This is is boondocking in the trailhead parking lot, no hookups, generator use during daytime hours. That being said, there are clean spacious bathrooms, a dishwashing station, and drinking water fill. Some of the sites have a picnic tables (around the edges and the one on the far side of the parking lot in the center). The spot was spacious enough for our 28 ft. RV and tow car (honda CRV) to fit. There was plenty of room for our slides, though we opted to keep them in due to EXTREMELY high winds while we were there. We had space to put out our chairs and relax though.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here, did a couple of amazing hikes (Devils Hall was super fun) and spent a day at Carlsbad Caverns.
Star gazing at night would have been fantastic other than the bright bathhouse lights and another camper that felt the need to light up the parking lot. :/

I found it to be fantastic, it was close to trail and well maintained. Please note this is a boon-docking site, and limit on generator use. It is right next where trail starts for Guadalupe Peek. When I visited the winds were exceptionally high. One day gusts got to near 75mph. Winds were coming out of NW and that is the direction the rv spots faced. I did bring my slide in for peace of mind. Be sure to look at wind forecast before you travel.

We stayed 4 nights at the Pine Springs Campground. Our site was very level and asphalt, so nothing else needed. Of course, it was dry camping, but LOTS of great sunlight for those solar panels. We were able to charge our trailer battery each day using just our 200W solar suitcase. It was very cold at night, and we had to run the furnace, so that ate up some propane, but a quick trip to Whites City gave us a fillup of that tank. We had a battery issue, so we had to go to Carlsbad to buy a new one, but it is a good place to stock up on supplies needed. There are lots of hikes within the park and a trailhead leaves right from the campground area. Very nice dark skies too.

Service was pretty limited (Verizon got ~1 bar in the parking lot if we were lucky). We hiked Devils Hall which was a good end-of-day hike. Sunset was amazing and sunrise made us feel like we were on Mars. No hook-ups or showers, but there's water and a toilet :)

Very beautiful surroundings, well maintained paved sites. No hookups, but clean restrooms and decent cell service. Whether just wanting to enjoy the views, or wanting to hike the trails I would recommend this campground. Utilizing our Senior Golden Pass was only $10. We toured Carlsbad Caverns while visiting.

There is also a dishwashing station by the restrooms. A potable water area is located where you check yourself into the campsite. It it first come first serve but I did read they will start taking reservations Oct. 1st. There were maybe 7 other campers when we were there. Quiet place to spend the night.

This was just a quick overnight tent camping trip the night before the Blue Origins launch (side note: even though we found an overlook just a few miles from the launch site and had binoculars, we didn't see a thing other than the rocket contrail. And it was over and done in not much over 15 minutes).
Check-in: sites are on a first-come, first served basis. It's a popular place, easily accessible from El Paso and Las Cruces, and fills up quickly, so get there early if you can. Stop at the visitor center to pay the entrance fee. If you have a valid National Park pass, you can get a handy hanger there for your rear view mirror in which you insert the card and leave facing out. The tent sites are positioned surrounding an open gravel parking area just downhill from and next to the paved parking area. Each tent site has a small clip on a post holding a laminated card with "occupied" printed on one side, and "unoccupied" on the other. Find an unoccupied spot, flip the card, put some stuff there in case people don't notice the "occupied" card, go pay the camping fee at the kiosk in the paved parking area.
The campsite was great, the surroundings gorgeous. We wandered the closer trails and checked out the visitor center. The pit toilets were very clean, the trails well marked and the visitor center has an extensive display about the plants and animals of the area, really informative. We were there in the monsoon season, so it was as lush and green as it gets. I recommend you bring some form of shade. Each tent site has a picnic table. No fire rings.
June and July are the rainy months, come prepared for rainstorms.
We'll definitely camp there again, but I'll bring earplugs. The campsite is very close to the highway. so you'll hear trucks laboring up the grade and the air brakes as they descend, and just regular car noise as well, all night long. If you're at all sensitive to road nose, that's something to be aware of. Also to my surprise was a lot of jet noise at night. Like, every 10 minutes a low flying jet. I can't figure this one out, the closest airports capable of handling that kind of aircraft are ELP/Biggs Field in El Paso, and those just aren't that busy (our apartment overlooks both, we have a very good idea of air traffic on our area, :->).
Anyway, the area is gorgeous, we'll be back for a longer stay (me with earplugs, lol).

It was a big plus for us even in an RV to have the bathrooms and kitchen sink washing station. We think the tenting area should be favored with better amenities. Some tenting sites are a looong ways from a vehicle parking. Verizon was on again, off again. The campground wakes up early as many are hitting the trails, especially to Guadalupe Peak, but also goes to bed early. Our opinion is that it was an indictment and bad advertising that the 45' Tiffin Allegro owner couldn't wait until 8 a.m. to start the generator.
