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. There were picnic tables and grills for each campsite. We had a nearby garbage bin. The vault toilets were surprisingly very, very clean. 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.

The pedal extenders allow me to have the seat in the 'normal' position without being on top of the steering wheel. Installation was easy and the owner of the company was extremely helpful, thorough and accurate evaluating the correct size for me. He was also accommodating with any potential exchanges or returns. i would more than highly recommend this device to anyone who has to pull the seat up close to the steering wheel in order to reach the pedals. It's extremely dangerous to be that close to the airbag. In the event that it deploys, it can cause serious injury and/or death to someone who is sitting that close to the steering wheel where the airbag is housed.

I missed out on my standard chile rellenos on my latest junket through New Mexico…read more El Camino real was tasked at filling the craving. I ordered the relleno plate and a taco. The chips and salsa hit the spot and were the precursor to my meal experience. My iced tea was cold and refreshing. I about finished the chips when my meal arrived. Mostly because I was hungry. Perfect timing! The rellenos were outstanding!! Just right spicy, hot melty cheese. The rice tamed the heat and I haven't been in the mood for beans and they were delicious, they even hit the spot. I really didn't need the taco but it went well with the salsa. I needed extra napkins for the sweat, it was pure heaven! I could not be happier. Great service. Wonderful.
