6. Jomommas Rv Park
Terlingua, Texas2 Reviews•19 Photos•3 SavesAn authentic desert experience awaits you here. Were centrally located between Big Bend national park and Big Bend ranch state park in the heart of the historical Terlingua Ghost town. Voted an ideal night sky viewing location by earthsky.com and recognized by the McDonald's observatory for our dark sky friendly lighting. Jomommas Rv park is a smaller more family oriented park . We also have camp site's available!!!!I'm a 3rd generation Terlingua Tx resident so I know the area better than most.

10. Stillwell Store & RV Park
Big Bend National Park, Texas14 Reviews•29 Photos•45 SavesStillwell's Store and RV Park is located just north of Big Bend National Park, about 8 miles from the Persimmon Gap entrance. NOT LOCATED IN ANY TOWN, WE ARE 45 MILES SOUTH OF MARATHON The old-fashioned general store carries soft drinks, beer, ice, canned goods and regular gasoline. Our RV park features sites with full 30/50 amp hook-ups (electric, water and sewer), water and electric only sites, dry sites and tent sites. Stillwell is a practical campground with a lot of history, not a resort. Come enjoy the peace and quiet at Stillwell while exploring the nearby Big Bend National Park and Black Gap Wildlife Management Area. Given our ideal location, this is the perfect spot for stargazers, bird watchers and those just wanting to unplug for a bit. Whether it's for a short and or long-term stay, we hope to see you soon!
We do have limited WiFi at the store. The nearest cell phone service is about 15 miles away in BBNP. If technology is your top concern, this likely isn't the place for you.

I Could Live Here
Stayed here at a valley tent site (car camping), privately positioned on the other side of a ridge from the owners’ house with miles and miles of hilly desert land around. Bathhouse is hand-built by the owners next to sites, and they offer ice and laundry as well. It is cash only, although phone reservations are highly recommended during cooler months. I felt comfortable here as a solo woman camper, with stars as my roof most nights.

Jomommas Rv Park
Elena is the host you need to know!
A friend and I spent one brief night at Jomomma's in July of'24 before we climbed Emory peak in the morning. We were just plugging in a camper van because the nights were too warm to get good rest. July is"off-season" in Terlingua, and of the 5 or so RV places I called, Elena is the only one that called me back in a reasonable amount of time. The park was great, a limited number of spaces marked out by rocks and cactus. It wasn't one of those places that's just a big asphalt parking lot, or one of those places that just a dirt-scape either. Has true Terlingua character; which makes sense as Elena is 3rd generation Terlingua. The park is named after her grandmother"Jo", the original owner of the property. Clearly marked out spots, good desert landscaping, more than dark enough to see the stars, more than quiet enough to feel the presence of the desert and get a good nights sleep. All of this despite being very accessible from the main drag and not needing a 4x4 to arrive in one piece. Elena was warm, friendly, helpful, funny, and I quickly felt like I had a friend in town and knew that she was on the phone for whatever reason.
The rest of this is going to feel like a legend, but I promise it's true...
Two months later, my family(wife and 2 kids) and I had been in Big Bend STATE Park and were headed back through Terlingua on our way back home to the Permian basin. We came through town and then turned North to Alpine for about 3-5 miles when we had a blow out.... after business hours, on a Saturday, in Terlingua. My spare had even stopped holding air... do you see how screwed I was? I had been under the vehicle cursing myself for having neglected my"spare" situation, I'd already sweated through my clothes, and I was in denial about how much trouble I was really in when I started hearing another female voice beside my wife's. I climbed out, slumped in the shade of my van, then decided to try and at least remain a decent human being and introduced myself to the lady who'd stopped to help. I was flustered by the situation and was slow to catch on, so I asked"what do you do here in Terlingua?" she said"I run Jomomma's RV park" and I replied"Oh! i stayed there a couple months ago" she smiled a friendly grin and said emphatically"$*!*, I already know!"
She got out no less that 6 different tools from her truck trying to help us jerry-rig ourselves mobile again, she called her friends for help and ideas, she insisted that we keep a jack-part that she had but didn't need, she kept us laughing, and keeping optimistic about a way forward, and consorted with the other Terlingua residents who stopped to try and find a way for us to get out of this mess. She tried to call the only tire-guy in town and didn't get an answer. In the end, we loaded both my spare and my blown out rim into her truck and she and I headed to the home of the guy who ran the only tire business in town.
By this time, it was every bit of 8pm. Elena knocked on his door, entered his home, persuaded him to fix us up, spent probably 20 minutes helping him get ready to go, and even looked through his used tire inventory for what we needed. We talked about life, Terlingua in the past, Terlingua in the present, the state of the world, and what we believed in. We talked about the RV park, it's future and it's challenges. When the work was through, the tire man(so many props to Diego's Tire Repair Terlingua TX!) didn't take anything but cash and I didn't have enough on me; Elena offered to pay him and let me pay her back via Venmo. wow.
After she returned me to our family carriage, she hung around until we got the tire on and saw that it was holding enough air for the journey. All told, Elena spent 2.5 hours with my little family that Saturday night...no exaggeration, I just confirmed it with my google maps timeline. We were completely"up a creek" with two anxious young children, and I HAD to be at work the next morning. Elena saved our bacon at a time when I still don't know what"plan b" would have been. And she did it all with a smile and seemingly enjoying herself as she helped us. I had no idea I had a friend in Terlingua, but now I have no doubt...my family and I have a good friend in Terlingua, and I recommend that you make her acquaintance.

