BACKPACKING CAMPSITE
Campsite is located along the Pinnacles Trail, one mile from the trailhead in the Chisos Basin.
The first 1/2 mile (.8 km) is fairly steep, after which the trail becomes moderately difficult. The Pinnacles trail is well maintained and easy to follow all year. The pinnacles trail is the steeper, yet shorter route to the High Chisos backcountry and the South Rim area.
JF1: Large campsite with two level sites for tents with logs that make nice seats. Very private and surrounded by trees. Good shade throughout most of the day. Excellent views of Casa Grande. Nearby view of the basin area.
This is a hike-in site. Parking is available at the Chisos Basin trailhead or the Chisos Basin Amphitheater.
Maximum 4 people, 1 tent.
Hammocks are prohibited.
