Guadalupe Mountains National Park is a little out of the way. There is no gasoline available in the park, so you’d better gas up in Van Horn or El Paso for full services (gas, diesel, food, ice). Whites City and Carlsbad, New Mexico, 35 miles (56 km) and 56 miles (90 km) north of the park, respectively, both offer gas stations as well, but with not as many services as the larger cities further away.

If you are driving an electric vehicle (EV), the closest chargers are located in Van Horn, Texas, 63 miles (101 km) south of the park, and Carlsbad, New Mexico, 51 miles (82 km) north of the park.

In addition to fuel for your vehicle, bring plenty of water and food, as there is no restaurant or grocery within the park.
