I'm giving this a 5 out of 5 because I can ride, show up unannounced, drop in an envelope with money, and stay the night without having to plan around this place. I pack my things I'm the morning, and simply leave. Simple. Whatever happened to simple? I stop and pitch my tent here every time I visit big bend.

Fairly priced, quiet place with good people. Shower was perfectly hot and clean bathrooms overall. Arrived at night and used the self check-in, the owner came over to make sure I‘m okay. Appreciate it. Felt safe here as a solo female cyclist. Outlets for charging right by the tent area. 7$ is a fair deal

Stayed part of one night when travelling from Uvalde to Albuquerque. All the motels were full. 2 of us slept in our minivan next to the tent area. It was pleasant, though barren. But barren is what this territory is all about. The restrooms were decent and working, with no frills. For $7 we got showers and place to park. To us, a great deal.

It was pleasant, though barren. But barren is what this territory is all about. The restrooms were decent and working, with no frills. For $7 we got showers and place to park. To us, a great deal. At about 2:30 am a train came around the bend blasting its horn and headlight right into the park. I went from deep sleep to flight or fright mode in a millisecond. Now that I was awake, I went to the restroom, then hopped into the van and resumed my journey in the darkness of night. No way I'd get back to sleep after that rude awakening. I'd stay here again, but I'd be certain to sleep with earplugs.

This little campground in the middle of nowhere on the way to Big Bend country had every thing a camper would need. Full hookups for your rig, shade, plenty of room to maneuver a big rig without unhooking your tow vehicle. They even have an area for folks that are tent camping. They have bathrooms and laundry.

Can't beat the price to tent if you're traveling on the Southern Tier bicycle route! Plus they have showers and laundry! If you're tent isn't free standing you may need to get creative because the tent area is turfed.
