SIte 5 was shaded slightly and great location near fence. Bathroom heated and working order. Dishwashing sink was great help. There was some wifi coverage near the upper parking lot and ranger station. beautiful location and quiet.

So much place overthere and then just a smal parking next to each other. And, 24 hours/ a parcked owned diesel-generator! disturbing the silence and the evironment.

It's a small campground but clean and it does have a bathroom. The trails are quite difficult but very rewarding with amazing views in every direction. I did the Brush Mountain to Marcus campground to Tejas trail loop, starting and returning to Dog Canyon. Download Alltrails before you get here unless you have Starlink as there is no local signal. The loop goes up and down mountains, around them, into canyons, across the canyon floors, up and down again, through wooded areas too. It took me the whole day but it was well worth it. This campsite and the trails are hidden gems.

Beautiful spot thats way off the beaten track but worth the drive if you are looking for solitude. Great trail starting at the campground. Only drawback was the RV sites, which are basically just a parking area with no privacy, but we ended up moving to the parking area for the tent sites because nobody was there. Would definitely go back.

The howling winds in the canyons at night are glorious. Campground is shockingly modern and very well kept. Honestly, Im not sure we deserve running water and flush toilets this deep in the high desert country. Rangers are the best.

Happily surprised by the strong WiFi from the campground ranger station, given that I had no normal cell connection for miles outside the campground.

It's a journey to get to this side of the park, but it's worth it. The campground is very nice, and a great spot to anchor hiking, stargazing, etc. Bring everything you need with you!

My husband and I have a small travel trailer and we drove out there not the best road for an RV lots of cattle guards that are sinking it is a 60 mile trip one way . The desolation and vastness was beautiful . We were very underwhelmed with the sites 5 of them all lined up no more than 10ft apart no trees no plants no nothing all that vast space and they put you in a tiny area might as well been in a parking lot and nothing to do but hike , hike and hike ; no lake ; river water hole; nothing but very long trail hikes at high altitude and a 60 mile rough ride out . So its for hiking which is fine but my goodness fix the Camping part its a National Park maybe more people would go

Likely one of the most beautiful and serence places to camp in all of Texas. Always clean and the volunteer ranger is just a joy to interact with, he's been there almost 20 years.

Beautiful setting. I was surprised by how run down the campground was in need of very general maintenance.
@NaulG7571FEB2B · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #1
The only thing I did not like was there was no way to lock the mens restroom

The drive to the campground is beautiful Stargazing was phenomenal. Site and facilities well-maintained. It's very isolated so be comfortable with that.

Such a beautiful location and so clean. Ranger Will (a volunteer) was helpful and very friendly. Be sure to stop at Sitting Bull Falls - beautiful oasis that was definitely worth the drive.

We enjoyed our stay in this remote wilderness area. Did not like not being able to have a campfire or use our hammocks.
@ScottF5762481 · Camped on Oct 18, 2025 at Campsite #B
would be nice to have electrical hookups at RV sites but i understand that is probably difficult

The campsites are clean, and they are set below the parking area so vehicle lights don't intrude into the tents at night. The bathrooms are very clean and the trails are well maintained. Make sure to make a reservation online, but if you do forget the visitor's center supplies wifi. The park rangers there are really nice and friendly. Overall my family and I enjoyed our stay there.

We had #6 which was perfect and shaded most of the time. However, the other sites were much too close together for my comfort so we lucked out with #6.

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.
