Have only stayed at the RV sites. Great staff and decent sites. The grounds are clean and they are located just outside Big Bend National Park. We love Terlingua, so that's a plus, too. read more

This place is pretty legit. I mean you're talking about 5 minutes away from entrance to big bend national park. Rooms are not in the greatest condition but it's good enough. We are here for the park not to be pampered. read more

Poor water pressure at Rv site but if you want to use their showers it is $2 for 6 minutes.

A good spot to explore into Big Bend national Park. Campground was overall clean. Restrooms should be checked in a bit more often, not dirty but not clean either. The sites are a bit close together but you have just a little bit of space. Water electric and sewer hook up. We stayed here the beginning of April 2016. Park was quiet, coffee in the hotel lobby as well as a pool table and some games. We stayed three nights no problems. The staff was very helpful in giving us some ideas for meals close by Pretty typical for the area. If you are looking for a special RV park this is not it. You stay here to travel into Big Bend. That is why you stay here. More space in than Rio Grande RV Village with in the park. read more

Ugh - these people cannot figure out their credit card system - when I reserved the rooms, they made me put down a deposit on my card. However, when we went to pay the full bill at the end of our stay, we wanted to use a different card. They ran our newer card, but still charged the original card. Now I have to call them and deal with it, again. They lose a star for this inconvenience alone. Large selection of rooms, campsites, and RV sites. Price is good, location is great. The water is typical Terlingua water - sulfur and soft. Wifi on east side of highway only. West side is an older motel that was bought by this company and turned into the pet and smoking rooms. Stars were fantastic and our view of the mountains was very nice. read more

Safer than sleeping in the desert covered in bacon. I stayed one night, but it was after three nights of camping with tarantulas, bears, and rattlesnakes. Don't get me wrong, we had a great time, but it was time for a flushing toilet and hot shower. They had both of those and cold air conditioning. Before I go any further, I want you to know that I had my expectations set for a hot shower, a bed, and a flushing toilet. All of my expectations were met. It did take a while to get the hot water to the shower, but it happened. The beds reminded me of a Ramada from 1980, but it was way softer than the rock under the mat I was sleeping on the past three nights. We had been camping on a friend's property out in the desert, and we had guns with us, not that it means anything to the review, except my rooms door lock broken. I called the front desk and they were there within ten minutes to fix it. That was really impressive. Also, the guy at the front desk let us check in early, way early actually. You are very close to Big Bend National Park. You are very close to the few restaurants in Terlingua. There is a gas station/café within walking distance. TLDR, hot showers, flushing toilet, cold AC, friendly and fast employees, if you are willing to save some money, and just sleep here, its totally worth it!! read more

This is one of the worst rv camp grounds ive been to. Done Alaska from Arizona and more. Not cheap, then very limited wifi, no cable, and u have to pay for a shower?? Oh well its a captive place , not much choice. Robert read more

I was concerned about some of the reviews left for the RV Park before booking. We waited until the last minute and this was our choice. We loved it. Plenty of space, friendly staff and zero problems. It's definitely not a "resort", but it's Big Bend. Great views as well. I didn't like that they want $2 for a 6 min shower, but that's why they have full hook ups. Wasn't a problem for my family. Will definitely return. read more

This isn't a bad last choice. Sometimes you just need a bed and it doesn't matter if the walls are paper thin.

Cheap stay and you get what you pay for....except when you expect the bathroom cleaned, sink/mirror wiped and possibly the carpet vacuumed (or even swept) once a day. Minuses- Dirty, fly filled room, carpet was marred with years of crud. Bathroom had not been cleaned in days or possibly months. No water pressure but if you could wait long enough it did get warm. Cracked tiles and missing crusty grout, dirt filled corners and the hardest lumpiest bed I have ever slept in. The air conditioner was like a locomotive running through the room but it did work....we stayed in November so it didn't have a big job to do. Pluses- close to the park, cheap and available over the holiday. Raul at the desk was helpful for where to eat and which restaurant was open for b/l/d, and which liquor store was the cheapest. Would I stay there again??? shoulder shrug...if nothing else was available in my price range....maybe. read more

The location is great and the staff is very friendly and it's better than no room at all. However, the manager is rude, unprofessional and abusive to staff and guests. The rooms are in dire need of maintenance. Toilet didn't flush, tub was filthy, bed was a sack of lumps, and tv was a dinosaur. The place has real potential but is very poorly managed. Definitely not up to the Forever Resorts corporate standards. They need to come see this property and bring it up to their usual standard. Replacing the on site manager would be a great start. read more

