Davis Mountain State Park | Established Campground

April 2nd, 2024 by small_b

Ended up staying 3 nights. Had stayed years back in the tent area in main part of park and it was just ok. This time, stayed in the equestrian primitive area across the street from the main part of park behind a locked gate and loved it! They have to give you a code to get in / out of the primitive area and there’s nothing really there, except great views, quiet, and entrance to multiple more off the beaten path trail heads that are part of the park. This seems like a new area they’re developing for camping, currently they have 6 spots, and they are a bit close together. The camping area is also next to a small parking lot for the trail head. Fire pits and picnic table at each spot behind a little wire fence that I do wish was not there. $16 for the night ($6 for day fee, $10 for spot). Very peaceful and using Verizon LTE w/weboost had 2-3 bars most of the time, unlike the main park which has almost zero service because it’s deeper in the canyon. This spot is def worth checking out if you want something in the area and are set up to dry camp. Can still use park facilities (10-15 minute walk or drive there) - I think this park has the best bathrooms I’ve ever experienced at a state park - clean, some remodeled, and hot water. Dog also loved it, as 2/3 nights we had the whole area to ourselves. Will def go back!

Very nice and quiet state park. $15 for “water only” or $20 for electric hookup. Not crowded at all this time of year. Lots of room between most sites too. We were the only campers on our loop. Park staff extremely friendly and helpful. Add $6.00 pp park entry fee. All Texas State parks charge it.

Good stop off if going/coming Big Bend NP. Make reservations online. Limited to no cell service.

I reserved here to get some protection from the high wind warnings. Success. Stayed in site 46 and could hear the wind howling but I was not rocking and rolling. Was working remote with not great but useable Verizon LTE. Was told there are boosters in the restrooms, not verified. Town is nearby and good service up Skyline Drive in parking areas. A few hiking trails

Camped here one night in a tent. A little pricey for my tastes ($15 per night plus $6 entrance fee) but it is a state park so it’s expected. The trade-off is the sites were pretty nice with a bunch of trees around, I had water at my site, and the showers were pretty clean and hot. Heard what I think was a javelina and coyotes at night, place was about 1/4 full of other campers. No reception. Nice little park to spend a night in.

Nice place, we stayed at a tent spot. The spot was clean and only about 1/4 of the spots had campers. Basic picnic table, fire ring, tent spot. We saw white tail deer, mule deer, javelinas.

The bathrooms have hot running water and showers. They are a bit old but clean. The wifi was not working.

Nice place, $6. per person park entry and $12 a night for a camp spot. A camp host comes and checks the spots a sunrise to make sure you paid. WiFi was not working.

The showers were a bit run down and old but warm, flush toilets

Huge campground. Spots for full hook up, tents, just water etc. prices vary depending on what you chose. Highly recommend this place. Nice stop on the way to big bend.

This is a nice campsite for RV's and tents. My only complaint is that all Texas State Parks are on the expensive side as they charge the daily use fee in addition to campsite. So expect to pay at least $20/day for the basics.
