About This Location

Experience primitive camping at Red Bluff Reservoir in West Texas. Enjoy year-round access to the Pecos River for fishing, boating, and scenic wildlife viewing.

Red Bluff Reservoir offers a rugged and authentic escape for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the remote landscape along the Texas border. Situated at an elevation of 2,825 feet, this BLM-managed site provides a stark, beautiful setting where the high desert meets the waters of the Pecos River.
