Cooler temperatures with our yearly average being 72 degrees, mountain scenery and breathtaking, beautiful starry skies.

Want to take your family out in nature or to learn about Fort Davis, Texas history? We have that too.

Best little RV park in Texas with all of your amenities! You receive 10% off with Good Sam discount , bringing your total to $41 per night for a 30 foot class C motorhome 1 per night. Also the most friendliest office lady, that offered us fresh eggs and gave us a little goodie bag.

This is a historic ranch down the road from Fort Davis. The ranch serves as a summer camp for kids and groups and we did arrive in Nov so it was like having the place to ourselves (not sure how it would be with lots of kids around!). There are two locations for RV parking; front and rear. We stayed in the rear, but would pick the front next time. The rear was private, but the front seemed to have less building obstacles for night sky and sun setting viewing. The road is not active at all it seems ... very much off the beaten path.
Our spot was a back in and did require leveling, but had full hook ups. There is no set dog park area (not a big deal!). The horse corrals and horses were a great site to see. The buildings could use a fresh coat of paint and the landscaping could use a few flowers and decorative improvements, but we were not there for the RV spots, but for a short stay and hiking.
We entered from the north side of town and was a little skeptical, but eventually we arrived and were happily surprised. They do have horse back riding available at all times; however we chose to hike the near by hills in the state park ... be prepared for the walk is on rocky, shale, hills so extra work on the leg muscles but WELL worth it!
The staff is very very welcoming and knowledgeable of local attractions ... There is Fort Davis you can walk through, hiking at Prude Ranch, hiking in the state park, and a 2 - 3 hour drive that has local natural sites you can see from the car.
GuideIf you are from Texas, then you already know the legend that is Prude Ranch. I'm not sure when they added RV spots to the Ranch but you can't imagine how excited I was to find out they had. There are about two dozen spots with full hookup 30/50 in two separate camps (upper and lower). The lower camp sites in a pecan field at the entrance to the ranch while the upper camp sites sit smack dab in the middle of the cabins and stables. This isn't your average RV park. Prude Ranch is known statewide for its summer camp which sees hundreds of kids over 4 to 8 weeks in the summer. The rest of the year, Prude is a working horse ranch and there is plenty to do. My son and I took two, two-hour trail rides with our Wrangler Andy who was a wealth of information. There are a couple other RV parks in the area but honestly, if you dont day here you're really missing out. We camped at the lower site which took a little bit of leveling (6" in the front and 2" passenger). The deer come in at night and you can sit and watch them wander. Town is only 5 miles down the road with grocery open til 8pm and a family dollar for those items you didnt realize you forgot until you got here. If you come, you must ride the trails, its an amazing experience.
GuideThis was a nice clean park that is easy in and out. The owner was very friendly. The pool was very refreshing after driving and setting up. The sites are level but close together. There are several long term people here. This is a nice quiet place to stop in Fort Stockton.

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.
TravelerGreat spot for a no frills campground. They have lots of pull thru spots, full hook ups. No amenities, but look it’s only 20 dollars.

Stayed here for 5 nights on our way from Big Bend NP to Carlsbad Caverns. If you are looking for fancy this is not the place. It is a work in progress. But all the sites are level, pull thru with both 30 and 50 amp service. It is centrally located for all the attractions in the area particularly Fort Davis National Historic Site and McDonald Observatory. They have plans to add bathrooms and a laundry facility. The connections are all new and water pressure is excellent. Cell service is good - TMobile 3 bars 10 down/6 up, Verizon 4 bars 10 down/19 up. Verizon tower is within site of the RV park. They do have wifi available but we did not use it. At only $20 a night for full hookups while they are new you can't beat it. Buster and Pam are great owners. They have been very accommodating.

