Paint Gap #3

Off a rough dirt road in Big Bend's backcountry, Paint Gap #3 sits in a canyon setting that accommodates RVs up to 30 feet, though one reviewer suggests keeping trailers under 19 feet for easier maneuvering. The National Park Service maintains this drive-in site with a bear box due to local wildlife including bears and javelinas.

Four sites total occupy the Paint Gap area, with this location offering level ground for RVs and a flat spot for tent camping. The access road requires careful driving but remains passable for two-wheel-drive vehicles in good weather conditions. Nearby Croton Springs Primitive Roadside Campsite provides another backcountry option for campers exploring the park's remote areas.
