We have 24 RV spots at our site. At an altitude of 5,050 feet, Fort Davis is the highest town in Texas. What does that mean? Cooler temperatures with our yearly average being 72 degrees, mountain scenery and breathtaking, beautiful starry skies. The Fort Davis area offers nine different restaurants, all with their own uniqueness. There are two grocery stores and a liquor store less than two miles from the RV Park. Want to take your family out in nature or to learn about Fort Davis, Texas history? We have that too. Some of the tourist attractions are places like the the National Historic site that not only holds history but hiking trails as well. The Davis Mountains State Park is about two miles from the RV Park and programs are hosted every week plus it has more hiking, from beginner trails to advanced. McDonald's Observatory is nearby and has many family oriented program options available, which include Star Parties, and kid-friendly activities daily. Star parties at the Observatory are Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Check out the Observatory's website(mcdonaldobservatory.org) or call (432) 426-3640.

Awesome free camping. No cell service.
Stayed for one night on our way to big bend NP. Has showers, full hookups, nice little park and town.
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.
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

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.
Lovely RV Park and Motel. Clean and well kept facilities. Iconic location of several scenes from Paris, Texas.
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
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.
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.
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.
(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!
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!
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.
We actually stayed here for a week, part of relocating from Texas over to the desert for the winter.
The Pros:
• Easy in and out. You can actually just go right to the back of the gas station there and cut left, big entrance area, though going to the right of the Saloon and restaurant does put you going the right way for....
• Large, long spots. Now, some have a cone in them, I'd guess some problem with one of the three hookups, but I don't know. Some of them are also overgrown.
• Plenty of room, really. This isn't a place people stay for long, being next to the highway, I would guess. So when you're trying to "reserve" a spot on the phone, it'll pretty much be "just come on".
• During our stay we had reliable power and water, no issues. Decent water pressure as well. We did hit some freezing overnights so I just filled the tanks and we ran off that until we left. I didn't actually hook up to the sewer at all.
• The onsite bar and restaurant isn't bad.
The Cons:
• Not really a problem for me, but you ARE next to a truck stop and a highway, but honestly, I didn't hear them really at all during the night unless I was listening for it.
• There was someone with loose dogs. As a former traveling-with-dog RVer, that annoys me to a VERY great deal. I don't know your dog, mine always seemed to get attacked. Keep your dog on a leash, please.
• Again, not a problem for me, but the bar/restaurant is very right wing Republican. F*** Biden flags, Trump Won, etc. Just warning you. The patrons and staff didn't say or do anything untoward, but if this kind of stuff bothers you and you're easily offended, just be aware.
• It took me second time to realize that my chicken fried steak wasn't just awesomely tender, but rather I'm pretty sure it was hamburger. The batter and gravy was good, really, all the food was good. (Though we did feel a little ripped off at 5 or 6 small onion rings for $6.99.) There is a great Mexican restaurant in town (as much as there is any town to Balmorhea), too, be sure to check hours and such. It's called La Cueva de Oso.
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!)
The owner is a crabby old guy. If I had this rv park that’s nothing more than a pile of sand on the side of the road, I’d probably be crabby too.
Lots of road noise, goatheads and sand. I won't be back.
Its a big sandy parking lot on the side of the highway with nothing at all, not even a picnic table.
We stayed here two nights while we swam in balmorhea. We pulled in late at night and we just placed $20 in the office , picked a spot and slept. The next day we swam all day and returned to a different spot. Same easy process, leave $20 in the office with your spit number. All spots are open and have full hook ups. Some are overgrown with weeds and the water isn’t accessible so choose wisely. Gravel and level spots, next to a gas station and diner.
