Pine Springs Campground — Guadalupe Mountains National Park

Great backpacking basecamp

We passed through with out 27' camper and full-size truck for a couple of nights in the winter. Exploring this under-the-radar park was our main goal, and we were impressed by what we saw. The campground was, well, a parking lot.

A couple of trailheads leave from here, and backpacking is really what it's all about here. Biking wouldn't be much fun, as the only road into this area is SUPER steep and gets fast traffic. Proximity to the visitor's center is probably the biggest plus of this location. There's some decent birding here, if that's something you're into.

Otherwise, it's a cold, windy experience in the winter. Make sure you're ready for higher elevation and the temps that come with it.
