Pine Canyon, near Big Bend National Park, is a fantastic spot for those who crave a true primitive camping experience. With a handful of designated sites, it offers a peaceful retreat where you can soak in the stunning views and enjoy the serenity of nature.

The campsites are well-separated, providing a sense of privacy that many visitors appreciate. Reviewers have raved about the beautiful scenery, with one camper noting, “It’s accessible to most vehicles, as it’s not that deep in the backcountry.” Just remember, you’ll need to bring your own water and supplies since amenities are minimal.

For those who love hiking, Pine Canyon is close to some amazing trails, making it a great base for exploring the park. The dirt road leading in is manageable for most vehicles, but a high clearance is recommended. Campers have enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, with one saying, “Didn’t see any other people while at camp,” which speaks volumes about the tranquility you can expect.

If you’re looking for a place to disconnect and enjoy the great outdoors, Pine Canyon is definitely worth considering. Just pack your gear, grab some friends, and get ready for a memorable camping adventure under the stars.

Pretty Awesome primitive camping that doesn’t need 4WD!

We camp in our Chevy van and such lots of the primitive back country camping isn’t accessible to us BUT these sites are awesome, accessible, quiet and remote and beautiful. All the things we wanted in primitive camping. There are 6 sites in the Pine Canyon area (Nugent Mtn sites are on the same road prior to this). We saw sites 1-5 so can’t speak to site 6. The road is dirt/gravel and in pretty good shape. Prob need high clearance but not 4WD. There are some washes to go thru with low dips that may make it impassible with a standard car. We stayed in site 2 and 4. Site 4 is more remote and quiet, off the dirt road further and was our favorite view. Both sites have a flattish dirt area for parking and some cleared spots for tents. Also have a bear/javelina box. Otherwise bring everything you need including water and enjoy the peace and quiet!

Pine Canyon 3

Beautiful campsite. It's better than PC 1 and 2. Nice and quiet. This would make a great Basecamp due to its location in the center of the park.

Amazing Sites

Pine Canyon has a number of well separated campsites (5 I believe) located along the length of the road, running up to the hiking area. Absolutely amazing place, and the site I used during my first trip to Big Bend. It’s accessible to most vehicles, as it’s not that deep in the backcountry, but you may want high clearance. 100% recommended.

Awesome site, didn't see any other people while at camp. Dirt road was not bad going in. Good views up the canyon to the west and of the desert floor to the east.

This is a “primitive” style camp site which means it’s just a flat parking spot with a bear box down in the canyon. BEAUTIFUL views and stars but make sure you bring all your own water. You need to get a permit from the ranger but I think it was free. Our sedan handled the road alright, I’d call ahead if there’s been rain. Waterfall nearby wasn’t impressive when we were there in summer but still a nice place to stay.

Beautiful view, no shade or amenities

Primitive campsites with a wonderful view. Close to amazing forest trail, Pine Canyon. Trees at Pine Canyon (not at campsite) are seriously something else.
