Chisos Basin Campground (Big Bend, TX)

Campsite was quiet - I like the no generator zone. I took two wonderful hikes: the window and the South Rim loop. Great place

Beautiful area, so glad I was able to visit before the Chisos Basin closes for renovations next spring!

Beautiful quiet campground

We have tent camped in the Chisos Basin three times. Each time has been an amazing experience. The folks at the visitor center are very helpful, and the park hosts are incredible. Honestly the best advice I can give is that any sign or instruction from the website or park host is LEGIT. When they tell you to take more water than you think you need, do it. If a sign on a trails shows bears, be prepared that you may see a bear and memorize the tips on what to do if you see one up close (we have seen 6 bears in our time there). This is the coolest place in Texas -- definitely recommend going.

Chisos Campground is a great location right in the basin surrounded by mountains. Trails, nearby vistor center/store and some cell service are added bonuses.

Great location but the Chisos Basins facilities are in need of a refresher.

Chisos Basin Campground is an amazing campground to use as a base to discover the mountains of Big Bend NP. There are food lockers at each campsite which is very handy so we don't have to keep toting food back and forth. Campsite 7 was good if you like to be close to the bathroom and the dishwashing station (we liked it). The view is a bit "blocked" by the other campsites meaning you don't have an insta type of photos as your photos will always have cars or structures in it. However you will still have an amazing view. Site 7 also has a picnic structure so that really helps with shade, but can also block the stargazing a bit. There was also the camp hosts and they were very helpful. I think her name was Kim (sorry, I forgot!). Overall a great site and a great campground and the experience was just amazing.

Campsite was very clean when we arrived. Very roomy as we had two tents to set up.
Bathrooms were clean and warm. Nice to have a warm bathroom when it gets down to the 30's overnite.

Camp hosts were nice and friendly. Neighboring campsites were not too disruptive or noisy.

The campsite is absolutely gorgeous, we saw Mexican Jays, Deer, Roadrunners and Stick Bugs before even hitting any trails! It's also spacious and well-serviced.
I also wanted to give a shout-out to the volunteers on duty at the site, they were extremely kind and helpful.

the campsite was not good.. you had to click some stairs and it wasn't all rocky ground so you couldn't put the regular camp stakes.. the day before was real windy so if you didn't bring any spare you wouldn't have been able to set up your tent. hope you have a better experience but i recommend setting camp closer to the other camp sites
