We get it that it close to the wildlife refuge,but is pretty much the land owners back yard.Sites are gravel and a lot of garbage blowing around.Over priced at 40.00 bucks a night.

Though there is 5 bars of 4g LTE for AT&T, there was no data. Never able to get more than 1 MBPS download.

I came in on my Harley to make sure it would work for my 40' motorhome. If you stay on the road you could get a small Class C in and out but if you get off of the used road you get into DEEP SAND.
Not a good place to stay.

There are a few sites right by the interstate if you take a left off of the main dirt road. They would be great for quick overnight stops—they seemed pretty flat and the road was accessible. It’s flat with lots of creosote and prickly pear. There’s not a lot to see, though mountain views to the west. You are likely to see other campers as the spots are pretty close together and there are only a few.
However, if you want to stay for longer, see better views, and be more isolated, take a right off of the main road and keep driving. The road is a bit rough—rocky with some sections of washboards, but take it slow and smaller rigs and passenger vehicles should be fine. Go back about 3-4 miles and there is a nice spot next to an old corral big enough for a large rig. Keep going another mile or two and you’ll enter the hills with amazing canyon views. There are a few spots along the wash, all with incredible privacy and views. Obviously, don’t stay here in low lying areas when there is a risk of flash flooding. We stayed for 8 days in our 24’ motorhome and explored the canyons and mountains. Also, treat yourself to a drive further down the road and see some incredible cliffs and canyons.

Perhaps if one went down into Box Canyon but I would not recommend it without 4 wheel drive and a smaller camper.

I think it’d be fine for a couple or a group, just got a bad vibe. I can’t explain exactly what it was, but I didn’t feel safe so I left right away. It was easy enough to find, right off the highway. Maybe if I’d been with other people or in a big RV, it was a decent enough spot. There was room for big rigs or groups of people. Right away, I just got a bad vibe. There was no one else around, it was still light out, and I was tired, but I trust my intuition even when it’s just a weird feeling. Maybe it was the shotgun shells or the tire tracks that looked like someone had been doing donuts. The short time I was there, I got good ATT cell service and caught the beginning of a pretty sunset!

Washed out...access very limited to 4x4s, an RV is likely to get stuck (I had to back out several hundred yards).

It’s very quiet here even though you’re right off the highway. We had the place all to ourselves as well. I’d definitely come back.

Gravel road maybe .25 mile from the interstate exit to San Antonio, NM. There were a few small washouts, but fine for our 30’ Class C. Two established turnouts. Don’t go past the second one. The road goes sideways and ends. Great views and loved this stay. Cell tower was heavy. Great service with ATT & Verizon.
