Overview

48421 FM 2627, Alpine, TX, 79830

NO RESERVATIONS OR VACANCY AVAILABLE due to changing ownership and new construction. Will notify when availability has resumed.
Stillwell's Store and RV Park is located just north of Big Bend National Park, about 8 miles from the Persimmon Gap entrance. ****NOT LOCATED IN ANY TOWN, WE ARE 45 MILES SOUTH OF MARATHON**** The old-fashioned general store carries soft drinks, beer, ice, canned goods and regular gasoline. Our RV Park features sites with full 30/50-amp hook-ups (electric, water and sewer), water and electric only sites, dry sites and tent sites. Stillwell is a practical campground with a lot of history, not a resort. Come enjoy the peace and quiet at Stillwell while exploring the nearby Big Bend National Park and Black Gap Wildlife Management Area. Given our ideal location, this is the perfect spot for stargazers, bird watchers and those just wanting to unplug for a bit. Whether it's for a short and or long-term stay, we hope to see you soon!

We stop accepting same-day reservations at 4 p.m. During peak occupancy periods such as holidays and spring break, there is a 2-day minimum reservation commitment.

We do have limited WiFi at the store (do not expect sufficient Wi-Fi to conduct work remotely). The nearest cell phone service is about 15 miles away in BBNP. If technology is your top concern, this likely isn't the place for you.

We DO NOT offer rock hounding or any kind of equestrian services on the property.

We do not accept reservations via phone call. All reservations are made thru the website. Certain busy camping times, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break require a 2-night minimum stay.

If you are looking to charge an electric car, simply book the kind of site you require, 30/50amp. We are an R.V. Park, not a car charging station so the fee is the same.
*No tents in any designated RV site, #1 through 9A, and 19 through 89.

Current notices for Stillwell. Store hours and amenities availability will be subject to change. We do not recommend visiting in the summer months, May through September, due to extreme heat.

Are you interested in visiting Hallie Stillwell's Hall of Fame? Stop by the store during business hours and request the key.
