The campground was great, but the store nearby the Rio Grande Village was having water problems, then the septic went down so no one could empty tanks. Trails were good, though hot springs could have been closed further down near the parking lot. The park over all was incredible and a definite for anyones bucket list for national parks. Camp hosts were terrific as were rangers in the visitor centers.

So fun in this campground with lots to do and animals in and nearby the park. Its no wonder why it was hard to find a good tent camping spot!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Rio Grande Village camping, which is very closely located to some very nice trails such as the hot spring trail. Because of the heat, we were the only ones out camping. The temperature in the evenings and mornings were very pleasant and we had a great time chatting with staff members that checked on us. Todd was very helpful and recommended us a great site to stay at. During our stay we were surrounded by lots of wildlife which we loved. Overall this has been one of the best experiences that we had visiting a national park! We would highly recommend this campsite to anyone.

This was a great location! We were close to the nature trail hike. It was amazing to watch the sunset. We were also just down the street from the restrooms. The whole campground was beautiful but our spot #79 had a huge tree for shade!

Campground is at the west end of the park so getting to either of the other sites is about 45 minutes, but road is nice and scenery is great.

Very nice campground. Clean bathroom facilities. I was a little disappointed that we had to pay $2 for a 5 minute shower.

Fantastic sunset from the top of the nature trail. Our visit to Boquillas was truly memorable. The campground was parking lot camping at its best.

Me and my group had a great time! We hiked the nature trail that comes out of the campground several times and the overlook at sunset is beautiful. The grounds were very clean and well kept and we had no issues. We will be back!
