A great spot! The covered picnic tables are great, and the structures that support the roof are great for a hammock! This site is right across from the Nature Trail entrance though, so can get annoying with all the activity.

Beautiful location and nice roomy sites. Facilities were all nice and clean.
@MarkH6047851 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #18
Nice, well maintained park. Some sites are permitted to use generators, others nearby arent permitted to use them but can clearly hear them. I prefer limited hours for all sites.The volunteer led geographical walk is worth the time.
@MarkusBC0355BF · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #29
Nice shady and large site. Bathrooms need a bit more attention when campground is full.
@RaymondR691857 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #77
Campground was well cared for with all amenities available. Pleased to find out there were no vault toilets and ample fresh water available.

Lovely experience.
@KurtK2244402 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #83
Nice level site with little shade. We saw javelinas, cows, donkeys and horses from our campsite. The restrooms were clean. The nature trail was beautiful at sunset. We sat out and stargazed every night.
@KristiM9431385 · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #81
Absolutely loved the animals and large, clean sites. Our camp host was amazing and so friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Ive done lots of camping in Texas state parks and in every campground the staff are always miserable and on a mission to catch you doing something wrong. She made this such a different experience and I am so grateful!

It was large and clean. It had a picnic table and surrounding trees for privacy. Close to bath house as well as an awesome nature trail which is a must do for sunset. Only difficult part was it was super rocky and made it difficult for sleeping without an air mattress or thick sleeping pad.
@hannahs3959546 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #43
Loved our stay in Rio Grande Village. The spots were just spread out enough that it didnt feel too crowded, but just close enough to give a good community feel. Bathrooms were well kept. We saw several animals and wildlife at our site. Cant wait to come back.

Rio Grande Nature Trail is beautiful at sunset. Very close to Boquillas Canyon and Hot Springs.
@KellyL9368530 · Camped on Mar 17, 2025 at Campsite #78
There was plenty to see and do during our three-day stay in Big Bend, camping at Rio Grande Village. Would have been even more fun if water level had been higher so we didnt have to carry our canoe through some shallow stretches on our easy float from gravel pit to Rio Grande Village.
@MikeM9721189 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #63
Campground was very nice and well maintained. Recommend the nature trail at RGV as it is a nice easy trail that ascends to an elevation that provides beautiful views of the Rio Grande as well as the canyons.We enjoyed riding on the 4X4 trails, particularly Black Gap. Lastly, highly recommend the hot springs for a soothing and relaxing soak.
@DavidW7736336 · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #30
Excellent park with many options when it comes to outdoor activities. Especially enjoined the Stargazing event lead by park rangers, stargazing from the hot springs after dark, hiking the Lost Mine Trail and Window View sunset. Visiting Boquillas was also a nice diversion across the border. Enjoyed the free ranging wildlife (javelina, coyote, roadrunners, foxes) and domestic animals (donkeys, horses, and cattle in small numbers) walking about the Rio Grande Village Campground.
@CoreySEB6D611F · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #34
This was an amazing trip! The campsite was clean, and easy to access all amenities. The volunteer staff were always circling around and staying on top of the rules and giving that helpful feedback on the park. The NPS staff were always keeping the area clean and they were helpful with all information as well. We will be back!
@JosephN5057493 · Camped on Mar 14, 2025 at Campsite #72
I enjoyed four days at Big Bend
@TeresaT4A09C05 · Camped on Mar 14, 2025 at Campsite #89
BRAVO for the recycle options. The best we have seen over the last yr on the road. Plenty of critters in the campground javalenas, cows and horses. We will be back in the future.
@StephenF342835 · Camped on Mar 13, 2025 at Campsite #47
An average car campground in the desert. Bathroom a little run down - Soap dispenser broken, one stall without toilet paper. Was nice staging area for a backpack trip.
@KaraR6B0C5A61E · Camped on Mar 10, 2025 at Campsite #52
Fresh water pumps to fill your gallon containers at the bath houses. This was very helpful. Clean and quiet, well maintained.
@LarryU5F4910D7 · Camped on Mar 9, 2025 at Campsite #54
Camp hosts were wonderful. It was delightful seeing the donkeys, mules, roadrunners, and javelinas strolling through the campground. Our spot was level. Easy quick drive over to the hot springs for a soak and then swim in the river. Camp store is convenient and provisioned with essentials. The dump station and water fill was incredibly clean and well provisioned. I can see that this place can get HOT since we were here in early March, so take this into account for your own time frame. We stayed the night prior in Chisos Basin Campground. Much cooler for temps and the views were of a more in-your-face spectacular-ness. I can highly recommend doing both for a long weekend trip!
@ValerieZ6BC9C1 · Camped on Mar 8, 2025 at Campsite #46
Beautiful campground with spacious sites. Loved that there were flush toilets, a very well stocked camp store, showers and laundry.
@HeatherUA264E0 · Camped on Mar 8, 2025 at Campsite #17
Great site. Worked great for a large 6-person tent plus garage that fit nicely between the paved pad and the shrubs. Very close proximity to site 16, which was great for traveling with friends. May be less than ideal with loud neighbors. Charcoal grill is in a weird spot but we never used it. This site would not be recommended for a pull through trailer and is definitely best for tents. Lots of foot traffic from the nature trail but the quick and easy access to go to the nature trail view morning, moon, and night is a huge plus. Short walk to bathrooms, water, and trash.
@JordanF6322980 · Camped on Mar 8, 2025 at Campsite #28
So much wildlife & amazing access to the east side of the parks offerings.
@BenjaminCAB29F · Camped on Mar 7, 2025 at Campsite #96
This was a great campground. The hosts were friendly and the sites were rv friendly.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
