It's not the cleanest of places but it's not too bad, and it's close to everything in the area that's worth seeing so that's nice. While we were on our visit the restaurant that's on site was closed but I'm assuming that was a temporary thing. Honestly, I find myself somewhere in between a good review and a bad review. I can't really compare to anything because I haven't stayed at any other accommodations in the area. It'll probably suit your needs if you're not too picky. one nice thing I can't point out is if it's the needs for everyone a motel if you like sleeping indoors in RV site if you have one and it primitive Campground all at the same location read more

We recently stayed here in a lodge room for a couple of nights while visiting Big Bend National Park. It was OK. That's it. Nothing great and . . . we felt it was WAY over priced for what you get. There are other options in the area that are much nicer and similarly priced if you can reserve those. Do your research, look around and plan ahead. Thankfully we had a room with two queen beds -- which were comfortable -- and we used both because the top sheets were twin size and didn't even cover the entire top of the mattress. It was clean . . . as much as possible in such a dusty, dry climate. These units have supposedly been recently refurbished, but they need to pay a bit more attention to details (like the sheets) if charging this much. A rug or two to wipe dust from our feet before entering would have been helpful. The sink was new and nice, but the toilet was tiny, low to the floor and old with a big water tank and it flushed really sloowww. No excuse for that these days. Get nicer, more efficient toilets! People available to help or answer questions were scarce and food options not very forthcoming. There are a few places to go for dinner and/or coffee (4-6 miles away), but not a lot of options. Just know that this is a pretty bare bones facility in a pretty bare bones west Texas town . . . Bottom line, if you can't find anything else and don't mind 'semi' roughing it for a few days, you'll be fine. On the other hand, if you expect more for your $275/night, then you're probably not going to like this place. read more

This is not a bad area to park your camper. The employees were courtious and never bothered us. I did not feel like we were under someones thumb with our pet as is at other RV camping spots. Just know that you will pay for showers if you are not able to use your own. Also, know that the dust is horrible and if you are looking for that dark skies area fthe campers do not abide and turn outside camper lights off as to not polute the skies. The last night we were there we had some individuals on a side by side flinging gravel and playing extremely loud music within the RV Park. It is not a bad place but be informed. Thanks read more

Accommodations - 2 Stars Cleanliness - 3 Stars Price/Value - 1 Star This was our fist time visiting West Texas. We had done some research and realized that we needed to "set out expectations" for what to expect on our trip. That being said "Rustic" is an understatement!!!! Even given the comment above, we were generally disappointed in this particular place. I understand that we were there on an unusually busy week for tourists to the Big Bend Area of Texas, but we never felt "welcomed" from the moment we arrived. The check-in desk was extremely crowded and we felt rushed. While waiting our turn to check in, we overheard one of the desk clerks tell someone else that was checking in that there as a "soap shortage" so don't expect there to be any soap in the room. He said there might be some body wash in the room, and to either use that, or shampoo in place of soap. Guess what, he wasn't lieing....no soap in our room, either!!!! In general, our room looked like they put lipstick on a pig. When we first opened the door, it looked "cute" with a colorful mural on the wall next to the bed and a colorful Mexican Sarape/Throw across the foot of the bed. However, upon "settling in" it was discovered that there was no place to set your luggage, other than on the bed, or on a foot-locker that you could pull out from under the TV equipment table, but then you couldn't walk from one side of the room to the other. There was NO closet or hanging space for our hanging clothes. The Flintstones probably had a softer bed than this room had, and they slept on a rock slab!! The plastic/fiberglass shower enclosure had been painted and the paint was peeling off, revealing the previously stained, old, and disgusting shower that had probably been there since the place was built. The toilet was running when we entered the room, but I fixed that myself (the chain was stuck under the flapper valve because it had too much slack in it). Aside from the fact that I don't particularly like working on a motel toilet while on vacation, given that water is such a valuable resource out there, it was disappointing that this was allowed to happen, . While taking a shower (short one, I might mention) the hot water came and went. The one saving grace is that the room was generally clean, and we didn't experience any evidence of bed bugs, mold, bodily fluids, etc. All of this for the mere price of $222 per night, taxes included!!! So............... I generally classify problems into two categories - Knowing, and Caring. If you don't know about a problem, or how to do something, that can be fixed. If you just don't care, that can't be fixed, and the latter appears to be the problem with this place: Based on quite a few of the other reviews....... You know, or should have known, about the poor room maintenance and water issues; I call BS on the "soap shortage". Somebody just didn't do their job and forgot to order enough soap to get you through the busy holiday period. Go to the Family Dollar store and buy some soap, or order some from Amazon! The price you charge for these rooms is ridiculous. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Clean things up, make some repairs, and invest in some FUNCTIONAL furniture. At least then I wouldn't feel so taken advantage of, especially since I had set my expectations to accept "sparse and rustic". Remember, you can shear sheep many times, but you can only butcher them once. Growth is coming your way, and if you don't step up your game, the "sheep" will go somewhere else to sleep once there is availability (and we have long memories). read more

