Directions

Hannold Draw (HD-1) is located 4.8 miles north of Panther Junction on Route 11 (toward Persimmon Gap). The turnoff is located on the east side of the road between mile markers 4 and 5. The access road is not marked with a sign, so watch carefully. A short, 0.25 mile gravel access road leads to the campsite area.

 

Road Conditions

The access road is generally well-maintained and accessible to all passenger vehicles. Following rains, the road may become very rutted and high-clearance vehicles may be necessary.

 

Vegetation

There is no shade at this site. Vegetation in the vicinity is sparse, mostly creosote and lechuguilla.

 

Views

There is a good view of the Chisos Mountains to the north and the Sierra del Carmen range is visible to the distant east. The site is in a low draw.

 

Cautions

Javelina frequent this area. Secure all food in your vehicle, including coolers. Pick up all trash. Javelina become aggressive around food.

 

Remarks

• Hannold Draw 1 (HD-1) is a sizeable campsite area suitable for several tents or a large RV.
• NOTE: A large cleared area south of the campsite is a gravel and equipment stockpile used by the park’s road crew and contractors.
• The draw just to the east of the site may have flowing water following heavy rain.
