Summary
Reservations are required via Recreation.gov, and fees apply. The campground features pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and bear-proof storage, but no water or hookups, so come prepared. RVs under 20 feet are allowed, but space is limited. Set in a desert landscape with sweeping mountain views, it offers a serene, remote vibe perfect for stargazing. Nearby highlights include the Panther Junction Visitor Center and the Chisos Basin trails. Best visited in cooler months (October–April) due to extreme summer heat. It's a quiet, rustic experience for nature lovers.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
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.
