Aguirre Spring Campground

This was our second time to Aguirre and we loved it just as much as the first time we were here last fall. The sites are private, and every single site has an amazing view. There is easy access to hiking trails and clean restrooms. In addition, each site has its’ own trash bin and gazebo. We use this spot as a jumping off point to see White Sands Natl Park, Las Cruces and El Paso, TX. We were a few minutes late entering the gate, which is locked at 8pm, and the camp host was super understanding about letting us in. I like that we can hike with our dog on the trails. Site 13 has a secret mammalian skull nestled in the area, but we only had good luck here. There is fresh water for canisters near the camp host. We love this place and will be back.

Great location. 45 min from White Sands NP and maybe 30 min back to Las Cruces.

There are a couple of GREAT hiking trails within the park. Clean pit toilets.

We personally liked A loop better than B loop. Once you leave A loop to go to B loop however, you have to drive 15 min back around to A loop. So if you see something you like in A loop... take it.

We arrived mid afternoon on Sunday in April. A lot of locals use the campsites for day use gatherings. If you time it right early evening on the weekend... some great spots open up as the locals leave. Only vans/tents/trucks campers and small trailers can make the trek into the campground. It’s all paved, but a couple of tight corners on the one way loop road.

There is a camp host about three miles from the campground on the way in. You can get water there. May need a 30 foot hose however.

AT&T service was great with the mobile booster. No problem working or streaming.

Ok. Found another gem! First come first served BLM land about 30 miles west of White Sands, NM. I'm all the way at the top of the campground! Very narrow twisty turny access road up the mountain, but was paved and in perfect condition. While usually free, BLM charges $7 bucks a night due to the services they provide. Gates close at 6 pm winter/spring and 8pm in the summer. They have 2 spots to pay and get your permit before you go in. If you miss them, you got make the loop down and up the mountain again..... The mountains behind me are 8,500 ft amsl, I'm probably at 6,500. My rig is 27' and I probably would not want anything bigger. Had a park is full sign in the valley b4 drive up. I was bummed out, but decided to go see anyway, since it was Easter and I saw tons of people leaving when coming in. Glad I did. There were tons of spots open! They have 55 spots. Talked to the BLM camp host and he said go grab a spot and that he forgot to take down the sign! This place is very cool. VZW and AT&T 4G LTE service, a water fill Station, bathrooms, bear box, dumpster, covered picnic tables, fire rings and grills.
And of course the view which is priceless. Neighbors are a tad close for BLM, but not bad at all for what you get. It was Easter weekend and given how close Las Cruces and El Paso are, there were a lot of day use folks just having get togethers.....
if you show up and its full...I would suggest waiting it out if you really want a spot.. it really clears out in the late afternoon. Great jump off point to go visit White Sands NP. Which if I don't stay another night here, I'll be visiting tomorrow. Just absolutely Outstanding.

Great stop outside of Las Cruces and 45 min to White Sands NP. Hiking trail up to mountains at the campground (pine tree loop trail). We were able to do school and work with enough service here and the vistas and sunsets were just perfect. Big winds through the night, but we loved our stay! Winding road was ok for 30’ trailer but not for much longer than that!

Beautiful drive to get to the campground, views in the morning are amazing! Light pollution from Las Cruces meant the night sky wasn’t completely clear but it was still beautiful!! Easy walk to a clearly marked 4 mi trail nearby.

Each campground has a fire pit and a separate grill. I believe all also have a covered picnic table. About 10 of the spots could have fit our 25ft class C but there were more that could accommodate a small trailer/tent and car. If in a motorhome/trailer bring leveling equipment!!

Only downside we had was that the sites can be a bit close to one another, but it varies.

This campground has a very beautiful view and very cute animals. They are cows, deer and a lot of beautiful birds. The access to this campground is not recommended for 25ft+ Rvs because there is a lot of turns on the road. There is also some beautiful trails that you can access from your own campsite. There is not much internet but if you have a good setup you’re good. I recommend.
