Coyote Crossing

Coyote Crossing, near Big Bend National Park, is a rugged camping spot that offers a true escape into nature. With just a couple of sites spread across 20 acres, you can pick your own spot and enjoy stunning views of the desert and mountains.

This place is all about primitive camping, so don’t expect fancy amenities. Visitors rave about the clean porta house and the camp host, Rob, who’s known for being friendly and full of local knowledge. As one camper put it, “We literally had the best time staying at site #3!!”

The night sky here is something else, with many campers noting the breathtaking views of stars. You might even hear the coyotes howling at night, adding to the wild atmosphere. If you’re into exploring, you’ll find interesting rocks and shells scattered around the hills, making it a great spot for a little adventure.

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.

Great for Views, Low Maintenance Campers, and the Brave

It’s called Coyote Crossing for a reason. Was woken up from the howling of coyotes ever few hours. Some were walking around our tent. The toilets are true old school outhouses that you climb up into but look something like what you’d see in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre Movie with skeletons of a bull hanging on the back. However it was neat exploring around the hills where you can find millions of years old shells and cool rocks. The sunrise was absolutely gorgeous the next morning and you’re pretty far away from your neighbors.
