BACKPACKING CAMPSITE
Campsite is one mile from the trailhead.
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.
Nice open site with little afternoon shade. Close to main trail.
Sits near the base of Toll Mountain and offers views of Casa Grande and surrounding peaks.
Maximum 6 people, 3 tents.
Hammocks are prohibited.
Bears and other animals are frequently seen in this area. Do not leave food, or other items unattended.
No wood or ground fires permitted.
There is NO water available in the Juniper Flat area. The closest water is at the Basin Visitor Center spigot. Always carry adequate water for cooking, drinking, and washing (suggested 1 gallon (4 l)/person/24 hours).
Pets are not allowed on trails in Big Bend National Park.
