Madera Canyon Roadside Park Dispersed

Wal traveling from Big Bend NP to El Paso and thus wa sthe perfect place to stop for the night.

This is a spectacular location for star gazing. It's also close to the McDonald Observatory. This is an important historical site and I would strongly recommend getting a tour.

The campsite was very quiet and privacy is better than anything else in West Texas. Great hiking trail. The only downsides are the wind.

super quiet. right off the highway, but very little traffic. pretty level spots. i take my converted cargo trailer often.  the hike is an easy one with small children and gives visitors a taste of the actual landscape of Jeff Davis mountains, TX

Awesome free camping. No cell service.
