Fresno Campground

Fresno Campground (FR-1) is a primitive backcountry campsite in Big Bend National Park located 18. 6 miles along River Road, accommodating 2 vehicles and 8 people with no amenities or shade.

High-clearance vehicles are required year-round, and 4-wheel drive is necessary after rain; the site offers excellent views of the Sierra del Carmen Mountains and nearby Mariscal Mine Historic District, making it a good base for day hikes and exploration.

A backcountry permit is required, and campers should secure belongings due to theft concerns and avoid leaving the site unattended for extended periods.
