We were at Site 12 - not on the parking/road but closer than most. And relatively close to the bathrooms. (Kudos to the cleaning crew - the bathrooms were kept very clean and well stocked. ). This site had some shade on our tent-pad in the early afternoon which was nice.

I booked this campsite which was tent only. You're not allowed o sleep in your car; that's considered an RV and you must park in an RV site. All RV sites were full. The campground was cold and it was very windy. Tenters were bundled up. I decided to stay in an AirBnB on the west side of the Guadelupes rather than be miserable. The site itself looked nice.

Pine Springs is terrific. BUT, I find it incredibly frustrating when people reserve a campsite, then pull a no show, the campsite is then NOT used that night, nor can anyone else use it. I stayed at Pine Springs for 5 consecutive nights but it took 3 separate campsites (reservations) on my part to make it work. Its frustrating to have to break camp, pack everything up, move to a new campsite the next night, and then see that your original campsite actually never got used by the people who reserved it!!! There has to be a solution to this.

Beautiful place! Tent sites well spaced, mostly private. Bathrooms clean. Obviously it would be nice if there were more facilities, like water in the tent area, but its manageable and understandable given the remote, desert location. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip, including chatting with all the park rangers.

Very small campground with limited space for tenting. The RV spots are just in a parking lot with no views or privacy. There are about a dozen or so tent spots but 1/2 of them you need to walk in a bit to get to.The visitor center is nearby with drinking water and toilets.

Loved our site! Was close to all the trails we were interested in hiking and had amazing views of the mountains. Would definitely stay there again.

Caution: Very windy and cold on MLK weekend. I booked 3 nights at the campground and one on the mountain. We did not actually make it to the camp on the mountain . The winds were 60+ mph and the rangers were advising us to turn around. The first night we spent at the campground was the windiest night I have ever spent in a tent. We had to put rocks i the tents to keep them from blowing away. The wind shook the tents all night long. Highly recommend ear plugs or AirPods. No water at the tent camp sites, although there were water fountains, they did not work. Had to go to the RV campground for water and flush toilets. Spent last MLK weekend at Big Bend and it was a much easier hike and camp experience. Do not recommend for inexperienced, unfit hikers and campers.

I think site 12 is the best tent site in Pine Springs! Private, close to parking, close enough to the dumpster and toilets, but not too close to either. Great sunrises over the basin. The camp host is super friendly too! Note: there IS a spigot with potable water at Pine Springs, but it's by the trailhead

A bit of road noise from the nearby highway, but nothing too terrible (bring some earplugs, just in case). Beautiful location.

We had a great campout at Pine Springs Campground group site #2. The site was small but not unmanageable for 16 people. Definitely recommend small tents with a low profile, which helps both with the crowding and the inevitable wind gusts. The tallest tent in our group did suffer some wind damage one blustery evening, so be prepared. Campsite was clean, near the restroom, and had plenty of picnic tables for prepping and eating. All in all, a great campsite and one I hope we'll visit again.

Absolutely loved this campground and spot. I will be back!

Did not realize water and flush toilets were in the RV area until I left.
