It is a quarter mile drive down a well managed dirt road to arrive to the site. There are ~10 camp sites. The campground does not have river access, but there are a couple sites at the fishing access point. The grass was cut and the vault toilet was in good condition.
We were there in late august and were only one of 3 sites being used. Bathrooms were clean. Drinking water. Quick drive to Black Canyon. Also some cool train displays nearby.
We loved our night at Chisos Basin. Was there in late August and the weather was perfect. Beautiful location. Bathrooms were clean. A lot of availability. There isn’t any first come first serve so you must reserve it through recreation.gov but there was good Verizon Service there at the Campground.
Got there late so we just pulled into the first site we saw. Woke up to a little creek behind us. More people were camping on down the road. And had a few people show up in the morning to go on a walk.
Good place to boondock! You get the low hum of the oilfield. Road can be kinda rough but we did it in a Camry. We were the only ones. May get a visit from some cows.
We spent a weekend here at the beginning of may. The weather was perfect. There are a good number of trees for shade. Our campsite was right on the water which was good for views but there wasn’t a lot of grass for our tent. The sites have fire rings but no grates to cook on. It was pretty crowded but that is to be expected on a weekend. I don’t think the bathrooms are cleaned over the weekend and got pretty dirty by the end of it. Visited Shiloh National Battle field and got ice cream near the campsite from “The Outpost.” Overall a good experience!
We did a last minute reservation and ended up loving the place. There was good separation between the campsites and the bathrooms and showers were clean. Wasn’t too far from a park along Ontario. Overall a great stay!
This place was awesome! We pulled in after dark and had know idea what we were going to wake up to but it did not disappoint at all. The only suggestion I have is to make sure you are prepared for wind.
Stayed here overnight in both July and November. Sites are on a first come first serve basis but I was able to find a site both times. Plenty of trees for hammocks and a good pad for tents. Huge picnic table at each site.
