Gravel Pit — Big Bend National Park
Reviewed Apr. 12, 2024

Beautiful and remote but potential for high wind

We loved the experience of driving some backcountry roads to this campsite without having to go too far. We felt the road was in pretty good condition for a dirt road, took us about 20 minutes to get from the highway to Gravel Pit 1 in our truck. Probably need 4 wheel drive, which is what the park recommends anyways. The night we stayed here was extremely windy without any cover, so check the forecast if you’re going to be in a tent or anything compromised by wind.
