We had a great stay for the week between Christmas and New Years! Facilities were clean and well maintained. We had one night of crazy wind and the campground manager was great about getting around to each site and letting everyone know to be prepared. We would highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful spot in the eastern side of the park near Hot Springs and Boquillas (both are must-see attractions)

Great campground!
Only negative is that this spot (site 046, loop 1) is right in front of a “polluted water” (sewage) enclosure, which was rather aromatic.

Nice national park campground. Much advised to stay on the edges in the tree lined sites. The middle open sites lack privacy.

It was a good campsite. But it's too far away from everything in the park. Since it's a 1-2 hour drive from everything, you have to wake up extra early to have enough daylight for your adventure. And forget about going back to camp intil your ready to eat dinner and fall asleep.
