Lots to do

The owner of the property is a great host! Awesome tent sites, bath house, lots of cool trails.

Felt exposed but it works

I pulled up to a park looking for a campground only to realize that the park IS the campground. There are a few campers parked around here but im the only one who set up a tent. I feel a little exposed setting up and sleeping in a tent in a park right behind the gas station and across the street from some residential trailers but it’s the last camp spot in New Mexico before you hit Texas if you’re going east on I-40. The bathrooms are really clean. There’s streetlights that flood the park with a soft light and there are picnic tables. Not the best, but it works! It’s pretty windy. Best thing about it is it’s free.

Always a good experience

We had a tent site. This is my second time camping at this location and it’s a bit less natural but the amenities make up for it. Super friendly staff and beautiful mountains to gaze at. Nice and quiet at night aside from the occasional 18 wheelers passing by. Very nice bathrooms and showers. Laundry units. Great experience for $30 a night! 

Beautiful!

Not far from the highway. You’ll see a big rock formation on your right and a dirt road leading to it. There are a few camp sites in this area. Beautiful view of the stars and an amazing sunset. Keep a compass if you’re exploring the area at night. Walked out into the desert about a mile exploring and I think an inexperienced hiker could easily lose their sense of direction. Be weary of wildlife!! Came across a rattle snake and a tarantula!! Very gorgeous site!!

Cozy and quiet.

Tent camping at site 23. $20 for a tent site ($40 for a double site). Cool area to explore. Fire pit and a faucet with a bucket. Bathrooms close by. $5 for a bundle of wood. Nice little spot!
