Camping in Guadalupe Mountains National Park
Camping in Guadalupe Mountains National Park
Guadalupe Mountains N.P. has two major campgrounds- Pine Springs located near the park's main entrance, and Dog Canyon which is on the very remote north end of the park, accessible through New Mexico. The park also has ten primitive campsites in the backcountry, each containing 4-8 hardened tent pads. All overnight backpackers must register and stay in one of the primitive camps -- no off-trail camping is allowed. All camping spots are first-come-first-served, so arrive early to ensure you get one. In fact, campsites can be quite hard to get during the last week in October, when the maple leaves are turning and bathing McKittrick Canyon and other areas in red. In the Summer or Winter however, backpackers willing to travel to the more remote primitive campsites, such as Mescalero (which is best accessed from the Dog Canyon entrance), are likely to be the only human beings for miles.
