We loved tent camping at rio grande village. We saw lots of donkeys, horses, cows and javelinas. Theres a great 360 view and a walk to the rio grande from the campground on a nature trail. Personally I like showering while camping so I was very happy that the showers are close by at the camp store. You do need $2 in quarters for each shower and they sometimes take awhile to get hot.

One of the best parks to visit.

The sites were amazing, saw so much wild life in the camp ground and the sink for dishes in the restroom building was amazing!!! showers were nice. definitely try the rio grande nature trail and the river trail that branches off of it!

Incredible! I thought I knew what we were getting into and I was blown away. The park rangers were so awesome and helpful. I cant wait to go back. Boquilla Canyon trail was so serene and the hike was easy. We ended our trip with a visit to the hot springs it was a perfect way to wrap up our stay.

Big Bend is stunning. I cannot say enough about the quality of the trails. Get out there and run.

Visitor center was nice and clean and the front desk was very helpful. The campsites and areas to see were exceptional and very beautiful. Thank you.

Appreciated that the host families/park rangers are always present in the campground. They post current conditions on the board next to the restroom. They have recycling trashcan bins and areas to wash dishes near the restrooms. If you have a 4X4 vehicle Ernst Tinaja Trail is amazing. Make sure you go to some ranger led talks too.

Great Visit! First night stargazing with 8 telescope I brought. Last night set up scope in Rio Grande village campground and 20-25 neighbor campers dropped by for a look. Great fun sharing! Saw Orion Nebula, Jupiter, Andromeda Galaxy and much more. Quick trip to Boquillas Mexico was fun. Various hikes and 4 wheel unpaved roads were a treat!

Remote sites (Hannold Draw, Grapevine Road) were beautiful. Rio Grande Village campground was great, with wonderful campground hosts!

showers at the camp store need to be warmer. Slop sink at restrooms need to have more pressure and larger sink.

Nice camping host. They tell you the place history. They was wonderful.
There is Javelinas, cows, northern cardinal bird…on the campground.
Great section with no Generator quiet at night.

The sunset hike on the nature trail is a must.....very pretty with sun on Rio Grande and flora.

Really enjoyed the location because of the proximity to a beautiful view and to a village store. The campsite we had felt private with the brush surrounding and pretty spacious - enough room for two tents. The bathroom was relatively clean. Camp rangers were very helpful giving us a jump start when we had trouble with the car battery. We would definitely recommend staying at this camp site and will come back another time!

Great 2 days! The earlier in the am to walk short trails is the way to go! Great tent sites and very pleasant and informative staff. Longer stay next time!!

Great campsite!! We were a bit close to the road during the day, although this wasn't a problem for us, as we didn't spend much of the day here.
We woke up before dawn to see the stars. Gorgeous!! We saw the Milky Way and many of the dimmer stars that you can't see, except in very dark skies. This was the best accommodations of our whole trip.