This place is a motel, gas station, RV park and has a cafe. There's not a lot to offer at this 4 way intersection but this place does a pretty good job. Don't be so snooty in the middle of nowhere! The check-in was pretty organized be it a one-man show on a Saturday evening. We got our room (one large king bed) across the street that has NO WIFI but TV! Reception on the latter good and it was during the NCAA basketball finals so I was okay. Several small restaurants around within easy driving distance. There is NO daily room service (so don't be a slob). In room fridge. Hot water works. The cafe that is part of the gas station/grocery store is GREAT. Loved the one breakfast I had (cheese sandwich with bacon and apple slices was awesome. RESTAURANT CLOSED ALL DAY TUESDAYS AS ARE SEVERAL OTHER LOCAL PLACES - BEWARE! read more

The office staff, in particular, Alex was very nice. During an unexpected water shutoff & surge when town turned it back on caused our hose to burst. Alex made sure we were compensated for our loss. Plus I left my small trail daypack outside & the office saved it & returned it to me. We have several lovely new memories of Big Bend & was perfect at the end of each day to sleep well in the. quiet BBS RV park. read more

I hate to write a great review and run the risk of NOT finding lodging on my next trip. I read the low reviews after I made reservations BUT I also saw that it had a new owner. I was solo so I had a room with one king size bed in a newly renovated motel. It was perfect for me ! The room was very clean. I enjoyed walking around at sunset taking photos. The staff was very friendly. Cost was middle of the road considering they were kicking off their busy time of year. Big Bend area is crazy starting Nov 1st or so. My only pick was a lack of a broom to sweep up the small rocks I tracked in while walking around outside. I know most people would never think of sweeping a motel while on vacation BUT not me. It's worse stepping on one of those small rocks while barefooted. I will definitely make reservations here for my next trip. Plus, my wife would approve of it. read more

It depends on if you don't mind the look of the place. It's clean, and it's the closest you'll get to without having to camp. I appreciated that our refrigerator had a freezer in it to refreeze our blue ice, and they had red porch lights unlike our neighbor gas station. I requested a queen, but we got 2 full beds. I didn't complain. It had a microwave which we were able to buy frozen breakfast meals at local general dollar store. The room was cold, comfortable and clean. Wooden porch was little noisy when people walked across. read more

Great price, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Room was comfortable and the hot shower was amazing after a long day of hiking at Big Bend. Check in was painless and the staff was very nice. We will definitely stay here again! read more

There are three different sections under this brand name that are managed by the same company (who has contracted with the National Parks Service). They are the Motor Inn Guest Rooms, The Mission Lodge, and the RV Park and Campground. My review is for the Motor Inn Guest Rooms. It's not the fanciest hotel/motel in the world, but remember where you are for crying out loud. It's better than sleeping in a tent out on the desert floor - TRUST me! This is one of the closest hotels located outside of Big Bend National Park, and I used it as my first night destination because of my late arrival. It's located about 28 miles away from the Chisos Basin Visitor Center within the park, so it's a short drive to get your hike on! (if you are checking in past 9PM, let them know ahead of time so you can make arrangements to get your keys) The rooms are very dated, but clean, with good air conditioning, and very hot water. There's a gas station located literally next door, along with a convenience store and a small cafe for breakfast or lunch. Right across the street, is the Terlingua Ghost Town, with a couple of dining choices and some really cool watering holes at which you can whet your whistle. Very friendly staff, and I would stay here again. Just don't expect anything fancy and updated - you're in Terlingua after all. Everything in Terlingua is going to be similar - there aren't many choices. When I headed out here, I was expecting zero cell signal - but I actually got a decent 3G signal in most parts of the small town. read more

