My e-mail to the park:
I need clarification.
With a valid Texas Concealed Handgun License I can carry in the park, but I
cannot go to the restroom?
That might cut my trip a bit short. Please clarify.
Response that I just received:
Most of the restrooms in the park are adjacent to visitor centers. Simply
leave your weapon in your vehicle while you visit the visitor center and
the restrooms. There are a few "portapotties" scattered throughout the
park - these are not considered federal buildings, and you can certainly
carry your handgun into the portapotty if you wish to do so.
I hope this clarifies the situation.
Please contact me again if I can be of further assistance.

Re: Firearms in Federal Park
We talking about the same park (Big Bend)? The website states that you can carry, but spells out the exceptions.

Re: Firearms in Federal Park
I sent an e-mail to the Park Manager and advised him that if I could not carry in the restroom, it might shorten any trips that I make to the park.
