Chisos Basin access advisory
National Park Service information about planned Chisos Basin construction and closures has changed. Some older notices describe a closure beginning in May 2026, while newer park updates say the planned construction was cancelled. Do not assume either a closure or unrestricted access based on an older notice; confirm current campground and road status through the official Chisos Basin access advisory and the reservation system before traveling.
Questions to confirm before traveling
Check the current campground operating status, whether reservations are required or prohibited, accessible facilities, drinking water availability, fire rules, road access, RV length restrictions and overnight stay limits. The operator’s website is the authoritative source.
