when there is a nearby dump station, that you can use on your way in or your way out. For one night stops that's all you need. The street noise is tolerable. All the big trucks go to the opposite side of this complex. There were distant train noises and I could barely see the tops of a few cars over the western horizon. Getting the power turned on took a couple phone calls and unintelligible conversations over the intercom setup at the kiosk. I got $72 of propane and the attendant even carried a full 20 and 40 over to my site. While in the office paying for that I got them to turn the power back on, which was turned off at noon because yesterdays stay was over and todays had not started. This gas station and“travel stop” does not sell beer?!?!?!?!? Make sure to ask for your favorite adult beverage, maybe they will get some
GuideMy bus was squeaking, twisting, driving at an angle, and it was a brutal drive... While I'll not come back because it's not well maintained, it does have very beautiful vistas, so that's why it got 3 stars.
