This is the best there is in this area. Be aware that the area is really primitive, but this park has all the necessities. There is also a golf course, motel rooms, and apartments. Plenty of room at sites, and most are pull through. Located just 2 miles from the entrance to Big Bend National Park, and a few miles to Lajitas, and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Much to see in the area, and great views. We stayed here a week. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I have to agree with the prior reviewers for this park. It is in need of much repair. Staff lies to you all the time. When making a reservation they give you the impression that they are booked solid, not so as out of 150 sites maybe 20 were occupied the 4 days we were there. There really is no WiFi in the park and no access inside the motel lobby either. The only place the WiFi might work is inside the cafe at the gas station next door which they said was theirs also. I have great external WiFi antennas and they have worked everywhere except here. Air Cards do not work in the area either. We were not the only ones that could not receive any WiFi here. The sites are dirt and mud when it rains and are not level. The power boxes are old and need updating. The (I assume) water tank beside the park has noisy motors running day and night. The only restroom in the RV Park is old and dirty with no soap or paper towels. The cruddy showers are also pay! It is the only game around so they could care less if you ever return. The Rio Grande Village at the other end of the park has two campgrounds one with hookups which resembles a three lane parking lot with rigs lined up on both sides of the center lane, no shade and only holds about 30 rigs. The non-hookup campground on the other hand is very nice and private and shady with lots of grass, if you don't need hookups or tent camping this one is the right choice. The Chisos Basin campground near the center of the park also has no hookups and will only accommodate rigs of 20' or less and is adjacent to the lodge. You wouldn't want to drive anything larger up the road to it anyway with its many twists and turns. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

First time here. All dirt pads, no shade. Pretty dusty when the wind blows through everyday at 3pm. Staff was cordial. Park should put down some gravel to help cut down on the dirt and dust. Fortunately told to shop in Alpine before coming to Terlinqua. This is naturally a pretty primitive area. No cells, no WiFi. Only a mile from Big Bend National Park. Plenty to go see and do in the area. Very convenient to Terlinqua, Big Bend and Lajitas. Would stay there again, since there is limited RV parks in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good base for exploring Big Bend. Staff was friendly. Regular no frills desert park. Utilities were good. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you're looking for full hook-ups in the area, this one just fine. We looked at the paved parking area at the Rio Grande Village store and we determined we made a good choice. We found we needed a hardware store and found one in Terlingua. There's also a bit of night life at the nearby saloon with live music on this particular Saturday night. It ended at a decent hour. We also had easy access to The Barton Warnock Visitors Center at the Big Bend Ranch State Park in Lajitas as well as destinations in the central and western side of the national park. We'd definitely choose Big Bend Motor Inn again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here due to the fact that Big Bend was full (even the no-hookup sites). The cable TV never worked right. The WiFi worked OK, and the laundry room was clean. This park and the surrounding area is pretty desolate. However, if this is the only place available, it is definitely worth it to see Big Bend NP. The park entrance is only 5 miles or so from the park. There is a store nearby with a restaurant. They have diesel, and food, and also a grill. The food is OK. We'd stay here again if necessary. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great location for visiting Big Bend. The showers cost $2 for 6 minutes, so we used our own. Pretty pricey for tenters! Groceries are pretty expensive, so we bought food and water in Alpine before getting to Terlingua. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

First time to Big Bend and very glad we picked this park. Drove by the others would not stay there at all. Big Bend Motor Inn is easily the nicest in town and very close to the park entrance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Clean and friendly owners. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice place to stay while visiting Big Bend NP. This is our second stay at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed there several times. The park is behind the Big Bend Motor Inn. Park is actually at Study Butte on Highway 118, about 2 miles from the west entrance to Big Bend Natl Park. Terlingua is on FM 170. Try the Starlight Dinner Theater for great food. FM 170 is a great scenic drive along the Rio Grande River.

This was an adequate campground owned and run by the Big Bend Motor Inn. The campground was dusty with a mixture of pull-thru's and back-in's. Most sites were flat and had full hook-ups but the cable tv wasn't working when we were there. The picnic tables could have done with some maintenance. A good location to visit the western side of the Big Bend National Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this campground to be quite pleasant. The reviews were rather negative, but we tried the park anyway. The staff is friendly, wifi worked all the time and it's quiet. We would come here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This place didn't seem as bad as some previous reviewers have noted. We had no problem getting level; in fact, the first site we tried we didn't need to use the jacks, but because of a dusty area right below our door, we moved. The second site required minimal leveling. If I have to bring out the wood blocks for my jacks, I consider it serious leveling. In this case, the blocks stayed in storage. Also, this park now has wi-fi (since 7/06). While it's not the best wi-fi, in that it fades in and out, it's not bad and beats running over to the middle school. They claim to have hotspots in the office and rec area of the motel, but we didn't feel the need to lug the computer over there. Not many amenities in the park...the real amenities are a few miles away in Big Bend NP. We would definitely come back and are happy to have not been scared away by the mostly negative reviews. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a pathetic place. It's about the only game in town at this end of Big Bend. Lots of narrow, cruddy spaces that are unlevel. Sad attempt to level some of the more lopsided sites with loose gravel fill. No dog walk area and there's plenty of residue from pups all around. Nice scenery out back if you walk around the 9 hole golf course which is surprisingly nice. Like dust? Go here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It's cheap and close to the park. Other than that, it's simply a rather dumpy RV park behind a tacky motel in a dusty, little wide spot in the road. The sites weren't level and, given the miles of nothing in West Texas, stupidly-designed narrow sites. However, it's the only game in town and Big Bend Park is so harshly beautiful that is was worth a couple nights here just to be able to easily visit the park. The yin and the yang of RVing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I thought I posted this after our annual trip to Big Bend in 2005, but mines not here. We had a travel trailer, 2 fifth wheels and one motorhome. We stayed 3 nights and had no complaints. Everyone was friendly and when we could not get the wifi to work the liquor store let us have something sent to them and they printed it at no charge to us. For those other less than positive posts, remember, this is the desert. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the best location for visiting the Big Bend Nat Park and the great River Road, one of the best drives in Texas.The camp Ground is fine for a desert setting. I stay here every time I visit the Big Bend(3 X) to date. Great Hiking and Quaint resturants in the area. We camped here in a camper.
