Dog Friendly, Great Views!
Good stay, great mountain views, feels remote but is pretty close to Alamogordo just in case. Got a nice fire going with some wood we bought in town. Be prepared for sand and wind - we were tent camping with two dogs (also they are dog-friendly!) and high winds blew sand all night long. Of course the weather cannot be controlled, so just be prepared.

I brought my wife here for our honeymoon and we loved our night camping out in the desert! The view from the site is gorgeous and we really appreciated having a porta-potty on site. We would definitely camp here again in the future!
