Old Maverick Road and the gravel access road are both generally well-maintained and accessible to all vehicles throughout the year, but become rutted after heavy rains and may require high clearance or 4-wheel drive. Always check current road conditions with a ranger.
Directions: Terlingua Abajo campsites are located off of Old Maverick Road, 3 miles from the southern end near Santa Elena Canyon, or 10 miles from the northern end near the Maverick Entrance Station.
The access road is 1.7 miles in length and is extremely rough and rutted.
The use of generators is prohibited in the backcountry.