I would not stay here again. Cost $109/night over Thanksgiving. 1. Stain on side of box springs 2. Mattress so used it was sunk in on the most used side. 3. Sheets a dingy shade of white. 4. Shower curtain had black mold growing on it. 5. TV was not working upon arrival. Desk clerk condescending when ask for help with TV. 6. Wifi password did not work. 7. Unimproved gravel parking lot. No amenities. One picnic table not within eye site and deteriorated. 8. Water quality poor. I wouldn't drink it. Thank goodness I brought drinking water for the trips into BBNP. 9. Blinds broken and had to be manually adjusted for privacy. Dead bugs in the window sill. 10. Price of lodging exceeds quality. On the plus side. Its very close to the entrance to BBNP and Old Terlingua. There are a couple of decent restaurants close by. This could be an awesome property if someone cared to make it so. read more

The resort it's self isn't bad as far as conditions- we stayed in a duplex that had a mini kitchen - we weren't offered pans at the front desk as stated on the website- also only had one roll of toilet paper for four people for a week. House keeping was a hard to track down as they are on golf carts driving all over the place. The man at the lobby didn't have any extra. The beds were horrible. We let the kids sleep on the roll away couch as it was slightly more comfortable. We almost left early due to the stiff back pains from the bed. The closet Wal-Mart is 100 miles away as the thought of buying an foam egg crate crossed our minds. I would not stay here again unless I had my own camper or an air mattress- didn't see any critters in the rooms. Bring extra trash bags also btw room 42 the bathroom door sticks and does not close all the way unless you karate kick it which makes a loud night noise - they have only two small cans in the room read more

Overall the stay was terrible. I attempted to reach out to the campground 20+ times in the days before my arrival to ask questions about the facilities that were not specified online. Many amenities were listed and not actually available. Upon arrival I was told that their phones were not working and that was why. The WiFi they provided us with did not work anywhere on the campground (which they were aware of when we asked them about it). The tent sites were poorly maintained and inadequately stocked with tables and grills. There was absolutely no protection from wind or elements. There were many empty RV spots and we asked to upgrade and move our tent to one of those sites (we would be willing to pay). We were told that wasn't allowed and when I said I saw many other tents in those slots they brushed me off. Prices for gas and goods in the store were jacked up to take advantage of people coming through. Bathrooms were dirty and not well maintained. Each individual thing was not bad on its own, but all added together it made the stay uncomfortable. Will not return and suggest you try finding a different place to tent camp. read more

1.5 stars. Geeeeesh, I mean I hate to give bad reviews but this property could be so much more and they don't even try. We stayed here on a whim cause didn't wanna drive to Alpine, Texas "about 75/90 miles north" and Terlingua Hotel/Motels where all booked. The room rate was $89, which isn't bad but for the quality of the place and the lack of amenities. Rooms "at least ours was TINY" AC barely blowed a whisper of cool air. Can cranked at full speed and it's 101° outside as I review this place. WIFI only in the lobby area that closes at 10:00.........shower head height is about 4'11" high. I'm not tall guy but when I have to bend down to wash hair. It's annoying. Not to mention the water pressure. Maybe give them the benefit of doubt and say the water lines where clogged and only minimal water was passing thru. This place should easily be booking rooms at $24.99-39.99 a night and on busy holiday weekend maybe $59.99-74.99 nothing more than that. Hopefully they can work on some things and get this place up too par read more

The price is right at this place. You get what you pay for. The room is reasonably clean. Reasonable with consideration of the environment. There will be dirt and there will likely be bugs. We had a lot of flies, a few moths, and a baby roach in the tub. There's internet in the cafe and lobby ONLY. Don't be fooled! The location is great and the staff are friendly. The beds are clean and the AC works great. Hot water anytime you need it too. read more

We had been wanting to go to Big Bend for some time now so we booked a trip and didn't really read any reviews until it was almost time for the trip. I have to say I was a little scared after the horrible reviews people have left but upon arrival I was impressed. Yes, the place is a little older and no they don't have modern fixtures or furniture but I came to play in Big Bend not spend a lot of time in my room. It is the perfect spot to sleep, shower, and get ready for your big bend adventures. If we are able to make it back to BBNP we will be staying here again. They also allow dogs which is nice. It is super convenient to the park about a 5-10 minute drive to the entrance. If you don't want to camp I would recommended this place. read more

This place has a lot of bad reviews, but honestly it's not that bad! As one of the cheapest lodging options in the Big Bend area, I was not expecting a five star hotel, and was satisfied with what I got. The motel across the street from the main hotel has pet friendly rooms, which I appreciated with a pup along for the trip, and the folks at the check in counter were friendly and gave great travel information about the area. The room was not fancy and was definitely dated, but it was clean and comfortable and was great for one, inexpensive night. It's a 10 minute drive to the Ghost Town, and is convenient to both Big BendNational Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. I would totally stay here again. read more

