Road Runner Travelers RV Park

Ignore the Google satellite photo's, they show an empty dirt lot. There really is an RV park here. A good one too. Clean, wide spaces, well packed gravel sites and super friendly owners. All sites are pull-through 30/50amp F/HU with great water pressure. The RV park is on Texas 170 about a half mile from Texas 118. Technically it's in Study Butte (Terlingua Ghost Town is a few miles down the road). You are centrally located for access to both Big Bend National park to the east, and the State Park to the west. There's a well stocked liquor store that's walking distance from your RV site.

The owners are actively working on amenity improvements to this new park. Better WiFi is in works (which we didn't use), my ATT hotspot was getting over 20mbps download. T-Mobile on the phones was spotty. They also have a bathroom and showers in the plans. Right now you must be self-sufficient. A dog park will be done within a week or so and they have a nice "group" fire pit area. One night they had an acoustic guitar performer.

We had a great time here and would definitely book again if we're in the area.

(Dates stayed 10/24-30/21) We had a great experience here. We don't usually stay in RV Parks but were meeting some friends who travel with their dog. We couldn't take a chance on getting a site with electric hook-ups in the Big Bend Rio Grande Village CG so chose this place. What a great choice.

We had a pull through site (I think they all are) with water, electricity, and sewer. Our friends were in the site next to us with the private fire pit. The sites were perfectly level and have a nice picnic table. Set up nicely so you get afternoon shade on the trailer door side (which is also the side with the awning). Nice view of the mountain and great view of the night sky (except the stupid liquor store across the road keeps their lights on all night!).

The owners have been really busy planting desert trees and shrubs. There is a communal area with games and a firepit. I think they even have some concerts. Location is great for access to Big Bend NP and State Park. Also, right across from Far Flung Adventures if you want to book guides for kayaking and jeep tours (highly recommend a river trip). Close to Terlingua town.

A bit of noise from the road as the weekend drew near but not really bad during the week.

The owners are doing a fantastic job of making a great RV park. We liked how the places where the picnic tables were had finer gravel than where you parked your trailer. They are planting native plants at each site. Sites were nicely spaced apart and level. Very clean. They have started building a dog park. We hope to return with our Airstream Caravan, "West of the Pecos," next year. It is out of their control, but I wish the liquor store across the street was Dark Skies friendly. Great place to stay if you need full hookups and want to visit Big Bend National Park.

Great location between Terlingua proper and Big Bend NP. Host was there to greet us when we entered and she gave us a choice of sites. I needed strong wifi for a class i was taking and despite being in the middle of the Chihuahuan desert, I was able to attend my virtual class meeting! I did ask ahead of time if that was ok since some parks restrict the kind of wifi usage, but they said it was cool. Gravel sites, spacious. Electric was a godsend as our AC never got turned off. Quiet at night. Star watching was great. Liquor store across the road didn't turn off their lights until late but we still got some great astrophotography in. As with most of the area, there is no shade, but we knew that. All in all a great stay! I'm guessing this place is fantastic in fall and winter :)

Do not miss this jewel! This is a new park created by RVers who understand what you want and need in a park. They have turned a bare plot of land into an RV paradise in the desert with full hook up sites and boondocking sites to choose from. The owners were present and very hospitable. We can’t recommend Roadrunners enough if you’re coming to Big Bend National or even the State Park as it’s just a short drive from there as well. Try the Mexican restaurant across the road. There’s plenty of options for food and fun in the area. So glad we stayed here!

We really enjoyed this park. The owners have definitely done everything they can to make this a comfortable place to camp. They have a common area with games for kids and lots of land to walk around. My husband needs wifi for work, so we checked out 3 other parks since the cell service is 3g at best in this area. Roadrunners wifi was lightening fast. I’d highly recommend this spot.
