Our campsite offered spectacular views of Casa Grande, and the proximity to the Window and Lost Mine Trail was excellent. The park felt less busy than on Spring Break in years past, so that was a bonus. All park rangers, staff, and volunteers were friendly and kind. We love Big Bend!

Great site. Somewhat private compared to others. Sun shade is a life saver in mid day heat. Easy access to water and toilets. In a shocking discovery for one of our crew who forgot a sleeping pad the Texas ground is hard!!

Great camp site facing the mountains. Small site, so best for just one tent. Nice to have shade covering. Very quiet, even with being right across from wonderful camp hosts.

Not typically one to leave a review, but what an amazing campground. Kim, Jeff, and George were some of the best camp hosts I have ever stayed with. They are extremely knowledgeable about the entire park and area, and eager to give advice and tips. Ill be back next year to see them again!

The campground was quite nice. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. It was hot, but that's no one's fault.

Big Bend was majestic. Lost Mine trail was spectacular. Love how expansive the park and landscape are.

Research your site selection carefully if youre in a van since many sites arent accommodating. But the panoramic views around the campground are majestic and the campground has a good vibe of friendly, adventurous people. Would stay here again if I could get a site that works for my van.

Loved everything about this campground except it needs showers.

Really great campground close to even better hikes. The nighttime ranger talks are worth checking out.

Nice view and clean camping site.

Always love staying the basin!

The Chisos Basin campground is excellent all-around! This campground is centrally located and close to many great trails in Big Bend National Park. The campground is easy to access and there are plenty of bathrooms throughout the area. We stayed at site #19, which was spacious and provided a beautiful view. It is difficult to get a campsite here due to the large demand, but it is worth it, if you can!

Excellent location and campsite, no complains at all!
@WalterS876 · Camped on Jun 1, 2021 at Campsite #19
Amazing park! Amazing Rangers!
The trails off the Chisos Basin and the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive were our favorite (car campers).

Chisos Basin Campground is a lovely spot, lovingly maintained. For people visiting summer 2021, strongly recommend checking into road closure prior to arrival and planning excursions out of the Chisos basin accordingly (including Lost Mines, the Chisos Lodge & Store) as these are hugely impactful. The construction noise is also noteworthy, though not worth rescheduling a trip about. Other than that, the views, park hosts, and moderate temps are delightful.

This was the most beautiful campground I have ever stayed in and I have camped a lot. The bathhouses were clean, there was a utility sink to wash dishes and water spicket for drinking water. Everything you need! Every campsite has an amazing view. If you are visiting Big Bend this campground is a must do. Enjoy!

We loved our campsite and the campground. Centrally located in the park and beautiful!

A night sky that is not to be missed. So convenient to the Windows trail, plus has the best cell service in the park. Talk about a win!
