Big Bend
We literally had the best time staying at site #3!! When you arrive, you can pick any spot that's open! It's primitive but the views of the desert and mountains are incredible!!! The location was great too (it's right outside the entrance to Big Bend National Park), the porta house was clean and had a view (and I mean it was awesome with woodchips and all) Rob is the camp host and he was fantastic!!!! I have nothing negative to say at all!!! Highly recommended and would stay here again if we came back to Big Bend!!! Plus the price is extremely fair for what you get!

Amazing skyline
This is boondocking. The camp host is an amazing guy. Super friendy and very informative about the local area. The local general store has almost everything you need, including fresh water at 10¢ a gallon. The skyline is spectacular at any time of day but the night sky was breathtaking! 5⭐
Well kept rugged beauty
We arrived and were told that we had our pick of sites on 20 acres, after scouring the land for the best option we picked a place tucked away that would allow for an unobstructed view of the mountains. This was primitive, no frills camping and there were in fact coyotes. I kept all food products locked in my car which kept them from coming near my tent or bothering me at all. We also saw a UFO. Was it aliens? No idea.
