I'm working on my plans traveling across TX. We enter and spend a few days in San Antonio as we explore the MIssion trail. Ya, I have to see the Alamo!

From there we head to Big Bend, yet to long a drive with too much in between.. We won't make that drive! We just explore too much...

Amistad Nation Rec Area looks really cool, yet best I can tell is closed.. Any clue here?
Backup would be to use one of these 'roadside' spots (rest areas to me) that allow overnighting. Anyone have any experience with these or up to date info?

I'm working San Antonio to Big Bend and hoping to explore a bit along the way. Any info or direction will e truly appreciated!

Safe Travels all!

Looks like I'm going from SA to Big Bend NP by way of Seminole Caynon SP. Pretty close to the halfway point and goes through Amistad NRA. 

If you been, please do pass along your impressions of the route.

Leaving Big Bend is a run to a Ghost Town and Big Bend Ranch before we turn north again to Marfa (for the lights) and onward too Carlsbad.

When driving through west Texas, I is always a good thing to pack some scenery.  That way you have something to look at on the way back.  If you are looking to take in National Parks, your route takes you close to Guadalupe Mountains National Park.  However, I don't believe there is RV overnight camping there.
Enjoy Life!!

Will be driving right through there! Thank you for mentioning it! We'll camp Pine Springs GMNP or grab a spot on BLM between to two parks.
