We are looking at spending 6 days or so flying into San Antonio and then staying in Hill Country for a couple of nights and driving over to Big Bend for like 3 nights end of March/beginning April.

How much times does one need in Big Bend and what is the best Hill Country town that direction for a family with kids?

TIA

Isn't Big Bend a 6 hour drive from San Antonio?

as much time as you have. I've gone for as short as a day and as long as 8. I still have a ton of stuff on my to-do list and wouldn't turn down an opportunity to go for pretty much any length. I'd personally skip the hill country and just hang out in the big bend region but I'm also frequently in the hill country.

That's probably a good time as spring break is middle of March and the eclipse is April 8th and most everything is booked for that time. Like another poster said, you can spend a lot of time in the Big Bend area. But if you just want to hit the park then 3 days is probably good.

Do one or the other. Wimberley, Boerne, Kerrville, Bandera.

Big Bend is massive. I just went. It takes an hour to get anywhere once inside and it is crowded. I frankly wasn’t that impressed with it.

I don’t think that’s enough time to do SA and Hill country properly. It takes a full day to drive to Big Bend and another coming back. Big bend has a lot of stuff to see and hike and is VERY remote. I’d separate those if possible.

Eclipse is April 8. Passes right through that area.
