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. Please be aware of the 3 day cancellation policy. A full refund may initiated if you cancel at least 3 days prior to arrival. Thank you.

Nice and secluded out in the middle of nowhere, can camp anywhere in their big creosote flat. No real amenities but it's camping so you should have most things with you already.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.
