exactly what we needed for a no frills night of sleep … we arrived at night to lots of level space right outside of big bend, and found coffee in town a few minutes down the road in the morning. perfect.

Close to Big Bend; off-grid camping
We booked Rough Run RV Campground for its “toilet available” amenity and was disappointed there’s none on site. Fortunately, we arrived before the local market closed so we were able to use their bathroom. William was great communicating before we arrived with instructions to find the site and responsive with our concerns about the lack of a toilet. He also refunded our reservations. It’s a great place to stay if you’re going to Big Bend as it’s close to it. It’s not a good fit for us but if you’re fully prepared for off-grid primitive camping this is a good place to stay overnight.

It was an easy in and out large narrow lot. Perfect for one night. Close to a small town. Only one other camper there, and we’re a long way from us. Enjoyed our evenings stay.

The lot was on the side of a highway with no maintenance whatsoever not very safe and a lot of loose trash
