    Big Bend/ Chisos Basin

    just returned from the Big Bend area ... we pulled a 9ft trailer and did a drive through Chisos. Looks like you have gotten the best advice mentioned earlier. All I can say was that most of the sites seem to cater to tents but there were a few that would accommodate small trailers. We passed...
