A high hundred bucks a night in a very inexpensive part of New Mexico, a room with no amenities and…read moreno restaurants, etc., nearby -- not even a coffee pot or a small fridge in the room. No TV, No internet (that's not their fault, I had to drive all the way into one part of Truth or Consequences to get reception). And most of all, bugs all over the room, most of them dead. In the corners, in the bathtub... Spiders, too. Creepy as heck. I'd expect to pay maybe $45 or $50 for the room, minus the bugs. They'll charge your card before you even stay there, and watch it, if there's a problem, it'll be very hard to get your money back. Plus side: beautiful area, atop the canyon overlooking beautiful Elephant Butte reservoir. Can't ask for more than to gaze out at the landscape with the butte in the middle. Easy access to the marinas lakeside for boaters, fishing, etc. my room faced the back, a gravel parking lot, but it was easy to hike up the hills in the old state park and enjoy the view. Rooms are small, with space only for a double bed and a couple of bedside tables/lamps, and a few extra feet all around the bed. Not even a chair to throw your jacket on. Bathroom in small adjoining room. Two people would be tight in there, especially for more than a night or two. Has good A/C. Room is tidy and has nice old wood flooring. Building used to be engineering offices when Elephant Butte Dam was built. The Butte and the lake are nearby and beautiful from there. I met a nice groundskeeper who helped me get checked in and circumvent the entire, confusing and weird process of having to find a marina about a mile away down the canyon in order to get the key. The 'lodge' i stayed in and nearby kitchenette cabins have seen better days, but are supposedly in process of upgrades and restoration now, since it is no longer a State Park and is privately owned. My room was one of the restored ones. BIG WARNING: They'll try to keep your money. I checked out at 8AM on day 2 of my two-day reservation because, well, paying top dollar of $100 a night for a small room full of bugs (not to mention no amenities) was just adding too much insult to injury. Yuck. I drove to the nearest town to get cell reception and called the office to inform them of this, and "Rick" said ok. Two days later, my bank statement shows they charged me for the second night! Thereafter ensued a frustrating, really upsetting conversation on the phone with Rick, who insisted they were going to charge me for the 2nd night even though I did not stay there, (because, BUGS). He flat out lied to me that an "inspection" had shown no bugs, and told me to "call next week" if i wanted to speak to the owner about it, but the guy wouldn't do anything to change it anyway. Upshot, this was a belligerent and rude gentleman and he was not going to back out the charges. I wasn't even insisting that I didn't want to pay for the one night i'd stayed there. So, what happened? Bottom line is that I told him that I was going onto Yelp and any other review sites I could find and write a review telling everyone about this. That gave him pause and he abruptly said he would contact his boss and call back. I then got on the phone with my bank to file a complaint and get their help in backing out the charges. Completely upsetting and so much crap to deal with. Half hour later, Rick called back and said they would back out the charges and apologized. Listen, if it hadn't been for the threat of exposing this nefarious policy and behavior at DamSite Resort, I'd have wound up paying $215 for one night in a small room with bugs and not much else. Thanks, Yelp!

Slant rhyme summary: draconian rules, beautiful views!…read more In the winter, this place is open 8am to 6pm. You can leave this campground anytime (insert boomer Hotel California Dad joke here), but you can't get back in. How do they accomplish this? The road into the campground is gated. The gate is locked on one side (driver's right) and the other side is open, BUT it has those one-way spikes like the rental car agencies have. This is brutal. We were here trying to do rock climbs in the Organs and we had to SPEED back into the campground to not miss the 6pm cutoff. It made it impossible to enjoy the lovely eateries and breweries in Las Cruces so...we chose not to sleep here for multiple nights and just leave our tent setup. Having said all that, this campground is immaculate. It's one of the nicest public campgrounds I've stayed at. Every site has a fire ring, a grill, a picnic table WITH a minipavillion, and a flat area to pitch a tent. To top it all off, it's only $7 a night and has amazing views of the Organ mountains! My guess is that this area has problems with rampant vandalism (many of the Organ mountain trailheads are also locked from 8am to 6pm) and is maybe understaffed, so this is their solution to the issues. If you go to bed early and are really good at cooking in a campground, this is the spot for you. If you're the type of person that likes big days in the mountains followed by hiking out by headlamp followed by crispy brews in town...look elsewhere.

This is the closest campground I found near White Sands; it was about a 40 minute drive. The stars were beautiful. Make sure to bring exactly $7 cash as you deposit it into the box to get a permit.

The Pine Loop Trail was a lovely four-mile hike that starts right by the campground. It takes you up into the mountains, and it took us about two hours to complete. There were many false trails that weren't marked. It's rated as moderate, although I think it was more challenging.

There are a couple of things you will want to know if you find this the same way I did. First, note that the map/directions that this yelp site gives you will NOT take you to the campground (it takes you to what must be a BLM office in Las Cruces). UPDATE: I submitted the correct address (Aguirre Springs Road) to Yelp. If that is the address that shows up, it is correct. The Marquess Street address is the incorrect one. These are the directions copied and pasted from the Aguirre Spring website: Location / Access The Aguirre Spring Campground is located on the east side of Organ Mountains, east of Las Cruces in Dona Ana County. Take U.S. 70 for 14 miles east of the I-25/U.S. 70 interchange in Las Cruces, then turn south on the Aguirre Spring Road (1.1 miles after San Augustine Pass) for six miles. At mile 4 the road becomes a one-way loop and climbs steeply. Next thing to note is that the only facilities are toilets. They were clean and well kept. These restrooms do not have sinks or mirrors. There are no showers and there is no water at the campsites. You can fill up your water containers at the campground host's site which is right on Aguirre Spring Road as you start driving in. The sites have picnic tables and grills and some have fire pits. There is a loop of campsites that are off to the right of the camping pay station. Those sites are pretty close together, and there were several families camped up there, but they are right at the base of those gorgeous rock mountains. I bypassed this loop and drove down the road a little further and camped in a spot on the left a little ways passed the hiking trail (which is on the right). I loved my spot. I pitched the tent under shady tree. A restroom was close-by. I went for a trail run/hike the following morning. A very well spent $3!