Stayed at Big Bend Station January the 27th and checked out early the 28th due to unforeseen circumstances. Accommodations were cute and decent, with my partners only complaint being that the bathroom made the entire room have a musty smell. The gentleman who checked us in at night was very kind and quick at taking care of every guest. My only major complaint came the following morning. We went right at 7:00 am when they opened to check out early and the woman working the front desk was very rude and had an attitude with the questions I was asking. My partner and I both left with a bad impression of the establishment because of her incredibly poor customer service. Other than that, it was chill. read more

We stayed at Big Bends Resorts & Adventures for a night during a trip to Big Bend. It's curiously named as this is not a resort nor is there much adventure on the premises. It's really just a standard motel. Located in Terlingua, the motel is close to Big Bend. Part of what I didn't like about my eexperience here is the lady who was working the front desk. Reception in West Texas isn't great so I didn't have cellular service when I arrived. I asked her if there's WiFi in the lobby and she said she would think about whether or not to share it with me. She eventually did but it was a strange encounter. It's like she's guarding the internet like it's an endangered species. Similarly, rather than writing down your WiFi info for the room, she asks you to call her when you arrive to the room. Why? This is inefficient and weird. And annoying as it's tough to get a hold of her by phone. Just give us the internet! The room itself was average. Not super clean but did the job. Not luxurious but decent. An average experience so three starts does it justice. Some better hospitality would help. read more

If you want to stay in the worst hotel in Big Bend, this place is for you! The first room featured bed bugs, sheets that didn't fit, and no mattress cover. The second room offered had a big strand of black hair on the sheets and bugs on the mattress. And the third room featured a hairy guy sleeping the bed who woke and told me I had the wrong room (although the key fit and the room number on the key fob matched). This was such a great start to my first Big Bend trip. I can't recommend this hotel enough -- especially if you are a terrible person who has done terrible things to people throughout your entire life. The pictures tell the tale. Check them out. read more

I've been staying at this hotel every trip for the last 10 years. Its cheap, convenient, and for the most part a clean place to stay in. My trip there in March of 2023 was by far the worst experience I've had in those 10 years. Traveling with a friend, I booked 2 single bed rooms (1 for each of us). I tried booking the room through their website but there was none showing available. After a 30 min wait to the call center for booking I got both rooms finally booked and was charged a deposit of $307.36 for both rooms. We arrived on March 23rd at 4pm, got checked, charged the remaining balance for each room ($307.36 x 2) in and went to our room. First room smelled musty and a little humid. We pulled the blanket over there was what at first looked like bed bugs on the sheets, but after inspection it was black debris all over the bed. sheets were not by any means clean so we went back and requested a new room. Got the keys to another room, walked in, pulled the sheets back, and not only was there the same black debris all over the sheets there was also human hair covering the entire sheet as if it was not even changed (pics below). The mattress below the sheets was also filthy. Went back to the front and requested another room hoping 3rd time was the charm. Got the keys to another room, walked in, there was a guest sleeping in the bed. The person woke up, told us we were in the wrong room so we apologized and left. Went back to the front office and requested a cancellation and a full refund. They apologized and gave me two pieces of paper with what appears to be a refund on each piece for each individual room. We searched around and found 2 clean rooms at CHISOS MINING LODGE 1/4 mile down the road. Rooms were clean, sheets were clean, and it was considerably cheaper than this place. Once home, I called the hotel on Thursday, March 30th because the refund amount had not shown up on my credit card. I was told they didn't know and I needed to call "Central". I called their central booking and was on the phone for 26 minutes with the person on the other line apologizing and telling me I'd hear back the same day from someone ensuring me some answer on my refund. Nobody called. I called back on Monday, April 3rd and was told the same thing but was transferred to someone else who promised me I'd get a call back within 72 hours. That call was 47 minutes... and nobody called back!!! As of today (4/20/23) I still don't have my refund of $922.08 from Aramark who runs the property and I've had to dispute the amount with my credit card in hopes of getting my money back. Needless to say, I won't be staying at this place anymore after this experience and will definitely not be recommending it for anyone who travels to the region. There's better options popping up everywhere around the area and this place has a long way to go before catching up to any of the other options around. EDIT: After 40 days, i finally have my refund. It only took 3 calls to them over those 40 days and finally being told it was up to the hotel to give me a refund when the hotel was the one originally telling me that 'Central' was responsible. read more

Great location and comfortable digs. It's not the Ritz, and has limited TV channels, but there's no need for that, given the great outdoors just steps away. Could use a renovation in some spots, but it's clean, quiet and the staff is nice. Nice straight shot to either Big Bend National Park or Alpine. View are comparable to Sedona, AZ, in some respects, but at 1/5 the cost. read more

