Awesome RV park to stay at, level sites full hookups, pretty quiet, just off the highway. Steakhouse the restaurant side was closed, we ordered food from the bar. It was all good!!
We have stayed here multiple times while traveling to and from Arizona. It is very easy to access from the highway and the spots are long enough to keep our tow vehicle in front of our 5th wheel and the price is unbeatable. We highly recommend this park.
We stayed here one night while traveling through west Texas. If coming from the west, the campground entrance is just off the exit ramp: you make a right turn at the first entrance to a gas station with overnight tractor trailer parking, then make the immediate first right. To drive to the office building, take the first left at the restaurant and drive over the large gravel stone surface to the small building with the red roof and porch. If you haven’t already pre-paid for your stay, there are payment envelopes and a drop box under a whiteboard that (at least when we visited) had a phone number to call for questions.
Apparently they don’t assign sites, so you can choose your own. All of the sites are pull-throughs of varying lengths, with gravel surfaces and full hookups. The sites closer to the interstate seem to be longer and have desert landscaping between sites; the sites further from the road seemed smaller with little or no landscaping, though most had at least one adjacent tree. We picked site 7, the end site on the first row, which was easily long enough for our 37-foot fifth wheel and 21-foot truck. In retrospect, it wasn’t a great choice because of all the road noise from I-10, which was clearly audible from inside our rig even when closed up. But it did give us a view of the 24/7 automated ice vending machine which sits at the front of the campground out our kitchen window, which was unique. Our site was mostly level, though we did put a board under the camper wheels to help. The hookups are more towards the back of the site, which could require the use of extension cords or hoses depending on your rig.
Unless your dog is a fan of walking and gravel, this is not a great campground for dogs. There is some shrubbery near the restaurant, but you have to walk over to the front of the gas station to get off the gravel and onto some grass.
In terms of cell service, the best speed I got on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna was 70Mbps down and 22 up, and I had no issues with streaming video. The one speed test I rand on my 5G AT&T smartphone showed 153Mbps down and 6 up. There is no campground WiFi: the only amenities are the aforementioned ice vending building and a few dumpsters for trash.
Full-hookups for $20 is hard to beat, but with both the road noise from the interstate and the engine/generator noise from the tractor trailers parked overnight just outside the campground, it wasn’t a good place to get a good night’s sleep.
I love choosing my own spot! Only 9 miles from Balmorhea State Park, full hookups, prettier than the other 3 RV parks nearby, and on-site ice, $3 for a20 lb. bag.
Great convenient, pretty stopover. Good facilities; gas station, ice machine, bar, full hook ups for only $20.
Dog friendly it's gravel so they didn't love walking on it but was fine.
Desert plants between lots of sites. We're 41' 5th wheel, spots are long and easy pull-through, lots of them so just choose on arrival.
We saw lovely sunset. There are trucks in separate section so little noise from overnight generators and muffled interstate noise. Definitely would stay again. Only gave a 4* because some litter is around.
