Its just a parking lot not a campground. I knew that before checking in so I wasnt surprised, but theres not much else to say about a parking lot.

It's a great campsite, views can't be beat. However, late night traffic coming through the campground is very annoying. Possibly gating off the campground after-hours, with a code for campers ingress and egress. Sometimes they pull in at 1 or 2 in the morning and then leave without paying a fee, and waking me up.... Hope this comment helps

Fine for what is there. Many popular trails lead from this campground/parking lot (I didn't hike these because of their difficulty and the heat, just a short sunset stroll). I liked the Smith Spring hike.

The site has great views. Plus everything is so close to most of the trailheads. All you have to do is wake up and step out onto a trail. Bathrooms were nearby and clean. Just wish for showers. Ill definitely stay again.

We had one of the RV spots in the center, which worked out well, our site on the very end has a little grassy area with a picnic table, which was handymostly for setting up portable solar panels. The campground and our campsite are at the trailhead to Guadalupe Peak. Its very handy for when the trail gets busy and parking gets slim. We had enough space for our 30 ft travel trailer, and a pickup truck tucked into the side.

As it states the RV section is a parking lot that is connected to a super active trailhead parking lot, be prepared for car noise and people around always. It was very busy!Pros: Beautiful views of the mountains, flush toilets in a bathroom that has heating and was mostly cleaned, close to Carlsbad Caverns, close to trails right around the areaThe outside/edge rv spots are much nicer and "farther" away from each otherCons: Very busy with people using the trailhead, bathrooms at times were super busy/messy due to hikers,You're in a parking lot on top of each other, If RV next to you is using generator it's loud :( The outside/edge spots are much nicer than inside pull-through spots but online reservations stated must fit WHOLE vehicle/RV within spot (IE for camper vans and such) No disconnecting your trailer in spot and then parking your vehicle in the hiking parking lot spots. MANY people did not follow this rule during our stay here and parked trailer in the spot and car in hiking parking lot.VERY windy in this area

Definitely no frills but enjoyed the park and it was worth it. Wish we had water for the RV but other than that! Loved it!

Good RV spot. You are in a parking lot of course. But perfect for what it was. Really windy one night we were there - be prepared! We'll be back again.

Was a little early for good fall colors. I love this area.

Wonderful staff. Very clean facilities. We stayed in our camper for three nights with no issues.- Check out Frijole ranch / smith spring trail. The nature speaks for itself!

Many of the sites in the RV section of the Pine Springs Campground are just long spots in the parking lot. We knew that when we booked it. It's not a camping experience, but we needed a place to stay with one small camper and one car, and it was adequate. The place was quiet; the skies were dark. The restrooms were fine, and the dish washing sink was helpful. No complaints. It met our needs, and it's a beautiful location.

Beautiful spot, basically a parking spot, windy. Right at the base of the peak.

@DavidP3257927 · Camped on Dec 15, 2023 at Campsite #30
It's a parking lot with lots of traffic from hikers. Dogs are not allowed on trails so activities are limited. No showers. The park had lost power so they ran a loud generator all day: not sure why because there were still no lights in the rest room...

Great park and the campground -- although mostly just a parking lot -- was more than adequate. Close, clean toilets. Close to (and easy access to several good trails).

I stayed in the RV area, which is simply a parking lot with a beautiful view. The restrooms were right there and relatively clean, and there's an outdoor sink for washing dishes. I enjoyed the area and the trail head for both Guadalupe, and Hunters Peak are right there. I would stay here again.

Nice area and great hikes. Beware, if it’s windy don’t leave anything out. It might not be there when you get back.

Not having water, electric, or sewer hookups was not much of an issue as we filled our propane tanks, fuel tanks (motorhome and Jeep), fresh water tanks and had dumped gray and black water before arrival. We were in site #30 which has a small patch of grass and a picnic table. It was at the end of the row and was perfect for us and our pets. The restrooms and fresh water spigot were not in working order during our stay and it was a bit frustrating to realize that in the four days we were there no one ever seemed to be working on any repairs. Especially since the signage on the bathrooms indicate they are closed due to repair/renovations. There are bathrooms in the tent area and at the visitor center. However, of the three at the visitor center two were locked. We were uncertain if perhaps parts were on back order or lack of skilled plumbers was the cause. This campground has so much potential especially because it is located at the Guadalupe Peak trailhead. We would stay here again; however, as stated we were frustrated for those who needed the bath and shower facilities and found them inoperable.

Neither the mens nor the womens toilets were open for use and a notice said to go to McKIttrock Canyon or Frijole Ranch toilets. These are gated and closed after 5 pm. Unacceptable to have no toilets available.There is no regulation of generator use so we had extremely noisy neighbour using generator, preventing sleep.
