The primary visitor center for the park, Panther Junction sits at the high end of Main Park Road. Besides general park information, maps, and helpful rangers, Panther Junction is the permit location for any backcountry or primitive camping within Big Bend. For certain campsites, permits are available on a first come, first served basis up to 48 hours in advance of the intended date. Campsites are assigned specifically, so come with a detailed itinerary. Note that backcountry "open" camping isn't allowed with bikes. Refill on water here at the public water fountains; restrooms are also available.
