This spot had great views. There were plenty of spots for a 2 wheel drive vehicle. Super dog friendly. Easy access to the trash cans. Fun and interesting bathrooms but we were here for the adventure. We’d recommend this place. We want to open one just like it for ourselves! Thanks again!

Quiet and convenient
Tent
Absolutely gorgeous night sky here! Almost a 360 degree view. Basically silent except for a very few cars during the night and some coyotes. Easy to find. Only one other vehicle. Some cell service - T-Mobil had 2 bars.

Great for large groups
Tent · With kids
We drove from Oklahoma to visit Big Bend National Park, and stayed here for 3 nights with a large group. The camp had multiple spots that were flat for trucks with roof top tents. The compositing toilets were clean and functional. We would gladly stay here again when we return.
