Outstanding RV Stay in West Texas - Maverick Ranch RV Park, Lajitas…read more Texans are known for their hospitality, and the staff at The Maverick Ranch RV Park in Lajitas, TX absolutely lived up to that reputation. Friendly, polite, and helpful, they made check-in and check-out quick and informative--handing out maps with local highlights and always being available if needed. The park itself is well-equipped: * Full hookups * Spacious, pull-through RV sites * Clean bathrooms with showers * Laundry facilities * Heated pool * Paved roads and level pads for easy setup The bathrooms were consistently clean and always available--huge plus. The lodge is a real highlight. Think "Texas-sized" with multiple leather couches, a poker table, dining space, and a full kitchen. It connects to a large laundry room with plenty of machines and seating--making laundry day feel like less of a chore. Connectivity was surprisingly solid given the remote location near the Mexico border. While our hotspot struggled to get even two bars, the park's Wi-Fi came through just fine. A few tips for travelers: * There's no ice machine or propane refill on-site, but the nearby market carries both. * STOCK UP in Alpine before heading down--gas, propane, drinks, and food are all pricier here. * Most RV sites include picnic tables and fire pits. Bring your own firewood unless you want to pay $10.99 per bundle. * There's no shade, so make sure your AC and awning are ready to go to war with the sun. Exploring the area: * Lajitas is about 20 miles from Big Bend National Park--the main reason most people come. * Don't miss Terlingua Ghost Town (~15 miles away) for a fun local vibe. The Boathouse offers cheap beer, live music, and friendly locals. Nearby, High Sierra Bar & Grill has great food and seriously good chili. * For stunning scenery, drive the 50-mile stretch to Presidio--incredible views and the cheapest gas in the region. Nighttime Pro Tips: It gets pitch black out here. The park has well-marked, smooth roads with reflectors, but bring a soft flashlight and use low beams when arriving after dark. They have a no-outdoor-light policy after 9 PM--great for stargazing, so respect it and enjoy the night sky. Final Thoughts: The Maverick Ranch RV Park delivers excellent value, especially given its remote location. Yes, prices are a bit higher due to that, but the amenities, atmosphere, and proximity to Big Bend make it more than worth it. After a long day hiking or exploring, a refreshing dip in the pool is the cherry on top.

We stayed here four nights for Spring Break. We enjoyed the site, it was clean and quiet. The kids…read moreloved the heated pool. Everything we needed was here. The laundry facilities were fine...I just wish they had coin machines as the office was closed so I had to drive to the hotel and buy rolls from the front desk. Wi-Fi was mostly good. A little spotty. Cell service was 1 bar, but it worked. It was nice that we could charge stuff back to our "room." It was a great stay! Thank you.

Awful place! We had a reservation to charge our EV. The lady working on the day we called assured…read moreus there'd be no problem with charging our car here at the RV park while we stayed next door. When we arrived, he told us we weren't allowed to stay because he'd changed his policy on EV's since making my reservation less than a week and a half ago! He was rude, but that was fine, the place was run down anyway and I didn't want my new car around this type of place anyway. So, I immediately left a one star review on another site documenting my factual experience. A bit later, when I'd already found two places that agreed to let me charge nearby, the owner started texting me inappropriate and threatening messages telling me to "go back to where I came from," and worse. I uploaded those images so that other potential customers can see how unprofessional the owner is. Stay away if you value your safety!

The owner had to re-arrange several reservations to get us a site we'd not have to change during our almost 2-week stay. The nice, wide drive-in area is so dusty that whenever a disrespectful guest pulls in or pulls out everybody gets a dust shower. Now, when you consider where it is located in Study Butte/Terlingua, no RV Park here can beat it because of the dust issues and the wonderful views. I posted this if you are considering coming here from somewhere beyond the desert, you'll not find a nicer campground other than in the Chisos basin. And those are not so nice because they are so close together. They just aren't dusty. Final word: when you come to the desert, you going to get some dust. But I love it here

I stayed in the General Store and these loud mouth people stayed in the adjoined Gun Store. It was a Jack and Jill rental. When they left the room the dog would yelp non-stop. When they returned they would yelp non-stop. What an experience. We left the big city of Austin on a vacation seeking a peaceful escape to enjoy some stargazing, and this is what we got. Don't get me wrong, I'm a dog owner but I left him with family just so I didn't have to worry about this. This place should rethink their pet policy and do something about the light pollution coming from the common dining area and illuminating the General Store.

Close, close, CLOSE to BBNP - so it was perfect for our four days of hiking in the park, great base camp spot - roughly 45 minutes to the Chisos Basin trailheads (helped us get early starts at Lost Mine and South Rim). The cabins themselves are new, modern, tidy, clean and comfortable - two have indoor plumbing now, it's coming to the third, and all have lovely sun decks / outdoor kitchens with refrigerator and propane stovetop grills, furnished with dishes, silverware, pots / pans, etc. The cabins are off-grid, so you can't just blast the solar-powered AC all day; we hiked and/or hung out in the daytime, back to the cabin for the fantastic nighttime views (LOTS of stars in the DARK West Texas skies) - meteors, stars, owl hoots, occasional coyote call. Katie and Brian are great hosts, dropped in to check on us, gave great trail tips, ALWAYS made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. If you're looking for quiet, beautiful spot near BBNP for a base camp, you can't do better than this. One last note; lots of other cabins in the area are IN Terlingua - like inside the town limits and right off the main highway, which isn't awful because there's not much traffic after hours. But those other spots don't have the westward sunset views, probably not the darker skies you get at Arboles Muertos, and DEFINITELY not the blooming Ocotillo and cactuses we were treated to at this spot (we got out there after some good rains). Go and enjoy this lovely, lovely place!! P.S. the cabins are in Study Butte, NOT Alpine (which is about 80 miles north).
