Convenient location to trails and services, but beware the wind never stops blowing.

Loved this site - set back and private. A little walk back to the tent site.

Having the campsites set a ways from the road helps give each campsite a small but nice touch of privacy and seclusion. Sure was windy at night!

Beautiful campground! We stayed at campsite 18, which was perfect. Parking spot with a small walk, gorgeous views, privacy from other campsites, and not a far walk to the bathroom. It does get extra windy at night so strap everything down and dont leave anything out. No campfires allowed, so we brought a small stove to cook on. Loved our stay at this campsite!

Good campground! Fast access to trails. Good cell service (ATT). It would be nice if there was potable water at the tent sites.

Site is secluded and level. Easy walk from the car to the picnic table and tent pad. Many great hikes accessible from the campground.

The Pine Springs campground is a lovely area for tents with one problem: there is no water available in the camping area. I needed to go to the RV parking lot or to the visitor center to get water. Bring a large water container! Another problem was that each site had a reservation slip showing who had the site reserved for the coming night/s. However, the slips were not updated each day and quickly fell out of date.

The campground is mostly open and has a few really nice spots. I especially liked #18 and would prefer that should I go back. Many of the sites are exposed and wind gusts can be strong with them. The one drawback is that you cannot park next to your site on many of the spots. Hiking trails are a walk away from the camp which is also a plus!

Friendly folks at the visitors center and an enthusiastic camp host. Tent campsite had a very level spot for tents and plenty of space to spread out. The filtered drinking water at the main bathrooms was an unexpected bonus. We intend to come back and hike more of the trails.

Was a good spot, not too far from the bathroom! It was nice and quiet with no one near by (one next to it was handicap that wasn't used).

Nice, central location. Easy to get to Kittredge Canyon, as well as the smith Springs Trail head.Really enjoyed the location and the people I camped near

Awesome and well kept campground! Employees at the Visitor Center were very kind and knowledgeable. We felt very safe throughout our stay, the bathrooms and water stations were well kept, and the hikes were incredible! Excited to come back!

From your campsite, you have a good view of the Guadalupe Mountains. Each campsite is a short walk from the road/parking area, but you are hidden from almost all the other campsites. It was a little annoying to have to go to the RV parking area for potable water and to wash your dishes, but it's not a long walk.
The Guadalupes are rugged and remote, so come prepared.
There are several trailheads that connect to the Pine Springs campground, so a variety of hikes.
The area at RV parking area where you get potable water left water on the ground. This attached a variety of birds. I had a very enjoyable morning bird watching and saw several different species in a short amount of time.

The tent only campground spaces are nicely spread out and most have some shade. The setting is beautiful. Nearby dishwashing facilities a plus. The campground for larger vehicles is a large parking lot with tables scattered around the edges.
@TamaraF1220517 · Camped on Apr 19, 2023 at Campsite #18
Pros: Great view of the mountains. Nice campsite.
Cons: 50+ mph winds and no staking allowed made this a poor experience. Restrooms needed cleaning.

Campsite 18 great views, clean site.
@EmilynnB746 · Camped on Dec 10, 2021 at Campsite #18
Our spot didn’t have as clear of a tent pad as the others which made staking the tent a little difficult as some corners were over rocks. We had a beautiful view of the mountains from our spot and were super grateful to our camp hosts for their help.
@ReneP481 · Camped on Oct 13, 2021 at Campsite #18
AMAZING experience! We camped in spot #18 - which has a short trail back to the tent site / picnic area, but we liked the privacy. There was no shade on the picnic table, so if that is important to you, this is not the spot for you, at least in the fall. The surrounding scrubs/ trees provided some shelter from the gusting winds. The views from the site were amazing. Site was clean. Camp hosts were friendly. We parked at the camp site and walked to the trails. We only used the regular bathroom at the trailhead and it was clean.
Wish we could have stayed 2 nights, but we were on a drive back across the country and needed to keep moving.

Excellent campground— good separation between campsites. What a great sunrise in the morning! All in all worked well.
