Telephone Canyon Campground
Telephone Canyon Campground
Telephone Canyon Campground offers two primitive roadside campsites (TC-1 and TC-2) located along the Old Ore Road in Big Bend National Park, featuring scenic views of the Deadhorse Mountains and limestone cliffs with no amenities (shade, toilets, or water).
A backcountry permit is required; TC-1 accommodates 1 vehicle and 6 people while TC-2 accommodates 2 vehicles and 12 people, with a maximum vehicle length of 25 feet and no trailers allowed.
Access requires traversing the rough, rocky Old Ore Road (14 miles from the southern end), which is maintained for high-clearance vehicles only and may require 4-wheel drive after heavy rains.
