I like how there's a sign that says, "No Diving." Yea right. It's pretty close to Mexico. The Pecos intersects with the Rio Grande a few miles from here. It's a nice spot to get out and take a gander. It'd be nice if there was a restroom. But there's trash cans, and a bunch of graffiti and litter. It's a good place to make comments about how you're the best so-and-so this side of the Pecos! Yehaw! I've heard that Pecos Bill is from around here. It's a good spot to stop and take a gander or two, but that's about it.

Why, the highest highway bridge in Texas, that's what! Originally built in 1923, the bridge was washed away from flood waters in 1954. It was rebuilt and now stands tall and proud. The bridge is 1,310 feet long and stands more than 270 feet above the water, which is now controlled by Lake Amistad levels. A rest area on the South side of the river and road exists, and is kept in good repair. My mother and I enjoyed sitting up there looking over the river while eating our lunch and watching the very occasional vehicle cross the river. I even got to see a road-runner up there, which is not something you see everyday (well, I don't... I just see alligators down here in Florida!)

This week, 2023, I was riding solo and wanted to make reservations. I saw the reviews for "Whispering Palms" and booked one night. Once I arrived, I realized this was the place we had stayed at on our last trip a few years ago through Del Rio. It's clean, the staff was friendly. The free breakfast was nothing to write home about but it hit the spot. It's a locally owned place, not a chain. It appears to be more of a blue-collar place. There were several work vehicles, I assumed working in the area for extended periods.

If you're planning a trip to the Del Rio area, I'd absolutely recommend staying here. It was a great experience all around.

You can buy stuff 24/7 and do a self-checkout to your room or to a credit card. The rooms are not only spacious and new, but also have a modern and stylish decor. I was surprised to find such a pleasant establishment here in the middle of nowhere. The quality of service and amenities here are much better than what I usually encounter in high traffic areas.There is a free breakfast that is available in the morning too. Nothing too much on this front but certainly enough to get your day started. No doubt about the five stars here. No this is not a high end hotel, so I am not comparing it to that end of the spectrum. However, for what it is on top of where it is, you are not going to find better than this!

This time, we brought our RV. Our stay was equally nice. Very peaceful, quiet atmosphere. We saw beautiful deer roaming around, sometimes in large herds. This place is very family and pet friendly as well. "Susy " the office receptionist and "Kurt" the gentleman that runs Fort Clark are very friendly and helpful. If you love nature and the beauty of it, stop by here. They have RV spots and hotel rooms. Only thing is, there is no WiFi nor cable in the RV areas all other hookups are provided (water/electricity/sewer). There is walking trail, museum, fresh spring swimming pool, golf course, laundry area and daily activities throughout each month. Highly recommend !

We had two cats and our dog in the car. We tried to cross the border but we had an issue w a title for an atv that we were transporting and we couldn't cross. We found ourselves stuck in del rio tx w our pets. The mainstream downtown hotels were booked. We were recommended to call champions by another hotel because champions was pet friendly. Mario not only had a room, but he helped us find a storage solution for our atv and we were able to pass the border the following day. No other hotel would have helped strangers solve a problem like this. Mario has only owned the hotel for three months and there is no doubt that the hotel needs work. It was not a luxury hotel but it was a solution and it was delivered personally by a great owner. We didn't need luxury. We needed solutions. We've got to make a second trip to get more of our things moved down to Mexico. We will definitely stop by the champions inn on the next trip. Champions is not in the downtown area of del rio which we actually liked. We had plenty of space for our pets to rest peacefully before a very long travel day.

Free breakfast was pretty darned good, beyond continental for sure. Location is right by the mall and near some good places to eat.
