Backcountry Camping. For visitors with rugged vehicles, or the willingness to leave the road behind and backpack into the wild, Big Bend provides options for backcountry camping. A backcountry permit is required for all backcountry camping. Permits are available in person up to 24 hrs in advance at Panther Junction and Chisos Basin Visitor Centers. As of February 2020, a selection of the most popular backcountry campsites are available for online permitting up to 180 days in advance via www.recreation.gov.
