It's very quiet, has great views and amazing stargazing!! The family that runs the campground is very nice and extremely helpful! I was in a bit of a situation with my vehicle while I was there. I didn't realize my car was low on oil, I started panicking and didn't know where I could get some or if my car could make it to town. Guy (the owner) kindly helped me out of this situation! Like I said, I highly recommend this place!! Amazing family and community!!! Thank you, guy, for such a wonderful experience and saving the day!!!

We found Rancho Topanga just googling tent campsites and are so happy we did. The property has…read moregorgeous views, lots of cacti (my favorite). All the sites had a picnic table, a faucet with running water, dumpsters and some had a canopy so bring your own if you're unsure if yours does. Also a ring for fire pit is included but bring your own firewood! Best of all their showers have hot water, we were here in January so it got chilly at sundown. Toilets have a heater inside and the sink to wash dishes or your hands also has hot water. Affordable and very quick drive to Big Bend!

Unfortunately, we have a 34 foot motor coach and it is so unlevel. we have to put the wheels off the ground to level it on site 19. But cannot. complain. 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

Nice setting helpful at front desk when we got there. Sights are level and in good shaperead more

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!

We had a reservation to camp here a couple weeks ago and came in a rented RV. I have never really…read moreRV camped before so I asked the owner a few questions (I think his name was Leo or Leon?) and he was pretty rude to me in front of my family, telling us we should "figure out this shit before camping out". I think this guy might have been drinking since he was pretty rude and not very customer friendly. I rented the RV because I wanted to learn the ropes and get advice from experienced RVers before buying one. The first thing I learned is to not come back to this RV park. The second thing I learned is that others should take their business elsewhere.

Really enjoyed our stay at the "Little Dipper". Very cute cabins, with a very nice view of the…read moremountains. There are a couple of chairs by the fire pit, in front of the cabin. We had a great time watching the stars. Not exactly a dark sky, but still beautiful. The air/heater worked great as well as the small coffee pot and mini fridge. There was a curtain to cover the front door. No locks on the door. We didn't have any issues. Also there is a ceiling "cover" to make the it darker, if you wish to do that. Place was clean, as well as the common bathroom and showers.

If you like peace, solitude, dark skies, open space, and privacy, Tin Valley is the place for you…read more We spent 5 nights there and Ronda the owner was a wonderful host. There are only 8 sites and each site has electrical hooks up for both 50 amps and 30 amps. Ronda brought us water one evening and has a honey wagon as needed. A wonderful place to stay if you want to visit Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua, and see the darkest skies in the country. We'll have to return with the appropriate cameras and telescopes next time. It may be a little intimidating to get there, as it's 13 miles on a country road off US 118 and another 1.5 miles on narrow dirt road, but you will be rewarded for your perseverance. Tin Valley is a slice of paradise for those who seek it.

We booked an RV site about a week in advance, checked in on line while in Fort Stockton (and still had cell service), and came in after hours, our reservation info was waiting in a folder hanging on the office door, quickly found our site, which luckily was near the Rec Hall/bathrooms...a lifesaver when it's 38 degrees overnight. Bathrooms were private and spacious, the rec hall had a kitchen to prepare meals and wifi worked great! Perfect solution for EV owners who want to make the trek out to the remote wild West Texas area! Recommended!

Initially, the owner was extremely nice. The property was as expected, and well kept. By the…read moresecond day, though, things got, well..... weird. The owner's mom lived in a trailer on the property, and right next to the lot we were assigned. All other lots were vacant, but they assigned us to the one right next to her. I felt really bad for her because she lived alone, and we were told she'd likely be outside drinking and playing cards/dominoes (can't recall which) by herself. At one point my attack dog (shimault) saw her from inside our camper, and started barking at her. She stated "I love dogs that bark". Temps in that area reached about 110 so we left our dog at the camper with AC, and ventured to the national park. We returned a few hours later. Something didn't feel right, as it seemed extremely quiet. I realized there was no power to our camper-and my dog was inside! We immediately called the owner. She advised the power went out a few hours ago and was hoping the power company would have it on, soon. She never thought to text us to let us know. The odd thing was everyone around us still had power. Not too long after that-we had power. No power company was observed on site. Next issue-no water. Don't remember her excuse, but we were restricted on water. She had to get the water hose from her mom's camper and bring it to us. We hooked up, showered, and went about our evening. Then we had a knock on the door. It was the owner's mom asking if we were done with the water. Confused, we called the owner. She came and unhooked the house, and took the water supply away. This repeated the next day, although this time we filled the fresh water tank. And again the third day. Pretty sure they were "borrowing" the water from the business in front of them. The straw that broke the camel's back was the crazy text from the owner saying she wasn't on drugs, she was just drunk. Our reservation was for a week, we high tailed it out of there after day 3.
