Coyote Crossing

Perfect for those seeking barebones tent, car or small rv camping… ie boondocking. Rob did his best to offer tools and support when i was in a pickle with an automotive problem on a sat evening (word to the wise: don’t expect automotive service on a weekend or much in the way of auto parts in study butte/terlingua… )

Coyote Crossing

Convenient and quiet

We tent camped for two nights, and loved it! Lots of privacy, quiet, and lovely sunsets. Close to the park entrance. The cedar-composting outhouse is brilliant! This was our first Hipcamp experience, and it was a great introduction. We were disappointed that we didn’t see any coyotes crossing, however!

Beautiful site! Lots of space, private, quiet, fire pits, level ground, wonderful sunset, coyotes howling at night! Felt safe as a solo female traveler :)

Coyote Crossing

As stated on their website, this is indeed a very primitive camping area. No water, that was to be expected. But also no shade whatsoever. There is almost no vegetation, leaving the campsites vulnerable to the howling West Texas winds. Let those who do enter be warned! :) On the plus side, the proprietor is very friendly and has a fascinating back story to founding the camp. Also, the composting toilet was the cleanest and most aesthetically pleasing outhouse I have ever seen....Kudos. In summary, for those unable to score a campsite at Big Bend NP, this is an available alternative.
