OK, I know the Natl. Parks are closed right now, but they're not going to be forever, so here's my question:
I read where there are several places in-park at Big Bend Nat'l Park that are primitive camping sites where someone with an RV could boondock (which is what I'd like to do), but they say those spots require that you have a vehicle with high clearance and 4WD. Has anyone boondocked there, and are there spots where I could camp dry with my 34' trailer (not real high clearance and no 4WD)?
White Hat - I camped in the Pine Canyon Backcountry in Big Bend several years ago. There are other Backcountry areas in Big Bend as well. I first surveyed the road before deciding to take my trailer there. I would recommend you check out the roads and talk to the Backcountry Ranger before taking your 34' trailer in there. The Pine Country road was rocky in places with numerous washes.
