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.
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.

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.

Lifts run up Sierra Blanca in winter and the gondola keeps turning through summer for the view. Wildflowers on the upper meadows by July.
Stay for the season
Trout water with a trail all the way around it, plus paddleboards in summer. The loop is flat enough for an easy morning before the heat.

The real Smokey was a cub pulled from a fire on this mountain in 1950. Capitan keeps his story, and his grave, in a small park on the main street.
