quite open space with little privacy

Very large campground on the banks of the Rio Grande. Fairly well maintained, with flush toilets, pay showers, camp store, laundry, and gas. A limited number of RV sites with full hook-ups. Beautiful scenery, and a "port of entry" to visit a small Mexico border town, which exists off of tourism. Very unique experience!

Pretty area for a campground (I prefer remote/back country type). Best there spaces, very nice! Extremely clean bathrooms. Park host, Paula, very nice & stopped to confirm who I was, etc.. areas to run generators & generator free zones. Dump & refill station and store close by. Fresh water spigots within campground.

Everything we expected. Nightly visits from several grazing Javelinas was a treat.
@KevinC5577695 · Camped on Mar 3, 2026 at Campsite #59
It worth staying... our first visit.. I did not understand the the gov sites were ALL no service and the serviced ones were operated by a private company.. thats why I did not get any waitlist notifications for those as you have to call for the serviced ones. Also, the showers are part of the private company and they charge $2 in quarters... All in all a great park just very dissapointing that it is not better served by the park service. If we went again we would stay out of park and drive in

It is sad that the only store available for Miles does not have anything practical, specifically mentioning drinks. Its almost like a genz in a board room in New York City chose what they like to drink at Starbucks. Need to have practical water for people who are actually on the road and some decent things to drink.

Great location, great campground, we were there specifically since this area is a dark sky park and at 4 AM we were going to be getting up for the lunar eclipse. Right during the middle of that, and there were dozens of people out there, the campground host got up and turned her outside white lights on, kept getting in and out of her truck which turned her headlights on, and then started driving all around the campground in her golf cart with all of her bright white lights on. You would think somebody hosting in a dark sky Park would have a little bit more knowledge of whats going on around them.

Great campground, friendly manager and the no-generator loop had a nice amount of privacy from the rest of the campground which was also appreciated.
@AngelinaC6F713 · Camped on Feb 28, 2026 at Campsite #48
Stayed at Rio Grand Village for two nights. Had to stay in two different sites due to availability in getting consecutive nights in the same spot. For us it's no big deal with a truck camper moving is quick and easy. Both sites were clean and neat upon our arrival. Bathrooms were neat and clean as well. The camps host visited our site and informed us of a dark sky event at Panther Junction which we were unaware, so hats off to them! All in lovely as we were very impressed with Big Bend in general, the camp hosts and staff at Panther Junction. Plus the many hiking trails availalbe to us. Oh should mention, there is no cell or wifi service in the campground, thank you for eliminating that annoyance, enjoy the dark sky!

The camp ground regulations seem to be rather capricious and arbitrary. There are campsites next to each other where one site is allowed generators while the other is not. There are other requirements that are just about as silly.
@DanyC6F3DC5753 · Camped on Feb 27, 2026 at Campsite #59
Use of generators are abused. Also people going to the restrooms and letting their vehicles motor run. Lots of noise for people in tents or like us small autonomous RV.
@Marguerit4661B · Camped on Feb 27, 2026 at Campsite #29
We only stayed one night tent camping but wish we had planned for more. The camp hosts were very helpful and loaned me a hammer to get my tent stakes in. Wonderful to hear all the birds and coyotes.bathroom facilities were nice and had an electrical outlet so I could make morning coffee.
@AngelinaC6F713 · Camped on Feb 27, 2026 at Campsite #82
We found the campground, facilities and services in good order and as described in associated materials. Hiked many trails, took and opportunity to see Boquillas and relaxed with star filled skies. Overall a very nice and enjoyable stay. There is a question about cellular service - for us, not having cellular service is not a concern, in fact we like the aspect of not being drawn to using our phones.
@GovertB5B1E67E · Camped on Feb 26, 2026 at Campsite #94
We were there for three nights. The mens room had very little to no toilet paper and was not cleaned once while we were there.People kept walking through our sight and did not respect campground etiquette.
@GRACEZ076B4E76 · Camped on Feb 26, 2026 at Campsite #64
well maintained campsite. the nature trail is a wonderful spot for sunset. we encountered a peaceful javelina during our stay. nearby village store comes handy when needed, but the items they carry are limited. better stock up before visiting.
@RussH7008335 · Camped on Feb 25, 2026 at Campsite #84
We booked 5 days here and were worried it was too long, but not at all, we could have stayed longer. Big Bend NP exceeded my expectations and we just scratched the surface. From hikes to the extensive River Road drive to amazing geological wonders, and cool birds, we hope to return.
@DonaldM3739134 · Camped on Feb 24, 2026 at Campsite #74
Wonderful place to see the stars nice clean campground great hosts
@AlfredD1C441BD · Camped on Feb 24, 2026 at Campsite #72
Great campground when youre staying for several days at Big Bend.
@lisag1860020 · Camped on Feb 23, 2026 at Campsite #20
This is a nice, private site for a campervan. It is in the no generator zone, but very close to it, so you definitely hear nearby generators running. Restroom was clean. Very convenient to nearby trails. Lots of birds/birding in the area.
No Service
@TerryC3713393 · Camped on Feb 23, 2026 at Campsite #31
Good campsites. No cell service anywhere in the park.
@KarenB2737002 · Camped on Feb 22, 2026 at Campsite #7
We were in site #7 mid February and it was fine for our 22' camper and truck. The shelters are nice because there is no shade. Sticker grass everywhere even though the grass is irrigated. Nice hiking within the camp and recommend the Ranger led hike.
@JoeR4253294 · Camped on Feb 22, 2026 at Campsite #47
Our area was flooded for irrigation which made things a little difficult, the gate was not opened at the appropriate time and we were flooded more than we needed to be. Two out of three showers were out of order the week we were there. One of the two toilets in our area was not working properly .

4 day visit was great!
@DebraVE505D424 · Camped on Feb 22, 2026 at Campsite #93
Giving you a 9 - would give you a 10 but one of your staff decided to discuss Politics!!!! - I vacation for Peace!!! Not your employees opinions !!!! This is not the time or place to bring up while they are representing the National Park !! I had the same thing come up at two other National Parks!!!! Its very Tasteless!!!

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.

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.
