Camping is not allowed within Carlsbad Caverns National Park itself. However, you can find camping options nearby, such as at the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which is about a 40-minute drive from Carlsbad Caverns. The Pine Springs Campground and Dog Canyon Campground in Guadalupe Mountains National Park offer tent and RV camping on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hipcamp has the perfect site to match your camping style.
