Summary
Reservations are recommended and required for backcountry sites; fees range from $8–$10 nightly. Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings, and shade shelters; vault toilets are available, but there’s no potable water—bring your own. RVs are allowed at some sites (no hookups). Set in scenic Chihuahuan Desert terrain, the area offers rugged mountain views, starry skies, and access to popular trails like Ron Coleman and Aztec Cave. Best visited in fall to spring for cooler temperatures and vibrant desert landscapes.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
