Lower Primitive Camping, Site 3
Good campground, wifi and showers
The first thing to appreciate is this campsite is a significant distance from the Telingua ghost town. It's also an hour and change from Big Bend. So be sure to map it out. (I didn't.) The accommodations are good. The campground is part of a hotel complex. You get access to the pool and showers for free. There is a decent restaurant. You can use their WiFi. Hipcamp only said there was one vacancy but there were at least a dozen spots open. It was windy but that's Texas. The people there are very nice. I recommend it if you can't get a spot in Big Bend. But as I said definitely map it out. So you're not surprised if you end up with a long drive

Great campground with an awesome pool and cafe. Lots of amenities for a campground that feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere! The host gave us good instructions for access.

I really enjoyed this camp. It had a great view! I got two enjoy two nights of clear skies with very low light pollution to see the stars. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I actually wish I had stayed another night during this trip.

Didn’t meet my needs
This didn’t work for me. I specifically chose it because there was WiFi and was planning on a work day. There was NO WiFi not even standing in the middle of the office area. I hope this will be updated on the website. Also was unable to do laundry due to staff doing laundry. WiFi showers and laundry can be really important for weary travelers. The staff was very nice. The night sky was amazing!
