Severe grade, small site and snarky camp hostess had me seeking other accommodations.

Great campground to enjoy Big Bend. In a central position to visit most areas of the park. Sites are very close to each other but still accommodating. If other people's snoring bothers you, make sure to bring earplugs. Bear box was pretty big (fit a medium cooler and large storage bin).

Temperatures on Chisos Basin Mountain were mild while the rest of Texas had temperatures over 100 degrees. It also helped that the air was dry and you get a nice breeze frequently as well. The campground hosts were very nice and moved us to a better campsite with proper shades. They went totally out of their way to help us. Very much appreciated and thankful for their kindness.

When we arrived, we found that the camp site was so far from being level and the space for our 19' Sprinter van was so small that we were going to be unable to camp there. The camp host came by and patronizingly told me it was my job to check Google Earth to make sure the spot was level. I was under the impression that when I input my equipment type and size into the Recreation.gov reservation site, it took those factors into consideration and only presented me with options to fit my equipment. I was wrong. However, the setting was beautiful and the bathrooms were clean. The campground host did let us stay in one of the administrative sites and then patronizingly told me he was only going to help us "this once" like I was some sort of child. I'm 60 years old and don't need a scolding from the campground host.

Always love staying here! When I arrived the spot I reserved wasn’t great for car camping, the camp host was so so kind and helped me find a solution quickly. Such a great place to stay!

Extremely beautiful! Clean, well-kempt bathrooms. Plus the person looking after our site was so friendly and helpful. 10/10

The campground was full but remained very clean. Restrooms were very clean. Camp hosts were very nice. We had a great time.

The best camping experience hands down I’ve ever had. Even with all the Covid restrictions it flowed seamlessly through all the setup. Our park hosts, Mark & Laetitia (sp?) were stellar! It was our second time camping in the Chisos Basin and it was spectacular. I really want to tell everyone it sucked, the scenery below par and all the people mean just to keep it a secret how great our trip was. But all the park rangers and especially the hosts delivered an experience that will never be forgotten for all of the right reasons. Big Bend National Park is truly one of the most magnificent natural beauties of the world, and I hope more can discover its brilliance in all the glory that it is, keenly guided by those great folk who staff it.

We were at campsite 31 in the park and didn't realize that it was not even close to level. Our camper fridge went out since it was more than 6 degrees unlevel so we had to get up extra early the next morning to move to a more level area so we could get it back on. Would not stay there again unless it was at a more level site. The Rio Grande Sites were much nicer for our rig.
