Really great spot to camp. Good hikes around the area. If you want to go across the border it is closed on certain days of the week, so check ahead. Any of the spots that are popular like the hot springs or the Chisos Basin you should go early or later in the afternoon. Chisos can get so busy you will need to wait at the bottom of the hill for a parking spot.

Great place! Loved it, ready to go back. Stayed at Rio Grande Village Campground. The only negative was there is no connectivity. Except at the little store. They should invest in a wifi etender for the campground. If there was an emergency you are sol.

Read the description of your spot. I didnt notice my reservation said rv's over 12' not recommended. Fortunately the trees were trimmed back and my 14' tall camper could fit in the space. Whew! There are better spaces for tall rvs with no trees. That said, our space was private and shaded and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Loved the campground and the lovely lady hosting. Had fun in Mexico, and highly recommend the hot springs. My only complaint was the camping neighbors who were drunk and loud.

Staying at the Rio Grande Village was a priceless experience for my family and I. We stayed at campsite 11 which was close to the restrooms and the beautiful nature trail. One of our mornings we hiked to the top of the peak near the trail and watched the sunrise and shine on the Chisos mountains. At first I was bummed I was unable to snag us a site in the Chisos, but the ambiance, the kind park rangers, amazing views, and so many other things made me so content and happy that I booked the RGV! 10/10 recommend!

Very nice campground, the camp hosts, a couple, were delightful, wish I could remember their names. The bathrooms were clean, and the campsites as well, with a large metal box for food, and what not, so that the critters stay away. It is close to the general store, and gas pumps, and the store has showers, $2.00 for 5 min. nice hot water after a bit. If you need cell service you get it at the general store.

Great night skies! Never saw any javelinas but did see plenty of coyotes. Highly recommend the Boquillas crossing into Mexico. Just a neat experience. The road to the hot springs is rough but also worth the trip!

Incredible! I thought I knew what we were getting into and I was blown away. The park rangers were so awesome and helpful. I can’t wait to go back. Boquilla Canyon trail was so serene and the hike was easy. We ended our trip with a visit to the hot springs it was a perfect way to wrap up our stay.
