South Rim 2 Campground

South Rim 2 is a backcountry backpacking-only campsite in Big Bend National Park's Chisos Mountains, located 5-6. 5 miles from the trailhead via the Laguna Meadows or Pinnacles trails.

The site accommodates up to 3 people in 1 tent and offers stunning views down Boot Canyon and surrounding ridges, though it has no water access and requires hikers to carry all necessary water (minimum 1 gallon per person per day) and pack out human waste using a commercial waste disposal kit due to the 2021 South Rim Fire destroying the composting toilet.