Pretty good spot
Overall it was a good site. The views were great and had a bear box included. The road is kind of rough and not the most comfortable but not terrible.

Rio Grande Village Campground — Big Bend National Park
Has everything you need
Good price considering they have running water in the bathrooms as well as dishwashing areas, though those weren’t pristinely clean. We liked our site back in the trees for all the shade, but looked like the sites in the big field all had manmade shade structures as well. Fun to see the javelinas!

Cottonwood Campground — Big Bend National Park
Good price for established park campground
Really enjoyed our two nights here! Plenty of trees provide much needed shade, pit toilets, potable drinking water plus different spigots for dishwashing water.

Stillwell Store & RV Park
Full hookups at north end of Big Bend is key!
This is the only RV campground I could find on the north side of Big Bend NP and I would stay here again. And as I'm used to staying in many campgrounds located near highways and significant city traffic, Stillwell is completely opposite -- totally quiet & dark & pleasant! On our drive to the park one day, we saw a sizable family of javelinas crossing the road!
The website is very clear that there is no cellular and very limited wifi (basically just at the store, although my wife's phone seemed a lot for successful at finding and holding the network from our place at the far end of the full-hookups lot. There are zero trees and I saw a couple Starlink receivers so I presume they've got full connectivity!
The FHU sites are very narrow. Each post has connections for two sites, so you and your neighbor pull in from opposite directions (assuming you both need driver-side hookups.) This is shown clearly on the site map, so no surprise there. But, we have a 42" deep slide and, even with just 6-8" clearance from the post, the adjacent site (on the curb side) with a similar slide would likely result in a single narrow shared path between the two rigs. Said another way, if I had to guess, I say there's only about 32' between posts to fit two rigs.
Our site, at least where we stopped in the long space, was significantly unlevel, both side-to-side and front-to-back, although we tried a few stopping points. The sewer connections are raised high above the surface, resulting in limited actual draining of your tanks even when using the common tapered hose guides we all use (i.e. significant waste will remain in the line.) Plan some extra time and care to dump and rinse your line.
As I said, I would definitely come here again, but just be prepared for this campground's less-than-ideal quirks. And enjoy the peace & quiet!

