Camping:
There are three developed campgrounds: Rio Grande Village (100 sites), Chisos Basin (63 sites), and Cottonwood (31 sites). All have water and rest rooms, but no hookups. Fees are currently $7 per night, subject to change. Campsite occupancy is limited to eight people and two vehicles, or one RV plus one vehicle. All campsites are available on a first come, first served basis only.

A concessionaire operates an RV park at Rio Grande Village. Full hookup capability is required. First come, first served.

There are also numerous backcountry roadside campsites throughout the park. Most require a high clearance or a four-wheel drive vehicle. No services or facilities are available at primitive campsites. A backcountry permit is required to camp, and can be obtained free of charge at any visitor center.

Backpackers have many opportunities throughout the park. Open (zone) camping is available in desert areas with a backcountry permit. Designated backcountry campsites in the high Chisos Mountains are available with a backcountry permit on a first come, first served basis.
