Small campsite with easy walks from car to site in most cases. It was nice to have a campsite here and therefore parking for all the nearby trailheads. The bathroom with flush toilets at the trailhead was a decent walk, so we were glad to be as close as possible in site 20.

Pretty good spot, but it's as far from the toilets as you get (not that far) and it's kinda open to the road that lead to the trailheads and campground. It does have a small amount of shade in the later afternoon, but like most of the sites, not much. Also, parking is good for easy camp setup.

Once again my stay at Pine Springs was great. Campsite 20 was really nice central location. It was clean. Having the ability to wash dishes and having a toilet there is very helpful.
Excellent

Campgrounds and campsite were as expected - online information was accurate and up to date. Due to the terrain and sun exposure that this area has, it would be wise to bring a sunshade / tarp to use as cover during the day (we visited in late May). Hike to the Peak was awesome! Great trail conditions and clearly marked. Visitor center was informative and the gift shop adequately stocked (a/c may have been not working properly at the time, but still a reprieve from the heat!) If we had planned more time, we would have visited Carlsbad Caverns since it is so close. Would definitely consider a return visit to explore the area more in the fall or springtime.

This site was very nice, spacious, and had beautiful views in every direction. Even though you are close to a park road that takes visitors to the main trailhead, it wasn't as noisy as I thought it would be. This site would've been 5 stars if it had adequate shade. One tree near the tent pad and table is trying but not there yet.

Awesome location with tent sites that are well spaced and nestled in small trees and shrubs. We camped two nights in December and the tent pad was well established and drained great when it rained one night. The bathroom facilities with electricity were just a short walk and the pit toilet at the end was clean (about the same distance to both). This site was large enough for our two tents and we could see the car from the tents. There is no shade at the picnic table and tents but a little recess until the tree beside the picnic table was shaded. Even though the road is close to this site, the road noise was not an issue.
Good

Even though sites are fairly close together, vegetation around the campground gives a very welcome level of privacy. Slight drawbacks are the lack of running water in the campground (you have to hike up a couple hundred yards to the main parking lot and the RV camping area for dishwashing areas and bathrooms - the tent area only has a pit toilet and water faucets are permanently disabled). And even though our fellow campers were very quiet after sunset, perhaps because fires are never allowed, noise from the nearby highway continues quite late at night. The campground is quite convenient to the park Visitor Center, or for a day hike to the summit of Guadalupe Peak or longer trips via the Tejas Trail. Devil's Hall is another recommendation for a moderate hike with interesting features. And it's a reasonable base for trips to McKittrick Canyon and even a day at Carlsbad Caverns NP, which has no camping facility.
Good

Pine Springs campground had scenic views of mountains on all sides as well as secluded tent sites. The tent sites had nice tent pads and picnic tables. The surrounding brush helped block the wind. The camp hosts go around multiple times a day to make sure that people arent sleeping in their vehicles in the tent area, so make sure that you have a tent if you book a tent site. The RV/van sites are on pavement in the parking lot and I personally would not stay there.

Nice sites and facilities. Be aware you cannot camp in your car/ van/ vehicle in the tent camping area, they do enforce it.
@TerrenceD2AC27 · Camped on Jan 31, 2022 at Campsite #20
Great camp host. Great site. Cant use my truck tent so has to use ground tent. But that wind. Booked 2 days. Only stayed one. It was windy like I have never experienced.

Because my reservation was not intended to be for 1/30!
@BryanH7627410 · Camped on Jan 23, 2022 at Campsite #20
Had a great time at Guadalupe National Park. I used Recreation.gov to reserve a camp site close to the trail. The process was flawless, and we really enjoyed the campsite. The hike was challenging but it was not as difficult as I expected. Beautiful views that just kept getting better the further up we climbed. Looking forward to doing again soon.

There are 20 tent sites in the campground and all are good as far as sight lines and surroundings. Some have a little walk in required from car to site. Toward the back between sites 8 and 15 are close to the group site which could get a little noisy. Overall this is a great campground. What pushes it to 5 stars is the camp host. Super friendly and helpful. They do rotate out but the time we were there was a couple that were the best.
