South Rim 4 Loop Backpacking Site — Big Bend National Park

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hike-in access only, no pets permitted, and no water or hookups on-site: South Rim 4 Loop Backpacking Site in Big Bend National Park sets clear expectations before you leave the trailhead. Fire damage from a burn a few years back has left most trees gone, and the ground shows dark ash-grey soil, so photos you find online may not reflect current conditions. The cactus has recovered. Wind can be severe at night even when calm at setup, so stake tents thoroughly and bring extra anchoring weight. Campers planning a broader trip can browse camping near Big Bend National Park for additional options in the region. Toll Mountain (TM1) Campground sits roughly 2.5 miles north if you want a nearby alternative. The rim views and dark skies are the draw here; plan around those conditions.

At One Time Probably Was Awesome

The pictures posted of this site are outdated. A fire came through this area a couple of years back and the site was ravaged by the fires. The cactus have recovered, but any tree of any sort is burned. It will be years before it returns to its beauty. The dirt in the campsite is a dark grey due to the ash. That said the views from the rim are awesome and you will more than likely not see anyone else in the area from dusk to dawn. Star viewing is incredible. The rating of a 3 is an average of location and views (5) and condition of the site itself (1).

Awesome site!

Really enjoyed this campsite but the wind was INTENSE. So intense that we needed one person to weigh down a tent for the other to use the restroom (yes the tents were staked down). Gorgeous views... but the wind was the main conversation topic as it kept us up a majority of the night. It wasn’t windy when we set up camp though, so beware. Not sure if that’s a rare occurrence or typical for this site.
