1 night at Hart Ranch

Had a nice peaceful night of star gazing on Sherry’s land. The property is easy to find and just far enough away from Hwy 62 that traffic noise isn’t a problem. It’s just a short drive to either Guadalupe Mountains National Park or Hueco Tanks State Historic Site. Plenty to see and do in the area. Will definitely be back.

1 night at Annie’s Outpost

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.

1 night at Wild West Oasis

Nice big area with a great sunrise view. We loved staying the night and hope to rebook soon. Host has great communication and was quick to address any concerns. It’s definitely a perfect getaway area. 😊

Weekend Trip to Butler-Nash Ranch

Awesome spot, helpful hosts! Would recommend for a real desert experience.

1 night at Annie’s Outpost

This was a great place to pull over and stay the night. Right off 10, a little tricky to get to, so do it when it's light outside. We would stop again.

Weekend Trip to Gleatherland Ranch

Great overnight stay and very convenient location. We camped in our 19ft Roadtrek. Lots of other vans when we were there. We enjoyed our stay here.

3 nights at Gleatherland Ranch

It’s a peaceful place in a quiet area right next to Hueco Tanks State Park. I’ll stay again on my next visit.

1 night at Gleatherland Ranch

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!

Weekend Trip to Annie’s Outpost

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

1 night at Hart Ranch

The stars were amazing! It was great to get away from city lights. There were no utilities as expected. The site was level and easy to access. Just look for the wood sign with the address number. It blends in. We passed it and had to back up. There's no place to turn around.

1 night at Butler-Nash Ranch

What a beautiful night! The stars were bright and everywhere, the land was lovely, and we slept like babies in the silence. One of the most beautiful places we've boondocked! The host was friendly and got us to the right place quickly, it's not far from I-10, and we'd be delighted to stay again next time we're passing through.

2 nights at Gleatherland Ranch

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!!! Will be back, no question! 😄🙌

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. Learn more about this land: Primitive campsites offer nice views, solitude, and a small flat space to set up camp next to your vehicle. No shade, toilets (bring your own), or other amenities are provided at this time but are in the works. Sierra Blanca has mild winters and very hot summers but the desert can get cold at night. The weather is generally sunny but come prepared for changing conditions. This is not a commercial campground. Site is great for large groups. Larger RVs have trouble turning or parking so please no rvs over 26 ft. Bring your own toilet. Wildlife include rabbits and hares, javelina, woodcock, teal, sandhill crane, quail, pronghorn, mule deer, duck, dove, rattlesnake, rails, gallinules, and moorehens, toads and a variety of lizards.

Wild West Oasis

1 site · RV, Tent5 acres · 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.

View the eclipse! Challenge the bumpy road to escape society on raw mountain desert land to the middle of nowhere? Deer, horse, rabbit, hogs, etc. Camping under the stars, connecting to with nature, pick sage, mesquite, cactus and other naturally grown bushes and stones all you want! Cell signal! Peaceful. It is very important that the information here is also published on the ad or they could end up on a dead end road or a locked gate. There is a gate leading to the property, yet isn't locked....it's so that the cows will not escape so it's important that it is noted to close the gate behind them. That gate is also the best entrance to the property. Also, an AWD or 4X4 is recommended yet, not necessary.

Before driving to one of our properties using our GPS coordinates for guidance, be sure that you understand which system your handheld GPS navigation system is set up to use. On this website we use the traditional Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS) system. Your device can probably be set to use any of the commonly used systems. It will have to be set to use the Degrees Minutes Seconds system in order to be consistent with our coordinates, or if you wish to use a different system such as Degrees Decimal Minutes or Decimal Degrees, we will be happy to convert our coordinates for you into whatever system you need. But it is crucial that you use coordinates that are consistent with the settings in your handheld navigation device. If your navigation device is not using the same system as the coordinates that you are using for reference, you will end up in the wrong locatio
