Simple place, super close to the Big Bend entrance. Exactly what I was looking for. Great for campers who do park activities during the day, and need a place to sleep.

The manager/host isn’t correspondent when you have questions or concerns. Their mailbox is full. And even after a week, does not respond back at all. I had to leave early due to a family emergency and when asked about refunds, he never got back to me. A response with a yes or no would have been acceptable, but not responding is poor service. I wouldn’t recommend.

We came here on a whim due to a change in our itinerary from another Hipcamp. It was nice to find a spot so close to the park, ONLY 2 mins, that had availability.
The only thing I wish was there was a more clear sign of where to enter as there are similar place that are just “empty spots”. We arrive way after dark so we were only relying on our maps at the tiny sign on the mailbox, which you can’t see from the road.
As stated, there are no toilets or showers, we were able to find a shower at BJs Rv Park about 15 mins down the roads that offered them for outsiders for $5/person.
We really liked being close to the grocery store and the park! We would stay here again, just for one night, to have closer access to the park. Once they build onto the land more we would love to come back and try again!

It did come through in a pinch on the holiday as everything was booked up in the park but it could have been a costly stay. There was 3" framing nails all over the entry way up to about 100feet into the entrance. I just put new tires on my rv hence the " I might recommend "
