Marathon Motel & RV Park

This site is the perfect full hook-up stop before/after entering Big Bend National Park, where all of the campsites are dry. We spent one night here before we went to stay in the park, making sure we had our laundry done, catching up on admin on the wifi, and stocking up on supplies. I think this is a great site. It's got epic mountain views, the wifi is fast, and the bathrooms are beautifully done and clean (though note there is only one shower for men and one for women), It's right in town, where you will find a good grocery (the French Grocer), a couple of nice cafes, a post office, liquor store and a few other shops. There is also a nice communal courtyard area, with a fire place (there are no fires on sites), which would be nice if you were staying longer. The only negatives were that the sites have no privacy or shade, and despite appearances aren't that level. The laundry machines have also seen better days, and one was out of order, but we still got our washing done, so not a major issue. We got a really good rate using Passport America ($15 I think), and for the money, the location and facilities were perfect for us.
