I love camping in Big Bend National park. It's a shame the government won't put a little bit more effer and money into this place. The dump station right outside the campground is obviously leaking raw sewage on the ground and it stinks most of the time. There is power and water at the campground I don't understand why they won't make it more accessible to each campsite. I meant some really great people there. There are quite a few trails and internet is a 5-minute walk away at the camp store.
We stayed at the RV full hookup sites. The people running the store are very friendly. A nice place to view the stars. We experienced many different animals coming through the RV park- Coyote, javelina, road runners, bobcat, donkeys, horses, and cows. Each day it was a different thing. It was a fun stay and I recommend it.
Good price at $16 a night. Access to restrooms, water, a bear box, and a table with a covering. No formal check in process - I went in Mid November and it was nearly full, so book in advance.
I’m very glad we found this spot and stayed here. Long haul with three kids but worth it! It was nice to have full hook ups, and behind each spot, there was some space to spread out/picnic table. Like other reviews, it’s essentially a parking lot, but that’s okay — that’s a national park for ya! They’re not in the resort business :) While there for a long weekend, we saw coyotes, cows?!, a roadrunner, and much more. Beautiful view of Boquillas Canyon! Only reason for one star removed was the park store/facilities/staff. Nothing terrible but nothing to write home about either. Ex: My kids wanted ice cream one afternoon, and as soon as they selected their choices, the workers immediately and repeatedly said to go outside to eat it. I’m like … we were. I have to pay, right? No one has opened anything. So, like I get it, but there’s a nice way to say it and a mean way to say it and it was veering more toward rude, to me. Also, be advised the facilities (laundry and restrooms) are open 24 hours a day EXCEPT 8-9am for cleaning. By 9am, there were handfuls of people waiting to use the restroom or wash up. So be advised when you have to pee at 8:15. You gotta go somewhere else! Plan accordingly. Otherwise, come for the hikes, stay for the stars ✨ and enjoy your time in one of the most beautiful places!
Very nice campground in Big Bend National Park! The campground had everything we needed, electric, water, and sewer. However, I was a bit confused when the NPS app & website stated that wifi was available here year round. This led us to thinking that we would have wifi access directly at our campsite, especially since there is no cell service in Big Bend. This is not the case though, wifi is only available at the store located within walking distance from the campsites. Horses also camp up to the campground, not sure if they were wild or domestic but provided some fun for us! Other than that, a very nice campground!
