Great spot, the staff is accomadating - brought towels quickly, lots of beverages and food in store waiting for the heat to die down and night to fall

Mountain View Lodge & Cafe (operated by the nonprofit Mobile Comunidad)
Great place in Davis Mountains / Big Bend
(Full disclosure: I am on the board of nonprofit Mobile Comunidad, which operates the Mountain View Lodge & Cafe)
The Mountain View is a great place to stay while visiting the Davis Mountains / Big Bend region, convenient to McDonald Observatory, Fort Davis National Historic Site, Marfa, Alpine, and further to Big Bend National Park. All proceeds from the lodge and cafe help fund programs such as free lunches for school kids, food pantry food distributions, a bookmobile and more. You will enjoy our hospitality and the cafe serves a great breakfast and the best burgers around.
Our staff will go out of their way to make your visit as enjoyable as possible. Check our reviews on other sites to see how folks like us. Happy trails!

Love Marathon!
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!

Super clean and lowkey
We don’t like being on a schedule so we don’t make reservations prior to leaving home. We have a van that we sleep in so if things don’t work out for a nite, we can use a rest stop. We found Marathon Motel and RV camping on The Dyrt. What a cute place! Surrounded by mountain views and beautiful sunrises and sunsets, night skies that are breathtaking, you really know your deep in the heart of Texas (clap,clap,clap!)

A great little town to launch your adventure into Big Bend , French Grocer is a great place . Nice showers and WiFi here as well as power and water if needed . We stayed in the back and had a quiet evening . Highly recommend for this passing through

Among the stars
Not the sexiest campground but def great enough to stay. They have telescopes for viewing planets and stars set up so folks can pay 10$ and have a look. We stayed to be closer to Big Bend so it does the job in that way.

Breathtaking
Great place to stay on the way to Big Bend. Stop in at White Buffalo Bar - where ranch water was first introduced. Food is great, large portions suggest split plates. Campground has showers. Modern Bathrooms in tent camping area. Night skies are beautiful .

Safe port in a storm!
This park was recommended by another camper as well as seeing it on Dyrt. Super nice staff who actually helped us stay longer due to a dangerous ice storm. Exceptional laundry facilities and a very clean park.

Perfect Spot for a weekend in Marfa
Booked two nights at MYC on a whim, after we cut our stay at Big Bend short, and ended up adding another day we enjoyed it so much. The sites are thoughtfully laid out: even though they're close together, they're staggered so each site has unobstructed views. There are structures at each site for the RVs--would definitely help with the heat in the summer and we loved having the extra space around the camper during a rain storm. The roof does trap the sound of air conditioning, and this could cause some annoyance between neighbors who don't agree on whether it's nice enough to sleep with the windows open.
I didn't get to check out the pool because of the weather, but still enjoyed the quirkiness of a shipping container pool. The laundry/bathroom facilities were not completed but will be a nice additions once they're available.
We traveled into Marfa each day and loved the town. The one downside was the road leading to the MYC--it was gravel and when we were there, suffered from washboarding that really jostled things around in the trailer. More than an annoyance than anything, hope that it's fixed next time we stay!

Dark sky’s!
We stumbled in this place on the way to Austin from big bend. The camp is in a dark sky reserve and had an astral photographer there showing us the telescopes. Pretty unforgettable!

Camping is kind of lame
This place is really cool and in the great town of marfa! We didn’t stay in one of their trailers or cabins but rather booked a camping spot through hipcamp. This turned out to be just a camp anywhere you want in the parking lot situation which was a little disappointing. Bathrooms are open air and outside as welll, so be advised if you are visiting in the winter.

A little loud, but magical
Before I begin this review, you must understand that it is not like what it once was. It is a busy resort campground with a cult following.
The safari tents are comfortable and spacious. Perfect for basecamp. They definitely arent cheap, but they are definitely worth every penny. The host was very nice and hospitable.
We went in March, arrived after dark, and departed very, very early. It snowed in the morning, so be ready for any extreme weather surprises in the desert!

We camped here for three nights. Great spot, deer came through csmp every evening. We watched the horses in the pasture. Staff was very friendly. Close to Fort Davis, McDonald Observatory. Not far from Balmorhea, Marfa.

Great tent camping site
Stayed here for the night before heading into Big Bend National Park. Friendly staff . The tent section is away from the RVs and have a private flushing toilet. There is a larger bathroom available with shower. We were able to have a fire in the court yard fireplace , even in the middle of fire season. They have a star gazing facility with large observatory . Hotel rooms are available for $100. Tent sites are $15

Convenient for Big Bend
Gravel parking side by side without much else. The town was very small too. They did allow access to a private shower and wifi if needed. Stars were great!

Super cool place to stay, with great amenities
El Cosmico is a place you have to experience, even if you just stay in your own tent! They have hot tubs, a hammock garden and an amazing gift shop. I enjoyed it, but it is quite pricey if you stay in one of the trailers. I would have been okay just staying in the trailer for one night if I had known camping was an option when I booked :) I will say, the trailer’s outdoor shower was pretty sweet. The trailer was amazingly decorated and had plenty of space for two people!

No one on site you make your reservation and that's the last time you hear a human voice. All facilities are closed so no propane, laundry or showers available. No place to dump your garbage. What do they have? Water and electricity. You give them your credit card info and that's it. Pro: beautiful scenery and shaded spots.

Groovy self camping in the parking lot
I reserved via Hipcamp to “self camp" in the gravel parking lot for $20/night. No hook ups, but generator use is allowed. Campers also have access to the on site facilities which include showers, potable water (not to fill tank), hammocks and grounds.
No shade in the parking lot and very dusty. Actually was there when a dust storm occurred. Unreal! For a quick stopover and to visit Marfa, this was okay. I recommend checking out the Marfa lights viewing area for dry camping. Also check out downtown Marfa and the iconic Hotel Paisano.

Clean campground in a great location
Love Alpine with its street art, food trucks, quaint downtown and history. Hiking up to see the desk on the grounds surrounding the Sul Ross campus is just one fun excursion. Also, the Big Bend Museum and Kokernot Field.
The campground is set on the outskirts of Alpine and has pine trees around it. Unfortunately most sites that I saw don’t have much, if any, shade. That being said, there are lots of plusses for this campground. The staff is great, the site I was in was level and had full hook ups, the campground laundry is excellent and there’s also a community recreation room.
Good rates for a nice stopover in a great location in Big Bend country with a pet park, gift shop, pool/playground and cabins.

Out of this world amazing!
It’s right next to town (I biked in and out of Marfa). There are so many options to choose from for accommodations, or just pay very little and bring your own tent! They have showers, a kitchen, lounge area, and fast WiFi!