We camped for four nights in our RV. Let's first address some previous reviews. No, this is not a resort. Most "RV Resortss" are not resorts. Yes, there is dust and dirt. You are in a desert; by definition, there is dust and dirt. Yes, the power can be unreliable, but that is not their fault. When we were here the power was out for 8 hours and it was a regional issue. It's my understanding, the problem originated in Alpine. The same thing happened last month. The regulars just flow with it. But power outages do result in water outages and that they can fix. The good news is Big Bend Resort and Adventure is under new management: Aramark. Rumor has it, Aramark will be making improvements that include a backup generator for the well which means power outages will not result in water outages. I would also suggest a backup generator at the gas station so gas and diesel can be pumped during power outages. They supposedly will also install site-wide WiFi. I would hope they would remove the coin-ops in the showers and instead put code-keyed locks on the bath/shower rooms to keep transients out. I'm paying to stay. I should be able to use their showers for free. In general, this was a good base camp for exploring Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. The sites are level and easily negotiated. The only current drawbacks are lack of WiFi and coin-op showers. These issues were mitigated with a T-Mobile hotspot and, with full hookups, showers in our RV. We never encountered the smell that some people reported. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is great with gas/diesel out front, a grocery nearby, numerous restaurants within a few miles radius, 9 miles to the Maverick Entrance to the National Park, and 21 miles to the State Park. read more

Worse place ever!! Do not recommend this resort for camping. The showers you had to pay to use, bathrooms were clogged and backed up and transients were able to access the bathrooms. No grass and all sand, however this could have been improved by paving the roads and camp sites. For the price you pay should have decent bathrooms and free showers. Water pressure was minimal. We left early and will not return to this campground. read more

This place is bad. Really bad. There are a few caveats to consider, sure. This place is almost the closest accommodation just outside the park. There's not a lot of competition. And you've come all this way to visit a national park, you probably weren't planning to spend a lot of time here. But when you consider how much you're paying for this place and what you're actually getting, it becomes quickly apparent that not only is this place bad, it's unnecessarily bad. I'll try to let the pictures mostly speak for themselves. I've stayed in hotels and Air BnB all over, but this by far is the worst. It clearly has not been updated in decades. It looks like a college dorm. But not a good college dorm, more like the local community college where that guy who used to sell you weed sophomore year lived. In. 1989. And the tv. That horrible tv. We paid $200 a night to state here for four nights. I just googled it; you can buy a 40 in. flat screen from Walmart for $99. Right. Now. Instead, for. $800 you get a 33 in. throw back to 1999. I think I literally had this same big box tv in my first apartment. Appalling aesthetic choices aside, the customer service is deplorable. I had to wait for "Raul" to come back from the store before I could get a key to our place. They did ask me if I wouldn't mind waiting, but having driven hours through the desert, I clearly had no place else to go. Trash bags from the cleaning service were left in our room that we had to dispose of. Toilet would not flush. In the end, I would have been okay with this place if it had not charged so much. If the charges had been fair, that would have been one thing. But in the end I simply felt that someone was taking advantage of me. Buyer beware. read more

