Full Campground

Ok, so not everywhere is a ghost town in the winter. This is Big Bend's busy time of the year, and by the time we arrived, all their campsites were filled. But they had a handy list of places nearby, and so we still ended up with a place to stay, close to the park.

Amenities

This is what $30/night gets you at Stillwell Ranch. We got full hookups, but they recommended AGAINST using the water hookup. So we really got electricity, an emergency place to stay, a deserted desert landscape, and nasty toilets that had no toilet paper and no door. For those used to hotel stays, $30/night is pricey. RV resorts get pricier, but they also have real amenities. Oh, we also got spotty wi-fi, which was nice. But, please, if you are headed to Big Bend and find yourself without a campground, find something else. Maybe in Marathon it's better, but I don't know.
