Spring Break Maiden Voyage

Wow! What a place to stay! The backdrop of the mountains were beautiful at these clear sites.

The parking sites are set up like a butterfly, and we were to the right at the perimeter with no one behind us which had more privacy than the inner sites.

These people were so friendly at this resort. Staying open past posted hours, and providing boxes for kindling, and very kind.

The RV sites had concrete pads large enough that we never brought out our outdoor rug.

There was a picnic table and an area to have a fire, though we used a solo stove.

This would be a great place to come during a new moon to view the stars.

We rented a Subaru from Lajitas. The people from check-in at the Rv park shuttled us over then back to our RV site after drop-off via a golf cart.

The car rental was nice as many of the places we wanted to see in Big Bend like Santa Elena Canyon was a 1.5 hour drive.

If going in March or April, go before the week like a Thursday, Friday even a Saturday. Everything was easy in and out during this time…restaurants, reservations for fun activities at Lajitas like their cowboy shooting events (ours was not private and we were driven in an SUV by the instructors to a site) & horse riding.

But come Sunday on whoa!Insane! Super long waits (make reservations for dinner every night well in advance and just cancel if you don’t feel like it. Because even the cafe had 1.5 hour wait for food. We were so happy that we had that optional reservation. Luckily there is a general store just outside the rv park with plenty of foods to make.

Big Bend’s entrance had a super long wait Sunday on but none on Friday or Saturday, so go before the week begins to beat the rush!

The RV park was very calm and peaceful, then Sunday night on kids were very wild, running across and behind camp sites with no parents, throwing rocks. Though this may have been isolated, after we left we still received emails from the RV park stating that kids were doing this and them receiving continued complaints. At least they addressed it and we left on a Monday.

Two nights we heard coyotes howling super melodic, but they stay away as most people had fires and/or were outside.

Perfect place for our maiden voyage. Would come again for sure, during a new moon with a telescope, and , just in case, on a Thursday!