TL;DR: Cancellation policy is a scam. Customers will lose the deposit if they miss a 72hr-before-check-in deadline with minute precision, but customer service is slow and won't answer the calls within the hour before check-in time to possibly secure deposits through the cancelation policy. The company discretely sticks a "FULL PAYMENT DUE AT THE TIME OF BOOKING" payment policy during checkout with no explanation and contrary to the actual payment policy available under their Policies & Info section. Customer service quietly complies with cancellation requests from customers that are unaware of being outside of the cancellation window just to inform them later that they lost the deposit, shielding with the cancellation policy and without providing any option to transfer the reservation. Here's my story: Last week I made a reservation for two nights of camping, from the 03/10 to the 03/12 and paid a total of $48, $24 per night for a Tent Site (Best Flex Camp, what a joke). I did just like with any other hotel, I didn't think much of it and made the swipe (figuratively). Yesterday, 03/07 I was forced to cancel the trip last minute. I called the provided phone line at 3:55pm because I didn't even have lunch break that day, just to cancel a reservation but the call was not answered. I didn't realize that the cancellation policy states that it must be done outside a 72hr window for a refund, which is understandable, but they failed to specify anything about since when the 72 hours were accounted for and, since the check-in was at 4pm on Friday, I failed to cancel before the cancellation window according to their rules. But I hadn't noticed what I was in yet. Continuing with the story, after 10 minutes of waiting for a human to answer, I hung up and called again, but this time I had left a voice message using the provided option and tried to make sure I left all with my information. Two things: I was at the gym, using some cheap earbuds to call and English is not my first language. With all the noise I don't know if I hung up too early by accident or if my voice didn't make it because of the noise or the earbuds, but long story short, I woke up this morning to find out that the cancellation wasn't processed. Then, I figured I was already outside of business hours so I called it a day and figured that I could have a chance to cancel on the next day. Today 03/08, I called several times: first thing in the morning I left a voice message because nobody answered and made sure to leave all my info. Nothing happened . Called after lunch time and after 20 minutes a lady responded (she was on lunch break, understandable, I was on my break too). She went ahead and helped me with the cancellation, but she mentioned that I would lose my deposit because I missed the cancellation deadline ONLY AFTER SHE HAD GONE THROUGH IT. I accepted it and asked how much was the deposit just to realize that full payment was lost. I protested but she gasligthed me by saying that I was charged only for the first night and that each night was actually $48, so the actual total was $96 but rest assured, I had paid only the deposit. $96 for a freaking tent space, I didn't realize it was excessive until the call was finished. I did my research, which I should have done before calling the first time, I found that each night for a tent place was $24 and that in reality I had paid for the reservation IN FULL ($48), contrary to the policies described under the Policies & Info section and what I was told by customer service. The policy literally says "Payment: First night stay deposit at the time of the reservation" and "Cancellation: 72 hrs. prior to reservation for a refund". Called again and as expected, a different person picked up the call after a 10 minutes wait, just to redirect me to the corporate email for a refund request that might not go through, insisting that the $48 paid was the price for the first night only and that the system wouldn't let them do any refund. I repeated the reservation steps to verify that I was lied twice by customer service. The booking process demands full payment regardless of the number of nights and it's always regarded as DEPOSIT, which will be lost if you decide not to use the reservation and find yourself outside such cancellation deadline. No policy exists for reservation transfer and probably their "system" locks out the reservation as soon as you have less than 72 hrs left to cancel, preventing you from transferring it to another person and off course, if you call customer service, the will gladly take your money with no second chances. Nice experience for my first night camping. Good job. Please stay away from it, save yourself a headache. Support the National Parks System and fund the parks infrastructure by reserving through Recreation.gov instead. Buy the annual pass, it pays for itself on the first time you use it, really. read more

Asked the office to please move a picnic table to our RV site which did not have one, as my partner was not able to help carry one from another site, and was told they would, but then dissed me, never sent anyone to help move one.

Big Bend is AWESOME!!! This motel IS NOT!!! There are many things wrong with this property - I will go into detail on one of them. You will not have hot water often (or any pressure to push hot water into the shower head), and you will have times when there is no water at all. You will also not get an honest answer from the front desk either by telephone or in person, as to the status of potentially, sometimes, having water. Our stay went like this: Day 1 Wanted to shower after long drive - office said no hot water, took an ice-cold February shower. Day 2 Woke up to no water at all - office said would be repaired by our evening return - it wasn't. Afternoon clerk said the message was never given to the repair folks. Day 3 after another trip to the office, learned that nothing had been done and the repair folks were not notified - bright spot in the journey, the repair folks were quick once notified and went to work. We had hot water for a short time (able to take a warm shower - the only warm shower of the trip). When we returned in the evening, no water at all. Day 4 Woke up to still no water. Even though we had paid for one more day, we checked out and left. Strongly recommend that you do not stay here. read more

Have stayed in this RV Park often in the last 20+ years. The local staff is great. But whoever owns this place is treating it as a "Cash Cow". It's about the same or worse than any other RV Park nearby. The owners have raised prices but never have they made any improvements. Strike the word, "Resorts" from the title and it is less deceptive. There used to be a swimming pool. They used to have an outdoor stage with live entertainment. Then perhaps it was a "resort". The pool is filled in. There is no stage nor entertainment. Just a dusty, hot RV park with good electricity and VERY weak water supply. Plan on taking LONG, SLOW shower after your day in the park. But then .... it IS Terlingua. NOT Lajitas nor Alpine nor Marta nor Ft. Davis nor Marathon, nor Government-operated National Park lodge, all of which will offer nicer accommodations. But then it IS Terlingua. read more

