Loma Paloma RV Park

We wanted a decent location to the state park and found it here. Host and other campers were very friendly. Big park that can accommodate larger rigs easily. Nice washers and dryers and only $1.50 to wash and same to dry. Cheap electricity too! We paid $110 + elec which was very reasonable. If only staying 1 night the rate is $22/elec or $18 with a military discount. Would recommend staying here if you're in the area.

After backpacking in Big Bend we were ready for a good hot shower and laundry and clean up. And this place met all our needs at that time. They have a hot shower, bathroom and laundry room. The place was not fancy, but very clean. Laundry was honor system, $1.50/load (washing or drying). There were clothes line so you can hang your laundry outside if you wish, they even provide clothes pins for hanging laundry. That was exactly what I did, I hung our laundry outside and they were dry in about 2 hours in hot sun and dry air in desert 😊. Overall it was a pleasure experience and will definitely use this RV park again if we ever come to this part of country.

Overall, a really good stay. Simple park, but hosts make you feel at home. Nothing fancy, but everything you need, laundry on the honor system, shower is clean and simple. There is not much aside from bare essentials in Presidio. Oasis Restaurant is good, post office is box only, no packages can be sent to you. We stayed to ride out a cold wave, and needed to plug in. Solid place,

It really depends on what you are looking for. The campground is very affordable, full hookups and low on amenities. We were just here for a night. We called 3 weeks ago to make a reservation and to have mail sent. They never took our reservation, so when the mail came it was turned away. Also, we never got a PO Box number for them, and USPS won’t delivery to street address because they have no carriers. It was really unfortunate.

One grocery store in town. One liquor store (the duty free store) a nice park with a playground.

The sites are unpaved and it’s sandy gravel. Probably pretty common down here.

Good value, though. Just wanted to share details.

We were going to stay one week and ended up staying 5 weeks. We took trips into Big Bend Ranch for hiking. Hiked into desert behind park, across street along wetlands and along border. The local restaurants, grocery store are nothing to scream about but are enjoyable enough. The park atmosphere is so layed back with happy hour at 4pm. The owner Maxine makes the park feel like family. We never crossed the border but everybody says it is safe with better restaurants and shopping. The hookups are good, laundry, city water, good power, sites are good size, gravel. Secure everything down as the wind will blow almost everyday but never last long.

Stayed here 12/29/19 to 1/26/20. When I first pulled in I was skeptical, so I told Maxine, the owner, I'd only be here a couple nights, but I ended up staying for a month. This place is very laid back and was the perfect spot to stay in the winter and get some work done, while also having plenty to see and do in the area.

I initially came here as a base for Big Bend, and if that's your goal it's probably not the best spot. To get to the national park took about 2-2.5 hours each way. The park is right on FM170 which goes through the state park and into the national park and is one of the most beautiful drives I've ever done. The park also sits right next to some public desert land that has trails that are fun to walk. A lot of people also had ATV's and dirt bikes and would go out and ride the trails.

The people at this park are all extremely nice and welcoming, which is one of the big reasons I ended up staying so long. As other reviewers mentioned, they do a happy hour ever day at 4:00 which is a great way to get to know everyone. After becoming friends with the regular happy hour group, they took me over to Mexico one night and we went out for dinner and visited some shops. I was definitely glad I was able to go with the group and didn't attempt to go by myself.

Presidio is pretty limited for amenities. There are gas stations, a couple dollar stores, and one grocery store, but not much for restaurants, bars, etc. A lot of people seem to go over the border for a lot of things. The park has 3 washers and 3 dryers that are each $1.50/load and they just go off the honor system. There is also a bathroom and a shower in the laundry room. For connectivity, I only had about 1-2 bars of LTE, but it almost always worked great. The campground also offers wifi, but it only worked for me about half the time.

The park has about 80 sites, but make sure you check all the hookups before picking one. My rate of $10/night is the monthly rate - $250/month plus electricity.

We popped in for just one night but we ended up staying 5 days. They have a happy hour out in the center of the park at 4 p.m. daily. Everyone seems to come to this (and most are not drinking but just socializing). We met another couple that we hit it off with and ended up "going and doing" with them. Another gentleman (Gary from Illinois) drove us across the border to Mexico and showed us around. Maxine, the owner, was just great and the whole operation was a reflection of her laid back personality. Dogs are allowed to be off leash but naturally the expectation is that you control them and pick up after them.

It is a gravel lot and probably has 60 or so sites but people were spread out and we didn't feel packed in. The rate here is $22 but first night is $11 if you have Passport America.

There is shower and washers and dryers tho we didn't need them. Internet is good here but be sure to ask for a site close to the connection point (its about in the middle of the park)

Oh yeah, while we were here (March of 2019) the Javelin's cruising by about 10 p.m. and Boy! do they stink!