Pay no attention to the negative reviews. The lodging inside the park was booked for over a month and this was the CLOSEST lodge to the park. Yes it is basic accommodations, but your visiting Big Bend National Park. All any visitor should need is a shower, a head and a rack. No cooking is allowed inside the room, and there is no microwave or refrigerator. Had an amazing view outside my room and when I was there I left the blinds or door open. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and gas was reasonably priced for being out in the middle of no where and was cheaper than fuel sold at two stations inside the National Park. Also the restaurant was also reasonably priced and I had a hamburger and chicken strips, which were both delicious. If your like me and come back for a break to relax, you may consider bringing a DVD player with RCA cables, and some movies. Also, if you have the room and a good quality large capacity cooler, I would suggest bringing Back up ice with you. At home a 20# bag of ice will run you $1.25, and bags of aprox 8# ice will run you around $2.50. I took a 60qt Yeti that I had stocked with drinks and food that needed to be refrigator Tuesday evening, and I left Wednesday morning. By Fri I had to buy a small bag of ice to restock my cooler with average temp in morning of 35degrees and in the evening of 60-65 degrees. Overall, majority of visitors, myself included will spend the vast majority of the day exploring the park. You don't need a 5 star Hilton, when you get back and are exhausted. I will be back and will recommend this lodge to friends and family. read more

I would not stay here again. Cost $156/night before Christmas day. Conveniently located, has the cafe, gas and washer/dryers. The motel lodge was worst than any motel I had ever stayed in my life and I travel a lot. -Mattress so used it was sunk in many sides of the bed sides. Two beds with the same problem. -Sheets were tiny. -Bathroom was not clean/pull out trash -Refrigerator did not close the door. - Wifi service was not good. - Price of lodging exceeds quality. -Very close to Big bend and Terlingua. -Phone service no available in the area -We knew the motel will be open until 10 pm. I called the reservation service and they provided me the phone number for the direct room. Called to make sure they knew I will be late. -Another couple arrived two days later and arrived at 11pm. When we called from my room to the main office, the service was not forwarded so unclear if the other couple found the manager, They went to talk to the sheriff. -Really hard to value this location as there are no many other options in the area. read more

This motel offers strictly basic accommodations. Rooms are large but bathroom was cramped and had loose fixtures. Basically what I expected way out in the desert like this. Wifi was spotty, even near the office. Staff are all nice people. read more

Well, long story short, this place is pretty rough. We stayed in one of the duplexes, and seriously- it was grimy. I hesitated to sit on the couch because it looked like it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned since 1984. Or ever, for that matter. The whole place needed to be deep cleaned, and a lot of the 'amenities' were in dire shape. For a few bucks more, I could have stayed somewhere that better reflects the beauty of the Big Bend area. Lesson learned. read more

I give this motel 3 stars simply because we had an amazing view of mountains and the sunset. If you'd like that view, you have to request it when making your reservation. The room itself, however, was less than subpar. The room was neat and seemed clean enough when we arrived. One issue was the loud AC unit. It was ridiculously loud and disturbed the quiet natural environment. When we first arrived the coffee pot was missing the entire filter/coffee holder spot. There were loads of bugs in the lighting fixture. The wifi was terrible in our room. It definitely is not a top notch hotel, but it served it's purpose. Also, there was no mini fridge or microwave in our room and we were not allowed to cook in the room. I believe there are rooms with those accommodations, but they cost a little more. We knew we would be out most of the day so we vouched for cheap. There is only one cafe to eat at in town and one gas station. I would suggest getting gas in Alpine because the one gas station near the motel is quite expensive. read more

One star for at least being clean. We were desperate for a place to stay near Big Bend. Our first mistake was to call National Parks Reservations which turns out is not affiliated with the national Park system in anyway. Telling us there was only limited availability we were booked into Big Bend resorts and aventures. The rate was $145 per day and national parks takes another 10% per day commission. It took about 15 minutes to get checked in. With only two people in front of us at the check-in line, the clerk behind the desk moved like a turtle, would walk off for a while, and could care less that the waiting line was getting longer and longer. We were told we would be getting a "deluxe" room. What a joke... And a bad one at that. Paper thin walls, poor amenities, lousy TV, Wi-Fi that didn't work, frayed bath towels, etc etc. Avoid this place at all costs, and don't use National Parks Reservations. read more

This hotel is so nasty! I understand you're supposed to be enjoying the nature, but I at least expect for my bathtub to not contain pubic hair, or the tub faucet to be connected to the wall. The room smelled disgusting, the toilet wasn't connected to the floor so when you sit down it moves, the door handle barely worked, I could hear any and everything from the 3 surrounding rooms! Yes 3! You can hear the room to the right, left, and behind you! If you're expecting a clean hotel do not come here! It's disgusting they need new housekeepers! read more

