Campsite was as advertised. Pleasantly quiet. Lots of birds around. Excellent night sky view from the campsite. Hosts were polite and helpful

Though the campground was nice, there is not a lot in the area. We thought wed go into Mexico for dinner but they stop that at 4:00. We did visit the hot springs though and that was fun.

Beautiful park with lovely backcountry campsite on East Rim in Chisos mountain as well as car camp site in Rio Grande Village... Scenic sites, great ranger programs. Need more than 4 days..

Great site with shade! Had a close encounter with some cows! wandering through the campground. That was unexpected! Nice campground, spaces are spread out so you're not in someone else's space. I was there in late April and th weather was very nice, temperature getting up to 90, so already at the edge of comfort. Be sure to fill yor gas tank before you head down here! Gas is available, but pricey.

This was a nice enough area for a one night stay. It was within driving distance of the Boquillas Canyon trail and Hot Springs trails and was also very close to the camp store. I say nice enough because it was pretty crowded and quite a bit of noise (generator and music playing) going into the evening.

#35 site is too tight for our trailer to back in.

Ranger Tess was my favorite personality on my winter van trip.

Upsides: good campground, close to Boquillas Canyon and the Hot Springs. The camping lots are spacious and contain a bearproof box and a grill.
Downside: hours. 8am - 8pm quiet hours, too early if you wanna have dinner outside later and showers close at 6pm.

The campground was clean and quiet. Bathrooms were very clean. The laundromat was out of order and showers are closed. The gas station ran out of gasoline for two days while we were there. You should bring everything you need for a trip here, and don't come with your gas tank on empty. Mid April is really too warm for camping, we spent a lot of time driving around in the air conditioning and playing in the river. Chisos Basin was evacuated and closed for a fire half of the time we were there, so we couldn't even go up in the mountains to cool off. We usually go in Mid March but I couldn't get reservations. I am definitely going to be coming back, but not in April.

We had a relaxing three days at this campground. Lazy days were spent reading under a tree as we waited for the magical sunsets at the top of the nature trail. Make sure to slowly walk back to your site through the inner loop (site 89) to get a picture of the cute little Javelina pack. This trip was relaxing and mesmerizing.

So much to see! And the campground loop we were in was a no generator loop, a real plus!

This is 11th year I've stayed here. First time I've had to make a reservation.
