RV spot in Big Bend NP in Texas

Will be visiting Big Bend National Park on Monday. We have not been there and are looking for recommendations for an RV park with full hook ups. Pulling a 28 foot 5th wheel.
Thanks in advance............

  • Inside the BBNP itself there is one CG with FHU. It is next to a store several miles into the park close to the Rio Grand River.
    Close to that is a National Park CG with NO HU's.

    PS: The FHU CG is nothing but a concrete parking lot made into a CG.
  • The Stillwell Ranch at the NE entrance has full hookups and good wifi. We stayed there last February and enjoyed the area. It is about 6 miles from the North entrance.
  • I'll be darned RVParkReviews has vanished Terlingua and Sturdy Butte from their listings.

    OK the listing for Terlingua finally popped up after a few minutes but I had to find it by going to the BB park site first. I guess they are having some problems with the remake. Terlingua included Study Butte.

    We stayed at Sturdy Butte RV Park for 5 days. It's at the crossroads. And is a couple of miles from the park entrance. It was a place to park with FHU and the describes all of the parks we saw down there. This one was at least mostly level.

    Sturdy Butte

    Further south at Lajitas there was a resort style park that I noticed when we passed thru.

    There are some CG in the park, none with FHU that I know of. Winter is the time to visit down there but I think you'll find lots of others with the same idea.
