Best campground in Big Bend!

Awesome spot! High and cool in the Chisos, centrally located within Big Bend Park. Great views of the Chisos. Great sunsets. Trailheads in the campground give you access to the Window Trail, Basin Trail, and the Chisos Mountains trails network. Not all sites are available by reservation, so it's possible to get first-come, first-served site if you show up early, but this campground fills up quickly. Shade is at a premium, so try to get a site with a covered area. Supplies (not gas) available at Basin Store, and 3 hot meals/day at the Chisos Lodge. Both are directly above the campground.
