This historic campground stands out for its quiet solitude, expansive dark skies perfect for stargazing, and convenient proximity to Big Bend’s breathtaking landscapes and hiking trails.

The campground features a variety of accommodations, including full hookup RV sites, water-and-electric-only spots, dry camping areas, and tent sites. Essential amenities such as clean showers, flush toilets, and access to potable water are available, with a well-stocked general store providing supplies, cold drinks, and gasoline. For a touch of local history, visitors can explore the Hallie Stillwell Museum on-site. Wildlife sightings, particularly unique desert animals like javelinas, add to the area’s charm.

Situated approximately 46 miles south of Marathon, Stillwell Ranch Store & RV Park is ideally placed for exploring attractions like Big Bend National Park and the neighboring Black Gap Wildlife Management Area.
