Be prepared for animals around the campground, javelina, donkeys, horses, etc. The drive to St Elena canyon is highly recommended. Get there early if you want to do the hike. There is some moderate climbing involved. We were there around 2 pm,100 so we did not do the hike. People coming back said it was a great view. Maybe next time

Camp hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable

@KristenW516199 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #50

Feral donkeys screaming all night. Three of them nearly trampled my tent. Multiple insane donkeys racing through campsites all night long was not in my big bend bingo card.

@ToddA1034809 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #6

What a wonderful place.

@KyleS7386692 · Camped on Apr 5, 2025 at Campsite #50

Has running water for toilets, trailer hookups, dedicated dishwashing sinks. The campgrounds have hosts on duty for assistance. Really close to a super easy nature trail thats a great morning walk overlooking the Rio Grande. The campground has wild horses, wild cows, and wild javelinas roaming regularly so you need to have food secured, but each campsite has large bear boxes included.

@KevinT2315580 · Camped on Apr 5, 2025 at Campsite #8

Amazing campsite with the most friendly camp hosts. Unique in that Wildlife frequent the area, from cows, horses, donkeys and Javelina. Showers could use some upgrades, but otherwise excellent!

@BrittaB8249668 · Camped on Apr 5, 2025 at Campsite #11

Quiet, lots of wild life.

We stayed for 4 nights at Rio Grande Village in early April. We booked a bit late so we had to move twice, but that was OK; we have a motorhome and it is easy to switch sites. The good news is that we were able to experience both generator and non-generator site areas in the campground that had no hookups. The sites are very roomy and many have quite a bit of shade from trees and/or covers. We had 3 lovely sites, each with unique advantages. The hosts were particularly attentive and did a good job of keeping generator usage within the time limits as well as making sure everyone was following other rules. Other than some temperature and wind extremes we could have done without, we had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the park.

Such a wonderful place to explore. Gina and Cory, our camp hosts were wonderful. We saw a Vermilion flycatcher, Havelina pig, wild burrows, road runners, and half a hundred turkey buzzards. We experienced all four seasons in the seven days that we were there. From 104F to a beautiful rain and our breath puffing in the cold air on the last morning we were there. We took a wonderful adventure horseback trip in Boquillas Mexico, with Edgar Ureste. Highly recommend, it was wonderful. I had wonderful cell phone coverage at the bridge. Five minutes away. And the Wi-Fi at the visitor center is fast and reliable. Thank you!

@MichaelT862538 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #8

Wonderful five days even though extremely, unseasonably warm. Beautiful campground though at the southern end of the park, we were still able to cover the whole park, visiting the majority of the sites and hiking many of the trails. The only problem is the abundance of livestock, crossing the river from Mexico to graze the campground and deposit an ABUNDANCE of droppings. If it wasnt for the absolutely wonderful camp hosts who daily (sometimes twice a day) voluntarily (not in their job description) muck out the campground of cow, horse, javalina and donkey dung. If they didnt there would be no place to pitch a tent. Almost like being in a stockyard.

Avoid spring break, if possible. The park destinations were much less crowded Monday and Tuesday than the previous weekend. Santa Elena canyon was beautiful. The historical preservations are educational and interesting as well as the presentation at the Pine Junction visitors center.

@LindsayD9CF223 · Camped on Mar 29, 2025 at Campsite #18

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.

@DavidG5648223 · Camped on Mar 26, 2025 at Campsite #44

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.

@RandonW9CB0200 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #7

Was a great campground. Excellent!!

@JanW2093656 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #9

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!

@StaceyOE5F78AE · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #26

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.

@MichaelP128679 · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #6

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.

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
