Marathon Motel & RV Park

M Jorge

We happen to change our route on 5/30/2022 and passed by the town of Marathon, TX. We called in a few hours before arrival to make reservations. The park has level sites, pull thru, FHU, easy access to US 90, Passport America. Also, it is close to Big Bend National Park. A special feature, which we were informed after checking in, was a nightly star gazing party, weather permitting. The hosts, Bill and Andy, were fantastic. They explained things about the night sky, the stars, and the seasons, among other things. We will definitely be back.

Fun place to stay! Staff was super friendly. Court Yard is amazing! Star gazing was fantastic and awesome, great facilitators! Learned so much about the heavens! Really enjoyed my stay!

We stayed in the RV Park. No frills, but all we needed. Noticed lots of improvements to facilities. Nightly star parties are a unique treat.

We camped at the RV sites along the front of the place in the 30 amp area. Huge downside for us was the bathhouse, far, far, away with one commode and one shower for each side to be shared with the whole campground. The town of Marathon is pretty cool. It's 40 minutes to Big Bend, which is about as close as you can get to camp outside the park. The campground held a nightly star watching gathering with a real astrophotographer and huge telescopes. Made the bathroom issue less important.

Love this place. I have stayed many times over the years en route to Big Bend. Friendly owners and staff and a very good vibe overall. Good for a motel stay or tent camping. Thanks for the hospitality 🙏
