Even though I entered our class C motor home info, it still let me book a campsite that no class C motor home would fit in due to height restriction of a tree limb. I only saw the limitation on the confirmation email on the day we were to arrive. Fortunately we were able to book a private camp ground nearby. We did drive through the campground and it is basically a big parking lot, not the usual finding at a National Park.

We only stayed overnight in our van. The area was beautiful. The bathroom was adequate. No water, electric, or sewer was available. The staff at the visitor center were friendly and informative. We would like to come back to visit McKindrick Canyon. You really need additional days to enjoy a visit here.

Great location with the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen!

Reserved an RV spot so I could car camp in my vehicle. The bathrooms are super well-maintained; everybody was quiet and respectful; and the location can't be beat. Would definitely stay here again!

Campsite was very clean, bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Trails were easily accessible from the campsite, devils hall was nice and easy. Parking lot was only slightly busy after dark, people around the sites were respectful. Night sky was absolutely stunning, must-see.

The campsite was good. It was quiet which was nice. I got there after dark and it was a little hard navigating to the B loop.

Great experience at Pine Creek. The area was clean. The other campers was respectful of the rules and uneventful evening car camping, which is always a good thing.

Solid spot for what is basically a parking lot with some picnic tables. Campsite has a great view of the mountains and the sunrise was beautiful each morning (viewed from a couple sites over)! Bathrooms were clean and close by which was nice since I was camping in my car. Only took a star off because the utility sink wasn't working during my stay.

Camping spots were very tight, in a parking lot. Hiking was very scenic. This park is also convenient to Carlsbad Caverns.

Clean facilities. As others have said its basically a nice parking lot at the trailhead for Guadalupe Mountain. Easy walk to visitor center.

RV sites are basically a space in parking lot, some with no picnic table. So if your vehicle does not have table, cooking will be a problem. Parking lot is near trailhead, but still have to park car at another space during the day due to limited RV spaces that consecutive days reservation is difficult.

I liked the campground. It was a bit rugged but for me, I like that. The doggies enjoyed and walking on the loop road. I was happy that other campers were present.

This is just a parking lot with no privacy and little space. It does have flush toilets and sinks with running water.
@DaveL1115951 · Camped on Dec 2, 2024 at Campsite #23
The RV lot and the tent camping are separate areas, so that helps the tent campers be exposed to less noise. The RV spaces are close together but very workable. There are spaces for the camper van as well as the long trailer-truck combos or the Class A. No hookups but water is accessible near by. Just be prepared to be boondocking. The hikes (that's why you're here, right?) range from easy with doggie to strenuous. Depending on the trail, bring water, be in shape, be prepared!

The hikes were amazing! The Pine Springs campground not so much. Hard to get a site for consecutive nights and crazy windy when we were there.

Love this campground. Easy access to trails. Wish they had a shuttle to McKitrick Canyon.

The campground is basically a parking lot but the surrounding scenery sure makes up for it. Facilities were good.

Great location, close to the trailhead for multiple hikes in Guadalupe Mountains National Park. I parked my van in one of the RV spots. The spots were level. Cell service (verizon) was two bars for most of my stay. Bathrooms were decent and clean. Potable water was available.
