  La Vista RV Park

  Quiet, Views

  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.

  Hilltop RV Park

  Good place to stop

  It pretty much rained almost the entire two days we were there. 😂

  Pros:

  • All non-permanent sites are pull through. Still ended up unhooking our tow vehicle because we are almost 40’ long. zthry say they are big rig friendly, but we may have been put in whatever was available.
  • Nice picnic table.

  Cons:

  • Local rock and dirt turns into a sludgy mud that we are still vacuuming out of our Jeep.

  Lost Alaskan RV Park

  Lost Alaskan RV Park, TX

  Nice 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.

  Balmorhea State Park Campground

  April 2025

  Very clean campground! Sites are nice and playground/group areas have nice green grass. Electric & water hookup. Staff was also great at check in. Spring Fed Oasis pool is cool as well. Coming during the week it isn’t busy & can enjoy it better. Also have great starlink reception here. Cell service available but spotty. Bath houses are in great condition. Very hot water available (which is so nice to have when traveling long term). Great stop passing through Texas.

  Davis Mountain RV Park

  Brand new RV Park

  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.

  Saddleback Mountain RV Park

  Convenient, large spaces

  We 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.

  Tumble In RV Park

  Rustic but charming

  Close to the road but kinda charming. Strong wifi and cell service, good laundry and bathrooms/showers. Level spots.

  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.

  Hilltop RV Park

  No frills but clean and quiet

  Cute little park. All spaces are large and pull throughs. Restrooms are better than most. Park is a little small for large dogs but still okay. Pattern gravel but very level. Both 30 and 50 amp and good water pressure
