This was a great spot near the top but is reservable and has electric. I am sure I would not mind one of the non-electric, non-reserveable spots now. The views are so amazing, you can see for miles.

This was a great spot near the top but is reservable and has electric. I am sure I would not mind one of the non-electric, non-reserveable spots now. The views are so amazing, you can see for miles. There is a short nature type trail and the Dog Canyon trail that travels up and around the mountain. I camped here in late April and it was pleasant, not sure if I would like it in the summer because it is pretty exposed. Close to White Sands NM and the town of Alamagardo. Visit McGinn's pistachio farm for free samples and farm tour.

We came without a reservation and didn't have a problem finding a site 3rd week in March. Though we may have just gotten lucky, because the campsites come in a variety of odd shapes and many look to be un-level.

We came without a reservation and didn't have a problem finding a site 3rd week in March. Though we may have just gotten lucky, because the campsites come in a variety of odd shapes and many look to be un-level.
That said, there is a ton of space in between sites and the natural landscape is beautiful.
I did have the unfortunate experience of trying the showers here, once. The showers are push-button and the water is lukewarm.
Aluminarium would stay here again

After driving past some rather depressed areas of Alamogordo's outskirts, you end up at the state park which is nestled right up on the mountains at the base of Dog Canyon, and pretty much everywhere in the campground has a perfect sunset view of the Tularusa Basin and the Organ Mountains. The campsites are pretty simple (electric and water for some, but not all, of the sites), and are set up as pull-outs (as opposed to pull-throughs or back-ins). The shower house is pretty good, not the best.
The main hiking trail takes you up the mountain against which the park is situated and follows along Dog Canyon. The plaque at the start indicates it's an 8-10 hour round trip hike. We didn't make it all the way to the end because we had other plans for the day, but the little bit that we did do offered amazing vistas. Other campers told us the full hike is worth the effort if you and/or your dogs can handle it.

Go Around the Bend: White Sands, Black Lava.
The dusty conditions made for an interesting sunset. Remember when I mentioned that we might get windy conditions and a cold snap? We got both. We left Saguaro for Rockhound State Park in Deming, NM...
