Rio Grande Village Campground

Located at 562 meters elevation within Big Bend National Park, Rio Grande Village Campground extends along the banks of the Rio Grande River bordering Mexico.

The establishment of this campground followed the creation of Big Bend National Park in 1944, providing access to areas previously used by indigenous communities.

The campground serves as a meeting point between American and Mexican cultures, reflecting centuries of cross-border traditions through shared natural resources.

The campground includes designated tent sites, RV spaces, restrooms, showers, and bear-proof storage lockers, with reservations required through recreation.gov website.

This location permits direct observation of desert wildlife, including numerous bird species, while offering unobstructed views of both Chisos Mountains and Mexican Sierra del Carmen.
