Along with the very literal size requirements of the Chisos Basin Campground, there are other recommendations of the park that one should take very literally. Among these are bring (and consume) enough water, and the 4-wheel drive, high clearance recommendations of certain back-country camping…

Just like the other backcountry primitive sites in big bend, bear box only - no other amenities. It was not clear where the tentsites actually are... the whole area looked like a washed out dust bowl/drive way. Nice views from on top of the hill.

Hi clearance roads. Primitive site, no facilities. Drive up to site. Incredibly quiet and amazing stars. Saw a few snakes (none dangerous), deer, lots of birds. Pretty shady, near water. Great views nearby. Convenient to other areas in Big Bend but not so much to do right on the campgrounds.
