Pine Canyon — Big Bend National Park
Reviewed Jan. 17, 2023

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!
