The best camping near Santa Teresa with hiking

·

Santa Teresa draws hikers with its rugged terrain and wide desert views. You’ll find over 70 camping options here that put hiking trails right at your tent flap, with prices starting at $21 and an average night at $45. Trailheads cut through mesquite and cacti—watch for jackrabbits at dawn. Campsites like Ray & Lucille's place (78 reviews), La Vina rd (64 reviews), and Spur-C Desert Oasis #1 (52 reviews) get high marks from campers. Expect basics like toilets and fire rings, plus pet-friendly rules. You’ll spot climbers working the rock outcrops, and wildlife-watchers scanning the horizon for hawks. Pack water, sturdy boots, and sun protection—the trails don’t give much shade out here.

Leasburg Dam State Park has the most breathtaking views on the Rio Grande! Fish off the side of your canoe while the sun sets behind the mountains, blazing the sagebrush red and orange. Explore the trails and watch for birds and wildlife, or take your camera over to the cactus garden for those classic southwestern shots. There’s lots of campgrounds to rest up when the day is over, but you won’t wanna miss the show after the sun goes down. Leasburg Dam has an observatory and for good reason; the night sky out here is second to none and the park often offers Night Sky programs and walks. This is a win-win for those looking for fun and beauty on the water.
