Restrooms right across the road. Dump station is closed. Water spigots also convenient Two trucks fit. Recommended

Great hiking opportunities from a beautiful location in the center of it all! Check out Boquillas Canyon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our camping in the basin. Staff were great and friendly, sites were clean and well maintained. The beauty there is something to be seen. We cant wait to get back

Big Bend was fantastic. Window Trail that leaves right from campground was very convenient. Having multiple dogs barking for hours as well as loud music with sites that are packed in too close for comfort was not ideal. Many better camping options than Chisos Basin for visiting Big Bend National Park

We wanted a place where we could view the stars at night, and have our car legally... it was perfect for that... we came last min and were able to book the last campsite (a cancellation) the same day., whew! .. we were lucky. The campsite was very convenient and well run... well supervised. We were met by a volunteer who gave us very helpful information... although with all the information we were hoping but we still didn't have encounters with rattle snakes, skunks or bears... disappointing was ... ha ha .. not really! Really, it was GREAT!

What can I say? Its Chisos Basin!Anyone who has stayed before, will agree, it is one of the best places to camp in Big Bend.

All good! Loved the Window trail, loved the restaurant. Facilities were clean. Great star gazing!

Great campsite for our little camp trailer. Also room for a tent. Once again we enjoyed BBNP immensely.

Extremely beautiful camp area. Great views in each direction. The camp hosts are very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back.

RV/trailers are not welcomed due to narrow roads and no space for parking. My 17 feet travel trailer barely made it. No wonder. Its one of the least visited national parks.
@DaveJ461172264 · Camped on Oct 13, 2023 at Campsite #6
Grounds were nice and clean. The site was great and had plenty of space even though the campers next to us had 5 tents and were encroaching. It was all good and had a wonderful time

Wasn’t crowded. The visitor center gave great information. WiFi was accessible and the campground was very nice. We stayed in two different sites, the non generator site as at the back were nicest. #6 was next to the dump station, but no smell. Look for roadrunners around the building nearest the trailhead.

Incredible geology! Cannot imagine a better campsite.
@DavidW821 · Camped on Oct 19, 2021 at Campsite #6
A bit tight on the camping spots had a tent about 10 feet from our trailer, hiked we’re ok , views are okay would not return but did enjoy the dinosaur exhibit
@MitchelS736 · Camped on Aug 9, 2021 at Campsite #6
Vary beautiful 10 out of 10 you should stay here
@BrianD655 · Camped on Mar 24, 2021 at Campsite #6
Sites are tight and not all parking spaces are level. We spent one night at an uncomfortable incline. The scenery is lovely, however!

Camped in Chisos Campground. A wonderful camping experience. The views were amazing during the day and night. They do have a section of the campground closed due to Covid. I wish instead they would have had us spaced further apart with that section open. It does get cold up in the mountains. Plan well.
