Glenn Springs Campground

Glenn Springs Campground offers two primitive backcountry campsites (GS-1 and GS-2) located approximately 8. 5 miles from pavement along a rough gravel road in Big Bend National Park, requiring about 1 hour of travel time each way.

GS-1 requires high-clearance 4x4 vehicles and accommodates 2 vehicles and 8 people with surrounding vegetation for privacy, while GS-2 is directly on Glenn Spring Road and offers panoramic views of the Chisos Mountains with capacity for 2 vehicles, 8 people, and 4 horses.

No shade, toilets, or amenities are provided at either site, and a backcountry use permit is required; the road south of Juniper Canyon is extremely rough and not maintained.
