Great spot at the bottom of the campground area with wonderful views of the surrounding landscape and close to the Window trailhead.

Easy to get in and out of beautiful scenery.

This is a great site. The rest of the campground is kind of tight, but the last 4-5 sites on this small loop are nice. There’s no shade structure on this site though, so plan accordingly.

This campsite has NO SHADE. If you're coming in a hot month, I strongly recommend not staying here. It's actually fairly surprising to me given the heat in Big Bend that any campsites would even exist without some form of shade. You can filter your search based on it, though, which I failed to do. It's my own fault, but arriving after a long hot hike to discover there was no shade at all was really rough. Luckily the camp host was very kind and able to move us, but that's an anomaly. If you're here in a cooler month, it would be okay. Minus the lack of shade, the views here were amazing and it has nice privacy, and it could've been a really cool spot. Be forewarned!

Numerous great trails to hike. Stayed in Chisos Basin campground. Facilities were excellent, bathrooms clean and safe.

It was great. View was amazing and the individual campsite had a lot of privacy.

Private for how close you are to one of the sites next to it. Beautiful views of the Chisos throughout the evening.

I love Big Bend! We always have such an amazing experience in the park. The weather was perfect and the Chisos Basin Campground was breathtaking. I highly suggest campsite 57. It was secluded with views all around.