Terlingua Bus Stop Campground
Good campsite with all the features
This was a good campsite with excellent cell and wifi. Each campsite has water/sink, electric (2-110v and 2-220v), table and fire ring but no shade anywhere, none, and it gets hot until 7pm or so. Some campsites like 5, 8 and 10 are very level but others less so. The showers and toilets are centrally located and well maintained. Firewood was at the site and also available for purchase at $1 per stick on the honor system ie Venmo, Paypal etc. Sites 8,9,10 while closer together than I prefer (but not like at a National Park eg Rio Grande in Big Bend) have an excellent unobstructed dawn view

Chisos Basin Campground (Big Bend, Tx) — Big Bend National Park
Reserve early
Not all spots are created equal. Some don’t have space for even a medium tent. This is high desert camping. High winds, so staking a tent is difficult. But this IS the place to stay.
Lucy P.RangerTerlingua Bus Stop Campground
Great spot to stay!
Very pretty location, no cell service but okay wifi. Only wish would be more guidance on where we could or couldn’t walk from the campground. Also it’s hot, sunny, and windy so be prepared!

Grassy Banks Campground - Barton Warnock Visitor Center
An excellent campsie
This was a very nice campsites with distance between campsites. Each campsite had a covered table, lantern hanger, fire ring and convenient bathrooms. No water so bring your own and no cell service but the amazing night sky and spectacular drive from Presidio made up for it. We had site 16 in the back but the site had a lot of rocks so be aware

This is a beautiful campground deep inside Big Bend NP. Only 25 sites. Typical NP camping with few amenities. Picnic tables and bathrooms. All sites are by reservation only and fill up quickly. Convenient to exploring Big Bend

Rio Grande Village Group Campground — Big Bend National Park
Too developed for me
This is a nice campground if you are in a class A or C and want all the conveniences. Paved sites, full hookups, showers, gift shop. On the east side of the park do it is a drive to get to many places. But Big Bend is very big. Everything is a drive. Reservations are required made through US.gov website.

Small but very friendly
Made reservations with Debra by phone and she texted confirmation. No web site or email. Check or cash, no credit cards. Small campground, maybe 20 sites.Sites are close together, but not as bad as some others. Everyone is very friendly and laid back. There is a food truck in the campground several days each week.

Terlingua Bus Stop Campground
Quiet, remote, with the perfect amenities
Great campground! It’s almost at the end of a dirt road so it’s super quiet and there’s no cell service but great WiFi! Campsites are set decently far apart. You have really cool trails to check out. Clean bathrooms. Indoor and outdoor hot showers. And even your very own pterodactyl on the hill the flaps every hour! Dave is such a great host too if you catch him there… he’s full of all the history of the area! 10 out of 10 I’d recommend! And it was only $10 a night!

Loved Our Stay!
We loved our night at Chisos Basin. Was there in late August and the weather was perfect. Beautiful location. Bathrooms were clean. A lot of availability. There isn’t any first come first serve so you must reserve it through recreation.gov but there was good Verizon Service there at the Campground.

Upper & Lower Madera Campground — Big Bend Ranch State Park
Upper Madera 4 , Overlook view
Pretty close to the highway but mostly quiet . Many coyotes and javelina . Lajitas is just down the road with a good store . The state park is less traveled than Big Bend National Park . The view from this campsite was quite nice . Overlooks the Rio Grande and Lower Madera campsites . Pit toilets were new down low and the upper one was under construction , no water .

Big Bend Backcountry Camping — Big Bend National Park
Amazing!
So many great back country campsites in Big Bend! The park is massive and I appreciate the many options that are provided for people to get out of the RV campgrounds and out in solitude. . Every campsite we saw in the back country had a bear box on site. Obviously no other facilities.

Rio Grande Village Group Campground — Big Bend National Park
Classic National Park camping
We had an amazing time camping at the Rio Grand Campground. Posting my review of the Primative campground here as it is not to be confused with the privately owned parking lot RV campground next to the store and laundry house. . I love the fact that we could access the Nature Trail from camp. Sunrise and sunset hikes to the top of the lookout were incredible! . The wildlife in camp was great! So many different birds! It was also fun to see the javelinas and the grazing cows. . The bathroom was relatively clean and there is a separate sink for washing dishes. No showers, flush toilets only. Showers can be purchased at the camp store. . We will definitely stay here again!
