I visited this campground during March 2022. This was my first trip to Big Bend Ranch State Park. The Lower Madera Canyon Campground is close to Lajitas and not far from Terlingua and the entrance to Big Bend National Park.

“The Park discourages RVs”

noted 4/12/2023

We did not stay here. The Big Bend Ranch State Park administration appears to be discouraging RV camping. They actively enforce an 18 foot limit on vehicle length.The only sites in the park that are available for vehicles over 18 feet (but only up to 30 ft) are 4 sites at La Cuesta Campground that are side by side on an unlevel gravel parking lot adjacent to the highway.