Big Bend Resorts & Adventures is located just outside the Northwest edge of Big Bend National Park at the intersection of Hwy 118 and 170. Our hiking group (http://www.meetup.com/Houston-Area-Trails-More/) booked at Big Bend Resorts & Adventures because Chisos Mountain Lodge (40 minutes away) inside Big Bend National Park was already full. The Cafe / Alon gas station seems to be an important hub in the area. We saw lots of vehicles parking and getting gas here. The Motor Inn duplex units that we stayed in (42 and 43) had a noticeable lack of clocks. There is free tea and hot coffee in the lounge area in the back of the Gift Shop / Registration building. There is also a big orange cat that roams around. The Restaurant / Cafe / Gas Station / Convenience Store is the south neighboring building of the Gift Shop / Registration building. The staff is very friendly in a small town folksy way. Big Bend Resorts & Adventures was pretty good for the remote area. I deducted a star for not having housekeeping on our last of four days there. read more

Comfortable. Basic. Shabby Decor. Convenient. NOT the Hilton. My idea of camping is Motel 6. Well, this wasn't motel 6. This hotel desperately needs remodeling. It's not beautiful inside, but hey they got hot and cold running water and air conditioning and wifi in the playroom. Keep in mind that their aren't that many choices in Study Butte and that they have to truck in tomatoes and toilet paper at least 100 miles. They are working miracles here to be basic and average. The real pretty here is the outside. They got nice views and are down the road from the western entrance to Big Bend National Park. Their restaurant service is slow but they made good when they got our order wrong and comped our meal. Don't expect big city comfort nor chic decor. You are in a time warp back to 1982. But hey, you are here to go to Big Bend not gawk at tacky furniture. read more

We stayed here for one night after 2 nights in Big Bend Chisos Basin lodges. I should have driven another hour to Alpine which we stayed following night at Quality Inn. I would give it Zero stars as costs $135/night. Compare to Quality Inn in Alpine at $110/night the following. Pro: Bed was fine, TV worked, AC and heat were fine. Con: Trash in both trash cans, about 10 minutes to get hot water in Oct, lavatory large rust hole, water had rusty particles in it every time water turned on, Old TV and no expanded cable, no fridge, no microwave, and no breakfast. The Alpine Quality Inn was the best Quality In even better than most Comfort Inns. read more

Lobby was supposed to be open until 10:00. I called to say we were running late and woman told me to look for a silver truck out front, who would be "Mark" the security guard, if after 10.. We got there around 9:00. No silver truck. 9:15. 9:30...9:45...10:00. Just as we were thinking we'd have to sleep in our car, Mark pulled up. He knew nothing about us but let us into the lobby and gave us our key. Room was cleaner than we expected from reviews... old and needs updating. Can't believe they call it a "resort ". Maybe 50 years ago! Too expensive but you're captive since not much to choose from. read more

I came here for a two night stay the day of New Years and had the two bedroom large duplex with a kitchen. Considering that it was New Years, the pricing was pretty worth it and they gave us a big box of kitchen supplies to use. The unit was pretty basic, but comfortable and clean. Which considering we were planning on going to on a Big Bend Adventure, was totally fine with us. We weren't looking for a luxury stay of any sort. However, I'm not sure if it was a freak accident like they say but there was a huge storm that we encountered driving there and due to that there was no gas at any gas station in Alpine or Terlingua. We were very stressed about that going into big bend because we knew there was a lot to be driving done in Big Bend. The resort is 3 miles from the entrance of Big Bend National Park but there is an extra 20 miles driving to the visitor center, so watch out! Following the gas shortage of the first night, the second night there was a power outage in the whole entire park and the resort included. The hotel room was at a freezing 20-30 degrees and there was no hot water to shower with, but there was no other option. There was one place, thankfully, that had power and that was the café that's a part of big bend resorts where we were able to get food and buy some supplies. With the power outage, and gas shortage our stay became a lot more adventurous than we had planned for but they graciously offered us a 10% discount. The people working there were both nice and friendly. I would just recommend to future go-ers to avoid times with projected storms and to be prepared for the worst! read more

