Campgrounds near La Union, New Mexico
La Union sits in New Mexico's Mesilla Valley just north of the Texas state line, roughly fifteen miles northwest of downtown El Paso. The village is agricultural country, flanked by pecan groves and the Rio Grande, with the Franklin Mountains rising to the east and the Organ Mountains visible to the north. Most RV infrastructure is clustered in El Paso and Las Cruces, so travelers typically base out of one of those cities and use La Union as a scenic detour or wine-country stop.
Options closest to La Union include Gaslight Square Mobile Home and RV Park and El Paso West RV Park on the west side of El Paso, plus Road Host RV Monthly Extended Stay in El Paso for longer bookings. Hacienda RV Resort sits about forty-five minutes north near Old Mesilla in Las Cruces and is a common base camp for southern New Mexico trips.
For a more rugged setting, Franklin Mountains State Park spans a large section of Chihuahuan Desert terrain within El Paso city limits, offering dry camping under the peaks a short drive from La Union.
Things to do near La Union
The immediate area is known for pecan orchards, small wineries, and easy access to the Rio Grande. Old Mesilla, about twenty minutes north, offers historic plaza shops and restaurants and is a straightforward day trip from any Las Cruces campground.
Hiking and mountain biking are the main draws east of town. Franklin Mountains State Park offers over 125 miles of multi-use trails, primitive camping, rock climbing, and views from peaks reaching 7,192 feet. Trailheads in the Tom Mays Unit are reached from the Canutillo/Trans-Mountain Road exit off I-10.
Families often add White Sands National Park, about seventy miles north, for dune sledding and short interpretive walks. Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, north of Las Cruces, adds Aguirre Spring and Dripping Springs for additional hiking within an hour's drive.

Spring and fall are the practical camping windows. Spring runs March through May and fall runs September through November, and these are considered the most comfortable seasons for the Franklin Mountains area. Days are warm, nights are cool, and trail conditions are generally dry. Spring winds can be strong, particularly in March and April, which matters when leveling awnings or setting up shade.
Summer is hot. Daytime highs typically reach the mid-90s Fahrenheit, and thunderstorm activity peaks during July and August. The North American monsoon brings brief but intense afternoon storms and occasional flash flooding in desert washes, so campers should check forecasts and avoid dry drainages.
Winter is the quiet season. Days are mild and mostly sunny, but nights routinely fall below freezing. Snow is rare in the valley but possible on the higher slopes of the Franklins. Full-hookup parks in El Paso and Las Cruces stay open year-round and see steady snowbird traffic from December through March.
How to book campsites in the area
Private RV parks in the La Union and El Paso area, including Gaslight Square Mobile Home and RV Park, El Paso West RV Park, Road Host RV Monthly Extended Stay in El Paso, and Hacienda RV Resort, are booked directly through each park by phone or website. Monthly and seasonal rates are common; call ahead in winter, when snowbird traffic can fill sites for weeks at a time.
Franklin Mountains State Park uses the Texas state park reservation system. Campsite reservations can be made up to five months in advance, and daily entrance passes up to one month in advance. The park often reaches capacity, and reservations are highly recommended for both camping and day use. Passes can be reserved online or by calling the Texas Parks and Wildlife customer service center before a visit.
What to expect on arrival
The private RV parks near La Union are working parks rather than resorts. Expect paved or gravel pads, full hookups at most sites, laundry, and Wi-Fi of varying quality. Hacienda RV Resort in Las Cruces is more amenity-heavy, with landscaped sites and views toward the Organ Mountains.
Franklin Mountains State Park is dry camping. All campsites are in the Tom Mays Unit, with walk-in tent sites and five drive-in RV sites (RV1 through RV5). Sites have no water or electricity, so campers must bring enough water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. The Tom Mays Unit gate is generally open 8am to 5pm, with extended weekend hours from early April to early September. Cell service inside the park is limited, and I-10 traffic noise can reach the lower west-side private parks.
