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

It is a maddening game of "were you able to make a reservation?" but the effort is worth it. Do not let the limited generator hours discourage you. The people and the ambiance at the campsite are well worth the effort.

I was in site 68. End of the row, no trees. The site was level so I didn't have to do any special leveling of my 32 foot motorhome. This pull-through site had plenty of parking space to accomodate my RV the Jeep I tow. No wood fires allowed, though you could use propane and charcoal for cooking at your campsite. Campground hosts were very welcoming, provided great information and suggestions on things to do based on my length of stay and available time. All the campsites were well maintained and promptly cleaned by the volunteer camphosts when guests departed. The sites are well spaced out. Many with trees providing shade. If you have a big / tall rig, be sure to check to make sure your rig will not be damaged by tree limbs because of choosing a shaded site. Bathrooms were clean, and well maintained, though could use some updating. No showers - there are coin operated showers at the RGV Store. NOTE when I took a shower there I could not get hot water! I opted to just use my RV shower and had to fill my fresh water tank and dump my grey tank sooner than planned. A minor convenience considering...Chisos Mountain area is one of the shining stars of this park - an oasis in the middle of the desert, with an ecosystem all its own. The Boquillas and Santa Elena canyon hikes were two other highlights of my visit.

This is a very nice campground for its location. Our specific site was tricky for leveling (and were only in a truck camper). The toilets were fine and kept clean, the dishwashing area was ok but tiny. Generators were used prolifically by our neighbors, but were turned off during actual quiet hours. We loved the nearby trails, and the wildlife (tons of javelina and some huge coyotes) walking through the campground itself. The campground with full hookups looked terrible in comparison; its just a tiny parking lot, essentially.

Rio Grand campground was great. The spots are large and the campground was quite.
@JustineRDA5F2D · Camped on Mar 6, 2024 at Campsite #68
large sites and plenty of nearby hikes, like the nature trail and the hot springs . Favorite was The Pinnacles loop trail at Chisos. grocery items and gas nearby as well.

This park should be on everyones bucket list. Amazingly beautiful and spectacular scenery. Exceeded my expectations. Volunteers were great people very helpful, personable and take their job seriously. I am coming back!

Decent sites, a mix of RV and tent. Hosts were nice. Shower and store are half mile away tho. Generators are supposed to be shut off at night, my neighbor ran theirs all night. Great star gazing.

The park host was so sweet and helpful. The campground is right near the nature trail. Amazing.

The campground was fine, would have liked hot water in the bathrooms. Big Bend National Park is a must do park, a lot to see and do and the ranger programs were great.
