Big Bend modern campgrounds are first come first serve, during popular seasons make sure that you arrive early and are prepared to not find a campsite. This can be very frustrating if you aren't prepared for it.

The campgrounds are modern and offer tables, access to facilities, running water, electricity, fire pits, and improved camping pads. Many of the sites are very small, so setting up a large tent or more than one small tent may be difficult. It gets hot and cold very quickly. The campground also has access to a store which is a short hike uphill, or an even shorter drive, however there is also a hotel up the hill so parking may prove to be difficult. Campground has trail access to one of the most popular trails in the park. The campground are dog friendly, however dogs are only permitted in areas where vehicles are permitted. There is no mountain biking permitted on hiking trails in this park, however the state park does provide MTB trails - dogs are still not permitted on state park trails.

We went during spring break, this is evidently a very popular spring break destination. We were very fortunate to secure a campsite.
