West Texas Adventure: Backcountry Camping in Big Bend National Park

Day 4 of my West Texas adventure and overlanding trip takes me and my off-road teardrop camper trailer to the backcountry Big Bend National Park. I pass through Terlingua for a few supplies and take a trip down FM170 along the Rio Grande and U.S.-Mexico Border.

Despite the fact that we were in the spring “busy” season, I was fortunate to snag a backcountry campsite off of Glenn Springs Road. It sits a few miles off the paved highway and is one of 64 backcountry sites in the park. I enjoy a night of quiet before my journey down River Road to the Mariscal Mine the following day.

    Beautiful out there isn’t it? I went out there in 2018 and fell in love with it so much I bought a few acres and camp a few times a year. Coincidently, I actually found your channel because I just ordered a venturist as well and am planning on figuring a way to work from there remotely a few days a year so I can extend trips. Great info!
