Located just 2 miles off I-10, 8 miles to the West of Sierra Blanca, and 80 miles South/South-East of El Paso. This property is truly a part of the "OLD WEST". Sierra Blanca was named after Sierra Blanca Mountain, just North-West of town. The town came into existence when competing railroads for a second (Southern) transcontinental railroad line came within 10 miles of one another in 1881. Jay Gould, famous railroad magnate and robber baron, drove a silver spike commemorating the event on Dec. 15th 1881. The town sprang up around that spot, although the population didn't reach 350 people until 1914. It is best described as grazing land that is flat to slightly sloping terrain covered with desert sagebrush and grasses.

43mi from Fort Hancock · 1 site · Tent, RV
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.

Directions to camping spot are very clear! Was able to find late at night. Anna Mae is super responsive if needed. The site was much quieter than I expected with close proximity to I-10 which was really nice since I was in a tent.

We had a view from all directions of mountians and rock formations. You really felt removed from the world out there. We had site 43 which had hookups ( we were communicated ahead of time that 50 amp may not work but 30 amps did fine would which was good for us) the site was a bit odd shaped for hookup but nice size and my Australian Shepherd enjoyed getting out and running a bit to release his Zoomies. It is very outside of El Paso and make sure you follow their directions they send and not your GPS. This was a great experience!

I booked this Hipcamp last minute after I couldn’t find one site I had booked. I am SO GLAD because this one was SO GREAT! The host responded promptly to my concerns. I had a hard time finding the site at first but eventually noticed that the pictures gave better landmarks. The site had solar lights to help navigate big divots in the ground (oh yeah, drive SLOW). The sky was unbelievable and the stars in the middle of the night were gorgeous. 15/10

I loved this RV/campsite!!!! Excellent all around! Tough place to keep a safe eye on younger kids, but above 10 years old is 👌!
Extremely cean bathrooms and wonderful, hot shower (bring $1 or $5 bills for shower - $1 = 1.5 min for shower 😉
The view is 💯.
Huge community fireplace with detailed instructions everywhere of their reasonable, self-responsibke expectations while on property. Soooo quiet out there!!!
