There are some excellent, easily accessible campsites in Big Bend. Don't try to camp at the ones you mention. When I get back home from the GMCMI rally in Tallahassee I can look up the campground that we have stayed at there and even give you some campsite numbers of pull through sites that would work well for a GMC pulling a toad. You can day trip to everywhere in Big Bend from the campground we used.

So...Emery, when you get a chance, could you please look up the camping information in Big Bend for us?

Thanks Emery! That's exactly our plan, to day trip from the base camp. The info on the campsite you recommend would be much appreciated.
