Dry camping, BLM. Near Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe National Park. GoogleMaps wanted to bring us the wrong way. The correct way to enter Dillahunty Road (at GPS 32.0911332,-104.4357585) from National Parks Hwy (U.S. Hwy 62). Big Rig friendly. No problems with my 45’ Tag Axle Motorhome flat towing a Jeep Wrangler. It really just... more

We camped here for nights while we explored Carlsbad and Guadalupe Mountain National Parks.
Good location, close to both parks, very quiet, only a few other campers while we were here.

Large open leveled area. Plenty of space for many rigs but we camped with no more than three on any given night. Met great neighbors here! 15 minutes to the caverns and a half hour to Guadalupe Mountains. Perfect Boondocking! Doesn’t get much better!

Only downfall was the harsh winds during the night that blew sand into our tent. Otherwise a great experience!

We were told about this campground by a local rancher who referred to it as "the new campground at mile marker 9". This place looks brand new as of Jan 2019. Simple - just a cleared flat lot surrounded by a pipe fence, but the location was great to Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mtns NP, you have a view of the ridge, and it is free! St... more
