The best camping near Tornillo with hiking

·

Hiking near Tornillo means dry air, big sky, and plenty of hard-packed trails winding through the desert. Over 100 campsites in the area cater to hikers, with options starting at just $10 a night and an average closer to $50. Top-reviewed picks include Spur-C Desert Oasis #1 (52 reviews), Annie’s Outpost (17 reviews), and The Desert Dome @ BNC Farms (16 reviews). Expect basic comforts: showers, campfires allowed, and pet-friendly sites. Wildlife-watching is easy—look for jackrabbits at dawn and listen for coyotes at night. If you’re up for a bit of climbing, some sites border rocky outcrops worth scrambling. Pack for temperature swings; the desert cools off fast after sundown.

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.
