Formerly Mountain Trails Lodge, our property features stunning sunrises and sunsets, wildlife watching, and amazing dark skies viewing. Our on-site Cafe serves breakfast and lunch daily from 8am to 2pm and currently is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 8am to 8 pm, serving dinner those evenings. We offer tent campsites and one RV site with electricity and water available, along with access to a restroom with shower and amenities, our pavilion with a gas grill and grilling tools, a fridge, ice, and picnic tables. We also have cabins for rent, visible on our website mountainviewlodgetx.com. We have seven acres convenient to many attractions, including McDonald Observatory, Fort Davis National Historic Site, Davis Mountains State Park, the Chihuahuan Desert Research Center, a 75-mile scenic loop, and more. Marfa, TX, a widely recognized community of world-renowned artists, is just a 20-minute drive away. Alpine, TX is also only 20 minutes away with more amenities and medical care facilities. We are located in a Dark Skies Reserve with spectacular night viewing of stars and the Milky Way, even without a telescope!

Amazing dark sky!!
The dark skies were amazing!! The town of fort Davis nestled just below the site was super cute with several restaurants and bars!! Camp area was open with several flat sandy areas to place your tent. Only one picnic table for 2 sites though, another table would be nice. Bathroom and shower facilities we're very clean and nice. Fresh clean towels and a variety of soaps and shampoos we're made available too . There's a small cafe for breakfast or lunch. Super nice people!! Loved out stay there!!

Everything about this experience was GREAT except for 2 things. 1: the metal door to get into the back yard to get into the house is very difficult to figure out how to open and makes a TERRIBLE high pitch screeching noise which almost gave me a headache and 2: there were dogs barking all. Night. Long. I understand the host can’t control this but be weary if you are a light sleeper like me. The stars at night made up for these two things but I just needed to leave an honest review for the people.

Great location with excellent views
We had so much fun staying at Mountain View Lodge. There are 2 camp sites available on one side of the property, far enough away from each other and the main house/cabins that we still felt like we had the privacy we needed. The common areas were kept clean and offered many amenites to have while camping - bathrooms, showers, grill, refrigerator, tables and chairs, and a little cafe to eat at as well. The owners were very nice and so were the other guests. The night sky in this area is unbelievable. It's also just 30 minutes away from Balmorhea State Park and 20 minutes away from the McDonald Observatory.

Great place for tent camping or cabin. The staff was very accommodating with meeting me upon arrival and into the evening with answering questions.
