Gleatherland Ranch

18 RV Sites

Gleatherland Ranch occupies 18 scenic acres in El Paso, Texas—a campground and glamping property three miles from Hueco Tanks State Park, the volcanic rock formation complex that is simultaneously one of Texas's most ecologically diverse geological landmarks, the most significant rock art site in the Chihuahuan Desert, and one of the premier bouldering destinations in North America. The ranch's position just outside the Hueco Tanks boundary makes it the closest camping option to the park for the climbing, hiking, and rock art touring guests who fill the park's limited daily entry slots. Fifty campsites divide between 30 primitive sites and 20 RV sites with electric service and gray water and potable water hookups, with yurts and vacation rental accommodation providing glamping options for guests who prefer enclosed shelter in the high desert environment. Coin-operated showers with on-demand hot water, flush toilets, WiFi, a communal fire pit, dump station, and a barn structure handle the practical facility needs across the property. The 18-acre site scale provides meaningful space between sites relative to the dense urban RV park model, and the Chihuahuan Desert landscape surrounding the property delivers the visual character of the Trans-Pecos Texas mountain-and-desert terrain that makes the El Paso area visually distinctive from the flat Permian Basin to the east. Hueco Tanks State Park and Historic Site encompasses 860 acres of volcanic sill intrusions and hollows — the "hueco" that gives the park its name from the Spanish word for hollow or cavity — that have collected rainwater for thousands of years and supported human habitation from the Jornada Mogollon culture through Apache encampments to the Butterfield Overland Mail Route station that operated here in the 1850s. The park's rock art includes over 200 painted masks — many in excellent preservation condition in sheltered cave and overhang locations — that constitute one of the most important Native American pictograph collections in the American Southwest. The Hueco Tanks bouldering circuit has developed since the 1980s into a world-recognized technical climbing destination where the volcanic rock's unusual texture and hold configuration have generated a concentration of high-difficulty boulder problems. Franklin Mountains State Park, within El Paso city limits, is the largest urban wilderness state park in the United States — 26,000 acres of Chihuahuan Desert mountain terrain rising from 3,700 feet at the base to 7,192 feet at the North Franklin Peak summit, with hiking trails ranging from the Franklin Mountains State Park trail system into the Interior Peaks and the Wyler Aerial Tramway providing a gondola ascent to the Franklin crest for panoramic views across the El Paso metro, Juárez, and the Rio Grande valley. The El Paso Zoo and the El Paso Museum of Art in the downtown civic core round out the cultural infrastructure accessible from the ranch. Gleatherland Ranch operates year-round in the Chihuahuan Desert climate where El Paso's 300 days of annual sunshine and low humidity make outdoor camping comfortable across most of the calendar year. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall from March through May and September through November provide the most temperate camping conditions — daytime highs in the 70s and 80s with cool nights — and the winter months from December through February are mild enough for comfortable camping with nighttime temperatures typically above freezing. The Hueco Tanks reservation system operates a limited daily entry capacity that makes advance planning essential for climbing and rock art touring visits.

Munds Park RV Resort

39 RV Sites

Munds Park RV Resort sits at 6,600 feet elevation in a ponderosa pine forest 14 miles south of Flagstaff — a high-altitude mountain escape where summer temperatures remain comfortably in the 70s and 80s while the low desert bakes below. Positioned directly on I-17 between Flagstaff and the Sedona area, Munds Park RV Resort serves as the ideal northern Arizona base camp: cool, forested, and within striking distance of some of the most iconic landscapes in the American West. Munds Park RV Resort prices reflect the premium pine-forest positioning and the resort's multi-destination convenience. Full hookup sites are nestled among towering ponderosa pines that provide genuine shade and the distinctive high-altitude pine scent that makes the munds park rv experience feel fundamentally different from the desert parks an hour downhill. A pool and spa, fitness center, dog park, laundry facilities, general store, propane refills, complimentary WiFi, and a recreation hall with live concerts and a bar round out an amenity lineup that makes multi-night stays comfortable and socially engaging. Pets are welcome. The resort operates April 1 through October 31, capturing Arizona's finest high-country weather season. The Coconino National Forest surrounding the resort provides hiking, mountain biking, and ATV trail access directly from the property edge — the kind of immediate trail connectivity that eliminates the drive-to-the-trailhead routine and keeps outdoor recreation genuinely connected to camp life. Sedona, approximately 25 miles south via Oak Creek Canyon on State Route 89A — one of the most scenic drives in Arizona — offers the famous red rock formations, Pink Jeep tours, vortex sites, and Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village that have made it Arizona's second most-visited destination after the Grand Canyon. Flagstaff, 14 miles north, is a genuine mountain university town with the Lowell Observatory, Museum of Northern Arizona, Historic Route 66 downtown, and Snowbowl ski resort. The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is roughly 80 miles from camp — a full day trip that most Munds Park guests make at least once, often on the first visit. Munds Park RV resort's season from April through October captures the full arc of Arizona high-country character — spring wildflowers, summer monsoon thunderstorm evenings over the pines, and spectacular fall color as the aspens above Flagstaff turn in late September. Reserve early for summer weekends and the Sedona-area festival seasons, when demand from Phoenix-area residents seeking pine-tree relief fills munds rv park sites well ahead of arrival.
