About River Hill

River Hill is a popular campground on the banks of the Rio Grande River. Situated in a meadow surrounded by willows, campers come here to fish for trout, hunt and take in the beautiful views of the forested hills and rock bluffs. River kayaking and fishing are also popular activities, and the Rio Grande Reservoir is just a couple miles away.

What Guests Are Saying

River Hill is a beautiful and well-maintained campground, praised for its stunning scenery and friendly hosts, Edie and Felix, who go above and beyond for guests. The facilities, including bathrooms, are consistently clean and well-cared for, making for a pleasant camping experience. While the access road has some washboards and there was an issue with fresh water pumps, these concerns do not overshadow the campground's overall appeal, and many visitors look forward to returning.

This campground is relatively small, but is ideally located right on the bank of the Rio Grande River. You can walk a few steps out of your campsite and fish in the river, or drive a short distance to fish in two lakes nearby.

The campground hosts are very friendly and helpful, fostering a family-like feeling throughout the campground. Restrooms are very clean, and the entire campground is kept extremely well maintained.

My only regret is that this campground is around five hours’ drive from my home! It was such a nice place that we plan to return again as soon as we can.

Edie and her husband do an excellent job maintaining the campground. Very personable and always helpful. One of my favorite camping places, made more special by Edie.

We had planned originally to only stay at River Hill for 3 days, but after being there, we cancelled all of our other reservations and ended up staying 10 days. The site is absolutely beautiful - right on the Rio Grande River. There are great hiking trails right near the campground and there really is not a bad site there. The hosts, Edie and Felix, were absolutely wonderful! They worked extremely hard to keep the campground clean and in beautiful shape. They are constantly working on improving the grounds and enhancing everyone's experience. If I could give this site 10 stars, I would! We will definitely be back! We came all the way from Maine!

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Your reservation will be held until check-out time the day after your arrival. If not occupied, it will be forfeited without a refund.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