Marfa, TX is one of those middle of nowhere towns that you NEED to explore, plus it is close to Big Bend National Park so if that is your destination then be sure to check this artsy little town out.
We stayed in this RV park based on the location so we could walk or ride our bikes around town. It's a dusty and dated place but the owners were really nice and relaxed. There are many residents who live here and they were friendly as well. Don’t judge it based on the looks. The owner lives in the house just before the park entrance and we were told by a resident to just go up to the door. The lady told us to just pick an open spot and pay later. There are showers and free laundry on site for the short term visitor so we were able to to a couple loads but let her know in advance so she can arrange a time to unlock the door for you. All the machines were clean and in working order.
Park also has full hook ups. It is quite dusty and while we were out and about a huge dust storm came through and since we had our windows open everything was covered in dust! Overall though we would definitely stay in this park again, it was reasonably priced at $40/FHU/night (cash only!) and the access to town is worth it. We never felt unsafe here. Some car noise but quiets down at night.
Kinda across the street is an excellent burrito shop (cash only). Also in town is art galleries, a distillery, a beer garden, and some great restaurants. The food here was the best we’ve ever had in a small town. Even had vegan tacos at different places. Also note there are mysterious lights called The Marfa Lights that you can drive out about 8 miles east and there is a place specifically for viewing them (you can boondock there as well).
Will stay here again next time we come to Marfa!
GuideWe stayed here for a pit stop overnight and had a good experience. The staff was really nice and waited for us even though we were running late. They have full hook ups but no cable. And it looks like they have a nice pool, although we didn’t get a chance to use it.
GuideWe pulled off I-10 to stay for the night on a cross-country trip. This park is just off the exit and you drive through the gas station entrance to get here, but the park is remarkably quiet and scenic for being in the middle of the desert and right next to the highway. We arrived around 4:30 pm on a Friday and the office wasn't open. They have a dropbox that tells you to find a spot and pay the nightly rate in the dropbox. The restaurant is closed, but if you need anything at the gas station, it is very close. For $20, we have water, sewer, and electricity. The T-Mobile cell service is amazing, but there aren't over-the-air TV channels. The sites are a little close together, but the first half have pretty desert plants between each site. There are clearly some long-term residents, but we felt safe and welcome and would definitely come back as a stopover.
LegendI typically rate campgrounds as they fit into 1 of 5 categories. This campground will be rated as an “along the way” stay — grounds that you seek out for a night or two as a place to simply stay the night along your journey to regroup and get some sleep. Ratings for this category are based on: Cost: 5 Overall grounds: 4 Utility of sites (hookups, level ground, accessibility): 5 Noise: 4 Reservation Process/Ease of Getting a Site: 4 Layout: 4 Customer Service: 5
What they say is true: this is an RV Park on top of a hill. We didn’t have high expectations knowing a Walmart is 2 miles away, but the views were actually quite nice! Staff are so, so friendly and helpful and the overnight stay is $30 (with GoodSam) for full hookups (many spaces are pull thru).
We thought it was really a nice spot to unhitch for the night. Fort Stockton doesn’t have a ton of draw but we were able to run a couple errands, do laundry and wash our tow vehicle in town!
The layout of the park is fairly standard. Gravel spaces, somewhat close together and no privacy in between, but they do have a small patio and picnic table. Hookups were reliable and easy to access.
The pool looked really nice though we didn’t use it. The wifi was very solid, though they ask you don’t use it to stream. The laundry room was pretty clean.
There is some road noise from I-10 as it passes immediately by the campgrounds, but we didn’t find it a nuisance overnight. Their website is pretty primitive so you have to call for reservations but they have a limit on how far out you book... I think it’s 45 days. A good stop as you make your crawl across the massive state of Texas.

This is our first trip into Texas and we came in from Carlsbad. There are several options in Fort Davis and this one was affordable at $30 for full hook ups. Pick your site and the host drops off a nice welcome packet that includes local pecans. Aside from newly planted trees and a dumpster, there’s nothing at the park. It’s a dirt lot, but it serves its purpose. If your looking for fancy or anything above hookups- this is not for you. Minutes from town and the Fort at Fort Davis and a just down the road from the state park for some nice hiking. It’s a cute town with enough to keep you busy for a day or three

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.