Have stayed here several times over the last 10 years but this will be my last. The place has deteriorated considerably and is really no longer an option for accommodations. It's really quite dirty and beyond just "tired". The towels looked worse than what most people would use for washing the car or dog with. They were tattered and frayed. The tub was filthy and the toilet was, too. It is in desperate need of a complete remodel and remake. read more

This place is a rip off and totally gross. The first thing I found was a used and still damp towel from the previous occupant on the back of the bathroom door. And don't assume you can go barefoot in your room - the carpet hasn't seen a vacuum in years and there is stuff that will stick to the bottoms of your feet. The walls of the rooms are paper thin, so I hope you don't mind hearing your neighbor snore like a freight train or blast their tv. read more

This is the worst $100 per night hotel I have ever experienced. Small, spartan room, which smelled horribly like rotten eggs. There was not enough water pressure in the sink to wash your hands and NO hot water. Very disappointed. Moved over to the Chisos Mt Mining Company. Larger room for less money and much nicer staff. Oh, and hot water and no rotten egg smell. read more

Where to start!! The bed is uncomfortable, the air conditioning unit could drown the sound of a commercial airliner, and the party/bikers outside our window make me feel like I'm in a very loud country bar! In short, avoid this place! It is awful! No sleep to be found here! read more

Stay here if you like stains and the hotel staff stealing your stuff. I accidentally left one of my favorite jackets in the room, a fairly expensive one, called the next day and nobody knew anything. Just vanished into thin air I suppose. There aren't many options in this area but I would implore you to try anything else. read more

room was soooo dirty. hair on my pillow, mold on the shower curtain and washbasin. toilet paper hanger broke off wall when i pulled paper off... mirror was dirty, everything needed to be re-cauked. easy stuff to fix, cleaning staff just doesn't care. but they have a pool table in the lobby!!!! ok, it was falling apart and lopsided, but still.... read more

This place is absolutely disgusting. Carpet was never vacuumed for one. The toilet was broken, forcing me to remove the lid and manually flush every time it was used. The water is scalding hot, and I mean it. There is also a strong smell of sewage when you step outside. I guess when you're in the middle of nowhere you don't really have to try at all. read more

Small town with small town motel. I would not call this a resort. It was adequate but certainly nothing special. The toilet paper holder kept hitting me in the shoulder when I was trying to use the bathroom. The staff were pleasant. If I return to Big Bend I will try someplace else. read more

I wish I could split the "star" recommendation. Patrick, the clerk who assisted us with checking in was absolutely great during our 3 day visit. He's familiar with the area and gave us a lot of useful information on places to see in Big Bend National Park. He has a semi dry sense of humor that you appreciate quickly. Unfortunately, the lodging facilities don't match Patrick's personally. While reasonably spacious, the room falls well short of the price they charge. Other than a phone and a tv in the room there no amenities; no hair dryer, mini fridge, or microwave. Oh, there was a small Mr. Coffee pot there. Housekeeping gave us fresh towels each day and the bed covers were at least straightened up, but that's about it. It's an extremely dusty area, but it would have been nice if they would have swept the floor daily. And it only took about 5 minutes for the tub to drain after showering. This was essentially a 1960's motel at current day prices. Unfortunately, there are no other options. A single holding company owns all of the lodging in the area so you're pretty much stuck with what is available. read more

Nice park, great to have horse riding a few steps away, smelly when the wind blows the wrong way. Nice distance from Big Bend.

VERY NOISY. Walls are paper thin. Better than sleeping in your car. Tiny. Old. Big cracks around the doors easily let the critters in.

Probably the most filthy and run down hotel we have ever stayed in. Not to mention grossly overpriced. However, food at the restaurant was pretty good. If you need a hotel in the area, I would strongly suggest making reservations as far in advance as possible and stay at the Big Bend NP Lodge. read more

Stayed two nights in RV Park. Dusty, uneven sites. No wifi, no cable. Desk manager is rude. Hey, this place exists for one event a year each November, so don't expect much. read more

My wife and I travel all over and are frequently limited in hotel choices because we like to travel with our small dog. They do accept pets, but those rooms are in a different building across the street. Our room reeked of dog urine. They apparently don't use the pet fee ($10/night) to regularly clean the carpet, or replace the small 10x10 patch of it, when needed. Rooms were in generally poor condition otherwise, but everything was functional. There were rats (or other small rodents) inside the wall between the bathroom and main area. I could clearly hear them scratching around when the Air Conditioner would cycle off. Rooms were; you could hear neighbors talking easily in the next room, when the A/C wasn't running. Lots of roaches right outside the room door; surprised none made it inside (that we noticed) because there was about a 1/4 inch gap in the door near the bottom. The view from outside was nice, as is almost every view from this town. It is very conveniently located to the Big Bend National Park entrance, just a couple of miles down the road. No Wi-Fi available in the pet friendly rooms across road from main hotel. read more
