Summary
There are no toilets, water sources, fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups, making it a primitive, pack-in, pack-out experience. RVs may access the area with caution due to rough roads. Set in a high desert landscape dotted with junipers and wide-open skies, the area offers solitude and scenic views. It’s close to the popular Guadalupe Mountains trails and is ideal for stargazing. Best visited in fall or spring when temperatures are milder, Juniper Flats 1 appeals to experienced, self-sufficient campers seeking remote wilderness.

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.
