Chisos Mountains Lodge Renovations - Summer 2025

The National Park Service is working on two renovation projects in the Chisos Basin that are scheduled to begin July 2025 and will continue for approximately two years. The lodge will continue to take reservations with limited availability through June 11, 2025. During the temporary closure of Chisos Mountains Lodge starting June 12th, we invite park visitors to stay and experience the newly remodeled Big Bend Station near the park entrance and the town of Terlingua.

Room Availability: Only Casa Grande Rooms and Rio Grande Hotel Rooms will be available to reserve May 1, 2025, through June 11, 2025.

The Basin Store and Chisos Mountains Lodge Restaurant will remain open through June 12, 2025. Chisos Mountains Lodge will close after lunch hours on June 12, 2025.

Big Bend National Park will remain open throughout this project. Only the Chisos Basin area of the park will be affected starting in July. Over 800,000 acres and hundreds of miles of scenic drives (paved/unpaved), developed and primitive campsites, river access, and over 150 miles of hiking trails will remain open for visitors from around the world to enjoy.
