Perfect Perfect Perfect! Just what I needed for an overnight. Edgar was super responsive and even helped me out with a 30 amp adapter. I’ll stop again whenever I’m passing through

It’s a nice peaceful spot just far enough away from
I-10 but not too far. You get a great view of El Paso at night from Sally’s property.

I enjoyed my stay w Sally and the horses at SpurC I highly recommend her and her beautiful place far off the beaten path but well worth every minute!!! She was phenomenal and very caring as I was staying during medical procedures and she took time each day to check on me! So very sweet of her as I know she’s got a schedule to keep! Thank you so much Sally it was very pleasant….

Our 5th wheel fit nicely in the parking place next to the water hose. The compost toilet outhouse was clean and easy to use. Sally was very friendly and accommodating.
All directions were clear.
We would camp there again should we be passing through in the future.

Great property, great owners. Sally is a very nice young lady. It's very quiet. The composting toilet is a great feature that they have on the property. It was dark enough at night to see more stars than you would in the city. 5 stars for sure.

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.

Nice place to stay for a one or two night stop! Or if you want to be close to El Paso. Composting toilet in the outhouse was a plus. Being neighbors with a few horses for the night was cool. Would recommend.
