Campgrounds near Tornillo
Tornillo sits in far west Texas along the Rio Grande in El Paso County, roughly 30 miles southeast of downtown El Paso. The area is Chihuahuan Desert country: wide agricultural valleys, mesquite flats, and mountain views. Most RV travelers use Tornillo as a quieter base than central El Paso while still keeping the city, Franklin Mountains State Park, and Hueco Tanks State Park within an easy drive.
Closest to town, HideAway Lakes is a reservation-based fishing and camping property with designated RV and tent sites, restrooms, showers, and a dump station. Moving toward El Paso along the I-10 corridor, Mission RV Park and Mission Trail Motorhome Park and RV Park serve the east side of the metro with full hookups, while El Paso Roadrunner RV Park offers another paved-site option closer to the city core.
For travelers wanting something more remote and off-grid, Mountain Hut provides desert acreage with mountain views a short drive from the Franklin Mountains and Hueco Tanks.
Things to do near Tornillo
Fishing is a local draw. HideAway Lakes centers on quiet lake fishing, and anglers also head west to Ascarate Lake near El Paso for shore casting. Franklin Mountains State Park, inside El Paso city limits, protects tens of thousands of acres of trails, wildlife, and desert scenery, with hiking that ranges from short loops to the summit push up North Franklin Peak.
Hueco Tanks State Park and Historic Site, about 45 minutes north, is a world-class bouldering destination with hundreds of rock art sites and more than 200 recorded bird species. Access is capped and controlled, so plan ahead. History-minded travelers can follow the El Paso Mission Trail through Ysleta, Socorro, and San Elizario, all within a short drive of Tornillo.

Top Hosts near Tornillo, TX
Roberto 4 trips - Joined Sep 2023
This was a last minute trip that many other RV owners declined. Roberto was available and willing. I have no complaints or negative things to say about any of my experience renting from him and his family. They were absolutely wonderful to work with. Communication was great, very fair owners, and they are just great people overall. Also, everything in the RV was clean and in order. The master bed is super comfy! Would recommend and would rent again.
Raphael A. - Apr 2025
The experience was exceptional. The host communicated all necessary information for pickup and provided detailed instructions for setup. They also supplied all the necessary equipment, tools, and amenities to ensure a hassle-free getaway for my family. If you're a small family looking to embark on your first RV adventure, I highly recommend this host.

How to book near Tornillo
Private RV parks near Tornillo, including HideAway Lakes, Mission RV Park, Mission Trail Motorhome Park and RV Park, El Paso Roadrunner RV Park, and Mountain Hut, take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. HideAway Lakes reviews reservations based on capacity, so submit dates early and wait for confirmation.
Texas State Parks use a central reservation system. Franklin Mountains sites can be booked online through the Texas State Parks portal. Hueco Tanks is different: both campsites and North Mountain day-use permits must be reserved by phone at 512-389-8911, up to three months in advance, and campsite stays are limited to three consecutive nights. Peak-season permits fill quickly, so book as soon as your window opens.
What to expect near Tornillo
Expect wide desert highways and easy RV driving. I-10 and Loop 375 are well suited to larger rigs, and most Tornillo-area parks are accessed by paved routes off Alameda Avenue or FM 1109. Watch for blowing dust and strong crosswinds, especially in spring and during summer monsoon storms.
Private RV parks in the corridor typically offer full hookups with 30- and 50-amp service, laundry, and on-site dump stations. State park sites at Hueco Tanks include water and, at most sites, electric, but no wood or charcoal fires are permitted anywhere in that park.
Come prepared for the desert. Bring sun protection, plenty of drinking water, and shade solutions for pets. Cell service is generally solid along I-10 but can drop off in the outlying desert around Hueco Tanks and Mountain Hut.
