This campsite offers a tranquil setting with stunning views, especially at sunrise and sunset. It's conveniently located near Big Bend National Park, making it a great base for exploration. While the host, Jason, is often praised for being friendly and helpful, some campers noted issues with the showers and campsite leveling. Despite these minor drawbacks, the location and clean facilities make it a popular choice among campers.

I loved this camping ground!!! Jason was an excellent host that was very friendly and helpful. Very communicative and the amenities were very pleasant as a first time camper. I highly recommend especially if you are looking for a comfortable camping spot. It’s close enough to the main road and stores to feel secure but far enough to feel secluded. With it being close to other places, expect hearing cars passing through at night. To me it wasn’t a problem as I like knowing there’s people around but it’s something to note.
Site 9 is sloped with no level ground for a tent and the ground is covered with golf ball sized rocks. Because the site faces north, the shade sail is useless for early morning or late evening sun protection and it gets really warm in the direct sun. It does provide minimal shade during mid day. Site 9 has elevated ground on 3 sides, but the north side faces a dirt road, about 60 feet away.
The camp is close to the west entrance to Big Bend NP, Terlingua and Study Butte.
The showers are close, next to the owners house. There were no instructions provided or posted signs for the shower location, so you have to figure it out on your own.
Overall it was just OK, but I’ll be staying somewhere else with more shade on my next visit to Big Bend.
Good location close to things, clean site, responsive hosts, very sticky muddy road if it rains and it rained an abnormal amount. 0-4 on attempts at a warm shower. First time we were told it was because so many people showered before us. Next time we were right next to the showers and no one came all morning. Freezing cold. This could be nice in the heat of summer but it wasn’t.

We had a great stay at this camp! Met JJ, The owner, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better from the start. The showers and restrooms were easy to access and very clean—something we really appreciated after a long day outdoors.
The views were absolutely incredible, especially at sunrise and sunset, and the location is perfect—just a short drive to the Big Bend entrance. Overall, it was a comfortable and memorable stay, and we’d definitely come back again.
Semi-secluded gorgeous site, wonderful kind host. Sweet doggos and goats!! Amazing hot showers and very useable port toilets. We took advantage of the nice cold pool on a 90 degree afternoon. Host gave us some good hiking reccs. Overall a great place for Big Bend access but away from crowded campgrounds.
I love this campground! Instructions were clear and campsite was easy to find even after dark. The showers are magnificent! Absolutely am coming back for the yearly Big Bend NP trip.

Site 3 - Great Views
We enjoyed tent camping at Paisano Azul - would return. Host was friendly, responsive, and available. Great location for Big Bend NP, only a few miles from park entrance. If returning I would choose site 1 or 7-9.

Great location and easy to find, owner was nice and showered were cool
Loved the Site. Great for a few tents. We had too much gear with truck tents, motorcycles and trailers. Site 3 is slightly constrained if your tent is in your truck or a trailer like ours. Other sites more space if you need the vehicle to sleep in although plenty of room for tents and family.
Had a great time here again! The location is awesome in Study Butte/Terlingua. Great views from every campsite, but especially El Grupo with unobstructed view of Chisos Basin! Very close to grocery/gas and restaurants but feels remote. Jason is a great guy and accommodated us when I screwed up my reservation! Thanks Jason and Polli!!

This campsite is nothing but a place to sleep. The positive is being close to Big Bend entrance in town of Terlingua.
Private but close to the porta potty near by and great views. Enjoyed the outdoor showers but missed out on the pool. Next time!
This campground was a great alternative to staying inside Big Bend park, as reservations filled up quickly. Jason was helpful in check in process and the amenities are nice. Enjoyed the site 1 peninsula we stayed at - would stay again next time we visit BBNP

Quiet spot. Clean facilities. Easy access to Big Bend NP. Plenty of restaurants and services in the area.
This was a great place to stay! The manager came down make sure everything was going well with the stay. Very convenient to town and the park entrance. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking.
Amazing place to stay for a trip in big bend. Honestly closest you’re gonna get besides staying inside the park. It was 10 mins from the entrance to the park, 40 mins to chisos basin hikes, and one hour to Santa elana canyon. Fantastic experience, planning to stay again. Not too hard to find, great stargazing, close to the small town where we got coffee each morning.
Great place to stay! Right next to big bend. Showers definitely came in handy. Owner is a great guy. Definitely recommend!
Excellent facilities with everything you will need to enjoy a great night after hiking near big bend! The goats and dogs were an added bonus.
It was very clean water and showers not far. It had beautiful veiws it was a awesome experience and will definitely be back again

Overall great location and good views, however, the shower situation was terrible and we were unable to shower while we were there which is why we chose the location in the first place.

"El Groupo"
Fantastic stay! So convenient! Jason was a wonderful host!
The views were amazing and it was close to the West Park entrance. Unfortunately the road goes right beside the camp sites and the locals would drive by blaring load music late into the night. You had to drive to get water, take showers and throw trash away. And the dogs on property barked a lot throughout the night. Ear plugs would have helped.

Site 1- Peninsula
Very clean facilities and well laid out and organized campsites. Sites are elevated above a nice section of desert to take in. Very close to an entrance to Big Bend National Park and conveniences are close by, but not too close.
Great camp spot. Close to Big Bend!! Would highly recommend!!
