I-10 is your main artery through Anthony, connecting you to Las Cruces (20 miles north) and El Paso (15 miles south). Traffic moves fast here, and truck traffic is heavy -- stay alert when entering and exiting. I-25 intersects I-10 just west of Las Cruces, making this area a natural stopping point for north-south travelers.
NM 404 (O'Hara Road) runs parallel to I-10 and offers a quieter route if you're heading toward Chaparral or eastern communities. NM 460 (Anthony Drive) is the main drag through town. US-70 is accessible via Las Cruces for those continuing east.
Overnight parking at rest areas along I-10 is typically tolerated for a few hours, but don't count on it for extended stays. Walmart and truck stops in nearby Las Cruces or El Paso are better bets if you need a safe spot to sleep before dumping tanks in the morning.

Best Time to Visit Anthony by RV
Winter
December-February
35-60°F
Crowds: Medium
Snowbirds heading to Arizona and Southern California create steady I-10 traffic, but it's manageable. Nights drop below freezing occasionally, so protect your hoses and connections.
Spring
March-May
50-85°F
Crowds: Medium
Perfect temperatures but brutal winds. March and April bring sustained gusts and dust storms that reduce visibility on I-10. Secure your rig and check forecasts daily before traveling.
Summer
June-August
75-100°F
Crowds: Low
Brutal heat keeps traffic lighter than other seasons. Dump early morning or evening to avoid working in 100-degree sun. Monsoon thunderstorms July-August can flood low areas quickly.
Fall
September-November
55-85°F
Crowds: High
Peak season for I-10 travelers. Snowbirds return south, and pleasant temperatures bring everyone out. Expect busier dump stations and longer waits at popular facilities, especially weekends.

Spring winds in the Rio Grande Valley are no joke. March through May can bring sustained gusts that'll test your awning anchors and sandblast your rig. Secure everything before you settle in, and keep an eye on weather forecasts. Dust storms reduce visibility fast on I-10.
