Camping near Whites City

·

From the soaring heights of the Guadalupe Mountains to the subterranean depths of Carlsbad Caverns, Whites City delivers one of the most stunning road-trip stops for campers in the United States. Trek through the network of caves in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, just west of Whites City. Back above ground in the Chihuahuan Desert, spot flowering cacti and kangaroo rats. Set up tent sites in the backcountry here, or check in at RV parks in town or dispersed RV camping on the neighboring Bureau of Land Management (BLM) territory. Driving 30 miles southwest of Whites City into Texas is Guadalupe Mountains National Park—another terrific option for RV and tent camping in the region. Developed camping areas offer amenities like potable water, flush restrooms, and picnic tables by pull-through RV sites for big rigs up to 55 feet in length. Soak in the starry nights and then hike the arduous Guadalupe Peak Trail to the highest natural point in Texas at over 8,700 feet above sea level.

Find extreme solitude and unforgettable views of Guadalupe Peak at this desert escape next to Guadalupe Mountains National Park! This is choose-your-own-adventure camping. The terrain is rugged, and the dust and wind blow some nights. Once you're here, there are zero amenities (other than picnic tables). If this sounds fine — you don't mind roughing it — you'll be sleeping under the stars at the foot of West Texas' tallest mountain range. And who else can say they've done that?