March 1,2021. Small RV park off Rt. 118 ten minutes south of Alpine. Self check in. All sites have hook ups, some 30 amp others 50 amp priced accordingly. Sites are very close to each other. No water. Could not find a Women’s bathroom, only Men’s and never saw anyone to ask while I was there. No tent sites or sites w/o hook ups. Rough gravel pull through was level and had a few evergreen trees on one side. WiFi weak and unreliable from my site #13. Verizon cell service one bar and unreliable.
With a little investment this could be a very good campground, but currently, it falls short.
GuideFriendly staff. Clean restrooms and showers. Water and electric. Not the Hillside RV park. Don't confuse the two.
RangerI stayed here for two nights during the Texas snow and deep freeze of Feb. 14 to 16, 2021. It was comfortable to be in the company of so many as the park was packed, RV Parks are not my thing so I left on snow covered roads (no snow plows in TX) and drove 80 miles south. The manager called me a few hours after I left sounding in disbelief and to confirm that I had relinquished my spot. I’m from Maine. We have winter and snow covered roads are normal.
ThIS RV Park has all the amenities of a KOA including friendly service, nice dog walk and play area, clean bathroom, and laundry, and spotless grounds beneath the pines. The end of row sites cost an additional $10, but my dogs enjoyed the bonus of a large, private grassy area and a couple of shade trees offered on site A20.
RangerMy family and I traveled to explore the Davis Mountains and this was the perfect spot! Very well maintained, FULL hook ups, nice views and so close to tons of trails and scenery. We even saw deer a few nights wandering through.
Minutes to cute restaurants in Fort Davis, and a grocery store.
No restrooms or showers, but the owners have plans for them.
Reservations are call in only but Pam and Buster are very responsive. When you arrive you choose your spot and call them and then they text the WiFi password too. (T-Mobile call and their Wi-Fi was superb) AND only $25/ night! Can’t beat that...I would have paid much more for the spot and the extraordinary hospitality!

This site is just next door to Hilltop RV Park... similar name but very different parks. This spot does not have the amenities or the views of Hilltop (alas, they are on the side of the hill as the name implies, not atop the hill). Though it is more bare bones, the essentials are there -- reliable hookups, level gravel pads and easy access right off I-10. The lot is wide, open gravel, so you won't get much in the way of landscaping or privacy, but if you're just looking for a place to park overnight at a reasonable price, Hillside will suit your needs.
TravelerWe 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.
LegendNice park. Water, electric, sewer, dump station, Verizon cell service, showers, flush toilets, very clean, TV cable, WiFi, monthly rates, Good Sam and Escapees discounts. We needed a small amount of propane to top off our tanks and were charged their flat fee of $40.
ScoutJust a dirt parking lot on the side of a busy and noisy highway. Worst rv park I ever stayed at.
ScoutIt'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.
ScoutThe 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.
ScoutThis rv park doesn’t even have a picnic table. It sits 10 feet from the highway where the speed limit is 70. Noisy, nothing here but sand. I would not go back again.
Guide
Marfa is walking distance from Tumble In and we enjoyed the walk. We arrived late and hooked up and went to sleep. The temperature dropped like a rock and the owner kindly unhooked our hose in the middle of the night to prevent more damage (we lost one valve& our furnace croaked). He then referred us to THE BEST rv service (Big Bend RV Service & Supplies). We also did laundry there- they ask for a $3 donation which is very fair!
ScoutAfter traveling 11 hours to pick up our new camper , we are very happy we chose hilltop to be our very first RV Park on our way home . Owners have a great sense of humor & very welcoming. The pool & restrooms were very clean , & we enjoyed it a lot . We will definitely be back !
Great prices for the good quality.

This park has all the bad qualities of a KOA. The sites are crammed together with barely enough room for a table between the rows. No fires here. Traffic as expected on a Friday was busy. The managers(owners?) line everybody up from sites 1 through 11 in a row. Close to 200 sites in this park and ALL the short term stays are in this row. I can see acres of sites across the park with many vacancies but they are not used. Theres a community center right across the street and a bar with a band making their presence heard till after dark, but not louder than my Youtube. The laundry has one(1) working wash machine. By 9:30 Saturday the whole row from my site NE(5-11) was empty again. Price is good as an Escapee,$30. The whole park is a typical high desert natural gravel parking lot with some trees, chain link fences and the pedestals demarcating the travel lanes which are plenty wide for the biggest RVs. I was offered site 11 on the very end so no one would billboard my view but I decided I would stick it out just one night with neighbor within spitting distance. I wonder(worry) that the rest of the weekend could be just as disruptive. Turns out I had the place mostly to myself the whole time I was there We camped at Tra-Park RV Park- Escapees Rainbow Park in a Fifth Wheel.
