Overview
Stillwell's Store and RV Park is located just north of Big Bend National Park about 8 miles from the Persimmon Gap entrance. The old-fashioned general store carries soft drinks, beer, ice, canned goods and regular gasoline. The RV Park offers sites with full hook-up (electric, water and sewer), water and electric only sites, and tent sites. Come enjoy the peace and quiet at Stillwell while exploring the nearby Big Bend National Park and Black Gap Wildlife Management Area. An ideal location for stargazers, bird watchers and those just wanting to unplug for a bit.
