Very close to trailhead. Nice wide paved spots. Bathrooms. Not to crowded.

It was fine just to close to other visitorsThe spaces are too close/crowded together for my liking. The light from the bathroom diminishes the dark skys. It too bright and just needs to be covered so the light will shine down please!

The campsite was terrible. The only cycling trail closed. I left a day early to go to a state park that was much more camper friendly.

The rv campground isnt much more than a parking lot but it was surrounded by beautiful mountains. Its a great place to camp to start the trails early. Very clean.

We were in an RV site on the end of parking lot closest to mountains and that afforded us some privacy. Also, bathrooms were kept clean despite heavy use by hikers. Some minor, inexpensive work would make a large difference in safety and infrastructure of RV area: 1) add another speed bump and slow speed limit sign right as cars approach curve to enter campground, 2) repaint arrow on blacktop to direct cars to go to south westernmost driveway entering lot rather than between two rows of campers (most cars go between campers), 3) fix frost-free water spout (spews water everywhere) and add shutoff valve for 2nd sink at dish-washing station to conserve water (this is the desert, after all).Park trails and scenery and visitor center were GREAT.

As other reviews have pointed out, the campground is a large, paved parking area which also is shared with day hikers. The sites backing up to the trees are small and more suitable to smaller trailers or class B/C RVs. The center section will accommodate large trailers/5th wheels and class A RVs but that space is limited in size, too. Be mindful of the size of your RV AND the overhang of the trees in the back sites. That being said, our time was enjoyable and our site (25) accommodated our 17 trailer. The parking area can become busy as this is trail access to Guadalupe Peak and other hikes as well. Potable water is available, a water bottle fill station is in the restroom building, and the restrooms are well maintained. There wasnt a campground host (family emergency) but the rangers and volunteers make frequent appearances (great staff!).My only complaint is with generator usage in such a cramped area. I loathe the sound and smell of these contraptions and would rather have them eliminated entirely unless it was mandated that generators must be confined to the interior of the vehicle while in use. At the very least generator use should be limited to 1-2 hours in the morning and 1-2 hours in late afternoon. Had a great five day visit (hiking) and would certainly return.

I came specifically to hike to Guadalupe Peak. Trailhead is less than 50' from the campsites. No hook ups, bring what you need. Filtered water station and flush toilets onsite.

Clean bathroom, located at a main trailhead. Basically your site is a parking lot, were the winds can be challenging. Overall a good experience

We had a wonderful stay at Pine Springs. Though the RV camping is more or less just a parking lot, it served our purposes for a place to sleep and the proximity to trails in Guadalupe Mountains was unbeatable. Bathrooms were clean which was appreciated. I would recommend this site for anyone hiking in the national park.

Beautiful views in this campground. We were camping in our car & if this is also you, then know that you cant book a tent siteyou must book an RV spot, which is basically a big parking spot. There is a picnic table at every site and very close to trailheads and bathrooms. Awesome place to wash dishes if thats something youll need to do. Very little cell service though!

The first night (2/5/23) the RV area restrooms were out of order.The second night (2/10/23) the RV area restrooms were operational but flooded over night. Obvious plumbing problems are not being addressed.

The RV camping is like a parking. There are toilets that are not opened so if you do not have restroom in your RV, you need to take the car and go to the visitor centre. Not comfortable.
