Big Bend National Park

While Big Bend is famous for its natural resources and recreational opportunities, the park is also rich in cultural history. Native peoples lived in and/or passed through this area for thousands of years. Their presence is evidenced by pictographs and archaeological sites. In more recent history (the last 500 years) Texas has been claimed by six different nations!

The National Park Service operates three developed front country campgrounds:

Chisos Basin Campground
Cottonwood Campground (near Castolon)
Rio Grande Village Campground
The concession-operated Rio Grande Village RV Campground (with full hook-ups) is also located at Rio Grande Village. For reservations call 1-877-386-4383 or 432-477-2293.
