"Good for a night while you enjoy Craters of the Moon NM"
We spent one night here on 5/24/21. We have a 27' TT and there were only a couple spots available we could fit. For some reason there were several sites with notes on the posts saying reserved for NPS thru mid June. We only found one water spigot...

We met some of the state folks who informed us that this area and the one next to it - Willow Springs - will be converted to a state park. They will begin paving the main road in by this summer and plan to have it set up with actual campgrounds by...

"Could be a really cool place..... but...."
To get to this campground, you have to drive down a clay dirt road. If it has rained recently, it will be a muddy mess. The campground is small (3 sites) and very tight. We are in a 27 ft TT and barely made it around the circle so be aware if you...

"Works for an overnight"
Holiday weekend so the visitor center was closed (11/11/19) but bathrooms open and empty when we arrived. Front was coming through so it got extremely windy - flags hitting poles all night. Several rigs / semis arrived as evening wore on but...

"Free Dry Camping between Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns"
We spent 3 nights here starting 11/7/19. Perfect location for visiting the caverns - a little further to do Guadalupe but you can't beat FREE! It's a large space with plenty of area for many campers of all shapes and sizes. Close to White's City -...

"Close to most trailheads"
As others have said, it is basically a parking lot. We stayed here 2 nights starting 11/5/19. Weather was horrible - rain, cold, hail and wind so we didn't get a chance to hike. The benefit of staying here is you are right at the several...

"Perfect stopover to see the lights"
Great turnout area to view the mystery lights of Marfa. We saw something - not sure if they were the mystery lights or what. Lots of people pulled in to view. We were there 11/4/19. A little noisy with the highway right there but it didn't bother...

"Nice place for a stopover"
On our way from Florida to Big Bend National Park, we stayed here one night on 10/24/19. Called ahead to get a permit - super easy - they sent it to my phone so we could show it to the on duty officer. We were running from a tropical storm so only...

"Enjoy the west side of Big Bend"
After spending 5 nights in Rio Grande Village Campground, we moved to the west side so we could enjoy the hikes and drives on the other side. This is a smaller campground - all dry camping. There are maybe 2 dozen spots. It was relatively empty...

We arrived on 10/26/19 - unsure if we would have a spot available or not. This campground has a lot of spaces of various sizes. As others have shared, it is dry camping but there are flush toilets, a dish washing station and place to fill water....
