Best Campgrounds near Alpine, TX

We camped here to visit Big Bend NP, 70 miles away. We had a nice visit, Marathon was in process of a bit of a revival so I'd be interested how it ends up. We stop at the White Buffalo bar in the gage hotel, good time. The park itself was well maintained and they have outdoor showers, kinda nice.

Great spot, $40 full Hookups or dry for $15. Showers, evening stargazing program and several telescopes

It's a gravel parking lot on the side of the highway. My worst rv park in 2 years that I've been doing it full time.

Stayed for one night on our way to big bend NP. Has showers, full hookups, nice little park and town.

Don't like being right on the highway.

We were looking for a place to spend the night , fill our water and dump our tanks . This place was perfect , water and electric at the site and dump station too. It was quiet and cheap , $32 a night

While bikepacking drift boss, I set a camp here. Since there was just one other visitor in a camper trailer, no reservation was required. Tent camping was rather basic at each location, which offered water and electricity but no other facilities. A few minutes after we got there, the proprietors pulled up to take the$10 camping charge. We believed the price to be reasonable. There are no restrooms, so pick your bush carefully and remove all of your waste. Here, we enjoyed fantastic views of the sunrise and sunset. The setting, which is essentially a Prada storefront in the middle of the desert, is extremely close to the well-known Marfa Prada art display.

Historic Prude Ranch is a unique camping destination with a friendly atmosphere and plenty of activities retro bowl. Visitors enjoy the beautiful scenery, wildlife, and horseback riding opportunities!

Lousy and noisy.

Definitely noisy and unpleasant. Not recommended.

Just a dirt parking lot on the side of a busy and noisy highway. Worst rv park I ever stayed at.

The area around Elephant Mountain is beautiful and the mountain itself is a huge bluff sticking up out of the otherwise flat landscape.  The campsites are basic with a vault toilet in a little shack.  It was adequate for what I needed... just an overnight. But it's very hard to tell if a permit is needed.  Dyrt says Yes, and the info at the entrance says yes, but there's no indication how to get one.  I did not have a permit and nothing happened, but I was a bit paranoid. I'd say the landscape is the best part of this campsite.

Davis Mountain Resort is a private residential area. Campsite rentals are not allowed or available.

There was no problem finding this campground(CG) as it is right off I-10 adjacent to a Valero gas station. We had paid online, and per the emailed instructions, we went and chose an empty site. After driving through and looking at sites that didn’t have trees that would interfere with our slide-outs, we went into pull-through site 29 with FHUs. As we were only staying overnight, we did not use water and sewer. The CG’s sites are all pull-throughs with FHUs. About 1/4 of the sites are transient workers or full-timers. When we were here towards the end of January, there were plenty of sites to choose from. Our site was plenty long enough for our 40’ 5th wheel and F450. This is a basic CG with no internet, but they have a laundry room on the back of the Saddleback Steakhouse and Bar that has seen better days. There’s also an unmanned office with instructions and a drop box for campers without a reservation. There were plenty of sites that have clear shots to the sky for satellite. We got 3 bars on Verizon. We should have used our sound machine as there’s a lot of road noise from I-10. There’s no formal dog park, but there is plenty of room to walk your dog. Other than the price, one of the reasons we stayed here was the raving reviews by other campers on the Saddleback Steakhouse and Saloon, especially their ribeyes. Boy, were we disappointed. We were expecting a big Texas-style steak. The steak was maybe 1/4 inch thick, and the hand-cut fries were greasy. This may be the only place in the US that still allows smoking inside. They live by their own rules here. On the bright side, this dive-type bar was interesting and somewhat entertaining depending on your views as this establishment is clearly pro-Trump and anti-Biden.

Kind lady took our reservation over the phone. Clean place. The hookups looked fairly new. New plantings around. A bit of traffic noise but almost no traffic.

Neat and clean. The reservation was taken by a kind lady offsite. Easy directions to the site. Nice off leash dog park. All the hookups seemed new. There is occasional road noise but very little traffic.

The picnic table was rotted and unusable. Many occupied sites had junk laying around. On the bright side, the sites were. Shaded by big trees. This was shielded from road noise by buildings and fences.

Every picture tells a story, don't it.

We loved staying at Marathon Motel! We will be back for sure. Such a neat hidden gem. The courtyard is beautiful and they let the guests start the fireplace and bonfires at will. The lights at night are so cool and makes the experience feel very special. The moon was too bright for their “star parties” when we were there unfortunately, but those sound super fun to go to. Perhaps the coolest thing we enjoyed was using their new private outdoor showers where you can look up and stargaze while soaking in warm water getting all clean. Truly a unique experience for the books. We will definitely be back!
