Big Bend NP - Elephant Tusk Primitive Dispersed Campsite
Reviewed Jan. 21, 2022

Great Backcountry Campsite

This campsite is off of Black Gap Road which is well known as the roughest unmaintained road in the park. The rangers will tell you this. You also have to be on rough dirt roads for a couple hours to even get to the site. If you want off-road adventure, don’t mind some desert pinstripes and want a great remote campsite this is it. It is big enough to for one vehicle and one tent with absolutely zero shade. It is at a trail head with an amazing up close view of elephant tusk.
