Campsite: West Fork Campground
Wonderful little campground. It's quiet, off the main road and deep in the dark tree. The host was very friendly and restrooms were well maintained. There is a stream on the south side of camp which is amazing to fall to sleep too. Fresh water and firewood is available. This park gives you easy access to Wolf Creek Pass, miles and miles of National Forest road to explore and close enough to Pagosa Springs for anything that you might have forgotten at home.
Campsite: Fort Parker State Park
Nice little state park, not overcrowded like so many today. Has a great lake, with camping, RV sites and Cabins. It's off the beaten track and great place to get away without having to drive far..

Campsite: Chisos Basin Campground — Big Bend National Park
Location is everything. Chisos Basin Campground is a very close quarter campsite with very little parking for large vehicles. Even when you are within the recommended length according to the .gov site, you may still be sticking out on the road or parked along the edge of the road. This is not a "secluded" campsite.. The winds can get up and disturb your gears across the campground if your not carful.
But Locations is everything. It's high in the "mountains" with grand views, wild animals, and close to a lot of trailheads. There is a small store up the hill and a restaurant. The sunsets are amazing from the basin. The mountain cliffs will turn bright orange and red with the right light. There are bears, cats, coyotes, pigs, and foxes. We even saw a small ground bird that wound visited our camp, scratching at the grass and brush for seeds. We saw a fox one evening dart across the road.
Big Bend is a Dark-Skys Park, so don't be that one guy that leaves his exterior camper lights on all night. The stars at night are big and bright, and absolutely amazing!! We laid there looking through the sky light for half the night. They will keep you awake.. So many and oh so bright!!
If you want secluded, look to the back row at Rio Grande campsite or one of the backcountry site. Cottonwood is quite and peaceful too. Spring is best, summers are rough, hot and can be dangerous for the unprepared. The beast season is Nov - March/April. The best time is when the cactus blooms around spring break.
Enjoy and be prepared, it is a desert, but oh what a beautiful desert she is...
Campsite: Rio Grande Village Campground — Big Bend National Park
We stayed at Rio Grande Campgroud for 3 n8ght. Absolutely loved it. We were on the back loop near the nature trail. The trees secluded our camp from the general camping spaces. We saw lots of birds, roadrunners, javelin, and while hiking the nature trail I saw other critters including some burrows near the river.
The camps tore was well stocked with WiFi, laundry facilities, and gas. I highly recommend staying at Rio Grande.
