Aguirre Spring Recreation Area and Campground is a Bureau of Land Management site in southern New Mexico, set within the Organ Mountains Wilderness and falling under the Las Cruces District Office. It's a base for both overnight stays and day visits, with climbing areas and hiking trails close at hand. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Las Cruces show April highs around 77°F with lows near 39°F and October similar, while summer highs climb into the mid-90s. That station sits well below the wilderness, so temperatures up high run cooler. The area charges a fee for activities. Within a few tenths of a mile are the Cactararium and Aguirre Bouldering climbing areas, along with the Pine Tree Loop hike and the Snake Den climbing area.
