A working mountain park, not a parking lot

The sites are cut into the hillside in terraces, so the rig next to you sits above or below rather than three feet off your awning. Ponderosa between the rows, Sierra Blanca standing over the far end, and cool nights all through July.

We are small and run day to day by the people who own it. Check in is at 2. Roll in late off the mountain and we will leave the light on for you.

Full hookups on every terrace

Water, electric and sewer on every site, with wifi across the park. The rows step down the hillside, so nobody is parked level with your window.

A travel trailer lit from inside beneath a sky full of stars

The sky is the amenity

There is no city glow up here to wash it out. Pull two chairs onto the gravel after the fire dies down and you can pick out the Milky Way most clear nights from May through October.

Everything worth driving to is close
