Boondocking at Big Bend Nat'l Park

Grapevine Springs has a number of spots along the road and you should be able to get all the way into the Springs which has some great campsites. There are also a lot of spots along the West River Road, some right down on the river. If you enter from the west end you'll also find a lot of fantastic spots, although last year the first mile or so of the road looked a little dicey. Enter from the Village end on the east and you shouldn't have a problem getting all the way into the old mercury mine. There are also spots along the the road that goes from the entrance station on 118 down to the Cottonwoods Campground. That road was in great shape last year. There are some fantastic spots along the Old Mile Trail Road but that road is too rough for your setup. Although on both ends of the road (Dagger Flats on the north and the Village on the south end) have a number of good spots that you can reach before getting to the rough part of the road. Every year I've been down there at Christmas most of the primitive sites have been empty.
