Big Bend is an amazing park and staying in Chisos Basin is my favorite spot. The Lost Mine Trail, Window Trail, and Emory Peak are all great day hikes. If you are more adventurous, I highly recommend trying a one-night or longer backpacking trip in the Chisos Mountains. If I could change one thing about the park, I think Chisos Basin could benefit from some golf cart-style shuttles like at airports or Disney World from the lodge parking lot to the Lost Mine trail every 15 or 30 minutes, during the peak season of course and frequency should depend on what is economically feasible and actually used by guests.

We loved this site! Youre right at the base of the mountains and the sites are fairly spaced out. I will say some of the listings are incorrect if they have a driveway or not, but we got lucky and were able to book a different site than our original one. Its Cole and windy in January but not too crowded. Highly recommend Emory Peak, just pay attention to the path you take up so you can go down the same way (at the rock scramble at the end).

The campsite was amazing, so close to some of the best trailheads and our specific spot had great privacy. Emory peak was a relatively tough but rewarding hike. The sky at night was incredibly beautiful and you HAVE to go to the hot springs!! There are also some great places to off-road!

Quite the climb to get to the campsite area. Great views of the entire mountain landscape but it is tough to get up the rocky area to the campsite, especially in the middle of the night.

The tent area requires to step over 3 rocks - no shaded area though; parking area is paved and leveled for the most part (a VERY SLIGHT incline but unnoticeable). This campsite is along one corner of the campground so you are directly next to two neighbors. The walk to the heated restrooms is approximately 2 minutes and is on the way to the Window Trail. Nice campsite overall.

The campground host, Mark, was so friendly and accommodating. He worked with us to get us to stay in the same site for 4 nights. He was truly caring and compassionate about his job as a volunteer.

We lucked out & got a flat parking spot, which we need for a campervan. After seeing some of the sites, it would be nice if the reservation website included that as a search criterion. There are some camp sites that e couldn’t have stayed in.
Nice campground, quiet (yay, no generators), restrooms were clean enough, loved the area.

We were very lucky to get site #58 in the basin for our 22 foot van because many of the sites are not level. The bathrooms were ok but had some issues but overall if you can get here we highly recommend this campground.

One of the prettiest campgrounds and campsites I've ever stayed at in a National Park. Incredibly clear skies, great sites and a great vibe. Sites are - as stated - a little uneven and someone gravely, but with a good sleeping pad, I slept like a kitten. Was lucky enough to open my tent flap and watch the Geminid meteor shower from the cozy comfort of my sleeping bag, too.
@MikeM803 · Camped on Dec 5, 2021 at Campsite #58
Location itself is stunning. Sites are really hit or miss — some don’t have room to park off the roadway, others don’t have shelters. None are that big, and they are all very close together. You WILL get to know your neighbors.

We missed the first night and the second night we stayed in 58 which is a climbing hike when it's dark. but it's was a cool stay, very rocky??, We stayed in 51 which was way better but the names were switched good thing We had the email up, water was good, and the restroom was clean, the drive needed more side road markers getting closer to camp, feels like the picnic table was too close to the grill but overall a great experience We should be back next year

We spent two nights in site # 58 in Chisos Basin. It was a wonderful experience with beautiful views, quiet neighbors, super-clean bathrooms, and friendly staff. Hiking was great with the Window Trailhead right at the campground, and the Lost Mine trail just up the road. The late-October weather was perfect, with a surprise thunderstorm one evening to make things even more exciting. Big Bend National Park is a great park experience with beautiful mountain and desert scenery, deep canyons, and hiking opportunities for all levels. We wish that the Boquillas Canyon crossing was open, but this is still closed even though the park newsletter reads that it is open.

Bring a shade canopy as back up because some of the sites don't have shade. The window hike is a an easy hike and a must see!
