Stillwell Store, RV Park & Museum is located in Brewster County on FM 2627 in the Chihuahuan Desert just north of Big Bend National Park, approx. 8 miles from the Persimmon Gap entrance. This legendary West Texas landmark is so rich in history one can only attempt to appreciate its past, present & future place in Texas history. <br />
<br />
The income producing, old-fashioned general store carries basic necessities/supplies, such as soft drinks, beer, ice, canned goods, regular gasoline & features a unique gift shop. The RV Park has sites with full hook-ups (electric/water/sewer), water/electric only sites, dry sites & tent sites. Visitors also have access to showers, restrooms, WiFi & limited lodging rentals. Stillwell is a practical campground with a lot of history that will take you back in time to a simple, old west setting. <br />
<br />
The +/-250 acres is a small piece that's left of a large cattle ranch belonging to the Stillwell family dating back to the early 1900s. Hallie married Roy Stillwell in 1918 & over the next 30 years raised 3 children Roy, Guy & Dadie through harsh conditions, limited medical care, severe droughts, war, the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression & disease. Roy unexpectedly died in 1948 & Hallie maintained the ranch until 1964 when she turned the ranch over to her two sons. In 1969, Hallie opened the Stillwell Store & RV Park & instantly became a tourist attraction for those traveling in Big Bend Country. In 1991, Hallie's daughter Dadie opened Hallie's Hall of Fame Museum on the ranch to honor her mother's West Texas legacy.<br />
<br />
The property's terrain ranges from scrub brush flats to gently rolling foothills up to elevated bluffs offering distant views of Stillwell Mountain & Santiago Peak.<br />
<br />
Native wildlife in the area enjoy year-round water & feed creating an above average population of mule deer, quail, javelina & dove. An occasional elk, mountain lion & black bear have been spotted as well. <br />
<br />
Continuing on FM 2627 for approx. 20 miles southeast of the ranch there are rafting/fishing trips at La Linda on the Rio Grande River.<br />
<br />
Located near Big Bend National Park (+/-800,000 acres) & Black Gap Wildlife Management Area (+/-103,000 acres), these large neighbors provide additional opportunities to hunt, explore & enjoy some of the most scenic country in West Texas.<br />
<br />
Stillwell's appealing, yet simple Big Bend Country setting is sure to take you back in time with its western charm. |
