Big Bend Resort & Adventures
Overview
Overview
Big Bend Resort & Adventures in Terlingua, Texas serves as a primary basecamp for travelers exploring the vast desert expanses of the remote Trans-Pecos region. Situated along State Highway 118, this property places visitors right at the doorstep of the rugged Chihuahuan Desert, offering a distinct frontier atmosphere for motorists navigating the remote roadways of far West Texas.
Location & Surroundings
The landscape surrounding Terlingua is characterized by sweeping basin floors, dramatic mesa horizons, and sparse desert vegetation under intense skies. Travelers arriving via U.S. Highway 90 or descending from Alpine and Marathon will traverse vast arid plains bordered by distant mountain ranges. The climate here demands preparation, featuring extreme summer heat and wide daily temperature swings that require reliable vehicle climate control.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details vary and should never be assumed, visitors must contact the property directly to verify exact capabilities. When planning your stay at Big Bend Resort & Adventures, inquire specifically about utility hookup amperage, pull-through versus back-in site configurations, water pressure, and waste disposal access. Confirming these operational parameters ahead of time ensures a smooth arrival in this isolated region.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The property sits just miles from the entrance to Big Bend National Park, where millions of acres of canyons, river corridors, and high desert peaks await exploration. Outdoor enthusiasts can drive the scenic Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive, hike the Chisos Basin trails, or plan river trips on the Rio Grande. The historic ghost town of Terlingua itself offers local dining, mercury mining history, and vibrant desert culture.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination suits self-contained road-trippers, desert landscape photographers, and hikers seeking immediate proximity to public federal lands. West Texas adventurers who prioritize geographic access and a genuine frontier setting over urban conveniences will find this location ideal for staging deep excursions into the rugged borderlands.

We are staying in the RV park at Big Bend station. It is quiet, clean and we have everything we need. We have a 1969 Shasta so no shower, there is a shower on site, and a bathroom. Everything was nicer than we expected, staff is helpful. Very close to big bend. There is also a gas station convenience store with a Cafe in the same parking lot. A dollar general a few blocks away. We will stay here again and refer our friends.

Impression was that campers would have access to showers and restrooms. The restrooms needed a code for entry. Showers were coin operated ($2 - 6 minutes). We've been here before but had stopped coming when we got here and plumbing issues caused the restroom/showers to be unusable. Thought we would try it again. First code we were given did not work. When we reported it, we were told they "would get to it". When asked if that would happen that day, the clerk just shrugged his shoulders. It was fixed by the end of the day. But still, very inconvenient and deplorable service.

We were there for 3 nights. During that time, our room was never serviced. After the 2nd night, I asked why our room had not been serviced. The reply was “We don’t service rooms every day”. They did give me some fresh towels though. The really irritating part was an envelope had been left in the room so that we could tip the staff. Our room was #12. It did not connect to the WiFi because of distance from the router. We also only had acct to satellite TV for 15 minutes before it stopped working. On the positive side, the beds were comfortable and room was clean when we arrived.

5 out of 5. The rooms were neat and clean. Value for the money. The location is just few miles away from the national park entrance / visitor center. The font desk closes at 8 PM. But they keep the keys ready and available even if you arrive late. The front desk is friendly . They do have a games room where kids can spend time. There is no free breakfast. The gas station / store is next door which has all the basic supplies for the trip. The location is family friendly. I would strongly recommend for families looking for decent over night statys.

Not sure why the rating isn’t higher? We just got back home today from being out here for a few days. The location of this place sold me! I gave it a shot. The room was clean, the water pressure was Perfect. But the bed was hard manageable but I’m picky I like soft beds so I’m not hating. But the rules they have make this place quiet and I love that. No bugs in the room. The front desk is super nice like holy cow!! The whole town is nice! I would stay here again and again. We stayed in the pink room idk what it’s called I already forgot but you can see the Santa Elena canyon from the door and when you open your window! I added some photos that were taken from the parking lot next to our hotel room.
