The best camping near Fort Hancock with climbing

·

Fort Hancock draws climbers for its rugged, sunbaked boulders and quiet desert sprawl. Hipcamp lists over 40 climbing-friendly campsites here, with prices starting at $20 and averaging $50 a night. You’ll find spots where campfires are allowed, plus showers and toilets—basic comforts that matter after a day on the rocks. Standout sites include True Explorer Hacienda (6 reviews), a favorite for its remote feel; Gleatherland Ranch (5 reviews), which puts you close to the best climbing routes; and Butler-Nash Ranch (4 reviews), a solid pick for wildlife-watching between climbs. Bring sturdy shoes, extra water, and a sense of adventure—the rocks here don’t hand out easy wins.
