Reviews of Chisos Basin Campground
"Location is everything. Chisos Basin Campground is a very close quarter campsite with very little parking for large vehicles. Even when you are within the recommended length according to the .gov site, you may still be sticking out on the road or parked along the edge of the road. This is not a "secluded" campsite.. The winds can get up and disturb your gears across the campground if your not carful. But Locations is everything. It's high in the "mountains" with grand views, wild animals, and close to a lot of trailheads. There is a small store up the hill and a restaurant. The sunsets are amazing from the basin. The mountain cliffs will turn bright orange and red with the right light. There are bears, cats, coyotes, pigs, and foxes. We even saw a small ground bird that wound visited our camp, scratching at the grass and brush for seeds. We saw a fox one evening dart across the road. Big Bend is a Dark-Skys Park, so don't be that one guy that leaves his exterior camper lights on all night. The stars at night are big and bright, and absolutely amazing!! We laid there looking through the sky light for half the night. They will keep you awake.. So many and oh so bright!! If you want secluded, look to the back row at Rio Grande campsite or one of the backcountry site. Cottonwood is quite and peaceful too. Spring is best, summers are rough, hot and can be dangerous for the unprepared. The beast season is Nov - March/April. The best time is when the cactus blooms around spring break. Enjoy and be prepared, it is a desert, but oh what a beautiful desert she is..."
"First time in Big Bend, and it was stunning. The views were amazing, and the campground was clean and taken care of. The water faucets, bear boxes, and bear proof trash cans were all very helpful in making this a more comfortable camp. The store on the edge of the campgrounds saved our bacon with heavy-duty tent stakes (get heavy-duty tent stakes. It's rock out there with some dirt sprinkled on top) and not a moment too soon as the second night we were there, the temperature was 38 degrees with 20 MPH winds. The store has a wide selection of foods, drinks, and clothing to cover most of the small items you forgot, and it was not price gouged. Important for winter camping, the basin is easily 10 degrees colder than the rest of the park. The hiking path right at the campground is gorgeous, and we will definitely be back."
"Camped in site 37 . A central campground for trails and the very nice restaurant. But for a “dark sky” park it was annoying to have lights on all night around the bathrooms! Kind of crowded. But friendly campers in mid January! We liked Cottonwood campground better; more rustic."
"Fantastic campground. Absolutely stunning views, lots of hiking, clean campsites, and friendly / helpful Host. Chisos Basin Campground is for smaller campers and tenting. We camped in a truck camper and it was tight. We camped in site 17. Could not take the camper off the truck and have room for the truck. But do not let this stop you from visiting this stunning NP. Thank you!"
"The campgrounds are a little close to each other but there is a lights out curfew at 9:30pm and wildlife proof lockers for your food/coolers. The skies are dark and beautiful. We hiked the Lost Mine Trail at sunset and it was breathtaking."
