Have a great trip! I would be interested how it goes. A buddy and I are putting a trip together for the end of April.Hey all.....we're heading to Big Bend starting Feb 1. Any suggestions on where to camp and or things nog to miss?

Not the OP, but thanks for the suggestions. Your video was great too. That Power Wagon was a thing of beauty.All the primitive campsites inside the park are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Meaning, you cant make reservations for those sites. You'll have to go to the Panther Junction Ranger station if you want one.
My recommendations for the best primitive campsites are:
1) Tally 4
2) Tally 3
3) Glen Springs 1
You can make reservations for the "normal" campsites located near the ranger stations at Chisos Basin, Cottonwood, and the Rio Grande. These are the best locations for RVs and civilized accommodations. Checkout recreation.gov
Outside the park, I highly recommend Rancho Topanga ( Rancho Topanga Campgrounds ) and Basecamp Terlingua ( Basecamp Terlingua )
Things not to miss checking out:
1. Santa Elena Canyon
2. Mariscal Mine
3. Ernst Tinja
4. Christmas Mountain (outside the park)
Lemme know if you have more questions.
Here's us last year:
