Nice place easy to get to off highway and far enough away not to hear the traffic. Had to do a little extra leveling on truck camper but i was pulling a trailer so limited on the position that I was able to put the rig. Clean nice gravel spot to stay.

Larry is a wonderful host and his camping spot is beautiful! Convenient location that was shockingly quiet. The quarry trucks that Larry mentions in the description did start to go by around 6:30am, but we were camping on a weeknight and were grateful for the heads up. Overnight when it counts, all we could hear were distant coyotes. Highly recommend!! Thanks, Larry!

Chef Udo’s property was a wonderful experience. The setting is peaceful and welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious. Every meal is prepared with care and incredible flavor—you can really feel the passion behind it. We had the brisket nachos, brine chicken, chocolate cake, and cookies. A truly memorable stay and a must-visit for anyone who loves great food and warm hospitality. Chef Udo was genuinely happy to make sure everyone has a good time. He let us play with his glow in the dark bocce ball set, while waiting for dinner.

I didn’t actually see a UFO… but I was convinced I would! Great stargazing.

My stay at the smokehouse was genuinely a once in a lifetime experience. Chef-Üdø was SO accommodating, communicative and welcoming; the property felt well cared for and safe. And his food was absolutely unreal…where else can you have a world class steak dinner (followed by a warm cookie) underneath the stars?! I will remember this night for a long time!!

We had a great stay at Tularosa winery. Our spot was very level and spacious with a beautiful view. The wines were tasty and we even bought a bottle to take back to the camper.

Larry had a great spot outside the city.
It was private and quiet. I’d camp there again.

Camping on Chef's property was a unique experience. As you might expect, he is a great cook, and it is rare to have a hot meal served to you when camping. It can be a bit of a challenge to coordinate the timing if you don't know when you might be getting into camp, but things worked out OK. He is a knowledgeable host with a clear passion for the outdoors.
There are no regular camp sites in white sands NP, so this is about as close as you can get and there are other recreational possibilities in the nearby mountains. Chef has great plans for improvements to his site, such as a shower building, and he has a glamping tent available, but for now I had to make do with a shared table in contrast to other hosts that tend to offer individual picnic tables. There is a bathroom tent, but fires were not permitted when I was there. Much of the camping area is bare dirt.
When I was there in winter the weather was mild with some wind, but I am told it can be more windy at times.
Noise is a concern, there is noise from the road although it will die down late at night, noise from trains, and noise from roosters owned by nearby neighbors. On the positive note, I was able to observe a rare missile test at night with an interesting exhaust tail. Bringing ear plugs may help.

red rock retreat was gorgeous! we arrived after sundown but the full moon was bright enough for us to see without headlamps.
the road coming in was pretty rough, we made it through but it was kinda scary while driving on in our 25 ft class c RV. just a heads up, go slower than you think you need to!
however the views were perfect and we loved our stay. can’t wait to be back! thanks!

It was really peaceful and if you want an incredible bottle of wine it’s a wonderful bonus. She was really nice and there is plenty of room to park.

Easy booking with accurate, simple directions to the site. The route was a bit bumpier than I expected, but I think the description is accurate.

Regan’s land was convenient to White Sands National Park and nearby town for necessities. The area was cleared, flat, with picnic table and a fire ring. The road to get there is long and bumpy but that’s to be expected given the location. The view of the mountains is beautiful. We camped in a ground tent there for one night, it was all we needed! I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Nice sites, not so nice facilities

Oliver Lee Memorial State Park Campground
The camp sites were super nice, but the facilities were underwhelming. The showers in the women’s room were awful, one didn’t work at all and the other was almost rusted shut and just barely trickled. Then for the men’s room there was no soap, let alone a soap dispenser, you could tell where it once was but it needs to be replaced. Overall nice sites but the facilities were very underwhelming.

Stayed at Oliver Lee on a photo scouting mission in February this year, and we loved staying here! The sun shelters at most tent sites were super helpful against the windy nights, and the facilities were kept clean and quite. Highly recommend. And we'll be back.

Nice park.

The best place to hang out and explore the Tularosa Basin! 44 campsites include 7 that are reservable. 18 sites have water and electric hook ups, the rest are dry sites. The campground has showers in the middle easy to get to from all sites. Some sites have shelters. The visitor center has a nice small museum with info about the area. The park has a nice nature trail and access to the Dog Canyon Trail which rises up 3,100 feet in 5.5 miles. Supplies are available in Alamogordo 12 miles away.
