CG near El Paso ?
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

- Another vote for La Hacienda in Las Cruces. Good restaurants and shops in Mesilla.
- 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. - Anthony/El Paso, (West side of El Paso) off of I-10. KOA, (Formerly American RV). Good for overnight, just behind Camping World.
- 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.
- 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.

We stay at Van Horn RV Park (old KOA) or Southern Star RV Park.