Thank you for being here. I'd rather be in a room with running A/C , clean fresh H20 to take a regulated temperature in and electricity to read whenever I want to. I don't think I can sleep well outdoors in a tent in May, when the Lodging at Big Bend is booked months in advance. The place is alright with attention paid to small details like the way they hang their towels, and these are thick towels, nearly brand-new, not thinned out towels from wear and tear. Pillows are regular size and nor worn out as well. The place is alright considering we're just close to a national park that attracts outdoorsy people. The staff on the 1st day of our stay was a very friendly and helpful older gentleman. I didn't get his name. My only suggestion is that you should offer a small refrigerator as an option in the future. read more

I failed to make proper plans for my Big Bend trip. At the last minute I was able to book a room at the Mission Lodge. The price and availability are appealing, but the rooms are seedy and maintained poorly. We removed the bedding and replaced them with our own. The comforter had holes and stains. The WiFi was unreliable.The check in staff are professional and pleasant. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g56758-d253249-r247490169-Mission_Lodge-Terlingua_Texas.html# read more

This "resort" is anything but. Water was only available in jugs in their office. Water at campsites only usuable for flushing toilets. Staff admits that the water problem has been persistent (office staff said only a temporary problem and only resulted in high mineral content--do not believe them). Water pipes fell apart upon first hook up attempt. Site was unlevel. Second site had broken electrical plug. Staff admits that management has refused to spend any money to maintain campground (lost repeat business, especially snow birds). In camping almost 4 months per year, this "resort" is one if the worst. read more

Fine as a motel with no expectations beyond that. Furniture feels 1980s institutional and might actually be. Beds are uncomfortable. Water pressure is poor. WiFi is close to unusable. Gave us the key to the wrong room -- thank goodness no one w was there because it was 11 pm. read more

Stayed w TT in the RV part. Rest rooms unusable - DARK & close w no windows or air, $2 for 6 min. shower if you were willing to try it. I wasn't. Decent sites but no cable, WiFi never functioned, 30 AMP electric killed our AC compressor in spite of surge protector probably due to low power. (Big rig on 50 AMP next door had one of their AC's killed too.) Big Bend NP is amazing, but the lack of amenities is a huge drawback. read more

No. Just no. I can handle old, I can handle out dated, but what I can't handle is filth. The bathroom was filthy. I have my doubts about whether the sheets had been changed. The floors creaked loudly. No. read more

Great half day raft trip in the Terilingua area. Smooth reservations, trip prep and rafting trip. The guide was awesome and made for a great experience with lunch. Can't wait to go again!! read more

Imagine our arrival seeing an empty, gravel parking lot with no picnic tables that we reserved 2 months ago at the suggestion of a reservation is saying it's nicer than the parks inside Big Bend National Park. ... not true. We are parked in a quarry, complete with fine dust on everything, Sulphur/sodium ground water, pay showers, no picnic table, mostly 30 amp sites available. No grass, but we do have a dead tree. No fires allowed. All for $25-28 per night. Nice desk people and neighors. read more

Pretty shabby. The flies in the room with numerous, and the toilet didn't flush, although they had kindly provided plunger, which after numerous flushes and 10 minutes of work did the trick. It looks like their vacuum has been broken for a long time, the restaurant is closed, and if you want ice you have to go to the store next door. I won't be back. read more

I have an RV & stayed in the RV park. The sites are gravel, have dump, electric, water, and cable hook-ups. The folks at the front desk were friendly and accommodating. They give discounts for Good Sam. The little cafe had decently priced and, TBH, surprisingly good food. Other campers were respectful and quiet. The showers are .25/min, but I didn't even attempt the campsite bathhouse; looked a little outdated. The water quality is 1000 mg/L calcium, so beware of extended stays clogging up your lines. Also, I would suggest drinking bottled water, b/c after a while, the water has a laxative effect...unless you grew up w/ it. Overall, good stay. read more

I really wish i could do a half star, i was not expecting much but for the money we paid i at least expected ok but like a few of the posts from December the room was very very dirty i came with my family for their first Big Bend experience and the images online of the room and reality are not at all accurate, it was bad enough that i had 2 nights booked and we gave up the second night to go elsewhere before spending another night in a very uncomfortable dirty bed, the place could be so much better with a few tweaks and management stating on top of things their location to Big Bend is very good. read more

Have only stayed at the RV sites. Great staff and decent sites. The grounds are clean and they are located just outside Big Bend National Park. We love Terlingua, so that's a plus, too. read more

This place is pretty legit. I mean you're talking about 5 minutes away from entrance to big bend national park. Rooms are not in the greatest condition but it's good enough. We are here for the park not to be pampered. read more
