I enjoyed my time here, more planes passed over head than cars down Monticello rd. Looked like 4 sites were trashed though more were not. Always a shame to see. The road has a few rough spots but it's easy to get through for any rig i think. Good 3 bar Verizon coverage made it an ideal place to work. Was treated to howling wolves a few nights and mooing cows another night. Close to town but still very peaceful and beautiful.

We stayed for one night in a 35' motorhome with tow car. There is a nice big flat pull off to the left and another to the right when you turn onto monticello point rd. There are a few more 1-2 miles down the road. They seem to have been cleaned up since some of the earlier reviews. We stayed in the spot near the freeway on the left but could not hear any freeway noise at all. Cell service was great on t mobile, Verizon, and att. We had a few cow visitors about 100 feet away in the morning. We would definitely stop here again.

We were able to find a spot near the back. Pretty good roads with the exception of a few spots. Don't go down that hill if you have a trailer. After we set up, a few bees joined us for the duration of the stay. It was nice the first day, then the wind found us. Great solar! Some trash. There was a free dump & fill in Truth or Consequences, which is why we wound up here. Elephant Butte looked like a great place, but the State Park was closed to out-of-staters due to the pandemic.

Beautiful site. Easy access off the highway but then parts of the gravel road were really bumpy so we had to go slow. We came at night and it was hard to see where the spots were. We used Google maps in satellite mode and it looked like there were a bunch of little pulloffs, but those turned out to not be sites but erosion areas instead. Almost gave up but so glad we didn't. We drove down the road a little while more and found a spot. Would have been so much easier in the day time! We did have to unhitch to back out when we left - some spots were loops but those were all taken.
Only a couple other people here during the week between Christmas and New Years. Some cows wandering nearby. Beautiful mountains in the distance. Great sunsets. Very clean, minimal trash in the area. There's a big lake nearby but right now it's only open to NM residents. We went to the dam instead which was open to us, but underwhelming.

We both work remotely (thanks, Covid!) and require amazing reception on both Verizon and AT&T. This place did not disappoint! We both had 4 bars LTE, no booster required. It was super easy to access and we took the first site to the left once the road becomes gravel. The noise from the highway barely registered.
But most importantly, the view was beautiful. The clouds cleared to stunning mountain views. Because it’s all gravel (and level!), the morning rain didn’t make an impact.
I would absolutely stay here again for a longer period!

Flat, open spot with distant views of the mountains! We stayed in the pull through with the tires. Freeway noise wasn’t too bad and the road had fewer than 5 cars travel by during the day. Nearby Truth and Consequences has free dump station and shopping.

Great place to stop over night. We stayed at the second location just off the paved road and exit. More than Plenty of space for my 37ft TT. We quickly found a flat area. It’s seconds off of the highway. Even though the highway is just right there it was still dark enough to see all the stars and the Milky Way.

...but honestly that is all I can say about it. There is trash, graffitied trash and lots of glass. The road is very rough. I went about two miles, just wasn’t feeling it, found a place to turn around and left. As a woman traveling alone, it wasn’t somewhere I felt comfortable staying.

This was a nice, remote boondocking location in the Jornado del Muerto, yet right off I-25. The road was unmaintained black top with some potholes. There were two sites close to I-25. The one on the right had an abandoned truck camper in it, but plenty of space to park on the other side of it with the awning facing south away from the camper. The site on the left was decent. Further down the road, there was a site on the right with abandoned tractor tires. The best site was beyond that, at the coords given in the page header. All four sites were level pull-throughs, and would accomodate large rigs. Beyond that, there was a narrow cattle guard and fence with a back-up turn-around before it, and a small site on the left after the fence. The Benchmark atlas showed that that was still BLM land. I did not explore any further, but the road connects into the north end of Elephant Butte State Park.
I camped at the site on the left. It was large and level. The surface was gravel, with a small amount of broken glass and tire shreds. Although only 1,000 ft from the interstate, it was fairly quiet. That part of I-25 had little traffic, and only a handful of vehicles traveled the BLM road.
Verizon 4G service was excellent, with 5 bars, -78 dB, 25 Mbps down and 18 up.
I would have stayed 14 days, but it turned cold with a forecast no better for the next week, so I left for warmer weather. If I had stayed, I would have gone to Elephant Butte Lake State Park and paid the $8 day fee to get in to fill my water containers and dump my trash.
