Sweet remote campsite in big bend back country.
Need permit which you can get right on rec.gov and/or visitor center. We have a sprinter with an enduro on the back (on a hitch carrier) and we did bottom out and get stuck on the way up here. Luckily some very nice people helped us out.. but just a warning if you have anything on a hitch it might be a little rough in a few spots.
Nice spot for $10!! Big bend is amazing

I stayed a bit up the road at Pine Canyon #2. There road seems to get rougher the further in you go. There is a somewhat large hill to climb after site 1, with big washed out ruts that make it a little challenging for a heavy, slow vehicle like my skoolie.

Total silence and solitude out here though. Each spot seems spaced pretty far apart. Only saw one other car the entire time I was here. Stars are incredible.

Roadside camping in Big Bend NP. You have to get a permit at any visitor center of the park, or now some sites can be reserved online. It is 10$/night. You can't book more than 24h in advance.

It is remote wilderness. No sounds, perfectly dark for stargazing. There is a food locker, but no other amenties. Pack in pack out. Easily doable with 2wd.
