Nestled next to the looming East Mountain you’ll find 20 spots up for grabs at Hueco Tanks Campground.

Sixteen of the sites come with water and electric hookups, while the other four sites only get water -- but you’ll be afforded an awesome view of the surrounding funky rock formations that Hueco Tanks is known for from anywhere within the campground. Each spot also comes with a picnic table, which, more importantly, is covered by a stone-and-wood shelter -- which means you’ll have a way to escape the blistering mid-day desert sun.

Hueco Tanks is one of the most fun places I have ever hiked because its kind of like a giant playground to explore. Once you get on top of the rock formation the exploration and searching for petroglyphs is endless. But MAKE SURE you have a reservation, even just for day visiting as the number of people in the park is limited per day. And camping reservation doesnt equal park reservation. You need one for each.

Your guide to camping in Hueco Tanks Campground

Overview

Hiking

Because Hueco Tanks State Park is a protected natural area, only 70 people are allowed within the self-guided areas at once. This keeps the petroglyphs and pictographs in pristine condition, so you’re sure to see their beauty for years to come. Call ahead to reserve your spot to explore the park’s steep, rocky trails because the spots often fill up on the weekend. Guided tours are also available and give access to even more areas within Hueco Tanks.

Climbing

The world-class climbing at Hueco Tanks State Park is a true Texas gem. People come from all over to climb, both self-guided and on tours, in the unique historical areas within the park. Because Hueco Tanks is a protected site, there are only a limited amount of self-guided climbs allowed each day, so be sure to call ahead for a reservation. Guided climbing tours grant access to more areas within the park, as well.

Wildlife watching

Birds are the species to watch for within Hueco Tanks State Park. Over 200 species have been spotted to date, so bring your binoculars to have a look for yourself. In for a more educational experience? Consider joining the monthly bird-watching tour!
