Amazing stay here. Stayed for 4 days while exploring Carlsbad & Guadalupe Mountains. Very quiet, albiet some neighbors can be quite loud. Depends on who is with you. Restroom is clean and does not smell bad. Trashcans and shaded picnic tables are provided, as well as grills and stakes for smores. (these are provided).

Very quiet, albiet some neighbors can be quite loud. Depends on who is with you. Restroom is clean and does not smell bad. Trashcans and shaded picnic tables are provided, as well as grills and stakes for smores. (these are provided). Great view of the sunset & sunrise, with the guadalupe mountains towering in the distance. It was enjoyable watching the storms hammer the Guadalupes while my campsite was dry and warm. Highly recommend seeing any openings for this spot before paying for a campsite elsewhere.

Small parking-lot style campground on BLM land. Description: It has 5 RV sites and 6 tent sites and it’s been well laid out for traffic flow. This is desert land so there are no shade trees, with desert all around and a mountain range in the distance. Campsite #2? All the RV sites are gravel pull-through sites and they are all fairly level. The sites are fairly close together. Hookups: Dry camping... Small parking-lot style campground on BLM land.
