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?
BURN BAN IN EFFECT: Unfortunately, we are under a countywide burn ban.

We also explicitly request that our guests not bring any drugs or alcohol on the site--this is a dry listing--we don't like drugs and alcohol, they bring demons, and we don't like demons.
Also, we support the Second Amendment, but ask that our guests not discharge firearms on the site unless it's an emergency.
We love dogs, but if your dog is big and aggressive, not very obedient, and potentially dangerous to other people, kids, and small pets, we ask that you keep your buddy on a leash and make sure that he/she doesn't get into trouble. Thanks.

Basecamp Guadalupe at Rancho Pancho is a private 180-acre desert property defined by open space, native yucca, roaming wildlife, and a rare sense of quiet. This is classic West Texas desert, wide horizons, long sightlines, and a stillness that becomes part of the experience.
Located near the base of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, the property is designed as a true basecamp for outdoor exploration. Guests typically spend their days hiking nearby trails, exploring the land on foot, or visiting surrounding natural highlights, then return in the evening to rest, reset, and enjoy the desert at a slower pace.
The land itself invites simple, self-guided activities:
Walking the property and observing native desert plants
Watching light and shadow move across the landscape
Sitting outside at sunset and under the stars
At night, the absence of light pollution reveals exceptionally dark skies, making stargazing a central part of the stay. Evenings are quiet and expansive, defined by wind through yucca, distant wildlife movement, and long stretches of stillness.

Basecamp Guadalupe offers a small collection of thoughtfully placed accommodations, including a cabin and RV stays. Each accommodation is described individually, but they share a common philosophy:
Privacy and space over density
Comfort without excess
Independence rather than full service
Guests experience the desert without owning land, building infrastructure, or maintaining an RV or cabin. They simply arrive, settle in, and live lightly on the land.
While the setting is remote, each stay includes essential comforts appropriate to its location, allowing guests to experience the desert without sacrificing rest, warmth, or basic convenience.
What to Expect
This is a quiet, remote property, best suited for guests who value:
Silence over stimulation
Open space over crowds
Experience over excess
Self-guided days and restful nights
There are no crowds, no shared indoor facilities, and no scheduled activities. The experience is intentionally simple and independent, allowing guests to shape their time around nature, weather, and personal rhythm.

3 nights at Good Guad Land Co.
This was the perfect desert stay! We were really cozy and protected from all the high winds, and had super easy access to the National Park. It was also nice because it would get cold at night and then warm up for the evening when we got back. Once this container has power I think it will be even more ideal even through the summer too!

Host had great communication! The campsite was easy to access and conveniently located close to the road. You can hear some cars but the road gets quieter as the night goes on. Worked great for our one night stop on the way to the nearby national parks!

This was a very remote site. Directions were very clear and access from highway was decent. The road I was a little rutted but no problem with standard clearance on our trailer. The night sky was amazing for star gazing. Perfect distance to Guatemala and St Cruces. Thank you for sharing this slice of heaven.

We had a great experience camping at jays land, I would highly recommend to camp here or even rv camping. And the bathroom and shower were really clean. We can’t wait to come back and camp again.

This was a nice campground, connections worked well and even had a good Mountain View from our site. There is nothing in this area so if you are staying out here this might be the best rv location for several miles. We will stay here again when we go back to Guadalupe.

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.

This is my second stay here! Jay is a fabulous host and he has gone above and beyond with the campsites to name them unique and cool wirh the bronze animals and lantern lights and super clean nice bath house. Not only is the hospitality great , the views of the Guadalupe mountains are stunning with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Perfect place to stay if you are visiting Carlsbad , Guadalupe Mountains, and White Sands National Parks.

The park is new and currently has 12 full hook-up sites, with more being constructed.
There are animal sculptures and elegant lighting, a laundry house with two top-load washers, two dryers, a detergent machine and change machine. The owner, Jay, is as nice as his park.
And the best part is, it is waaay out there.
About 9 miles from Dell City (Pop 220, with a small "grocery" and a couple small restaurants.
I think I saw one or two places for gas/diesel.
At $30/night, $175/week, it is a bargain.

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.

We had an excellent time staying here for a night. We were passing through and spending a day at Guadalupe, so this site was perfect for three folks in one truck with two tents. We found the site easily, quickly set up on good flat ground, and enjoyed a lovely sunset. 10/10 would return!
