Pine Springs Campground

Perfect place to lay your head while you hike!! It's a parking lot,.. not a campground, but if you are there for hiking Guadalupe Mountains, then you can't get much better location. No service, no shower, yes they have toilet and water for jugs and back packs. Make sure if staying multiple days, you have all you need. No amenities close by. We did absolutely love the three days we stayed here. No... Perfect place to lay your head while you hike!! It's a parking lot,.. not a campground, but if you are there for hiking Guadalupe Mountains, then you can't get much better location. No service, no shower, yes they have toilet and water for jugs and back packs. Make sure if staying multiple days, you have all you need. No amenities close by. We did absolutely love the three days we stayed here. Not for the campsite, but for the hiking. It's epic!!! The Devil's Hall is harder than you would think, with miles of rock scrambling. The Guadalupe Peak Trail is one of the very best trails I've even done. Incredibly views the entire time. @new.roads.new.adventures

When I arrived at Pine Springs Campground, I found my reserved campsite had a tag saying it was already booked for May 28–29. Confused, I called Recreation.gov. They confirmed it was under my name and told me to go ahead and use it. The person on the phone could not answer why there is a tag that says this place is reserved; even though I had booked it online earlier. I set up camp and cooked dinn...

They confirmed it was under my name and told me to go ahead and use it. The person on the phone could not answer why there is a tag that says this place is reserved; even though I had booked it online earlier. I set up camp and cooked dinner. After the storm, the rainbow over the Guadalupe Mountains was massive, one of the most incredible I’ve ever seen. I crawled into my tent early. That night, in the quiet of the mountains, I finally got the rest I’d been needing. Overall lovely experience.

This is not a campground. It’s a trailhead tight parking lot they charge you to sleep in. (The tent area looked nice but for walk in tents only.) 2 toilets that you share with the busy hiking trails so they are gross and were not cleaned the 3 nights while we were here. (One was out of order) Someone went and closed the bathroom like they were cleaning it, but there was still a black ring on the t... This is not a campground. It’s a trailhead tight parking lot they charge you to sleep in. (The tent area looked nice but for walk in tents only.) 2 toilets that you share with the busy hiking trails so they are gross and were not cleaned the 3 nights while we were here. (One was out of order) Someone went and closed the bathroom like they were cleaning it, but there was still a black ring on the toilet and no toilet paper in the thing. Just stacked up on top of it. No power outlets in the bathroom. No showers, no dump station, no water fill. There is a water bottle fill up but even my husband with no sense of smell said the water smells like bathroom. I called ahead of time to make sure they had a dish dishwashing station. They said yes, I arrived that same day to find it out of order. Check ioverlander and stay at the free pull offs! I usually don’t leave bad reviews. I just don’t return to a place but this was so disappointing I had to share. Alsooooo the site we booked had a low tree and we absolutely couldn’t fit with our 10’ 5” tall tiny truck camper. The guy next to us had a tiny truck camper and he also couldn’t fit in his spot because of the tree so he was over the line in the other spot. So I don’t know how any rv/high van would fit in that/those spots. People come in and out at all times to use the trailhead so headlights are constantly being shined in your camper because you’re literally sleeping in a parking lot. 2 feet away from the next camper. Beautiful views from the parking lot and easy access to the trails. Definitely not a multiple night destination unless you’re tent camping. No shade but we were here in the winter so sun was nice
