Summary

Rio Grande Village campground in Big Bend, TX, offers a lovely and peaceful camping experience with well-maintained facilities, clean bathrooms, and a charming natural setting filled with wildlife such as donkeys and javelinas. While the heat can be intense during summer months, the campground provides great access to nearby hiking trails and stunning views of the night sky. Overall, visitors appreciate the serene atmosphere, helpful staff, and the beauty of the surrounding landscape, making it a desirable destination for nature lovers.
The campground itself was good and bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The site itself was overgrown with sticker bushes and trees and dead tree branches that overhung the drive and made it difficult to get around the car when unloading gear. When the campground host came by we commented on the issue and was told they couldn’t trim unless okayed by some higher up in an office somewhere. Not only is this inconvenient for the camper but also a fire hazard with all the dead brush around.
Rio Grande Village is a very nice campground. The only issue I have is that, although we had a site in the non-generator section, we were right next to several generator sites. The non-generator sites aren’t in their own section, they are arranged in a loop outside of the generator loop, so you are next to them. Very noisy if it’s hot because they need to run generators for air conditioning.
Arrived to find out that our RV would not fit under tree branches at Site 41, no matter how hard we tried. Host Brian was especially helpful in finding a more suitable site.
A great campground in one of the most remote areas in the US. There is a fabulous trail off the campground which takes you up to a lookout view of the Rio Grande. There is a small Mexican town nearby where you can take a "ferry" (flat bottom fishing boat) across the river to visit. It's all legal and operates for the US citizens wanting to visit the town. The campground is nicely kept but be careful when selecting your site, especially on the non-generator side. Look at the photos so that you choose a site which will be adequate for the height of your rig. Those tree limbs are not flexible. The only downside is that the laundry facility is very meager (two small washers and two dryers) and the showers cost $2 for every 5 minutes and take about 3 minutes before any hot water starts flowing. Just go ahead and put $6 in before you get in the shower. The bathrooms could have been a lot cleaner.
Todo esuvo muy bien, quiero agradecer a las personas que me orientaron y ayudaron en el Panther Junction Visitor Center, fueron muy amables y muy atentos en resolver mis dudas.
Nice sites. Be aware irrigation may flood part of your site for a day or two. Nice convenience store. Pay showers $2 for 5 minutes. So much to do and explore in this park.
The tent site I was assigned (#51) there was no privacy and I was surrounded by motorhomes & truck campers. It would be nice to have tent campers have their own area.
