    Davis Mountain RV Park

    Gravel and Disappointment

    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.

    Madera Canyon Roadside Park Dispersed

    perfect for getaway

    super quiet. right off the highway, but very little traffic. pretty level spots. i take my converted cargo trailer often.  the hike is an easy one with small children and gives visitors a taste of the actual landscape of Jeff Davis mountains, TX

    Madera Canyon Roadside Park Dispersed

    Nice roadside park with hiking trail

    4 or 5 sites nicely spread out with picnic tables and garbage cans at each site, there are no restrooms or water, Madera Canyon trailhead starts from a small parking area near one end of the park and is a 2 mile loop trail with nice views, the trail information board says overnight parking is allowed at the picnic sites but not in the trail parking area, it does not specify how many nights, we stayed 2 nights in a class c with a tow vehicle, it was peaceful and the trail was a great hike. We had no Verizon service here.

    Few amenities, nice views

    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.

    Teepee is nice and host is accomadating

    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

    Davis Mountain RV Park

    Not even a picnic table to sit at.

    The guy that owns the place is not a nice guy and the place is very noisy, dusty and absolutely nothing at all here. Not even a picnic table to sit at.

    Permit? or No Permit?

    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.

    Saddleback Mountain RV Park

    Worked for an Overnighter

    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.

    Davis Mountain RV Park

    Clean and nice

    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.

    Nice place

    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.

    Fort Davis Inn & RV Park

    Unkept and in disrepair

    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.

    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!

    Davis Mountains State Park Campground

    My Best Camping Experience Ever!!!

    Davis Mpuntains is truly amazing. A great blend of high desert mountains, endless night skies, and incredibly friendly people. I stayed in a tent site (#69) on the end of the loop, as I thought the park would be crowded. But, to my surprise, in early March, it was not! There are sites with full hookups, hot showers, many many hiking trails, and even free Wi-Fi at the headquarters/park entrance! There is little to no cell signal (Verizon) anywhere in the park, except along the Skyline Drive, so be prepared with a booster, or, for a great escape! Excellent park :).

    Tent sites are $15 a night, and, if you are a TX parks pass holder, you get half off your second night, and free admission to the park (admission is also charged in addition to camping fee if not a pass holder).

    Tumble In RV Park

    Just okay.

    For this part of the world, plopping down in a patch of desert next to a railroad is acceptable, but rustic. Yes, all the amenities are here (FHUs), shower, and bathhouse. They could clean up the grounds a lot, but can't do much about the trains. Good for a night. Hard to find the entrance in the dark.
