Rio Grande Village serves as a base for many activities. Crossing the river to Boquillas is fun and interesting. The town is very modest and friendly. Cabrito tacos at Jose Falcons were delicious! The boardwalk on the river is very beautiful at sunset.

Loved our stay in Rio Grande Village. The spots were just spread out enough that it didnt feel too crowded, but just close enough to give a good community feel. Bathrooms were well kept. We saw several animals and wildlife at our site. Cant wait to come back.

This is a great site for large RVs if you don't need your generator

Site itself is fine. Bathrooms small. Shower house is not located in campground, but at Rio Grande store. Only 3 showers for all the campground. $2.00 for 5 min. We did visit Boquillas! Very easy, we actually crossed the rio grande on foot and walked to town. Make sure to bring passport.Spent one day hiking Lost Mine Trail..very steep, great views and hike. Then we drove to Santa Elena Canyon and area. Another fun hike! Highly recommend!

Great location for Rio Grande hikes. The showers at the village are $2 in quarters with NO machine available. Can purchase during store hours, but not after hours. There were lots of cows seen, coyotes howling, some roadrunners moving around and javelinas seen in the campsite alone!

So nice to be away from cellphone and data coverage. Always meet others who truly love the NPS experience at Big Bend.

Big Bend was an amazing experience. I wish they would reopen all of the closed sites because even if those sites were open you could maintain a social distance.

Nice campsite! No hookups but spacious site. Water was available and there were nice restrooms with running water. Lots of mesquite trees with thorns on the ground so beware! Local Javalina wandering the camp in the morning.

Very nice campground. We definitely enjoyed the nature trail and watching the sunset from the hill on the trail.
The campground host were very friendly and helpful.
We were disappointed that the hot springs were not open this time.

Great campground, especially the no generator zone.

It was a nice little spot. It had easy access to the restrooms and Rio Grande Village Nature Trail was right next to it. I highly recommend this location.
