Big Bend is amazing and not crowded. Definitely one of the best national parks in the US, IMO. The scenery is very unique amd feels very different from almost all the others.
I say stay at Big Bend the entire time. There’s more than enough to do. Terlingua and Marfa provide some nice towns (with their own respective VERY unique feels as well) to enjoy outside the park.
Carlsbad and Guad are nice of course. Just nothing like Big Bend though, IMO.
The best hikes at Big Bend are Emory Peak and South Rim. Lost Mine and Santa Elena Canyon are also very beautiful.
Watch the first 45 minutes of Paris, Texas before you go. It was filmed in the area and really showcases the wonderful solitude there.
Watch out for the border patrol station. They won’t bother you if you don’t have any illicit substances, but they do have dogs on site.

I drove out to Big Bend last spring break for the first time. It was amazing. The blue bonnets were out. Debating driving back out this year again.
