During winter trips to Arizona I stopped at Big Bend National Park. On different trips I've stayed in all three campgrounds, Rio Grande Village Campground, Chisos Basin, and Cottonwood. While reservations are possible for some sites at Rio Grande Village & Chisos Basin, Cottonwood is first come. Since it is an 80 mile drive into the park, I suggest getting there early, particularly during March, when Spring Breakers fill all the sites. All camping is dry, withe the exception of a concession run parking lot at Rio Grande Village. There are vault or flush toilets but no showers, although pay showers are available at the camp store at Rio Grande Village.
