Area Campgrounds
|
Though we do have primitive camping sites for backpackers, there is no campground for RVs or vehicles within White Sands National Monument. However, there are many campgrounds, both public and private, within an easy drive of the park. Download our Area Camping brochure for locations and contact information of many local campgrounds. This listing of private and public campgrounds is provided for your convenience. No endorsement is implied.
Other campground information is available at www.Recreation.gov or www.ReserveUSA.com.
For more specific information, see our Area Camping brochure.
