STARGAZING & MYSTERIOUS LIGHTS ABOUND!
Dusty Rabbit Van Life @ Schrimsher Ranch is an alternative camping and Star Gazing location just outside of ROSWELL, yet close to the open road. A great place to relax under the stars, have a camp fire, and kick back next to your travel rig after a long day. You might just want to crash for the night in a safe location out on the rangeland or stay a day or two to enjoy the land to walk, mountain bike antelope trails, and maybe even Sniffers the pronghorn antelope will find ya before you head out. This is a primitive site, so leave no trace practice is appreciated and pack in/out is how we do it here. If you come in the summer prepare the morning coffee early and enjoy the desert sun's rays hit the Capitan, but by 9am it will be hot, so be ready! Best star gazing and satellite watching in the world!
I have several sites to choose from. But remember to keep an eye on the wind and weather as it can get crazy out here sometimes…..!!! I try to keep the sites stocked with firewood, but fill free to bring your own.
Lonely Bull Camp 1 is my most popular site. It is very private and is easily accessible by most vehicles and campers.
Ask about Lonely Bull Camp 4x4 if you have a capable vehicle. Amazing stars!!
Old Highway Camp is a great alternative if you want something closer to the highway and have a safe private place to pull over, camp, kickback, make a fire and get back to your life on the on the road in the morning. It is closer to the highway, but is quite at night and has great star gazing. Enjoy being greeted by The Mountain in the morning. Let me know where you would like to stay and I will do my best to accommodate you! Safe travels!

This was exactly what was needed to take a break from the road on my way through. Isolated enough to relax but still close enough to everything Roswell has to explore. Very much appreciated the solitude and the room for the pups to run free after so many days across country 🤙

Such an amazing place. Never seen that many stars literally ever. Host was super awesome, he answered any questions I had within a few hours of our spontaneous arrival. We will come back here without question, it was such a beautiful spot.

I stayed for two weeks and had a wonderful time! It’a relatively quiet, peaceful, and the sky is dark so you can stargaze. I saw the Milky Way, comet Lemmon, and a dozen shooting stars. You get to see both the sunset and sunrise. I enjoyed the swing and the ample amount of space that the site offered. You are close to town for anything you may need. And consider taking a day trip out to the mountains! I honestly did not want to leave, but I needed to get going on my roadtrip. I’ll absolutely be back here!

This spot was the perfect layover for me in Roswell. I booked last minute, and I’m so grateful that Martha was able to make it work. It’s a sweet, peaceful place—very quiet at night—with a wonderful swing that made it extra special. The site offers a full hook-up for the camper, and the privacy made it feel like my own little retreat. I couldn’t have asked for a better stop.

The more Hipcamp hosts I visit, the more I congratulate and appreciate their creativity, hard work and dedication.
This is most attractive yet! Interestingly, now both of my favorite spots are in New Mexico.
An acre to yourself with a green patch, grass, trees and all to be comfortable on while you enjoy your stay on your private ranch.
Absolutely loved it!!
I almost forgot about the two goats that were the welcoming committee.

We enjoyed our stay, the lake was incredible, especially in its perfectly glassy state in the morning light. But it was not the most private of campgrounds. We came in December and there were so few of us at the campground that it did feel relatively secluded but I imagine that’s very different at the height of camping season. There were a few spots in the 20s that border the lake and have a hedge on either side - pretty sweet spots, try to get them. The inner spots are just open to the campground. We did some great wild life spotting while we were in the park and saw white tailed deer, a highlight.

A great campground near Roswell. Be sure to check out the Roswell kitsch as well as the Roswell International UFO Museum and Research Center. There's an amazing contemporary art museum - The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art that is not to be missed!

This camp is 💯. Great place to spot up with amenities and explore natural features you're camping near. I would love to come back and spend more time in the swimming area, didn't even realize it existed until we were heading out!

This place is too cool! Both campgrounds have nice spots. The RV one has showers. Lea Lake is a great swimming hole that's 90 feet at it's deepest. Bring your water toys, sunscreen and a picnic.

I was passing through and stumbled upon this place. I can't wait to return and bring my camping gear. Several sites are quite secluded so you get extra privacy. The water is beautiful! Nearby Lea Lake has swimming, paddle board and peddle boat rentals.
