Rio Grande Village (Big Bend, TX)
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
The Rio Grande Village Campground sits near the banks of the Rio Grande, the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. It is one of the most popular campgrounds in Big Bend National Park, especially for those traveling in large recreational vehicles. It is located close to Boquillas Canyon and Hot Springs, and serves as a launch point for visitors accessing the river or the endless miles of backcountry roads. Rio Grande Village has an outstanding view of the Sierra del Carmen Mountains, located in Mexico to the east, which light up with hues of red and orange during sunset. The river offers ample opportunities to explore its shores and water, and the river put-in allows easy access to canoeing and kayaking. Birders flock to the river banks to spot rare and unique species often found only in Big Bend. Day hike trails are also found nearby, and many backcountry roads are located near the campground. This fairly large campground has 100 campsites ranging in size from small tent sites to large pull-through sites that can fit a 40-ft. (12 m) motor home. Look carefully at each campsite description, as low hanging branches persist in the campground and not all sites are suitable for tall or long RVs and trailers. All campsites are reservable, some six months in advance, some two weeks in advance; there is no first-come, first served camping. There are no hookups, but each site offers a picnic table, charcoal grill and bear-proof food storage locker, and some are furnished with picnic shelters for shade. Generators are permitted in some sites during designated generator hours (8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.). All campsites are within easy walking distance of water spigots, flush toilets and utility sinks, and a fill/dump station is provided at the campground's entrance. Showers and laundry facilities can be found at the Rio Grande Village Store just outside the entrance. The mountain views, proximity to Mexico, the Rio, and shade from the surrounding cottonwood trees make Rio Grande Village irresistible to visitors. The campground is at an elevation of 1,850 ft. During the winter season (November through March) temperatures are warm and pleasant with daily highs in the mid-70s to low 80s. From April through September, this campground is extremely HOT, with daily highs exceeding 100-107 degrees — be prepared for the weather. Rio Grande Village is located near the Boquillas Canyon trail, the Boquillas Port of Entry, the Marufo Vega Loop trail, the Hot Springs and Hot Springs Historic District, and Daniels Ranch. It is 20 miles (32 km) from the Panther Junction Visitor Center.
