Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Socorro, TX

Lots of trails to go through. Pets are welcome

Nice place to visit and stay for a night or two. Wish they would allow pets...

Sites are fairly close. Wifi is good throughout the park, pet amenities need work but for being so close to the interstate it is exceptionally quiet. Manager is nice and accommodating. On site repair facility with accessories if needed.

Loved 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.

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. Walmart 12 mins away.

Nice park with about 130 pull thru spots. 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. There is a "family community room", but that and the shower/bath house have been closed due to covid.

This 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.

This place was great for an overnight stay. 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. We just don't like being packed in like sardines being only 3ft from your neighbor on either side. But, they have everything you could need, bathhouses, 24hr laundry, Campground Store, areas to walk the dog. We'd stay here again if passing through El Paso for sure!

There are many places along this road (road B059 per Google maps) to pull over and stay the night. Road in is rocky and rutted in places; we made it in our 26ft Class C but a higher clearance vehicle would have made for a much less stressful drive in.  It was extremely windy when we stayed here, and boom / explosion sounds all night made for an uneasy night, especially for our dogs.  We are assuming the sounds came from testing and / or training at the nearby Doña Ana range, but they sounded like chemical plant explosions.  Boom sounds started the evening we stayed there and are still going on as I write this review the next day.   Good verizon and ATT reception.   Spring time in this area should be beautiful with wildflowers.  I don't think we'll come back to see them though.

No amenities like electricity, water or dump stations. Great for walking, cycling, birding. The only camping sites in the metropolitan area in Texas. Sites are semi level and gravel. Great for meditating

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 hot shower, internet, a dump station and campsite hook ups for our RV. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed our stay and the Ranger tour of the pictographs in the park that is so close by.

Stumbled upon this Texas State Historic Park looking for something around El Paso. Called and captured the last site available for our desired timeframe. What an awesome camping area with a bonus of being able to explore the pictographs on both a self-guided and guided tour. Definitely worth a visit. Just come prepared to stay on site for a few days. They close the gate at 6pm come hell or high water!

Always 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.

Crowded RV park, but had trees which was nice! Right off I-10 so traffic noise is always present. This would be a good place for RV camping, but not tent camping.

We stayed one night (May 30, 2022). The is a nice, easy access CG with large, level pull through and back in gravel sites. 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. There are a number of activities available: clubhouse, indoor swimming, tennis and basketball courts, playground, horseshoes, biking and walking (within the RV park). We did not make use of the laundry, bathrooms or showers. It was convenient for an overnight stay. We would stay here again.
