Alamo Canyon Primitive Campground

unless you have a big rig or want the amenities of the big campground definitely try to stay here! only about 5 spots in this area and they are not very big but the Alamo Canyon area is so cool! definitely a plus to have a pit toilet there with TP. park ranger said once it hits 100 most people start headin out and there usually is space. Both nights I stayed there 1 other party took another spot in the area but was very quiet. can't see the sunrise over the canyon but amazing sunsets to the west. easy access gravel road to the area. Even a short 1 mile trail starting near the bathroom. was very clean, plenty of trash cans in the area and no trash on the ground. On top of that amazing star gazing! had a couple bars of service for most of it but spotty.

Stayed here on Easter Sunday night. Arrived around 3p. 2 spots were already taken. By 4pm, all four were occupied.

You’re surrounded by cactus and mountains. Honestly, one of our favorite secluded campgrounds anywhere. Sunset was gorgeous, stars are great! It’s right at the Alamo Canyon trailhead. Nice easy 1.8 mile out and back.

Spot cost us $12. There is a pay box right in the campground. I believe you also have to pay for Organ Pipe National Monument access as well... but if you have a NP Annual Pass you’re covered.

Each spot has BBQ and picnic table. Pit toilet wasn’t the worst we’ve ever seen.... but also not the cleanest. AT&T would occasionally get one bar of 3g with the booster. Just enough to occasionally refresh email. The gravel road in is about three miles long, not too bad. Occasional bumps and washboards but not a huge deal.
