If they had been honest about the condition of the park I would have given it a 7. The views are very good. Restrooms and laundry are clean and nice. Sites are very large with services in the appropriate spots. The pads are gravel but nicely compacted. There was one other camper in the park, which may explain the run down feeling of the place. The negatives. The pool was filthy. There were little things swimming around in it. They raked the pool when we mentioned things were living in it, but they should have shocked it. It's away from the park, but it's not a bad drive. The WiFi is non-existent. You can see their hot spot, but there is no real connection to the Internet. Our air card worked well but it was a slow connection. The bar and restaurant in the resort were so-so. Would not eat or drink there again. A high spot of the trip was a recommendation from a local. It is called La Kiva and features food, drink and a fantastic guitar player and singer. It's in Terlingua, just after the turn to Lajitas. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice facilities near Big Bend National Park & the RV park is park of Lajitas Resort & Spa. The restrooms, laundry, and pool area were very nice but lightly occupied during our 3 night stay in Feb. You can use the facilities at the resort located a short distance away and there is a very nice restaurant. Resort overlooks the Rio Grande River. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our first time here. It is a quiet campground with spectacular scenery and sunsets. It is the only park in the area with grass, so blowing dust is not a problem. There are some windy days, but most are quiet. We have not seen the ants that a previous reviewer mentioned. The new owner has plans to do upgrades and repairs. Some sites do not have working electricity, but the camp host was very helpful in guiding us to an appropriate site. In the hotel area there is a surprisingly good restaurant and cocktail lounge, and there are movies on weekend evenings. There is a small grocery store, and other shops. The nearest supermarket is in Alpine, 97 miles away, so you will want to stock up before you come. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will be back again next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were one of only 4 rigs each of the 2 nights we stayed there. While there was an office on site at the RV park it is not in use, you had to go up the hill and across the street to check-in or get any information. We pulled in late the first night and had no idea where to go so we just pulled into the first available site. This site had ants larger than I've ever seen anywhere, and their bite is just as bad. We then moved to another site where we stayed, but when we let the folks in the front office know that their water spouts were leaking on both sides (just as a courtesy to them-it didn't bother us), we were informed that site was closed for maintenance. There are no trees large enough to provide even a hint of shade (temperatures were 116 and 118 the 2 days we were there) and the wind is ferocious so don't consider putting your awning out. Although there is a swimming pool on the rv park grounds it wasn't clean enough to swim in. Lajitas is quite a distance from the entrance to Big Bend National park, but right next to the entrance to Big Bend State Park. Terlingua is where all the tours are out of and is at least 16 miles from Lajitas with all the winds and curves which slow you down tremendously when you're trying to get anywhere. The nearest gas station is in Terlingua with gas at approximately $.25 cents more than what you can find in Alpine. The Far Flung Outdoor tour Camp 360 was awesome and so informational! I would recommend that if you aren't partaking in alot of the activities at the resort like the spa or golf, stay in Terlingua. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We also just returned from the Lajitas - Maverick Ranch RV Park. It was very good. If you have stayed at others in Big Bend you will appreciate the lack of dust. All sites were good - I don't know if there is a bad site. Great scenery from every site. Their map shows 101 sites and that 35 are currently working. You are a guest of the hotel and can use all the resort activities. We did a wine tasting and a Fossil Seminar - all at no cost. Not every site has cable. Maybe that will change when they get all the sites operating. No WiFi at the RV Sites. I got a good signal outside the hotel office. My AT&T cellular phone worked at the RV Site. Register at the Hotel Office first and they will give you a map of the working sites. It will save you a lot of time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Note: The name of the RV Park is "Maverick Ranch" and it is part of the Lajitas Resort. We stayed at Maverick Ranch for 3 nights on our trip to Big Bend National Park. We found the RV park to be nice, but in need of a little maintenance. Please don't take this the wrong way, the site is not run down, but some of the hook up stations needed a little work. We stayed in site 82 and had no problems with water, power and cable TV. One of the other people we met there said they had to move to a different site due to a power issue at their first site. The common building with the showers and bathrooms was immaculate. The pool area and porch around it was gorgeous. There were about 15 other RVs there in addition to us. All of the sites are level, the majority of them are pull through. The views of the surrounding mountains are great. It is a great place to watch the sun go down in the evening. We also found the location to be excellent. It is about a 30 minute drive into Big Bend National Park. The Lajitas resort changed ownership recently and they opened up the RV area to any RV. The previous management team had restricted access to Class A rigs only. As for RV parks near Big Bend I believe this is the best. We looked at the other parks in Study Butte and Terlingua and they looked pitiful compared to Lajitas. Our stay here was problem free and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Big Bend. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The name of this park is Maverick Ranch RV Park, not Lajitas Resort and the website listed has no information on the RV park. It is a forgotten part of the resort and the new owners/managers of the resort seem intent to keep it that way. They do have a pool but it is not accessible as there is no on-site management to open the gates and no security to ward off looters. You are definitely on your own! You register nearly a mile away at the hotel office and it appeared that the few that stayed overnight simply didn't bother to register. The place is obviously the victim of a long and persistent looting campaign as everything of value is gone including the picnic tables, the laundry room equipment and, it appears, much of the office equipment. The place could be beautiful but is instead a neglected tragedy. About half of the sites are back-ins and many of those are not level at all from side to side. Some interest and TLC could make this very remote park a gem but it doesn't look like that will happen. Until things change, we won't be here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is part of the Lajitas Resort which is a 5-star resort featuring a "Leading Hotels of the World" hotel built to resemble an old western town. The RV park is a well kept secret, but is beautiful with large sites with level concrete pads. It has a few picnic tables scattered among the sites. When we stayed there the water system was not working (which was not a problem for us) but all of the other hookups were. Therefore we (and a trailer) had the entire park to ourselves. The resort offers lots of amenities including a gourmet restaurant (Ocotillo) a family movie theater, general store and a great golf course with a 19th hole across the Rio Grande River in Mexico (you won't get your ball back.)Be sure and drive the Big Bend State Park road along the Rio Grande, it had some of the best view in the area. The sunset over the Mexican mountains was beautiful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
