Texas/SE NM during Spring Break - just getting our trailer

We purchased our trailer 1-30-21 and won't take delivery for a week or two. Now I'm trying to find a 4-6 day cruise around central Texas or even the gulf coast from west Texas and I'm not finding any state or national park (Big Bend) availability.

We might end up boondocking up in the mountains around Cloudcroft, but I'm concerned about the Covid restrictions and weather in New Mexico.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Spring Break is an extremely busy time of year at Big Bend NP.

    I'm also finding Texas SP heavily booked for weekends months in advance.

    I lost over $100 last year when the state of NM cancelled several paid state park reservations we had in June, July, Aug and Sep.

    Don't know how far east you want to go, but there might be availability at some COE campgrounds near Canyon Lake, Proctor Lake, Hords Creek Lake.

    Over the past 9 years, I found March to be busy and crowded in Texas as a lot of people put their rigs on the road for the first time of the year.
