Experience the raw, rugged beauty of New Mexico’s high desert at the McGregor Range. Managed by the BLM and U.S. Army, this vast landscape offers a true primitive camping experience for self-reliant adventurers. Spanning over 606,000 acres near Otero Mesa, the area is perfect for those seeking solitude, tent camping, and expansive hiking opportunities under wide-open skies. Because this is an active military training area, access requires a Fort Bliss Training Complex (FBTC) Recreational Access Permit and is subject to closure during training exercises. Ideal for experienced campers prepared for off-grid conditions, this year-round destination provides a unique, quiet escape into the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert.
