Where to sleep around Las Cruces, NM in May

[AggieOE]

I wanted to pick the brains of those in this area or have traveled through. If arriving late, where would you overnight in the Las Cruces region? I see White Sands isn't too far and there is some BLM around.
Thanks.

Probably too late but the Valley of Fires campground was nice, they have tent and RV sites. It’s about 3 miles outside Carrizozo, NM.

Great Place and go into Town for Green Chili-Burgers

Dripping springs is an easy place to park up for free for the night
