Fort Davis Tx or Alpine TX need help

FT Davis state park is really neat. The deer, javelina,plus whatever run through the park so don't let the dogs outside without supervision.

It really gets dark so you can go to the observatory to one of the star parties and look at the planets.

It is for sure dark and quiet

x2 and they have full hook up sites - our site from above

Definitely Fort Davis State Park. Also plan a night trip to the nearby Planitarium for an awesome program. It's a beautiful area.

Totally agree with all of the above.

Fort Davis for sure as far as camping. Great hiking trails if that's your thing, one even allows you to hike into the National historic site of the old frontier fort ( well worth a visit .) Outstanding wildlife viewing; Mule & white tail deer, javelina , coyotes and many more including an occasional cougar. On my visit last Nov. I also ran across a group of Barbary sheep ( Aoudad ), which are probably considered an invasive species.

Many species of birds including one rare quail and a number of different rattlesnakes. If you have time you may want to make a day trip around the loop, either to Marfa then around to Alpine, or the other way around. The old Paisano hotel in Marfa was where the cast & crew of the movie Giant stayed during filming in the area, also you may want to check out the Marfa mystery lights while there.

As others have mentioned the Mcdonald Observatory is certainly worth a visit. A great amount of history and beautiful scenery go with the area, but don't expect any malls or Wal Marts
