Big Bend Roads

As others have said, Chisos Basin is out. But Rio Grande Village, the main campground, is a great place from which to explore. Several trailheads there.

As mentioned, no problems with towing. We have been there 6 times, always stay in Study Butte. Love it there- We have been in Oct several times- perfect weather, not crazy busy.

We've always stayed at Rio Grande Village campground (not the RV park next door) or Cottonwood. The main park roads are terrific - no drop-offs or twisties - mainly open vistas. Hiking is awesome in that park. We were last there the first week of November and the bright yellow cottonwoods were gorgeous against the bright blue sky. It's a very special park. Enjoy! Scour the park's website for lots of good information including camping.

Ditto on the above. I'd suggest driving the River road in that jeep (after checking with the rangers). It is long and we saw one other vehicle the whole trip but we were there in July, there may be more traffic in October. There are lots of interesting things to see on the road including an abandoned mine and ghost town.

We were camping hosts at Big Bend Chisos Basin CG from Apr- Aug 2014.

He will not be taking that MH into the Chisos Mountains Basin. Road is narrow with 5 tight switchbacks. The rig won't fit anywhere in the CG.

All the other paved roads in Big Bend NP and on the way to the park are excellent. No serious grades or tight curves.

The only FHU camping within the park is the concessionaire run area at Rio Grande Village. It is a parking lot with utility hooks at the back of the rig.

Rio Grande Village has some sites that will hold that MH for dry camping. Generators can be run in part of the RGV campground. Cottonwood campground does not allow generators. A nice small CG - Cottonwood has a couple sites that would hold that rig.

Back roads for 4 wheel drive vehicles - some are excellent some the Rangers cannot travel at times. Check with a ranger / the visitor center each day about specific roads and conditions before setting out.

Busy season - Big Bend only bothers with campground reservations between Nov 15 and April 15. Winter holidays - Thanksgiving and Christmas are very busy. The busiest is spring break. second week of March to mid-April.
