The non generator sites are more private but none of them are even close to level. Just get a site on one of the first three loops, they're all level and you get to see the donkeys!

FLUSHING TOILETS!!!! Such a game changer. There is a TON of wildlife, cows scared us late at night mooing up a storm and eating grass right by our tent while we were trying to sleep!!! Two coyotes were running around the site the second night too so stay aware and bring a flashlight! But beautiful area with lots of people to help feel safe. Right by an amazing nature trail with beautiful views of the river and wetlands.

BeautifulNoisier than Chisos perhaps because it's bigger and easier to bring larger vehiclesCleanWell maintainedJavelina!

Site itself is fine. Bathrooms small. Shower house is not located in campground, but at Rio Grande store. Only 3 showers for all the campground. $2.00 for 5 min. We did visit Boquillas! Very easy, we actually crossed the rio grande on foot and walked to town. Make sure to bring passport.Spent one day hiking Lost Mine Trail..very steep, great views and hike. Then we drove to Santa Elena Canyon and area. Another fun hike! Highly recommend!

Rio Grande Village worked out perfectly for us...we had plenty of time the day we arrived to do all that we wanted to at that end of the park. Day 2 we spent the whole day going over to the western side and did several hikes there and Day 3 we went to Los Chisos and enjoyed all of that before coming back to do laundry and showers.

I was initially concerned that it would be difficult for me to find my camping spot, as I was arriving well after dark and my GPS did not have access to the inside of the area I was assigned. But thanks to the helpful ranger rep, I was assured that it would be well mapped upon arrival and that I had nothing to worry about. She was right, and it could not have been easier. My stay was utterly amazing with 25 miles of hiking over two full days of travel there. The Rio Grande Village was excellent in every way... laundry, shower, store and restroom facilities all fantastic. Hikes of note to definitely take - the Marsh Trail and the nearby Ernst Trail to the hot springs, not to be missed! Chisos Mountain hikes - Lost Mine Trail and Window Trail, not to be missed either! I can't wait to return, as there was much of the park I did not see. I will absolutely be coming back here!

Camped at Rio Grande Village. Large sites with covered picnic tables. Clean restrooms and the pay showers were not a problem. We stayed 4 nights. The Lost Mine hike was our favorite.

@KenM8869751 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #7

Beautiful well maintained park. A refreshing green island in a sea of brown. Very nice nature trail.

@WilliamG690099 · Camped on Nov 10, 2024 at Campsite #75

Polite restrictions on generatorsLots of shade and grassA few nice pull throughs for big rigsClean restroomsOne downside: Donkeys will leave their "digested meals" in your campground

@DouglasS589227 · Camped on Nov 10, 2024 at Campsite #62

Saw a bobcat, javelinas, donkeys, and a cow right from the campsite. Good facilities. Pretty chill.

@CharlesC950415 · Camped on Nov 9, 2024 at Campsite #93

This is a nice, but very busy campground. Unfortunately, I was stuck less than 15 yards away from three men smoking some rank smelling tobacco and frequently heating up some very smelly sort of food over a loud camp stove. They were talking loudly without pause for several hours, playing music at various volume levels depending on their mood, and kept a bright lantern on. They didn't have a tent or any sleeping bags out, and I assume they finally slept in their car. I had to tell them to settle down twice. Third time would have been to try contacting the park management, but I was so tired I finally just fell asleep.I'm more inclined to stay in the backcountry spots of BBNP and this was the first time I tent camped in a campground in many years. It's probably just me, more than the campground, but I did not enjoy my stay. Too crowded, too many vehicles (I never knew how annoying electric car noises compared are) moving around at night. Just too much going on for it to be an enjoyable stay. I'll not stay again if it looks like it's going to be even nearly as crowded as this. Other than that, the camp store is pretty well stocked and the people running it were helpful. Easy access to Boquillas and a great Sunday brunch at Falcones Restaurant made it worth the stay

I camped at Rio Grande Village. This is a very nice place to pitch your tent. Loved the visitors like cows, javalina , and little coyotes! I appreciated the washers and dryers! Unfortunately, the showers and bathrooms stink horribly. The campground was very clean and well maintained.

@DebbieP8103589 · Camped on Nov 9, 2024 at Campsite #42

Camp site 42 is private with lots of wildlife in and around the site. Very quite, if there is noise the host very quickly stops the noise. Will camp at this site again.

@LarryS9195164 · Camped on Nov 8, 2024 at Campsite #41

Our campsite was quite close the sites next to us. But we loved the location and the hike from the campground.

@BevR89F792C6BD · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #25

Great campground with picnic tables, flush toilets, dedicated dish washing sink, some no generator zone and friendly volunteer camp hosts. Lots to do close by; nature hike @ especially great for sunset, trip over to Mexico for lunch & souvenirs, Hotsprings, the canyon. And nice to have wifi and showers at the Village store.

@RodneyM1189971 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #9

Love this campground. It was my first visit without the camper. Chowders at the camp store are a nice touch. Disappointed in the cleanliness and smell of the bathrooms. Id never used them before, since we were always in the 5th wheel.

@LisaK7683911 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #100

Nice campsites with access to laundry, showers and camp store. Wi-fi was available near the camp store

@AbelC4A64508ED · Camped on Nov 6, 2024 at Campsite #61

Seen much Wildlife, great!Ranger Dennis and his wife were VERY friendly and helpful!! Oh, and the Administrator also, she was a BIG help!! Keep it up

@JoergS9A815860 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #93

Great, shady and quiet location. Close to Rio Grande with some trails.Easy access.

@DominiqueF571C · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #35

Very clean place, well situated for a lot of activities

@KendraH8370558 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #65

it is like 10 degrees hotter here than the campsite at Chisos. Lots of grass and shade options though.

@PhyllisW290499 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #7

Everything as expected

@curtbECD57B924 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #89

Its time to run electricity out to the rest of the RV campsites, you guys are 25 years behind. The full hook up site is awful. Walmart Parking lot is better.

@AmandaM8429553 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #15

Pleasantly surprised by how clean and well maintained the bathrooms were. Covered picnic tables were also great.

@ClareN1589FC85 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #22

Campground hosts were very helpful. We didnt really like our site and they switched it for us.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
