Amazing campsite with the most friendly camp hosts. Unique in that Wildlife frequent the area, from cows, horses, donkeys and Javelina. Showers could use some upgrades, but otherwise excellent!

Wonderful five days even though extremely, unseasonably warm. Beautiful campground though at the southern end of the park, we were still able to cover the whole park, visiting the majority of the sites and hiking many of the trails. The only problem is the abundance of livestock, crossing the river from Mexico to graze the campground and deposit an ABUNDANCE of droppings. If it wasnt for the absolutely wonderful camp hosts who daily (sometimes twice a day) voluntarily (not in their job description) muck out the campground of cow, horse, javalina and donkey dung. If they didnt there would be no place to pitch a tent. Almost like being in a stockyard.

I loved the location of the campground. The hosts were kind and the area clean. I understand nature but wish the cow potties could be removed. Finding a clear area to pitch the tent was challenging and the toddler was not able to run and okay freely. On our last night the cows got rambunctious and it was a bit scary. However staff was on top of the incident and quickly handled it.

Loved the stars, how remote it was and the unexpected and delightful side trip to Mexico! Don't miss the hot springs.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the Rio Grande campground.

Emory peak was tremendous! loads of switchbacks but the view is super worth it!
Took our group about 4.5 hours to make it to the peak and about 3.5 to come back down.
Life changing!

Beautiful sites. It was very hot but cooled off a little at night. We saw javelinas in the campground every night so be sure to use the bear locker.

Great location to explore Big Bend.

Rio Grande Village was great! Access to water and gas, as well as a nice collection of souvenirs and essentials at the general store. I found the trails on this section of the park to be much easier and not as diverse. As a heads up, the Hot Springs trail is closed due to COVID, as is the Boquillas border crossing
