This was a wonderful stay. We had site 27 and it was perfect in terms of size (6-person dome tent used for two of us), and felt very private. The sites in the central part of the campground were very exposed, each with shade shelter and picnic table, whereas ours had no shelter but had plenty of tree cover. I would not have enjoyed camping in the central part of the campground since there is no privacy whatsoever. Visitors should note that apparently regardless of forecast winds can pick up very strongly at random. We had a very windy night where steady windspeed was clocked at around 30mph not including gusts. Several tents in the central area of the campground did not survive this wind. Bathrooms were clean. The entire campground seemed to abide by the quiet hours rules (more or less). And the hosts were very present and friendly. Javelinas, cows, coyotes, and roadrunners were aplenty, including a few of these crossing right through our site. We managed to see all three primary areas of the park with four nights camping. I only wish we'd had a chance to hike the Lost Mine Trail. Next time.December, it turns out, is a perfect time to visit Big Bend. The trek across the river to Boquillas was worth it only because of the 'experience'. My daughter and I developed a mock-marketing plan for the locals afterwards, because they seem so desperate to sell the exact same thing at each of their vendor tables. They'd do better if each vendor had just one unique type of item. They were all very nice, but it's still a surreal experience. It almost felt like we were walking through a village in Afghanistan. And remember your passport!If you do visit the village, note that they really want you to accept a tour guide who works for tips, and will offer to let you ride a horse, mule, or in a truck. The walk is easy, so unless you're desperate for an expensive short ride on a hooved animal, just walk it. There was something about walking into Mexico that we liked.

Campground is well-designed. Don't feel crowded. Very clean

This site (27) is listed as a VERY narrow site. Our 24Lx10Hx8W trailer had plenty of room. And room for our pickup too. Its close to but not right next to bathroom and water source. Lots of shade if you are absolutely dependent on solar. Camp host was very amenable. Lovely site!

Close to off road trails like old ore and River road. Walking distance to the store, showers, and laundry. Close popular attractions like the hot springs and boquillas canyon, Earnst Tinjaja and is the best place to catch a big bend sunset from the Rio grande village nature trail!! One of our favorite places to camp!!

The Rio Grande campground. We had a shaded site and that made all the difference. Hiked both the Santa Elena Canyon and Window trails. Enjoyed them both. We were there in mid April and the cacti were blooming. It was very hot however.
