Chosa Primitive Campground

This review should be taken with a grain of salt if you don’t need a cell signal for anything. My wife and I work remotely, and the signal isn’t bad when it is 100% sunny. That being said, this entire area is rendered to nearly no service when clouds roll in (even in the city of Carlsbad), and I’m guessing it is even worse in a thunderstorm or raining. Originally planned to stay here 2 weeks, but a few clouds came in today and we almost couldn’t work at all. Overall everyone spaced out well and the site is pretty level other than some larger rocks in piles, so if you don’t work remotely this is a great boondocking location. Just thought I would be honest about cell signal, as I didn’t see any warning about how unstable it can be if the weather is anything other than sunny, which will cost us in an unforeseen RV park stay to deal with it!

We stayed 2 night here so we could visit Carlsbad and Guadalupe Mountains NPs. It was our first time boondocking, and it went very smoothly. The parking area is very clean and has a large dumpster in the corner. It wasn't too crowded. Several other campers were here but it's a large enough space that it didn't bother us. It was pretty windy though.

This large flat site (basically like a parking lot) was fairly crowded when we arrived, but we had no trouble squeezing in. The views are amazing and the location is convenient as it sits between Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains. There are no restrooms, so be aware of that. The place is super clean so I want to thank all our fellow travelers for being respectful of the land. You might hear a bit of road traffic and the RVs run their generators. Great spot for an overnight.

This was the perfect location to stay for visiting Guadalupe Mountains NP and Carlsbad Caverns NP. There was a large trash bin, plenty of room and it was fairly easy to find. Quiet, lots of stars above. Cell signal good. It was really windy, though, especially at night. We pulled our slide in while we were gone and for 2 of the nights. Our solar panels were moved about 10 feet by the wind while we were gone one day!

Family of 5 in 42’ 5th wheel. Stayed here for two nights while exploring Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe NP (highly recommended doing both). Large open lot off of the main road. Can be a little windy but it has great views. Large dumpster available. Stayed Fri-Sun plenty of space. Probably about 20 different rigs and tents. Sprint and Verizon worked well.

Just a clean, hard-packed gravel lot 5 miles south of Whites City. We drove past it the first time in our motorhome but made a U turn and saw the signs for County Road 424, near milepost 9 on US 62. Coming from El Paso, it will be on your right, about 1/4 mile from the highway. There was a large garbage dumpster on site. I think you can stay 14 days for free here.
