Tucked away at the base of the Organ Mountains about 30miles north of Las Cruces; are 55 assorted and well maintained campsites. Clean pit toilets. Easy pay station ($7 per night). The road in off hwy 70 is about 5 miles to the sites but it’s worth the drive. Amazing views.

Beautiful view but wind warning out so these gusts are going to be unsettling. Saw a couple other campers here.
After getting up the mountain there a sign to the camping loop. We went in that way since it seemed like the only way in. That was a good route.

Beautiful campground. Most sights have a parking spot and then the table, shelter, ect 15 -20 ft. away. BLM $7/ night

Stunning campground and so affordable. $7 per night. Ample spots to choose from. Clean pit toilets and water at the camp host’s station before the campground. Gate to enter closes at 6 pm. Beautiful trails right from the campground. Highly recommend.

Yet another review… 🙄
To clarify yes the gate is apparently gets locked to come in, (we didn’t go down to check) but there is a one way tire shredder at the exit so you can depart anytime, gate locked or not.

Rather full campground, but we were here Saturday and Sunday. One generator in ear shot—it is a campground. 😐
Road in is fine, and leads to campground. Sure it’s steep and windy but it’s all paved.

A nice BLM campground. Still $7.

Spent 7 nights here in my minivan. Such an amazing value for 7$ especially if you are familiar with camping in the desert.
Hiked the Pine Tree Trail loop would highly recommend going if you are staying a couple nights.
Would definitely stay again!

The views here are amazing. My recommendation is if you need water, get it before you enter the campground. It's about 4 miles from the campsite at the park ranger area. It's labeled, I'm pretty sure it's well water. Try to have 7 dollars in cash too, it makes paying easier. I had a great stay, it was nice and cool and the other campers were super friendly and helpful.

This campsite is an amazing find! With a long, narrow, winding road in, big rigs really can’t get to this place. Of the 30 something sites, only six were occupied. Surrounded by gorgeous mountains, beautiful, well-maintained sites, and lots of bathrooms and trash bins. Multiple trailheads originate at campsite. This place is a steal at seven dollars per night.
Cons: Entrance is locked at 8 PM so you can’t enter or leave, roads are very complicated with some one-way and some two-way and signage is terrible. The water source is 4 miles back down the winding road and is on the other side of the previously-mentioned locked gate.

Beautiful sunsets and morning light over looking the White Sands Missile Range.
Campground was pretty full but everyone was quiet and respectful

Fantastic little rustic campground, quiet and beautiful views. Paved road up but very windy with sharp curves. Can’t beat $7 a night. Clean pit toilets and covered picnic area at each site. There is a self registration at the entrance of the camping area. Would come back for sure.

Great views of mountains and valleys. A bit rainy and cloudy but a great spot. Easy to find a spot on Sunday. With national park pass only $3.50

it's beautiful. the sites all have picnic tables with shade. the nights can get cold and windy.

Nice campground. Still $7, very reasonable. Self checkin, but camphost lives nearby and actively enforces payment (and it is worth the $7). Clean pit toilets. No water. Two really nice trails. Cell reception was ok to poor. Starlink worked great despite the mountains.

Nice campground with pit toilets. Beautiful s scenery, can’t beat the $7/night price.

Site 22. Very quiet spot. Each site has picnic table with overhead shade. Backdrop of the mountains.

Report Check-In

Nice location up against the Organ Mountains. Two trailheads are in the campground. Day use or camp fees. Lots of birds and wildlife here including many reports including myself of seeing rattlesnakes in the trails. A golden retriever was bit the day I arrived. Be cautious. Site The whole area is on a slant so done sites need some leveling. Not busy midweek but heard it fills on popular weekends. Each site has a shelter, fire ring and bbq. Excellent even with the small fee. AT&T good LTE, Verizon LTE weak during the day

Stayed here to escape a 30 mph ssw wind/dust storm on the other side of the organ mountains, it was much calmer here! This spot is listed as not big-rig friendly, but the paved, winding road was no problem to navigate in our 26ft rig, I think 5th wheels and trailers might have more of an issue with some of the hairpin turns. Finding a level spot might be a little tricky, definitely a lot more spots for tenters. We stayed in site 9, easily fit our rig and were able to back in comfortably and level out easily. From what I could tell on the upper loop, sites 9,13,14,26,&28 looked relatively level and able to fit rigs up to about 30ft

Beautiful campsite! We stopped here for a night before checking out White Sands NP. Lots of trails and rocks to explore.

