Extreme heat and no electricity at first site.Staf was able to find a site with hook ups for our last 2 nights(site13) which was a welcome relief. Unfortunately the sewer line was broken and leaked sewage all over the ground,

We enjoyed the amount of space and surroundings at the campground. The donkeys were very cool!!

@TracyC8170684 · Camped on Apr 20, 2026 at Campsite #29

Awesome campsite. Loop 1, site #29. Shaded & secluded.

Finally got to the Hot Springs, great visit!

What a beautiful campground with clean bathrooms and a nice nature hike.

@ManojR5E002B63 · Camped on Apr 18, 2026 at Campsite #87

Nice campsite. Was level and had enough shade. Clean toilets. Also the coin operated shower facility is a bonus. The day was a bit windy, so that kind of ruined the experience a bit. But not the fault of the campground.

@FrankM8297302 · Camped on Apr 18, 2026 at Campsite #26

I love the loop one sites. The give you a feeling of seclusion, and they protect you from the wind.

@keithh9614073 · Camped on Apr 17, 2026 at Campsite #54

Large spot with soft grass and a cover over my table to shelter me from the sun. Also, a big bear-proof container was handy.

@NinaJ9222096 · Camped on Apr 15, 2026 at Campsite #27

I enjoyed staying here. The campsites were clean and often semi-private.. the people at the store were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Campground! Walk the Rio Grande Nature Trail! Had a wonderful time and would love to return someday. Stop the border wall! Big Bend is under threat destruction by border wall construction and hundreds of patrol roads scarring the landscape. Access to many areas of the national park will be effectively cut off. This is a terrible crime against the land and our ability to enjoy and care for it. Please take action to save Big Bend National Park.

Best campground in Big Bend! The atmosphere was incredible, camped next to donkeys and javelina, crossed the river at Boquillas and the night sky was the brightest Ive ever seen!! Plus they have showers at the store. Theyre not the best, but the only ones in the park.

@TommyG8369047 · Camped on Apr 14, 2026 at Campsite #64

facilities and services could be improved. Very little park service help available. Almost everything handled by volunteers.

@christine58326 · Camped on Apr 13, 2026 at Campsite #76

Greatly enjoyed our experience. Camp hosts were super friendly and knowledgeable. All facilities were well maintained and clean. Highly recommend Big Bend Grande Rio Village!

@JamesM9879118 · Camped on Apr 12, 2026 at Campsite #64

We very much enjoyed our visit to the Big Bend but we ran into a difficulty at the Rio Grande Village campground. One of us requires the use of a medical oxygen generator at night for supplementaloxygen. We had picked an RV site at the end of a loop to be away from other campers. I had intended to contact the Campground Host to discuss the use of the generator at night but there was a sign in place indicating the Host was off duty. The noise made by the generator is low but is noticeable in an otherwise quiet setting. After we operated the generator until 4:30 a.m., the camp host came to our campsite and told us we had to shut it off. We chose to leave the campground and seek an alternate place for the remainder of the night. In retrospect, we should have gotten clarification about the Park policy on generator operation for medical purposes.

Campsites were clean and well marked, restrooms were well placed and easily found

@LaurenGE6ABB1D · Camped on Apr 11, 2026 at Campsite #63

Favorite campsite. Not back country, and each site was evenly spaced out. Very helpful to have a bathroom and a gas station and shower station down the road

@AndrewT9982192 · Camped on Apr 11, 2026 at Campsite #30

Amazing time - Boquillas was awesome, also the Boquillas Canyon hike was nice. Campgrounds were good, some sites more private than others.

@MichaelL540355 · Camped on Apr 11, 2026 at Campsite #98

Great hiking and great views

@HeatherAA514FA · Camped on Apr 11, 2026 at Campsite #42

We had an amazing time at Big Bend and the Rio Grande Village. The campsites were clean and bear boxes available. Gas and local convenience store are close and well stocked. Bathrooms and trash cans are readily available. Being so close to the RGV nature walk was definitely a plus, birdwatching and beautiful sunsets galore! Staff was friendly and helpful. Hiking the Chisos mountain was our favorite part. We tried to hike Santa Elena but unfortunately it was closed when we got there due to weather, It is quite a drive from RGV though so be prepared to leave early and get gas the night before. We will definitely be back!

@AnthonyF294780 · Camped on Apr 10, 2026 at Campsite #95

I recommend going on the Rio Grande nature trail.

@HeidiM5039777 · Camped on Apr 9, 2026 at Campsite #94

Loved the wild burros!

@TediRE5C4D5D2F · Camped on Apr 9, 2026 at Campsite #95

Amazing experience!

@EdC8853916 · Camped on Apr 8, 2026 at Campsite #30

Camp host looked thru our ( empty) ice. Chest when we werent there. Donkeys roaming and breying on and off all night, neighbors up talking and laughing till midnight.

@DebD269020C410 · Camped on Apr 8, 2026 at Campsite #35

Site 35 should not be an RV site. It warns against overhead branches but the biggest problem were the side branches. Ours was a 19 foot Lance bumper trailer, not tall. Measurements of site given suggested it would fit. The entry road was so tight that my husband almost had to jack knife the trailer to get it in. Once in, he had to again manipulate the position so slide came out. We got scratched by branches going in/out front door. It was extremely stressful.

@JanelleC2EA52D · Camped on Apr 7, 2026 at Campsite #22

Beautiful, quite campground, great location for hiking, visiting historic hot springs, and birdwatching. We saw a lot of wildlife in the campground!

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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.
