It's a short walk to a great town full of wild transplants with even wilder stories...
As for the park itself, I spent almost every night at the fire pit (where we were given free wood nightly) in the adobe courtyard. Met bikers and families and other travelers many nights, others locals would come over and we'd all exchange stories as to how we arrived at this middle-of-nowhereland.
While the RV park itself isn't much, there is a little cafe that is randomly open on the property, and a pirate radio station. While there, we were given access to program the station however we'd like, which was pretty much the coolest thing ever.
Marathon itself is a constantly changing town. We've visited on several occasions. Sometimes there was a cute little coffee shop open, other times the owners had sold it and moved on. Same for various bars and other restaurants. The Gauge hotel offers a free driving range complete with putting green to anyone who wants to stop by (not at the hotel itself, but on the other side of town from the RV Park).
The owner, Danny, at the RV Park treated us literally like family, especially my son.
And while the train is very loud, and I could see how that could DEFINITELY annoy people, we got used to it and had fun leaving pennies on the tracks to get flattened...
Definitely not for everyone, but I am in love with Marathon. I don't remember what the nightly rate is, but our monthly rate was $300 and some change.

We left here early -- the train noise was out of hand, and it was just a parking lot at the hotel, so we left and headed to Marfa. There are a few places to eat and some bars in town, but no laundromat and you need to get gas way before you get there!
