We've been through Big Bend once (but did not camp there) on a long RV trip through the Southeastern U.S.. Big Bend looked to be a beautiful and pristine desert wilderness park area to spend more time in.
I wonder what the reasons are for that area not being used more as an easy backcountry crossing point from Mexico into the U.S.??
Rugged terrain and distance.
Boquillas is the tiny poor town across the river where less than 200 people live. The nearest Mexican town to them is via a dirt road for 150 miles. Basically, the area is too difficult to get across and carry enough water. The people of Boquillas depend on the small national park store for their staples and from tourism from Big Bend visitors. The people live on very little but are gentle, happy people.
