Big Bend NP
We are headed to Big Bend NP in September. We have a 37 ft TT and 10 kids. Looking for recommendations on where to camp. Thanks

As many said you can not get your rig into any other campground INSIDE the park except the Rio Grand Campground.
The campgrounds in Big Bend they could fit their RV are:
Rio Grande Village RV with hookups - Some reservable
Rio Grande Village campground - dry camping - Some reservable
Cottonwood campground (lovely) - dry camping but no generators allowed. Some reservable
The other campground in the park is Chisos Basin with a 24' motorhome restriction and a 20' trailer restriction due to the narrow winding road. Some are reservable.
We highly recommend staying in this huge park. Once inside you'd have a lot of space to cover. Staying outside the park - even if it were only a couple miles from the 'gate' is still a very long way to get to the main areas of the park. There is nothing at the 'gate'.
Agree with your suggestions to stay within the Park and the attraction of Cottonwood. I've never figured out how to reserve a site at Cottonwood though, what am I missing? I see the option to reserve the Group sites there on recreation.gov but not an individual site. Also don't see a reservations link to the full hookup CG but would use that only as a last resort so not too important. Thanks for any help here.
