Chisos Basin Campground (Big Bend, TX)

Great campground. Our spot was more level than expected considering the warning. But maybe we were lucky

Exceptional service by all staff and campground hosts. Lack of water at Chisos Basin was very well announced.

We really enjoyed hiking The Window and Lost Mine trails. We were in a 24 ft class B camper van and the camp sites are small and not level. The dump station was fine but there was an issue with the pump so no water was available.

Perfect site with stunning views!!

Staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed hiking the Lone Mountain trail which is a fairly new trail. Santa Elena, Boquillas Canyon and the Lost Mine Trail gave wonderful scenic views and photographic opportunities. I also enjoyed the plants and birds.

Very convenient location for the campsite, centrally located and close to bathroom/water spigot. Shade structure is nice to have during the day, bear box is large and has space for many things. Similar to other campsites, it is rather small. No natural barrier between this site and others, many campsites in the Chisos are the same due to relatively sparse vegetation. Can't be helped, really, as that is the area's ecology, however, the lack of natural barriers led to many people walking through our campsite on the way to the bathroom/water. Additionally, due to small size of each campsite, you are in close proximity to others and can easily hear conversation, music, and even snoring at night. Would recommend ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Despite this, was a great spot and I'd highly recommend it.

incredible campsite - bad timing with the water issue, but very well kept site with everything you could need

Incredible first time visiting! Please be smart and prepare for this trip. Fill gas tank and bring plenty of water

First time visiting Big Bend and loved how beautiful this camp group is, will camp there again next time I visit

Beautiful place!
