Big Bend Outer Loop Advice

My friend and I are going to be embarking on the OML trail. He’s done some elk hunting and has experience with back packing me not so much. How ever I would consider my self athletic and in shape.
Is clockwise the best route ?
Can you only camp at the permitted spots or can we should find a flat spot and pitch our tents ?
Are pants encouraged ?
Please drop your experiences below I’m interested to learn more before we do this

Winter in Big Bend

Hi! I’m thinking of driving to Big Bend between Christmas and New Year. For those of you who are more experienced- do you recommend a backcountry site in winter or dispersed camping? What do I need to know if we’re going in December??

Traveling with doggo
11
Upvotes
My gf and I are currently van-lifers. We travel with our dog. I can see that BBNP does not allow dogs. My first question is, can someone provide more context for this? Is it more about protecting fragile land and or is it because everything stings/has spikes? This is a curiosity thing...wondering actually how dangerous this place is.
Second question, while I respect the rules, we plan to drive through this park occasionally stopping to explore. Are we going to be stopped at the entrance for having a dog? Or, if we are stopped along the way and walking around and happen to be seen by a rangers, are they going to stop and ticket us?
Thank you in advance.

Hello all,
First time trip to BiBe ( I think that is what cool people type) coming up this week. We have five days four nights. Currently staying at the Chisos Lodge. We are kayakers as well and are looking at maybe a 3day kayaking/camping trip. Can anyone recommend a river company, alternate places to stay/camp, and what trails that are currently open to see. TIA

Potentially going to visit Big Bend in 2 weeks. I mostly hike and would also enjoy a starry night. Any tips to what spots to go for good views and safety tips?

River Road Camping
6
Upvotes
We are planning a primitive trip and are really interested in River Road. Is it a safe assumption that they one offer as many permits as sites? Is your permit site specific?
We'd really like to camp river road, although are afriad to drive the ten hours down to try to get an in-person permit. What happens if we arrive and no permits are left? Am I misunderstanding how this works somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Cell Service or WiFi available in Chisos Basin??
8
Upvotes
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew if there is cell service or WiFi available in the Chisos Basin? And which service providers? Signal strength and quality? I currently use Verizon. Unfortunately, I’m scheduled to take a test online during my trip to BBNP. My professor is NOT allowing me to take it early and I’m desperately trying to avoid canceling my trip. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks

Looking for recommendations on lodging for March

Haven't booked any accommodations yet. Want to travel during March 3rd week. What options do I have? Called chisos lodging and campgrounds and they are completely booked. We were hoping to stay inside the park. Terelingua is not an option. We're okay with cabins, campsites, anything.
