Guadalupe Mountains National Park offers two campgrounds: Pine Springs Campground is a simple, desert camping area situated at the base of the mountain. Dog Canyon is in a secluded, forested canyon on the north side of the park. Due to a slightly higher elevation and protected location beneath steep cliff walls, it remains cooler than Pine Springs campground in the summer and sheltered from strong gusty winds in winter and spring. Pets on a leash no longer than 6 feet are allowed in the campgrounds, and may be exercised on the trail between the campground and Pine Springs Visitor Center, and the Pinery Trail at the Visitor Center. Pets are not allowed on other park trails.
