The park is relatively small but will happily accommodate large rigs. There are lots of trees dotted about the site that create plenty of shade, the trees are also full of birds happily chirping away. The park backs onto farmland so the views and sunsets can be stunning.

Lee takes great pride in the park and everything is very clean and well maintained. There are laundry facilities and bathrooms, the wifi is also very good. The small store stocks ice, snacks and ice cream.

Mescalero Sands North Dune (BLM Land)
Address: Roswell, NM 88203, United States
Tel: n/a
Heading east, roughly 30 miles out of Roswell on the 380 towards Caprock, you will come across the Mescalero Sands North Dune recreation area.
This area is under the control of the BLM (Bureau Of Land Management). The federal government allows camping at designated areas under their control, and Mescalero Sands is one of them. You can find out more on BLM camping here.
You will need a permit, to get one you can call the local BLM field office: +1 575 627 0272.
Access is via a washboard road but the short duration is worth the destination. There are lots of hard packed areas for RV’s, but definitely check out potential plots on foot beforehand as the sand in places is too deep for heavy vehicles. There is very little in the way of facilities except for a few clean toilets. Be sure to bring plenty of water as there is no running water here.
The views here are stunning and it’s a cool place to stay just 20 minutes drive from Roswell.
At time of writing, according to this article in the Roswell Daily Record, construction of another RV park is under way on West Second Street in Roswell.
I’ll update this page when the RV park is open for business.
