Not a great site unless you have very small tents, and even then, debateable. All the ground is fairly sloped and hard to find a good flat spot. Also, I know this is big bend and in the desert/mountains, but so many rocks it took quite a bit of time to clear out the grounds to get off the rocks.The picnic table only has a bench on one side.Water spigot is right at the base of the property, but the site is a not too long walk from the bathrooms. Close, but wouldnt really want to have to do that in the middle of the night.

This site was great! We had a spectacular view of the mountains and didnt feel so crowded. We were right by the entrance but that didnt bother us. Cant wait to go back!

Big Bend NP and the Chisos Mountains are AWESOME!!! So glad we went! Great great time and the campground was perfect. Simple and exactly what we needed after our Outer Mountain Loop hike.

We have been camping / hiking BBNP for many years. Each time we have a great experience. The facilities are always clean, the is helpful, and the trails are exceptional.

Beautiful campsite, was able to fit two, 4-person tents side by side in the tent pad

Campsite was well-maintained and close to several potable water faucets. Campgrounds had great views and bathroom. Good opportunity to see plenty of stars overhead at night.

We spent a very nice week in Chisoss. The view from our location was exceptional. We had some superb hikes : Lost Mine trail, Window trail, Boquillas, Santa Elena canyon, Grapevine hills…

I loved this campground. The site (site 1 loop 1) was in a great location, though I would not recommend it for RVs since it's on a sloop. Perfect for tents though. The hosts were great and helped with finding trails and where to go and what to see. This is the best place to stay for camping at Big Bend. It's close to several trail locations.

Well organized, well maintained, and efficiently monitored by on-site staff.

Mark the camp host was the best. I have never seen a camp host more concern about campers having their best experience. I just can’t say enough about how he treats the campers. Thanks Mark

I love this campsite and wanted to make another visit for the 2nd year. Weather was bad and we did not receive any warning ahead of time. The campsite ended up being closed and we did not get to stay. I called many days after our trip trying to get refunded and stayed on hold for up to an hour and a half. Great campsite but terrible service on recreation.gov's part.
