Mike Lavoie
People are friendly nice campground quiet during the day . At night or early in the morning it can get busy at times busy with the border patrol on the Rio Grande chasing migrants coming into the us

We love, love, LOVE Chimney Park! We go down to visit my grandpa who winters in the park. It's a clean facility with lots of things to do! They have an awesome heated pool and hot tub that is well maintained. We enjoyed some gorgeous sunsets over the Rio Grande River. It's fun to be able to look right into Mexico. The border patrol use the boat ramp to put their boats in and out, so you'll see them often, but they are very friendly. Although it's right on the river, the park feels very safe. (Especially with the border patrol's presence.) The whole park is well maintained, and the chimney adds to the charm of the place. 10/10
