The facilities are clean and the wine is good. I recommend this. The atmosphere is great also.

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

Beautiful area with a history site close from El Paso, TX
ScoutWe stayed one night and really enjoyed the stay. They have a large outdoor covered wine tasting area that allows dogs. An excellent wine sampling set helped choose a good wine. I’m not a normal wine connoisseur, but the staff was helpful in finding options that I liked. The RV area is just a big parking lot with one electric hookup. The surrounding area is beautiful wine and pecan orchards. Loved this place!
GuideWas able to fill up her with fresh water. That and the bath/shower got us through two days here. Good wine, too.
RangerParking for sites is SLANTED, very few flat! 1 bar Verizon. Gorgeous here but tough in a camper van. Also very windy.

When we booked Mission RV Park, I didn’t really look into it that much. We didn’t know what to expect. Turns out, it’s our new favorite spot to stay when passing through El Paso. The staff are incredibly friendly! They told us about some local attractions that did not disappoint! You are right off the highway, but the campground feels very safe all things considered. Everything is paved and feels super level. They were very accommodating for our dogs and tried to give us a site with a nice sunset view! Would stay here again 100%. They also have an indoor pool and hot tub that are open until 8pm!

…yeah the manager said this to my husband. Guess what, we own the BMW motorcycle and the house behind it in the picture. I wish I could leave zero stars because of the disrespectful treatment my husband received. I’m still in disbelief this seriously happened. I want to let everyone know the RV park person managing during the day on Feb. 16, 2024 was very inappropriate and rude. My husband was kicked out because his camper/tiny home did not have pumps. The manager accused of scamming the RV park, for being poor, and lying about where he works. For one thing, a person CANNOT assume by the way a person looks like and second, why would anyone lie about where he works, especially that place specifically. He can show his ID from his place of work. Wouldn’t that be unlawful? Because of his place of work, the last thing my husband would do is anything unlawful and he has worked for the same company for the last 17 years. He built the camper with his own two hands AND he disclosed everything with pictures when he paid for the first month’s rent. How in the world is he scamming when he paid the lot rent earlier than the date he actually planned to move in. In Tucson, we own a$400K home, own a BMW motorcycle, and a Toyota Tacoma with A LOT of aftermarket add ons which may cost more than some of the campers in the RV park. He enjoys building things and took great pride in the build of the camper. Actually, so MANY people actually stop by and ask if they can take a picture of the camper because of how intriguing it is. Whoever the guy was, really needs to take classes on social/people skills and what is and IS NOT okay to say to people, especially customers. It did not have to go down that route and accuse my husband of being a scammer and a liar. Who in their right mind would talk to a customer like that, especially when the customer(my husband) was respectful when the wife of the fat white guy approached him and told him he couldn’t stay there because his camper doesn’t have pumps. My husband said okay and was ready to leave and not cause trouble. The fat white guy just HAD to come out and put in his rude 2 cents. NOT OKAY!!
Travelervery cool historical and geographically interesting location. campsites back right up against the north mountain. didn't use the showers, but bathrooms were clean and heated
GuideRemote desert camping with plenty of amenities. From primitive camping for $5/night to limited RV hook-ups (gray water, fresh water, electric), yurt & trailer rentals, to a beautiful home Airbnb. Only 5 miles drive to Hueco Tanks & 20 miles from East El Paso. Quiet nights with low light pollution for amazing stargazing opportunities!
ScoutActually, I miss the tiny fishing trip to these places but my friends talk to me. He said these are worthy places to visit. I hope I can come here one day.
ScoutSuch a wonderful place. Clean, affordable. excellent wifi is provided. The site is clean and orderly. geometry dash meltdown
GuideA small RV park located in a perfect place on the West side of El Paso. Located just down the street is an excellent Mexican restaurant that has outstanding food.
RangerThis was supposed to be just a rest stop. We had so much fun and did so much mountaineering that we never rested! Climbed to the kiva cave and saw ancient pictographs and amazing wildlife. Nice clean sites with good power and water. Restrooms fine just a little dark. Staff was helpful and just awesome! Wi-fi available but not at our site. Signal too weak
TravelerWe came off season and it looked like everything was closed up but we found the primitive camping that we were looking for and then were greeted by the host within 5 minutes.
They allowed our stay since we are fully self-contained, with a porta potty and carrying our own water. Host is very congenial.
LegendThis is an amazing park. So many pictographs to find. This is a busy area for climbing/bouldering in the cooler months. Since this is a historical, archaeological, sacred area there are some extra rules to follow. Everyone must watch an informative video on the park and some areas are restricted. Campsites are relatively small but most have a picnic area, tent pads, and a driveway. Some sites are water and electric and some water only. Lots of wildlife in the park. About 15-20 minutes to major stores and restaurants. Lots to do in El Paso area. About 2 hours to Carlsbad or White sands. Negative note bathrooms are older and basic. Basically no shade at campsites. Cell service not great in camp area but rest of park was good for Verizon.
LegendWe 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.
ScoutMay is the time to go when no one else is there for tent camping! Pretty views and trails to explore. Even a cave up the hill a little ways to explore. I don’t have a problem with primitive camping when places like this offers gorgeous views and a peaceful place to sleep.
I was on my way to Austin TX from California to visit my daughter and this was a destination I had on the map along my car camping route. Apparently I was late (said they close at 5 but apparently they close sooner) to get into the gate for first come but a gentle sole of an angle ranger Caesar let me in as I promised to pay in the morning when the gift shop was open to take payment at 8 am. Long story short, he made my day and I would love to go back and visit again given the opportunity. Loved this setup of a hidden gem from city lights and noise.
RangerWell worth the long drive with plenty of drive-in spots. Gentle grades to get to the loops. We passed a few hike-in spots on our way to the Aztec Cave that looked great as well.
Our particular site had a gorgeous view down a valley close to the restrooms. We're told that the restrooms don't usually smell, but the we were there for race weekend, and we ended up packing up a day early to escape the downwind stink.
ScoutCalled the place multiple time….no return call….. found empty space with help of janitor….only to have place call to tell us to move that we were in someone’s spot….after we were set up. Terrible service!
GuideGreat small campground! Very clean and quiet. As driving in sites on right have more brush and are more shaded. Ones on left more open and flat, but have less shade. Rangers are helpful. Mandatory orientation and check in for hikes as they only allow so many people in at one time. Bathroom with showers very clean.
GuideArrived tired and looking forward to relaxing. You can only book one of 3 sites online at hipcamp.com. All 3 sites booked. Was heading to Walmart when I found another winery who let me stay for free. LaVina Winery near El Paso.
TravelerI got a day use pass online and showed up about 4pm hoping for a walk up tent spot. They were super friendly and got me a great spot for the evening.
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.
ScoutWent there with my family on our first camping trip. I loved it. We were graced with rain, which the awesome park rangers Matt and Mr Ochoa said would bring the place to life and it was so true! This site gifted my family with amazing memories.
GuideHueco 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.
