On the Rio Grande

This small campground with 4 sites is a fairly Spartan accommodation. An asphalt lot divided by highway guardrails, each small site having a fire pit grill and picnic table. Nice if you are primarily interested in some place to park your RV while you go canoeing or kayaking. There are composting toilets and a trash bin. None of the sites are pull through but could accommodate a fairly large RV, on flat ground with an easy approach.
