The park is great. Enjoyed the night sky and quietness every night. The burros and javelinas in camp are fun to see. The end of April starts getting a little warm. Recommend a little earlier in the season. The border crossing is only open on certain days youll have to check with the Rangers.

The wind was really bad when we were there. Not sure if it like that all the time, but the tent pads could not hold stakes and I had to tie our tent to the car, brick column, and picnic table to keep it from blowing away. My friend felt all the gravel through her sleeping pad. The only plus was that the store location was convenient and the bathrooms were well-maintained.

Nice campground, friendly camp hosts, great nature trail with a perfect spot for sunrise/sunset. Coyotes are a bit of a nuisance, but that starry sky can't be beat.

Cars coming, going and circulating all hours of the night. Cant hang outside for 30 seconds without being blinded by headlights. Multiple campsites with loud noises and bright lights. Camp host does nothing there. Main bathroom building was closed off during busiest week of the year. One of the worst campsite experiences.

We stayed in camp site 5 with a 35 foot fifth wheel. Site was level. Restrooms clean. Showers, gasoline & a small store are near by. Would definitely again.

VERY nice campground . Hostess was a little short with me when I asked about our camp number . Internet says 005 . Actual sight says 05 . Sight placard marked 5 . Some large camps use zeros to identify different loops . Everyone not familiar with your setup .

The hosts were very friendly. The camp ground was well maintained and the bathroom s were clean. I liked that the showers were in that village however even though it was great to take a shower it was hit and miss howling you waited. There are only three showers in each the male and female restrooms and they didn't all work at one time. All in all I did have a comfortable stay for the full 5 nights.

Nice campground, with trees! Especially enjoyed the easy access to the nature trail which not only enabled wildlife viewing, but had a beautiful 360 degree of the area in and around the east end of the park. Site #5 was not very private, but we could use our generator. The sites that don't allow generators are more private (at least the ones we saw close to the nature trail access).

Loved Big Bend! I stayed at the Rio Grande Campground and it was about 1/4 full, I guess because of COVID. It was very clean and very quite. Absolutely no cell signal(Verizon) in the campground. The park is huge! Drove 65 miles to Santa Elena Canyon on the other side of the park. There is a gas station half way at Panther Junction and it is not cheap!!! I would stay again someday.

Rio Grande Village Campground is a mostly no-hookup campground in a good location to see the hot springs and Boquillas Canyon. You don't go to this campground for the amenities but some of the sites have shade, the camp hosts are nice, and the park is wonderful (at least in the winter when we went).
