When I stayed at Big Bend Ranch, we stayed at the Escondido Pens camp site. We went there for the Thanksgiving break.

There was no water on site, we had to bring it from the ranger station. There also wasn't a lot of shade, despite the shade structure that was on site. There was a composting toilet near by.

The roads were a bit rough, but we did it with our 15 passenger van.

We did a few hikes, which were quiet enjoyable.

Over all, a nice park that is more primitive than most.
