Summary: Shade, water, clean bathrooms at the site, and wifi & laundry nearby. Bugs, thorns, and heat, as you would expect.

We stayed here two nights while exploring Big Bend. Being April, it was very hot in the afternoon. This site had decent shade from the (extremely thorny, as almost all the plants here are) bushes as well as a well built sun shelter. These shelters are essential as you should stay under them between 10am-5pm. We were able to hang our Hammocks and remain mostly in the shade. The bugs near the river are worse than other parts of the Park, but I still only got a few bites. The Village Store at the RV campground has WiFi, laundry, and showers (showers currently closed for Covid) and is only about half a mile from the campground. The bathrooms are the standard Park Service, and were clean. The wifi was important for us as we lost a tire on the Old Ore Road and used wifi to organize repairs. A nature trail leaves from the campground and leads to wonderful views of the Rio Grande and back to the Chisos. There were a number of the technically illegal souvenir shops from across the river set up along the trail. It goes through a swap and to the top of a bluff. All in all a very nice campsite.
