Summary
No reservations or permits are needed, and camping is free. There are no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV hookups—campers must be fully self-sufficient. Set in a striking desert canyon with colorful volcanic rock formations, the area has a peaceful, remote vibe ideal for solitude and stargazing. Nearby, nature trails lead through rugged terrain and unique geology. Popular attractions like Big Bend Ranch State Park and the town of Presidio are close. Best visited in fall through spring when temperatures are cooler and more comfortable for outdoor activities.

Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
