The drive to the campground is beautiful Stargazing was phenomenal.
Site and facilities well-maintained. It's very isolated so be comfortable with that.

Nice facilities, lots of solitude - road to the site is remote so be prepared with everything needed

It's a journey to get to this side of the park, but it's worth it. The campground is very nice, and a great spot to anchor hiking, stargazing, etc. Bring everything you need with you!

My husband and I have a small travel trailer and we drove out there not the best road for an RV lots of cattle guards that are sinking it is a 60 mile trip one way . The desolation and vastness was beautiful . We were very underwhelmed with the sites 5 of them all lined up no more than 10ft apart no trees no plants no nothing all that vast space and they put you in a tiny area might as well been in a parking lot and nothing to do but hike , hike and hike ; no lake ; river water hole; nothing but very long trail hikes at high altitude and a 60 mile rough ride out . So it’s for hiking which is fine but my goodness fix the Camping part it’s a National Park maybe more people would go

Incredible campground, best in the park. Go here if you can over pine springs.

Likely one of the most beautiful and serence places to camp in all of Texas. Always clean and the volunteer ranger is just a joy to interact with, he's been there almost 20 years.
