Wes’s campsite is awesome! It’s in an incredible location, I got there after dark and woke up to the most insane view. Its well marked and easy to find, and I felt safe with the locked gate.

Just south of Guadeloupe National Park and its peaks. Beautiful. Others have mentioned Hwy 62 noise, which is "always there," but not a real detriment to the desert experience. Basically we loved the site/experience. Wes was very helpful in advance of our stay. I would say that I may not understand the fire ban. I do "fire ecology," and at that site, if folks bring their own firewood, I see little chance for problem even with high wind. There were even some decent fire pits already built. But people with more local knowledge would know way better. For future campers, the entrance gate may be a challenge. I work at a federal site where fence gates may have 3-4 different locks that reflect different users. At Good Guad I think I counted 16-17 locks at the gate. Maybe all necessary?? Don't know. I do know it would be confusing for many folks. So Wes, maybe provide a little more info to campers on what to expect at the gate?
Overall a GREAT night! Wes helped us in advance about arrival time, reservation, etc. Very clean sites. Totally recommend it. If you find trash from previous campers, pick it up.

The camp is right off the highway in a beautiful location. It has an amazing view of the surrounding location and Guadalupe Peak and provided an incredible sunset/sunrise experience. It was the perfect combination of feeling private and remote while still being right outside the National Park. I highly recommend this spot and will be saving for future trips.

Beautiful location- nothing like sunrise & sunset with El Capitan in view. Glad we arrived pre-sunset which is definitely recommended. Better views than BLM land nearby. We hiked Guadalupe peak and drive was <20 min in total.

Great spot to for a an overnight or two of visiting the nearby National Parks. The picnic tables were spaced far enough away so you didn’t feel close to any neighbors. Was clean and exactly what we needed.

This site is right off the highway, but it feel remote with open skies and views of El Capitan and Guadalupe Peak. The sunsets are unreal and we enjoyed our stay out here away from the crowds.

Great spot! Highly recommend if you can't get a spot at the park. Highly recommend a vehicle with some clearance if going here.

Had the best experience! We had the campground by ourself and felt safe! I love the views of the Guadalupe Mountains and how close we were to the park. Did hear the noise of cars passing by on the highway but it helped me fall asleep so I didn’t mind.

What an awesome location to relax, walk and take beautiful photos. If I lived closer, I think I would regularly go for a couple days just to enjoy the scenery.

I can not say enough about Good Gaud locations and Wes. My first day was at the 4WD spot. It is named 4WD for a reason. Do not attempt in a 2WD or a low clearance vehicle. As you are driving the trail back to it you may have to improvise at certain points due to washouts and ruts. Watch the weather. There are two ravines you will cross and I would imagine a downpour would leave you stranded until the water subsided. For this reason I got with Wes and move to the spots closer to the road the second day because of the increased rain chances. These spots have just as good of a view and the spots are spaced far enough apart. These are very accessible to any low clearance 2WD vehicle. As far as the road noise from the highway. Yes you will hear it but really not that noticeable and starts to die down around 5:00 pm. Overall, I would rate this as one of the best primitive spots I have stayed on HipCamp. Thanks again Wes for letting us use your property and you were great with the quick responses.

Perfect place for RTT camping at Guadalupe Mountains!
The national park only allows tent and RV camping, and Wes’s property is a great location with enough space to park your Vehichle and have enough room for setting up camp. The views of El Capitan are incredible, and is a great thing to wake up to before the big hike!
The only thing to consider before you go camp out near the park is the weather. The area is out in the open, so make sure you plan your trip accordingly.
Wes is super responsive and supportive. Prices are reasonable. You gotta book the campsite!

We really enjoyed camping here with our rooftop tent over our truck! The views were insane! Really beautiful and quiet spot, only some minimal road noise. Highly recommend if you want the dispersed camping vibes!

We ended up booking this spot super last minute. Sun was already going down once we arrived, but didnt have any issues finding the entrance or campsite. There's a picnic table on site, some solar lights around the campsite parameter, and the tent sites are soft enough you wont have any trouble driving your stakes down. Like others have mentioned, you can hear the highway noise some, so bring earplugs if youre an extremely light sleeper. The noise didnt bother me any and never woke me up throughout the night. Great views of the Guadalupe Mountains, and not too far from the visitors center.
