Group site M has a great unobstructed view of the Window. It has very few level areas for tents but is doable. It doesn't have cover for picnic tables, but has the best view. The parking is tight for more than two cars. You can fit three if you park two of them in.

During our visit, we experienced a medical emergency involving one of our adult volunteers. The officer who assisted uswhose name, I believe, was Officer Markwas exceptional. He responded quickly, helped manage the situation, and provided steady support to our group of 12 Boy Scouts and 4 adults. His professionalism and kindness made a very difficult moment much easier for all of us. We are deeply grateful for his assistance and will not forget the care he showed our group.

Location was DEFINITELY 5-stars. Couldn't beat the prime viewing location for the sunsets through Window View. Camp host and neighbors were great. We appreciated being in the middle of the park, with easy access to all major roads and cooler temperatures during the day. We also appreciated knocking off almost a half-mile on the Window Trail Hike, which had an alternate trailhead in the group campground! We were conveniently close to the Lost Mine Trailhead for our sunrise hike. Flatness of the tent sites = 3-stars. There were two sites flat enough for two 10x10 tents, our smaller tents were stuck on hillier locations. We put the smallest tent under the shade tree, which is apparently an animal habitat all on its own. Considering the whole campsite is built on a hillside, this was a minor inconvenience once the tents were up (we were able to move a few tables to improve tent locations). My ONLY complaint: friendly skunk who liked to visit the group campground in the evening and night time... even before everyone went to bed! (Once night, they even joined our neighbors for dinner... Fortunately, no one was sprayed) The last night, the skunks were joined by two foxes who visited a neighboring campsite.

Great site, however be warned, there is no roof/shelter like it is shown on the photo. Didn't bother us, but may have been a problem if we got rain.One of the tables fits nicely under a tree nook, which could provide decent cover during light rain.Other than that, site is clean, level, next to a water spicket and close to trash bins. Very convenient and very picturesque.

The campsite was incredible! Our site particularly had a really great view of the lower basin toward window, but you can probably see all of it from each site. There was no trash anywhere, and the tables and bear boxes made it really easy to cook and store all of our food!
Excellent

Our family enjoyed our time at the group campsite in the Chisos Basin. It was the perfect spot to explore the park-- to enjoy the protected habitat of the mountains, but also venture out to the Hot Springs & into the desert. We would love a return visit!

The campground is awesome!! It's beautiful and well-maintained. It's a bummer that we can't have campfires, but perfectly understandable. We made s'mores around the charcoal grill and they tasted all the same. The campground is also very close to many trailheads, as well as a visitor's center and convenience store.
Good

Site M is terrible. Showed up with group of 9. Parking is very tight for 2 vehicles. Site is very steep and tent pads are severely eroded to the point there is hardly anywhere to put tents. Our group had to go to the regular campground to camp.
