"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"
". $20 cash in an envelope gets you full hookups (50/30 amp - powerpoles in good shape), water (good quality/ pressure), and sewage. No picnic tables or bbq/fire."

Pros:
- All non-permanent sites are pull through."
"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"
"I paid $45 per night for a pull through site for hook up. Stayed two nights in early December 2022."
"Water, electric, sewer, dump station, Verizon cell service, showers, flush toilets, very clean, TV cable, WiFi, monthly rates, Good Sam and Escapees discounts."
"We were on our way to Big Bend National Park and it's really out of the way! Alpine was a good place to spend the night before heading to the park. "
$15 - $35 / night
"Close to the road but kinda charming. Strong wifi and cell service, good laundry and bathrooms/showers. Level spots."
"The WiFi worked well for me even out in the camping area, working remote with email, video meetings, uploading and downloading. No problem there. Bathrooms are barely clean."
"Small, quiet, very clean. Never met the owner but the mgr. Was very nice. Nice view. Very nice restrooms and shower facilities. Water, sewer and elec. Picnic table at site. No fires! Free wifi."
RangerMarch 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.
GuideIt pretty much rained almost the entire two days we were there. 😂

Cons:
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.
RangerVery 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.
GuideStayed 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.
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.
TravelerClose to the road but kinda charming. Strong wifi and cell service, good laundry and bathrooms/showers. Level spots.
LegendThere 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.
TravelerCute 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
