Alamo Canyon Primitive Campground

What a secret small place. just fell in love with it. We stayed here in august and were completely alone. Top spot for hikers and photographers. Amazing sunsets and superb stargazing. Not much light pollution !

Very nice small cg. Tents, trucks or vans only, no trailers, RVs or motorhomes or gennys allowed. No ground fires allowed. Only 4 sites but a bit close together for me, so no privacy unless you are the only camper there. Vault toilet, garbage bins and recycle bins No Water and no cell signal on T-Mobile.

The campground was great, well taken care of, and so beautiful. The bathroom was clean and the road was pretty good considering we drove a car (not a truck). The safety button on the road to the campground is nice. I wouldn't drive here in the dark though. It's close to the border and the campground is off a known drug highway. However, I did feel safe here and would go back again.

A place of magic waits for you. Lay back when the sun goes down, the vermillion border over the western mountains will entrance you, and the stars and Milky Way light up the night. This kind of bliss heals the soul. Wake up with a coyote ranging his territory. Take your tripod. There is no water or electricity at this camp. Take your wet naps and a bottle of water to brush your teeth.

Beautiful. Be prepared for bugs (would not sleep under a tarp here). Was alone on a weekday in mid-August, honestly not surprising considering that it was just a little too hot to sleep comfortably. Probably awesome in the winter. Bathroom was clean and had plenty of TP. Saw coyotes on the dirt road, so don’t leave food out. Also saw some pretty creepy lights that I assume have some border patrol purpose just to the north. Bored CBP agents questioned me twice in the monument (in <24 hrs). Not a knock to the campground, just that make-work program.
