Chisos Basin Campground (Big Bend, TX)

Signs need to be placed on the doors of the dishwashing stations. Signs on faucets need to indicate location of dishwashing stations. During the week, I ran into multiple people who had no knowledge of the dishwashing stations and were using the faucets.

Great views and great location diagonal from the bathrooms and water. Resident fox still holds true and a skunk strolled through our campground the first night

I stayed for 5 days tent camping in site 29. The views were amazing and I liked that it was on the end of the row. The parking for this site was awkward and my car got dinged in the middle of the night which set off the car alarm. Damage luckily was minor. The sites offer no privacy and conversations from all nearby sites are easily overheard. A crying baby in a nearby site kept me awake for two nights. Bathrooms were not cleaned daily and were left without toilet paper in some of the stalls. Camp hosts were very nice. I love the park though and had a week of fantastic hiking.

Restrooms right across the road. Dump station is closed. Water spigots also convenient Two trucks fit. Recommended

No cell service or wifi. No shower facility. Nevertheless, great views all around and complete peacefulness.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Chisos Basin campground. Our reserved sites were more than adequate for our large group. Good water. Good restrooms. Great camp host. Some us even had cell service in camp.

Surprising excellent Verizon coverage. Was able to stream the Super Bowl. Challenging campground though. Very hilly and not many sites suitable for even a small rv.

The campground areas at Chisos are really popular so expect to have some neighbors close by, but it was still a great space. It was especially nice having fresh drinking water and a real sink for kitchen cleanup at the campground restrooms.

Such a beautiful setting we enjoyed every minute at this campground. I’ve said it before, you have to read the campsite description to see if it will work for you. If your giant van doesn’t fit in a spot, it’s your fault, not the hosts. The single guy that’s been a host there for ten years is a hoot and does such a great job. Site 32 is perfect for our camper truck, Tacoma, but again read the description. Great spot for the best hiking in the park. So glad to spend time there before it shuts down for 2 years!

I usually don't like being right next to a bathroom, but it was not an issue at all. The site was spacious, but there is no cover which was a real drawback as the weather was unseasonably warm. It is right across from the entrance to the Window Trail so there's a fair amount of 'foot traffic' passing by during the day. There are no sites right next to it, and only one sort of across the drive so in that respect it's kind of nice. The dumpsters are a ways away on the other side of the campground, but there is recycle next to the bathroom.
