Big Bend National Park

[Alistair Camelford]

Thanks Al and Cindy. I figured the Reserve America stuff was a bit overdone...but it's good to get the straight goods from someone who's been there. If I can tow around the hairpins of the mountains of West Virginia, I oughta be OK in Big Bend :^)
Cheers...Alistair

Actually, the road into the Chisos Basin isn't the real problem (camp hosts are in big 5Ws and tour busses go to hotel); the tight quarters are INSIDE the campground. I highly advise parking out front and walking in first to look it over. Sometimes it's tight turns around boulders and sometimes it's the spur road with no turnaround and to get out you have to back around an uphill curve

Keep in mind that the CG was really built for tent campers. BTW, if its raining, I try to pick on of the sites that get slightly flooded so the tenters can have the dry sites.
