Parking for zone camping

[rvfd42]

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but where do you park a vehicle for zone camping? I've been to BiBe many times, but always camped out of the truck or in the Chisos. Schedules force me to go over spring break this year so I expect I'll be forced into zone camping because of the crowds.

I'm looking forward to the zone camping. I just don't know what to do with my truck.

There are pull-outs every so often along the major roads where you can park safely. While it is tempting to park on the shoulder, it's discouraged, as many who do so end up either too close to the road (potentially causing accidents, especially at busy periods like Spring Break) or on top of wildflowers. Backcountry roads are usually narrow so parking along them can be challenging. Resist the temptation to park in a dry wash -- if it rains heavily upstream, your car may not be there when you get back. There is also parking at most trailheads and roadside exhibits.

when you get your permits, they will get info for your truck (make , model, color, license.)  you also tell them where you're going to park your truck.  just on the side of the road (off the road) wherever you want.

If you are camping off the side of the road in the Zone areas, you can park your car on the side of the paved or dirt road.  Tell the ranger when you get your permit what you plan to do, and they will give you a small slip of paper for the dashboard which states you are backpacking.  Johnny Law ranger will stop and check your car out when he passes by.  He just can't help it.  The paper slip will set his mind at ease.  Either he or the "volunteers" will write down in their notes when and where they saw your car, so your cars location will be tracked.

That's simple! Thanks for the replies!
