Pine Springs Campground — Guadalupe Mountains National Park
Reviewed Jan. 12, 2021

Cozy Spot to Camp

Dates: 12/30/2020

Vehicle: Dodge Caravan

Camp Setup: 2 Person Tent

The Pine Springs camp sites are amazing! Each camp site is tucked away amongst trees and cacti, creating something of a mini-interpretive trail just getting to your site. This provided some much appreciated seclusion and privacy from other campers, but was not overly inconvenient for unpacking or using facilities. When we arrived, it was snowing, creating an absolutely magical atmosphere!

The campground includes plenty of parking for campers, as well as a few restrooms at the end of campground road.

As others have noted, the campground is currently first-come-first-serve. We arrived late morning (11 am or so), and most of the spots were already taken by that point. It was snowing and near freezing, so I can imagine that the spots go even quicker in better weather. 

I've stayed at campgrounds in other National Parks (Glacier, Zion, Bryce Canyon), and this is by far my favorite thus far. Very highly recommend!
