The only thing available for a big rig close to Big Bend, and that makes it worth the trouble. That is the only thing. Male staff are rude. We didn’t get the reserved FHU we paid for because it was too muddy, we were treated like this was our fault alone. While pulling in we were told “just stop before you do more damage”, should have left right then. Put us in an electric only spot in a different lot and continued to treat us like we were not welcome. Felt like a horror movie.

BBNP is humongous, but the temps near 100F kept us in the truck instead of out on the trails. We would recommend a drive to Terlingua and the Chili Pepper Inn for some great Mexican food.

It was a big gravel lot. The power was set so 2 neighboring units would be very close. Not aesthetically pleasing. Did have all the utilities. Works as a base camp to explore Big Bend or store your trailer while rafting. WiFi only at the store. Did not use any of the public spaces, like showers.

We stayed for 5 nights and the location was just okay. Amenities were the biggest perk: laundry, convenience store there, gas station there (for cheaper than they had at the next closest station). But the place itself was run down and the people were rude and unwelcoming. I wouldn’t stay again.

We stayed in the “Strip” area and the sites were level and open. Located on lightly traveled road. Few others in the area so it was quiet but if full there could be a lot of noise. No cell service but RV park had WiFi. Low lights so night sky was wonderful. Easy access to Big Bend.

First of all, I want to be sure I don’t sound like one of those people who complain that the beach was too sandy, or the forest had too many trees. Camping in the desert is going to be hot in the daytime. There is no shade. Stillwell RV Park fits into that category. The “strip” is basically a big gravel lot. There were no tables or shelters. We had 30 amp service and water. There were three RVs there including us, with room for many more. The people we had contact with were very nice. There is gas available at the office but no diesel fuel. The big plus is it is located just outside Big Bend National Park. I think every RV Park within a couple of hundred miles is going to be about the same. If you’re looking for a pool or other amenities, this place ain’t it. It is what it is - convenient.

Store and staff were nice. Don’t plan on streaming videos or uploading your latest Vlog, but WiFi will allow you to check your email or weather with a little patience. Cell coverage was nonexistent, another plus.

As much as we enjoy dry camping in Big Bend, having full hook ups when it's hot is nice!
The RV Park is separated into three different camping areas. The two locations nearest the store; also your check-in location, offer full hook ups. However, be careful when you book as not all the sites have 50amp service. The larger lot across the street is their partial hook up area, as well as dry camping and tent sites.
If you love being near people, you will appreciate how close you are to your neighbors in full hook ups side (very close together). Parking on the full hookup sides can be an issue as the sites are not long or wide enough to accommodate trailer and tow vehicle for 30ft+. If you have a larger RV with slides you may want to book end sites.
The partial hook up/dry camping sections (known as The Strip) will offer the most spacious camping option. There is a dump station close by with non-potable water available for flushing out your black tank.
The park has two washers and dryers available for guest use at $1.25 to wash and $1 to dry. There is a small store on site and the museum is a great piece of history and worth taking the time to explore.
BE AWARE if you need to work online service the FREE WIFI is not good enough to support your needs. We were able to get some service at our site, it was barely enough to check email and occasionally surf social media. The signal dropped often and the lack of bandwidth made us unplug from reality and enjoy our surroundings.
Friends of ours could not get sufficient service even with expensive boosters to work remotely, and had to take the daily 40 minute drive to Marathon during working hours.
Note: Inside Big Bend there are stretches where you will have some 3G and 4G service on AT&T.
Come prepared with food and basic needs as there isn't much shopping available even in Marathon. If you do find yourself craving a night out Brick Vault Brewery and Barbecue in Marathon won't disappoint. The park entrance at Persimmon Gap is 20 min away, Panther Junction is an additional 30 min drive.
