I honestly can’t get this Hipcamp property out of my mind. It is truly everything I could ever hope for in my van travels. Breathtaking spot with a perfect host. I am profoundly grateful and will without question return. Thank you so much, Larry, for sharing this gift with us all!!

This was my first Hipcamp stay! I stayed here by myself and had a great experience. Since it was my first time using Hipcamp I had a lot of questions and Larry always gave quick friendly and helpful responses. The Organ mountains are gorgeous. I loved the views I had from this property, which was easy to find with the directions given in the app. It made for a great affordable sleep on my way to White Sands the following day. Definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Organ Mountain Views

Good simple campsite with nice views of the mountains. Easy to get to, but it is pretty close to the road, so not a ton of privacy. Also, as noted in the description, there are large dump trucks traversing the road (even pretty late at night and early in the morning and even on the weekend). Not a big deal, but just something to be aware of if you are looking for something a little quieter.

This is a great spot, and Larry was super communicative! I found it with no issues based on the photos and GPS location. This site has gorgeous views of the organ mountains but is a quick drive to white sands and to Las Cruces. I’d stay here again!
