    Elephant Tusk Primitive Dispersed Campsite — Big Bend National Park

    Great Backcountry Campsite

    This campsite is off of Black Gap Road which is well known as the roughest unmaintained road in the park. The rangers will tell you this. You also have to be on rough dirt roads for a couple hours to even get to the site. If you want off-road adventure, don’t mind some desert pinstripes and want a great remote campsite this is it. It is big enough to for one vehicle and one tent with absolutely zero shade. It is at a trail head with an amazing up close view of elephant tusk.

    Don’t go unless you want your vehicle scratched.

    The road leading in is one of the worst in the park because it’s un maintained and very very narrow, I recommend taking the river road then heading north on black gap road to make it somewhat easier on your vehicle. There’s a decent trailhead by the camp and it’s pretty close to the old mercury mine in the park those are the only upsides.
