Chisos Mountains Lodge: 2026 Updates

Lodging availability in the Chisos Basin has fluctuated over the past few years, and we continue to adapt as conditions evolve, always with the best interests of our current and future guests in mind. For Spring and Summer 2026, Chisos Mountains Lodge will operate with limited room availability. A return to full capacity is anticipated by September 2026. The Registration Desk will operate with limited hours and will be available for check-in services only. For additional assistance, guests may visit the Basin Store.

The Basin Store and Chisos Basin Food Truck will remain open for your convenience. Hours of operation may vary, and guests are encouraged to check back frequently for the most up-to-date information.
For additional information on park access and current conditions, please visit the National Park Service website.

We look forward to welcoming you to Big Bend National Park!
