Lost Alaskan RV Park

Alpine is 30 minutes away from Marathon, Marfa, and Fort Davis, so it is a central location for all the little west Texas towns. This seems to be the nicest park in town. It's on the north edge, but it wasn't a bad bike ride into downtown. The workcampers checking us in were extremely nice and helpful. The cg actually gives you mints and dog bones when you check in which is cute. Other workcampers we met helped us out with a couple issues we had, too. Overall, everyone was very nice and helpful, workers and guests alike.

We had a spot near the back at the edge of the regular spots before the premium. The premium spots have manicured grass, paved small patio, and short fence. Since we were bordering the premium spot, we had a fence on our patio side which was nice for the dogs. The rate above reflects the Escapees discount.

The bathrooms were clean and the laundry room had a good amount of washers and dryers. The park was kept up well overall. There is a small dog park up front, but we mainly just walked them around the park and the empty field across from us. There are shaded tent platforms. The pool was closed in March.

The Reata restaurant in town is delicious.

Well run park with tight management that keeps the park well functioning. Sites are clean, laundry room is clean and adequate sized, same for showers and bathrooms. There is a seperate site for washing vehicles (a nice touch), but they do charge for this option. There is fenced dog play areawith hydrants and scoop shovels for use by both owner and dogs.

Management was pretty strict but the grounds and facilities were impeccable. Don't fill up your propane here because they charge per tank not per gallon which they told us was standard in Texas (after they filled ours up for about $20/5 gallon tank).
Check out the Big Bend Brewery not far from town. And the Davis Mountains. More places to see on our blog post.

Was quoted a discount price for a club membership when making reservation. Arrived and was told there are no discounts in March as the local college is in recess; what that has to do with an RV park in the middle of no where is beyond me.

Facilities are nice. Easy in and out.

We stayed two nights at Lost Alaskan after nearly 3 weeks dry camping around Big Bend. All RV sites are FHU with a choice of 30 or 50 amp and there is a tenting area. Sites are adequately spaced with trees to provide some shade, but no privacy between sites. The staff are very helpful and the facilities are immaculate. Fairly large laundry facility (6 washers/6 dryers) and everything worked! There is a playground, pool, nice pet area and a place to wash your rig (additional fee).

The campground is about 2 miles out of town, but it’s a doable walk or easy bike ride. We walked into Alpine twice for coffee at Plaine and donuts from Baker’s Dozen and enjoyed the Big Bend Museum at Sul Ross University. Alpine has groceries, gas, restaurants, shops, galleries and a hardware store.

The $34 quoted was a daily rate, we got a 15% PA discount so paid $28.95/night. We stayed at an RV park in Marathon before going into Big Bend and would highly recommend the Lost Alaskan in Alpine over Marathon – much better access to services, quieter, and overall nicer RV park.

We had 3 bars of Verizon 4G unboosted. The park also has free wifi which worked fairly well.

We were running from the Tornados and Hail, and headed to Alpine for a safe area. This RV Park was very nice. Sites were very rough gravel, but pretty level, if there is one thing they can improve on, it's the gravel, they need a few trucks of finer gravel . The site had good power and water. The Bathrooms and showers were super clean, and must have been remodeled somewhat recently. There is a RV Wash in the Back (concrete pad and water) All the staff we meet were very nice and helpful. It's just a short ride to Downtown, where there are good places to stock up on groceries, a well stocked hardware store, a few food trucks and best of all close to the Big Bend Brewery! Also a nice quick ride to Marfa (we saw the lights).

First off, they are known for very clean restrooms, showers and laundry and we would 100% agree! Best hot shower I’ve had in a long time! The entire park has beautiful pine trees that make the park feel like you are in truly in the pines. There was good OTA TV channels and there was cable available. Cell signal was 3 bars LTE and we had no problem using it. Our WiFi had great strength. Half of the park had seasonals, but they had to follow strict guidelines to ensure there was no clutter around their RVs. There is a swimming pool to enjoy, but no hot tub. This is a great stop if you are going to go south to explore Big Bend National Park.

Best place with 5 sheltered, elevated, gravel spots, with electrical outlets and a bench. There are 3 others spaces just on the ground, with no shelter, but trees area and has an electrical post. There is also a grill and sheltered wash station with good counter space. It comes in super handy.
Bathrooms and laundry are great too. Only con is there is quite a distance to the facilities unless spaces on two rows are free of rv’s. Otherwise you are walking through a campsite and a good move. Bring a bike.

Really nice place. Clean, accommodating, very friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend. Laundry clean and very affordable!

No complaints. Nice park. Can’t speak to restrooms because we brought our own. Good Wifi and cable. Park is well maintained. We washed our RV there on their pad for $10.00. Byo soap and everything but they do supply the hose and spray nozzle.
