Coyote Crossing offers a compelling camping experience with its scenic location, close proximity to Big Bend, and well-spaced campsites providing a sense of privacy. Rob, the host, is often mentioned positively for his helpfulness and hospitality. While many reviews highlight the tranquility and beautiful views, a few campers noted the proximity to the road can result in some noise, and cleanliness of the toilet facilities could occasionally be an issue. The site is particularly appreciated by those who enjoy stargazing and the natural sounds of the desert.

Great location and layout of campsites. Rob was a great host and came by to give me a heads up about possible thunderstorms and advised me to park on the gravel so my car wouldn’t get stuck with the rain. Would definitely stay here again!

Great spot close to the entrance of Big Bend and just outside of Terlingua. Close proximity to main road may be bothersome to some due to noise and headlights.
