There are only 8 sites and each site has electrical hooks up for both 50 amps and 30 amps. Ronda brought us water one evening and has a honey wagon as needed. A wonderful place to stay if you want to visit Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua, and see the darkest skies in the country. We'll have to return with the appropriate cameras and telescopes next time. It may be a little intimidating to get there, as it's 13 miles on a country road off US 118 and another 1.5 miles on narrow dirt road, but you will be rewarded for your perseverance. Tin Valley is a slice of paradise for those who seek it.

I rarely write Yelp reviews (I'm a huge Yelp lurker), but I thought I would write one for Alpine…read moreAuto Rental because they don't have many reviews here, and I felt they did an excellent job of facilitating a phenomenal recent trip of mine to the Big Bend region. The only snag I ran into was having a slightly difficult time contacting them by phone, but once I was able to do so, they were nothing but super accommodating. The main purpose of my trip was to visit Big Bend National Park, and secondarily to visit Marfa. I had been debating about whether or not to take Amtrak from Houston to Alpine and drive there, versus just driving all the way from Houston, but I preferred to do the former. Given that Alpine Auto Rental seems to be the only car rental facility within a two-hour driving radius of Alpine, it was either taking the train and renting from them, driving from Houston, or flying to El Paso or Midland/Odessa and renting a car from there to drive to Big Bend NP (much too far in my opinion). I was concerned about the fact that their listed hours state that they are closed on Sundays, and the train I wanted to take arrived on a Sunday, but once I was actually able to speak to them on the phone, they confirmed that I could rent a car on the day of my arrival. They even drove the car to the Alpine train station to meet me at the time of my train's arrival, letting me know in advance that they would track my train online in real time (because Amtrak can be notoriously delayed) to determine when I would actually arrive. Similarly, for my departure trip home, they told me that because Amtrak was often unpredictable/delayed, that I could simply drive to the train station, leave my keys in the glove compartment, and close up the locked doors whenever I was done with the car. Even though they have a monopoly on car rentals in the area (as far as I know), and despite it being slightly annoying that they charge 10 cents/mile on top of the daily base car rental rates, I felt the prices overall were very much in line with what I would expect to pay for a car rental in a major city. I highly recommend Alpine Auto Rental and would strongly consider using them in conjunction with a train ride to Alpine (if feasible) if you plan on visiting the Big Bend region.

The alternator went out and we are just able to make it to a convenience store at the Study Butte-Terlingua area. It was already after hours for Antonio; but, he graciously helped us out.

They even went so far as to give us a ride back to our AirBNB Marfa that night and picked us up when the work was done! If you need car mechanical work done in the Terlingua area keep Antonio's business in mind!
