Big Bend NP - Gravel Pit
Reviewed Oct. 17, 2021

Rough road

You need a 4x4 to get in here or else it’ll take 40+ min just to get to site 1. Low clearance vehicles will not make it anymore. Several washouts make the road very rough. Ranger knew we were two women and also knew Mexicans cross in horseback.. why we were given this site is beyond me. You MUST lock up your valuables. Can NOT stake tents- ground is loose gravel for an inch then all rock. Even with rocks in tent wind is so strong it started to move. Pretty site but not worth it. Also even though you are less then a 1/2 click from the Rio Grande, you can not see it from any of the sites.
