The campground is one of the lower places in elevation, 2200 feet in the national park, it is hot in sprint and summer, over 100F at summer afternoons. Not recommended from May to September, use instead Chisos Basin Campground(5,400 feet) where the temperature is lower 15 to 20 degrees than any campground near the Rio Grande

The view of the Chisos Mountain is fantastic, especially at dawn. This RV Park includes 12 large pull-through sites and 17 back-in sites with 50/30-amp, water and sewage. The Recreation building has 3 complete washrooms with showers; a community kitchen with a fridge and microwave; a variety of cookware and dinnerware; and 2 sets of washers and dryers. The pavilion is also available and includes tables, chairs, a smoker/cooker and a community fire pit. There are pot lucks and other events to participate in and the atmosphere and terrain are unmatchable. They LOVE pets and well behaved ones are even allowed to play off leash. But at night there are desert creatures so keep them inside. Terlingua is a “ghost town” that is worth spending time in. There are cantinas and restaurants, there’s an eccentric trading post store, a famous cemetery, and an annual chili cook off. The community is quirky but it feels like home. I take an annual trip to this area and BJs has my business every time. PS: all the food in town is GOOD.

Feb/March 2021. I did not camp here but used their very clean showers ($10) and laundromat several times while camping in Big Bend Ranch State Park. There is free WiFi and cell service available, which doesn’t exist in the State Park. I also had to have a document printed from my phone, which the camp office personnel was kind enough to do. Every staff person I interacted with was pleasant and helpful.

There is a beautiful and inviting swimming pool with lounge chairs and tables for picnics. Next to the pool area, there’s a large recreation room with TV.

There is a small grocery store (very limited) an easy walk away in Lajitis that also offers simple take out breakfast and lunch.

Maverick Ranch is an excellent place to stay in Lajitis if you have a big rig.

This place was the crème de la crème imo. Nice big sites with full hookup, picnic table and fire ring. A really nice pool area with free towels provided and very nice bathrooms with hot showers. There was a huge laundry facility as well. The dog park has water and two picnic tables with sun shades. Multiple poo bag stations around the park and very clean. There’s a trail/dirt road to walk from the campground to the Lajitas General Store (very good breakfast sandwiches). You also get access to the golf resort amenities: fitness center, 3 restaurants, and spa. I treated myself to a Deep Tissue massage and it was incredible!

Our maiden voyage in our 41 foot fifth wheel. A little concerned about finding a campground that could accommodate us, and have plenty of room. Big Bend Resort got us set up fine. 30, and 50, amp service with water and sewer. Our trip was during the third week of September, so campground was basically empty. Very clean campground, and the resort personnel were very friendly, and helpful. Our destination, while camping, was Big Bend National Park. Big Bend Resort was great location, as it was only about 20 minutes to Chisos Basin. We will most definitely be going back

Best campground ever !! It is located right outside Big Bend State Park. Very scenic route with beautiful mountains.. Stores are located a short drive away..

Campground is well laid out. Comfortable distance between each site.

Each site offers electric hook up, water (with its own sink) BBQ pit, picnic table and burn fire pit. Free wifi included !!!

Flushable toilets and hot showers !! Casey kept these spotless !!

David has one thing in mind and that is to keep you very comfortable !! To enjoy your time and relax !! We arrived one day early and David made room for us for that night ! (Free) We greatly appreciated that !!

I can not express how great this place is !! I would give them a 10 star ! I highly recommend this campground..

We will definitely be back !!

Thank you David and Casey for making our stay a memorable one :)

The is a Big Bend National National Park Campsite. The Camp is adjacent to the Rio Grande River and a popular camping spot for can expeditions. The site is sometimes an overflow from Chisos Basin Campers during busy season. The sites are in a grass meadow in one large loop. During the off-season this campground is usually close to empty. The major advantage is river access and proximity to the Santa Elena Canyon. They have basic restrooms, fire pits, and tables. If you are traveling along the Rio Grande this is a great option. You don’t get the scenic vistas from this site due to its low lying elevation.