Description was accurate. Can pay with cash or check ($7 to camp) through their envelope system.

Pit toilets were fine and had toilet paper.

Open and wonderful. Spent the night with owls and grey foxes and the mountains views are great. 3.50 per night if you have a national parks pass

Up a winding road a beautiful view awaits. The sunrise is what it's about. Little noisy but it is Thanksgiving weekend. $7 is a small price to pay.

Long and winding road to got here, worth every turn. Small, primative sites, most with beautiful views.

currently closed. I dont know why. signage implied it'd temporary.

Really awesome campground with incredible views! We called the surrounding mountain peaks “the Dolomites of New Mexico”. Lots of spots in campground for $7, we had a nice secluded spot. Overlooking the missile range but there was no activity while we were there. Paved roads, bathrooms, picnic tables, pavilions at each site and fire pits/grill. 40 mins from White Sands NP

This campground is very scenic and is better suited for tent campers, overland rigs, or small rv/trailers like what we have. There is a sign at the start of the road towards camp that states the maximum trailer size that can safely travel down the road is 23’. The road in isn’t anything too wild, just take your time and don’t bring a 5th wheel into the campground. The campsites themselves are hit or miss. I’d say over half of them have incredible views of the basin down below. Some sites are back in while others are simple pull offs of the main camp road. Therefore, some sites have a lot more or less privacy than others. If you pull a trailer or drive an rv larger than 25’ I think you will really struggle finding a site to fit in. One last note, we arrived on a Sunday, and there were many locals using the campsites to have picnics and they played music while enjoying their picnic. Nothing wild, but due to the close proximity of Las Cruces, I’d imagine the area can get busy on the weekends. I’d stay here again for sure!

Report Check-In

Definitely worth $7. Lots of spots, all with their own sense of privacy. Relatively clean pit toilets. Close to several trailheads. Almost every spot had a charcoal grill, fire ring, and shaded area with a picnic table. It was very windy when we were there so we weren’t able to spend much time outside. Difficult to get level ground if you’re sleeping in your vehicle but we could have probably done better if we put in a bit more effort.

Report Check-In

Gorgeous views! Can be very difficult to find a level spot, especially with the risk of going too far and having to drive the one way loop again.

Stayed 2 nights. Beautiful but very windy one night. We had a pop up so not a problem but I noticed that people with tents seemed pretty miserable. Would definitely stay again

Beautiful! Was cold for our visit. Will be back when warmer.

Website says “gate is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. April to October and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. October to April.” I rolled in after 6, drove the 3 miles down the road only to find the gate was indeed closed. The sign after entering off freeway warns the road in is narrow and windy and not recommended for trailers over 23’.

beautiful place. everyone else pretty much summed it up.

Great area. Careful are the road is very narrow and windy, though paved. Lots of spots, make sure to check out the more secluded spots just past the large main camping area. All spots have a shelter, trash grill and garbage. The two nearby trails are beautiful day hikes as well.

Beautiful camping, pit toilets, multiple level sites. In the winter, the gate closes at 6pm.

Beautiful views, a really wonderful campground. Some sites were not so level. was about 1/3 full on a cool Thanksgiving weekend. Nice hikes starting from the campground.

Stayed two nights, one of our favorite campgrounds in New Mexico. The sign says that the gate closes at 6pm in winter but we rolled in almost at midnight and it was open. Very nice campground host, clean bathrooms, gorgeous views. Can get very windy with the Organ Mountains there.

Absolut Great View. Also 7$ and more then 30 Places. No Generators. Quiet than. 4 Bars t-Mobile.

Due to the government shutdown, the campground was closed. We stayed out front as other overlanders have done. It was our loudest night camping ever—caused by wind. I don’t think I’d stay here again, despite it being beautiful.

One of our favorite non-diapered sites in New Mexico

Unfortunately we arrived too late to get into the campground. In the summer they close the gate at 8pm. We parked on some gravel outside the gate where the camp hosts live. We were joined by another camper in the night. We spoke to the camp hosts in the morning who had no issue with us staying there and were in fact very lovely. They said they don’t know why the gate is locked at night, perhaps because it goes through a private ranch. They said I was fine to have stayed where we did as it’s on BLM land. So if you find yourself arriving late just stay there. It was very beautiful.
