Sacred Place

Hueco Tanks is truly a sacred place and the campground is serene. You enter Hueco Tanks knowing it’s something special, knowing it’s something special both culturally and physically. Humans have lived here for centuries due to the natural holes that hold rain water in the stone, and the Boulder caves that create natural shelters. We took the guided hike with the interpretive ranger (Nicole) and she was FABULOUS. We learned so much about the people’s who lived here before and their petroglyph art. We also learned that Hueco Tanks is a world-class bouldering site. The campground was small (20 spots) and lovely. We stayed here in April 2021 camping in our sprinter van at a site with electric hookups. Beautiful views, boulders, nature. Good privacy between sites. Sunrise was serene, feeling at one with nature and all who came before us in this special spot. When we were there is was quite chilly with strong winds - which made it hard for me some young campers who were staying at another site in tents. Even in our camper van we felt the jolt of the wind. That may have been an aberration or may be a regular thing. Beautiful, special spot. Highly recommend it.
