Remote and Quiet (in a good way)

My friends and I camped here for 2 nights on site #1 to be able to visit Big Bend National Park (about a 45 minute drive away). It's a very rocky road to get there off the highway (follow the written directions from the owner, they're very helpful!), but there's plenty of space for multiple cards to pull up. The compost outhouse is perfect, and the views are amazing. Only mild downside is that it's def windy, so keep that in mind when thinking about campfires, cooking, and sleeping in a tent.

10/10 would go back.

The place to get away from those getting away from it all

It's 3 miles off Hwy 118 and 20 miles to the entrance to Big Bend NP. Very remote, but easy drive to sites. Totally open desert with no one else around and in the official dark sky country, so expect amazing stars at night.
