We stayed for one night on the way to Colorado, clean gravel parking lot and used bathrooms in the fairground offices 8-5.
This campground is not like other private parks, luckily!
A lots of trees and acres of meadows and 4,200’ river frontage.
Owners are passionate about their place and gave us a tour of property and beautiful one of kind cabins.

We spent 2 nights on the way to Colorado arriving on Saturday afternoon. No one was at the office but called in Monday morning to give our credit card number.
Very large sites about 7 or so and we didn’t need a water key.
Very strong Verizon signal and strong public WiFi good enough to stream Kansas City Chiefs game on our iPad!
If you’re not looking for scenery this is a great campground.

This was our third time at Big Bend.
We went to hot springs everyday and twice hiked to hot springs 6 miles round trip. A couple of days when temperatures were in 90s we were in Rio Grande River more than in hot springs.
Really loved seeing javelina and wild horses along irrigation ditches next to our trailer.
Sunrise and sunset at Sierra del Carmen were spectacular!
Store was fully stocked and every thing was open.

We stayed for 3 nights on the way to Death Valley NP 70 miles away, a very Twilight Zoneish community with mostly campgrounds with hot springs bathhouses but has some county offices with very few people and cars in the streets. According to the manager there is no busy season. No stores of any kind. Bring everything including drinking/cooking water and full tank of gas!
Most campgrounds have similar names so look for one with a lots of large empty ceramic flower pots at the end of the town or beginning of the town depends where you’re coming from.
Managers are super nice and friendly and hot springs pools bathrooms are clean. They clean it daily from 12-3PM. There are 2 private hot springs pools with a lock for 2-3 people with no swim suit and 30 minutes policy but you can stay as long as you want, hardly anyone there.
$35 weekdays $45 weekends, site 51 is the prettiest with palm trees and a large stacked stone fire pit.
We used Inyo County library free WiFi at the end of the parking lot next to Fire Dept. during weekdays from 9-4 but found out Therapeutic Hot Springs CG has WiFi, laundry, and satellite TV for camping customers.
We walked along the Hot Springs Road (no traffic) to the town of Tecopa(has a brewery and cafe, a post office, and a church) 2 miles one way to experience desert and Armagosa Wild and Scenic River, no water just small pools here and there, very desolate and very little vegetation.
Wish we had known about China Date Farm 9 miles away, we could have visited the farm.
No other attractions nearby.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because we couldn’t figure out water spigot.
