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.

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.

This place was fabulous! We were the only campers there during our stay and we enjoyed it so much! The land is gated, and my 11 year old son and I both felt really safe. We had wonderful views of El Capitan and the Guadalupe mountains and excellent stargazing. The highway noise was a little loud, but worth it for the experience. Thanks!!

Simple campsite, great if you just need a spot to pitch a tent with a nice view and can do without material comforts like running water and toilets.
