Facilities were great, the Rangers were excellent.

The campsite was nice, would have been nice to have a tent pad or something a little softer for the tent. But the site was spacious, even if the picnic table was a little low.

Campsite was in a great location. Stars were unreal. Such an awesome trip.

Big Bend is such a beautiful place! We loved camping at the RioGrande Village campground. We enjoyed stargazing, hiking and cooking outdoors. Restrooms were always very clean, we highly recommend this campground and will visit again soon!

I love this campground and area. Bummed the road to the hot springs was still not open and made it a long hike. Weather was great and the only downside was how rude the woman park host was.

Drinking water availablity and clean bathroom/toilets were quite good. My only complaint is that there was no working lighting in the dishwashing space. Also, the concession store is supposed to operate showers for patrons, but during my stay showers were not working due to a water issue which the operator did not seem in a hurry to fix.
@MaryJoR12B92C7 · Camped on Dec 17, 2025 at Campsite #63
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Except for all of the donkey and horse droppings, the park was very clean.
@KathrynM671582 · Camped on Dec 15, 2025 at Campsite #15
Big Ben offers lots of nice hiking opportunities. Take time to enjoy scenic driving to Saint Elena canyon -the long drive is worth it.
@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Dec 14, 2025 at Campsite #76
Good campsites. Many with shade canopies. Very nice to have shade, even though we were visiting in December.
@JonathanK98137 · Camped on Dec 13, 2025 at Campsite #5
My group of 3 stayed here one night on December 13th. We got to see the Gemenid meteor shower. It was awesome!

Santa Elena Canyon is a cant miss
@SandraF6033177 · Camped on Dec 12, 2025 at Campsite #84
ALL the hikes. Dont be dumb, take LOTS of water. Too many times we seen people with very little water.
@StevenP6378402 · Camped on Dec 12, 2025 at Campsite #19
DEPENDNG ON THE TIME OF YEAR EXTRA CLOTHING IS NEEDED TO SIT OUT AT NIGHT WHILE STAR GAZING
@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Dec 11, 2025 at Campsite #56
Should direct RV'ers to Aramark campground reservation for full hookups. Beautiful NP with nice canyon vistas and hikes.
@NathanG6451658 · Camped on Dec 9, 2025 at Campsite #55
We stayed overnight in Site 55 with a 23ft TT. Plenty of room and the campground is beautiful. We enjoyed the Nature Trail, and will return.
@RubenEAF36FEEA · Camped on Dec 8, 2025 at Campsite #9
It was peaceful and pleasant. Everything was as advertised with no surprises. If you come with knowing what to expect, you will have an enjoyable visit. This is a place where the stars are amazing at night.
@JanpalachF7D02 · Camped on Dec 7, 2025 at Campsite #60
Like always, the campsite was great. However the road closures were as disappointing. This is due to flooding that happened six months ago. Old Ore Road should already be open. Black Gap has major damage, but according to employees on site, there are no plans for repairs.
@KarenS4720852 · Camped on Dec 7, 2025 at Campsite #20
We had a lovely stay at Rio Grande Village. Although a long drive to Chisos Basin and Santa Elena, we were able to see quite a bit of both on the day we drove over there. Meanwhile, we were able to walk to the Boquillas Crossing (it was a fairly long walk) and cross into Boquillas, which we might not have done had we not been staying nearby. There were also some nice walks we went on from our campsite. We saw coyotes in the campground, along with roadrunners. I would stay there again.
@LaurenB3809936 · Camped on Dec 7, 2025 at Campsite #77
Stayed 2 amazing weeks. Campground hosts were great. Did all we could do having a pet with us and following the park rules.
@LianyR481A6846 · Camped on Dec 6, 2025 at Campsite #92

@LindseyS639517 · Camped on Dec 4, 2025 at Campsite #7
We loved so much about this campground. Our hosts, Billy and Tonya were so helpful and kind and added even more joy to our trip. The trail behind the campground was such a fun hike for the kids and a great coffee spot to catch the sunrise. We are recruiting friends to make the trip back to Big Bend with us and we will be booking this campground again.
@TimothyFA1B47B · Camped on Dec 4, 2025 at Campsite #6
The volunteer attendants were very friendly. Some of the campsites were located in the trees. The campsites had metal canopies over the picnic table.
@BonitaSuD35E9D · Camped on Dec 2, 2025 at Campsite #24
Such a beautiful park. We extended our initial 3 day visit to 6 days and so were able to explore a good amount of it. Majestic sites, quiet campgrounds, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the variety of terrain of Texas.

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.
