Campground was great. Very pretty area. Bathrooms were good. Close to the lodge restaurant and the camp store. The only complaint would be the camp sites are really inconsistent on what they provide. Some are shaded, some aren’t. Some have shelters, some don’t. Some are off the roadway, some make you park on the road. There is no real good way to tell what you are getting until you get there.

Awesome park! Campsites were quiet, clean, and organized. Park rangers readily available and helpful. Bathrooms and facilities clean and upkept. Trails easy to follow and maintained. Already booked another adventure there!

Was only there for a day but had a great time. Road to Santa Elena was closed so made it hard to get to there.

This location has the most impressive 360° views of any campsite I've ever visited! From the panoramic views to minute details, the camping area alone would have been worth the long trip. Nearby hiking and drives with additional amazing panoramas make this park a worthwhile effort to see! Well informed Park Rangers with genuine concern about wildlife and campers safety and interaction was the exceptional highlight of the entire experience! We plan to come back!

If you’re thinking about camping in Big Bend, absolutely choose Chisos Basin campground. It is going to be at least 10 degrees cooler than RGV campground and it’s convenient to the Windows Trail and Lost Mine Trail. The camp hosts were so awesome too. They welcome you and are a wealth of information about the park and how to plan your day(s). They are also there to make sure you don’t get into trouble so stop by and spend some time talking with them and you will enjoy your time in Big Bend so much more. I can’t wait to go back.
