Johnson Ranch sits along the Rio Grande in Big Bend National Park, accessed via dirt roads that require careful navigation. The National Park Service manages this drive-in campground where sites sit close together, with one reviewer noting campsites positioned just 30 feet apart. Wild pigs roam through camp at night, and visitors report seeing wild horses including a mare with her foal near the river.
Historical remnants dot the area, including building foundations and marked graves from the original Johnson Ranch operation. The Gauging Station — Big Bend National Park provides another riverside option nearby for those preferring different site spacing.
