8. Wild West Oasis

21mi from Fort Bliss · 1 site · Tent, RV · El Paso, TX

Beautiful desert land with a view of Hueco Tanks State Park. This land is barely starting up so do not expect any glamping or 5 star facilities. There is electricity for RVs or window units for tents. There's also a porta potty. There is a little trash here and there but I am working on cleaning this place up. Be patient and enjoy it for what it is. All natural! Be safe, this is the desert and home to critters, spiders, horned frogs, lizards, ants, cayotes, and probably snakes although I haven't seen any. There is a little shed where you can cook, get some shade, or just relax. The mesquite trees are being worked on so they are not big enough to provide decent shade. Be safe, be smart and have water with you at all times. There is no water, and no showers. But I am working on it! This spot is perfect for those hip campers visiting Hueco Tanks and need a spot to park or rest. It's for hip campers that are used to primitive camping and also to the people in the city that want to get away for a night or two but not drive too far out. The sunsets and stargazing are amazing. Far from the city but close enough to a 10 min drive to a grocery store.

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.

Such a cool place. The description doesn’t do it justice. Well stocked with everything you need. The owners live nearby in case you have any problems. Very fast to respond & happy to help. Beds were comfy. I didn’t bring my dog but wish I had. It’s set with a doggy door & a small fenced area for them. We will definitely return.

13 nights at Secluded Mountain View Spot

We really enjoyed our time here. Although the space wasn’t wide enough to raise our awning much the benefit was shade and protection as the stationary RV on one side and shipping container on the other kept the wind and solar rays down. It is quiet and during our stay no one else was around. Gorgeous mornings in the valley with partially shaded walks along the canal from our site made the extra 5 minutes to town worth it.

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.

The kids and I enjoyed the camper and thought it was the neatest thing to stay in. I give it 5 stars because unlike other campers/RV places this one has a playground that even my 9 year old could play on. Also, the hospitality was all there with plenty of water bottles stocked in the fridge, coffee and extra batteries for the remotes. The coloring pages for the kiddos was the sweetest touch. Thank you for hosting us.
