Operating Hours Details
Entrances to Big Bend National Park are open 24/7, throughout the year, although entrance fee stations' operational hours may vary by season. Visitors can enter the park at any time, but should note that fee stations and visitor centers might be closed outside standard business hours. Reservations for all park campgrounds must be made via www.recreation.gov, and those staying at the lodge after hours should inform the lodge directly. Visitor centers, including Panther Junction, Chisos Basin, Rio Grande Village, Persimmon Gap, and Castolon, have specific daily operating hours, with closures for lunch and seasonal adjustments. Aramark provides various services within the park, with operational hours available on their website. The Boquillas Crossing Port of Entry operates seasonally, requiring a passport for crossing.
