Saddleback Mountain RV Park

Yes, close to I 10; easy on and off. But watch out for all the Sand Spurs! They invaded our shoes, feet, clothes and more. We were hooked up to the utilities and the sand spurs punctured our hose in numerous places - it was ruined. Not recommended!

Full hooks ups for $20 a night! Cheaper than some of the military bases we stayed at. Sites were well maintained and gravel. A good amount of trees and landscaping. It’s west TX, so no grass, but that’s good because you want to keep an eye out for snakes (we didn’t see any). We walked over to the saloon and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food we had (ribeye, my husband had Mac ‘n cheese as a side & it had a great spicy kick). Bring your sense of humor - it’s filled with pro Trump stuff. Owner (wearing her maga hat) was great and was happy that we weren't offended. A couple pool tables, smoking inside (we didn’t mind, it lended to the experience ) & you can open carry your alcohol outside. We had an early dinner around 5pm. Told our neighbors & they went over for dinner. Apparently they opened up a back area with a stage & ping pong tables when one of the guests picked up a guitar in the corner & put on an impromptu show. There is also a big flat area where the big rig trucks park behind the gas station. If you just want to dry camp, that was a good alternative. For $20, I was thrilled to have electricity & a hot shower. RV owner was hanging out at the bar & very friendly . Great stop over & far enough from the hwy where you didn’t hear the traffic, just engine noise from the truckers which is like white noise to me. Will stay here again.

Easy in/Easy out. Good rate at $20. You can pay cash at drop box or by cc on their website.

Web site says they are full from long term guest and they are not offering any place or services.

We pulled in after a long day of driving. The manager was nice over the phone prior to our arrival and told us which sites were open, and she walked over to collect the $20 while we hooked up. We mentioned how unleveled and full of holes the site was, and she said one should expect such in west Texas. We wished we'd boon docked in the huge gas station lot next door instead. It was clean and level compared to the RV park. There were several RVs and trucks over there. We thought we heard a locomotive idling in the distance, but it became like white noise after a while. We thought we'd try the nearby state park instead, like a previous reviewer mentioned, but we drove over and found the driveway blocked by state police having a khaki conference. After they moved out of the way, we found the only large enough site for our big rig was taken by tent campers. Well, Balmorhea, TX will probably not be a place we stop in again.

I was weary to stay here with the other reviews. I disagree with the ratings of them for the most part. The campground is nestled between beautiful views of hills, cactus, and flowers. For $20 a night you get a bar, restaurant, gas station, and a relatively level spot. The spots are all rock, so some have dips(small holes) in them. They are easy to avoid or cover up with more rocks. Staff here is extreemly friendly. We will be back and reccommend you give this park a chance on your own! We found this park last minute while passing through the area. We needed to pull over due to high winds. Extended our stay to 2 days. There is also a state park 10 miles down the road to swim and hike at!

Not fancy. There is no office, just a trailer. $20/night full hookups no questions, no papers to fill out.

Nothing special. No cable/Internet which is OK since I have my own hot spot. Old park with oilfield workers. I guess my biggest complain is not kept up, big holes in spaces. We stayed over night in a travel trailer

Pretty good place but no frills.
