Aloha MannyG20. Let me know if need a place to pitch a tent. I will be sleeping inside my Bronco in my hammock. Dheerajv is using the second parking spot and will be sleeping in his Bronco. The camping spot will be available for a tent. I can just update my reservation to show three people. Not sure about your vehicle...maybe it could be parked in front of the visitors center. I look forward to exploring Big Bend with other Broncos.
Thanks Aloha! Put me down for your campsite just in case. I can park in the Amphitheater over flow parking. Supposedly they are going to release the last remaining campsites 14 days before the reservation date so that means that tomorrow sites should be released. I am assuming they will be released tonight at midnight so I will try then.

I gotcha covered if you can't get a site. I booked my site 6 months in advance at 12:01am. Just stay on your device to be ready to compete with everyone else. 😀

How did you do MannyG20? Did you get a campsite?
So……on the Recreation.gov website it said to check on 12-14-22 for the 12-27-22 campsites to be released. I thought that was strange since it also says that the campsites would be released 14 days prior so that would be today 12-23-23. I didn’t want to miss it so I got up last night at midnight and checked and sure enough they were not released. I checked again several times early morning and no luck. I checked at 1000 and they were all booked. 😡
I ended up calling Recreation.gov and they said the campsites are released at 0900 CST. I will try again tomorrow and try to get a site for the 28th and 29th.
I am not going to be able to get to Big Bend until late Tuesday evening anyway. So I was planning on just sleeping in my Bronco in the over flow lot that night.

I have a site for Wednesday and Thursday. I thought I had snagged a Tuesday site as well but by the time I got to the payment part someone else had snatched it.
Yep. The same has happened to me. That's great that you got a site. What site number?

Meet up at Big Bend National Park on December 27th, 28th and 29th? Basecamp will be the Chisos Basin Campground.
@Aloha I am interested in purchasing your hammock. The offer was in another thread that does not allow new members to respond. I understand the price and options. Can we email each other on this to finalize?

Tell me about your Bronco. What color of fabric and thread do you want for your hammock?
