White Sands in an RV
Two hundred and seventy square miles of white gypsum dunes, which people sled down on plastic discs. Most people give it 1 day.
When to goOctober through April. Check the missile range closures before you commit to a date.
What fitsUp to 30 feet. Access matters more than space here. A van gets where the big ones cannot.
What catches people outThere is no campground with hookups inside. Alamogordo is twenty minutes away and has several.
Where you would actually stay
Picked for the trip rather than a list somebody was paid to be on. Anything with a link books direct with them, and we will do it for you if you would rather not spend the evening on hold.
