Guadalupe Mountains National Park RV Parks & Campgrounds

Tips from campers about Guadalupe Mountains National Park, TX

  Vdoman The town of Chiply has a big Walmart, a Tractor Supply, a Piggly Wiggly, even a Goodwill store along with restaurants and Dollar stores. All of these are just a few miles up the road from the park. The park brochure they give you has an error. The hiking trail to the falls says 4 miles, but it's more like maybe 1.5 miles. Also, at the time of this writting, if you walk along beside the lake to get to the falls, the boardwalk is closed for repairs just before you get to those falls, forcing you to go all the way back around to the parking lot for a more direct approach. Advice when we checked in would have helped and a big sign would have been nice. My wife, with a bad knee, looked at that 4 miles and noped out. So I drove her there. Florida Caverns is a short drive away. Olle's Restaurant (by reservations only) was a somewhat unique German dining experience. It is located in this old resort with cabins that overlook a lake (Compass Lake in the Hills). We were there during it's off season, but the resort looks like it was once nice but it's glory days are over. There is no signage for Olle's so it's really confusing to realize it's in the resort lobby. I think it's run by a husband and wife and they will only service four to five tables at a time. So reservations are kind of hard to get. Expect to wait a few days to get in and be flexible with your time. Our meals were delicious and the price was shockingly inexpensive. I have T-Mobile Home Internet and the speed was surprisingly fast. Generally 200 to 300 down (peaked at 600), and 20 to 30 up.
