We will be heading west though Texas. Is there a campground, State Park, COE, or private near El Paso that someone could recommend for a overnight stop? Thanks

Going west we stay in Van Horn. By the time we get to El Paso the morning traffic is not to bad. We do not like to get to close to El Paso. We stay at Van Horn RV Park (old KOA) or Southern Star RV Park.

I'd recommend either staying in Van Horn if you're coming I-10 or just beyond El Paso at Las Cruces, NM.You could also take I-10 to Van Horn and pick up 54 north toward Pine Springs. Then west on 62/180 to Hueco Tanks State Park which is very nice for at least a couple night's rest. It has some interesting Indian ruins and is a nice park. Then continue west to I-10 again.http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/hueco-tanks

Van Horn KOA is a nice park, we've stayed there in the past. About 45 minutes west of El Paso is Las Cruces NM. Hacienda RV Park is quite nice also. I noticed a park listed in the Trailer Life CG book that is just barely west of EP, in Canutillo. The ratings were good but we haven't stayed there. The west side of EP is much nicer than the east side. There is a park on the east side, probably about 15 to 20 miles from the center of EP that is OK, just not in a very nice part of town.

Anthony/El Paso, (West side of El Paso) off of I-10. KOA, (Formerly American RV). Good for overnight, just behind Camping World.

One thing about the west side of El Paso is Feed Lot after Feed Lot.Sometimes you get a lot of flies and sometimes the smell is bad.If you go to the west side of El Paso go to Las Cruses.The KOA is right off I-10 and is a nice park.

We stayed at Sunny Acres in Las Cruces. Stayed an extra day day and took a side trip to White Sands National Monument.

X2 on Las Cruces and Hacienda RV Park. This past summer there was work on the 375 Loop--does anyone know if it is complete?

One year, a while back, we bumped into Oliver Lee Memorial State Park It was GREAT.

Might just take a look - a little out of the way, but we were coming from the north and it was easy - great spot, with a great Sunset. One of those places you just run across but never forget.

Best of Luck,

X4 on Van Horn, and the Van Horn RV Park in particular. Note that this park used to be a KOA, but is now unaffiliated. Still shows up in Garmin and , I believe Allstays as the Van Horn KOA, so don't be confused. It's a good park, but a bit pricey at $36/night, IMHO. There are a couple of other RV parks in Van Horn, including one that I believe is a PA park. But they are a bit rough and close to the busy railroad for my tastes. I agree with a previous poster about Van Horn being just the right distance from El Paso. Leave in the morning, and you conveniently miss the rush hour headed west. We stayed there on our route to Tucson last month, and will be staying there again on our home bound route in March.

Las Cruces KOA great spot easy on off I10. Stayed there 2 years in a row. Well maintained and nice staff, nice view of town from campground.

We've stayed at the Sunland Casino and Racetrack. I don't know what people are so afraid of. They have a few hookups with water and have security all night for around $6. Easy off & on I 10. Yes, you can see Mexico from there, big deal
