us 62 rest area

This Texas roadside rest area provides 24-hour overnight parking for RVs and cars, but tent camping is prohibited. Located just five minutes from McKittrick Trailhead and Guadalupe Mountains National Park's visitor center, the facility features level paved parking, clean flush toilets, covered picnic tables, and a grassy pet area. Traffic noise from Highway 62 carries throughout the site, though parking behind the picnic shelters reduces the sound somewhat. The area stays brightly lit at night and offers views of the Guadalupe Mountains. Big rigs can access the spacious parking area, and Pine Spring Rest Area sits just a tenth of a mile away for additional overnight options.

Great Outside NP RV Overnight Parking Area

If Guadalupe Mountains National Park Pine Springs camping sites are full, this is great free alternate overnight parking site less than 10 miles away. Nearly level paved parking with clean flush toilets and sinks. Covered picnic tables. Exhibits inside the building. Plenty of parking... for cars, RV's and big rigs. Bring ear plugs for road noise. Stayed the night with two other RV's... and no big rigs.
