We loved so much about this campground. Our hosts, Billy and Tonya were so helpful and kind and added even more joy to our trip. The trail behind the campground was such a fun hike for the kids and a great coffee spot to catch the sunrise. We are recruiting friends to make the trip back to Big Bend with us and we will be booking this campground again.

The volunteer attendants were very friendly. Some of the campsites were located in the trees. The campsites had metal canopies over the picnic table.

Such a beautiful park. We extended our initial 3 day visit to 6 days and so were able to explore a good amount of it. Majestic sites, quiet campgrounds, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the variety of terrain of Texas.

Nice quiet spot with lots of space right across from the restrooms. Go on the ranger talk as they are awesome.

Loud tapping dogs all night. Ghetto guests. Definitely stay in the north side of the park and avoid the south

This was the most beautiful place! great facilities and everyone is so nice.

Everything about the campground was great except the site was absolutely covered with little seedlings that had big spines which limited our ability to place the tent where we wanted to. It was nearly impossible to position our 6-man tent in a space in between the sprouts, in spite of the fact that the site was huge with lots of open space. Very disappointing. Our only other negative is that it seemed like people at this campground did not feel inclined to abide by quiet hours - very different from Chisos Basin where everyone was quiet and respectful. We still had a great time, but probably wouldn't stay at this site again.

Good campground. Pitch black skies when we went. Flushing toilets. Pleasant trails. Peaceful Rio Grande.
@JenniferS83796 · Camped on Nov 25, 2025 at Campsite #75
Better sites are further away from entry.

Had a really good few days here . Reasonably priced and no issues
@BrittanyA587E9 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #18
The shelters at each campsite were really great during the heat of the day. Our site was directly across from a trailhead, so there was a lot of foot traffic and vehicles looking for parking (because there is almost none.) We even had people ask a few times to park in our sites driveway area. Bathrooms were great and very clean. Bring a black light to look for scorpions at night!
@AfshinB4A6D415 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #6
very good directions to camp site. nice to have wifi at general store. clean bathrooms. beautiful nature of course.

Although the Gov. Shutdown had just ended, operations appeared tight and clean except horse dung everywhere,

Big Bend is a must see park right up there either Yellowstone in my opinion. The night sky rivals Hovenweep and offers a similar show of the cosmos - another must see. The campground is adequate and bathrooms are clean. I didnt use showers that are available at store a bit up road for pay so no comment. Sites are nice and big though lots of horse manure that is not attended too. I had to remove it from my site myself so bring a shovel. If u dont have one, the campground hosts have a brand new one that doesnt seem to see much use. Also critters are common - a coyote every morning and what looked like a bobcat one evening. Be aware and practice safe storage. Bear boxes are at every site - use them. I would have given 5 stars, but being a single camper, I was harassed and made to feel unwelcome by both the other campers and hosts. I spoke to the ranger about it and cut my trip short. Dont care to be some place that does not allow me to enjoy the park as they expect of themselves. Getting to be normal any more, so I just report it.

Gorgeous place with excellent rangers, id recommend hiking in the basin, the window trail and pinnacles trail are both gorgeous with amazing views, plenty of elevation to get your legs working
@JackN1836164 · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #59
Nice campground and very helpful and friendly hosts.
@DouglasS589227 · Camped on Nov 16, 2025 at Campsite #7
The park was wonderful, clean, and not crowded. We used the Shaka App and with our GPS, the app would start anywhere in the park we were, and it brought Big Bend to life.
@ColleenM947508 · Camped on Nov 16, 2025 at Campsite #49
Campground bathrooms were clean. We had reserved a campsite that did not work with our rig and the camp host changed our site. It made our stay that much better.
@KevinS8513228 · Camped on Nov 15, 2025 at Campsite #22
One of the best campsites I've had the pleasure of being in. Proximity to sights right from the nature trail to the river and the canyons was most convenient. Clean well maintained facitlities and bath rooms. The village center a couple of minutes drive away with showers and laundry all made the experience wonderful.
@JaneC5303587 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #77
Fairly noisy until 8 pm when generators were supposed to be turned off. Campsite hosts were good at enforcing quiet hours. Many lights were on late or all night which kind of spoiled the "dark-sky" environment. Very hard to reserve remote primitive sites. Spectacular scenery.
@KristenF136755 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #13
Camp hosts were amazing and all amenities were well kept. The bathrooms were maintained beautifully. The drinking water and kitchen sink worked like a charm. All other campers were courteous. This is my second time at this camp ground and its lovely for all the wildlife. Fun place to stay.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
