"Up on a hill overlooking the town of Presidio and Mountain views surrounding the property. Designated sites with water and electricity. Bathrooms and showers. Super friendly."
$10 - $22 / night
"Laundry has decent size machines and are paid by the honor system (which was so cheap we threw a few extra bucks in). Running the campground seems to be a group effort."
"Not a very scenic spot for a tent but since I was birding my way along the Texas Birding Trails, this was a hotspot and worth the stop. Clean bathroom and shower, nice game room."
"Nice big sites with full hookup, picnic table and fire ring. A really nice pool area with free towels provided and very nice bathrooms with hot showers. There was a huge laundry facility as well."
"I did not camp here but used their very clean showers ($10) and laundromat several times while camping in Big Bend Ranch State Park."
"The view of the Chisos Mountain is fantastic, especially at dawn. This RV Park includes 12 large pull-through sites and 17 back-in sites with 50/30-amp, water and sewage."
"You feel the history and past of days gone by, with the ghost town of Terlingua and the junk yard behind the RV camping area."
"Nestled right next to the entrance of Big Bend Ranch State Park and only 8 minutes from Presidio, this park has tons of spaces with plenty of room to have your own little slice of the desert."
"Clean laundry, hot shower, clean bathroom and full hookups all for $22/night, less if you are a veteran, PassportAmerica, or Escapee."
$45 - $65 / night
"Terlingua's only 3rd generation local owner and operator buisness."
"We were just plugging in a camper van because the nights were too warm to get good rest."
"Great site tucked in-between foothills. Nice sized space with picnic table and fire pit. Plenty of room for multiple tents and additional vehicles. "
"All numbered sites are large, offer moderate to total privacy, and all have cabanas, picnic tables, and fire rings. #15 is the only camp site directly on the River."
$20 - $65 / night
"I love that this property is situated between the national and state parks, and between Lajitas and Terlingua!"
"Clean well laid out sites with tremendous views all around. There are 2 RV sites with electric and water but this primarily for tent/car/truck camping. There are additional walk-in sites as well."
"This is a great location to mountain bike in Big Bend Ranch State Park and on the Lajitas trail system, but also you’re only an hour away from sitting in the Big Bend National Park Chiso basin parking"
"I would have given a 5 but for that we can't run our quiet genny during the day to charge batteries and cook, and campsites are pretty snug to each other..."
$12 / night
"I stayed for a few nights at Lower Madera because it’s the closest thing I could find to Big Bend National Park, which is still about an hour drive away."
"Big Bend Ranch State Ranch is quite different than Big Bend National Park. While much of the national park has sky islands (mountains), much of the state park is classic desert."
TravelerThey do indeed still have full hook-up rental spaces for travel trailers! We have a 27’ and we were fine (maybe call if you are one of those big fifth wheels to be sure). Terlingua’s a funny place in the best way possible so your not gonna fine incredible signal or high speed internet in these parts but my husband was still able to work full time online from here. The owners are super sweet and her art studio is worth checking out. We walked to a bar every other night and it’s easy access to hike Big Bend daily.
GuideThis was a very nice campsites with distance between campsites. Each campsite had a covered table, lantern hanger, fire ring and convenient bathrooms. No water so bring your own and no cell service but the amazing night sky and spectacular drive from Presidio made up for it. We had site 16 in the back but the site had a lot of rocks so be aware
GuideThe view of the Chisos Mountain is fantastic, especially at dawn. This RV Park includes 12 large pull-through sites and 17 back-in sites with 50/30-amp, water and sewage. The Recreation building has 3 complete washrooms with showers; a community kitchen with a fridge and microwave; a variety of cookware and dinnerware; and 2 sets of washers and dryers. The pavilion is also available and includes tables, chairs, a smoker/cooker and a community fire pit. There are pot lucks and other events to participate in and the atmosphere and terrain are unmatchable. They LOVE pets and well behaved ones are even allowed to play off leash. But at night there are desert creatures so keep them inside. Terlingua is a “ghost town” that is worth spending time in. There are cantinas and restaurants, there’s an eccentric trading post store, a famous cemetery, and an annual chili cook off. The community is quirky but it feels like home. I take an annual trip to this area and BJs has my business every time. PS: all the food in town is GOOD.
TravelerThis place was the crème de la crème imo. Nice big sites with full hookup, picnic table and fire ring. A really nice pool area with free towels provided and very nice bathrooms with hot showers. There was a huge laundry facility as well. The dog park has water and two picnic tables with sun shades. Multiple poo bag stations around the park and very clean. There’s a trail/dirt road to walk from the campground to the Lajitas General Store (very good breakfast sandwiches). You also get access to the golf resort amenities: fitness center, 3 restaurants, and spa. I treated myself to a Deep Tissue massage and it was incredible!
RangerFeb/March 2021. I did not camp here but used their very clean showers ($10) and laundromat several times while camping in Big Bend Ranch State Park. There is free WiFi and cell service available, which doesn’t exist in the State Park. I also had to have a document printed from my phone, which the camp office personnel was kind enough to do. Every staff person I interacted with was pleasant and helpful.
There is a beautiful and inviting swimming pool with lounge chairs and tables for picnics. Next to the pool area, there’s a large recreation room with TV.
There is a small grocery store (very limited) an easy walk away in Lajitis that also offers simple take out breakfast and lunch.
Maverick Ranch is an excellent place to stay in Lajitis if you have a big rig.
ScoutBest campground ever !! It is located right outside Big Bend State Park. Very scenic route with beautiful mountains.. Stores are located a short drive away..
Campground is well laid out. Comfortable distance between each site.
Each site offers electric hook up, water (with its own sink) BBQ pit, picnic table and burn fire pit. Free wifi included !!!
Flushable toilets and hot showers !! Casey kept these spotless !!
David has one thing in mind and that is to keep you very comfortable !! To enjoy your time and relax !! We arrived one day early and David made room for us for that night ! (Free) We greatly appreciated that !!
I can not express how great this place is !! I would give them a 10 star ! I highly recommend this campground..
We will definitely be back !!
Thank you David and Casey for making our stay a memorable one :)
GuideNestled right next to the entrance of Big Bend Ranch State Park and only 8 minutes from Presidio, this park has tons of spaces with plenty of room to have your own little slice of the desert. We stayed in spot 69 because we are immature, but all of the spots offer great views and peace and quiet. Maxine was the one running the show when we stayed and she keeps the bath house and laundry room spotless. She knows a lot about the nearby area so be sure to ask if you have any questions. We stayed 2 non-consecutive nights and will be back again when we are in the area :)
GuideGreat site tucked in-between foothills. Nice sized space with picnic table and fire pit. Plenty of room for multiple tents and additional vehicles. Could bring small camper but one washout in road could prove challenging unless have short tongue and higher clearance. Old windmill and tank make for nice scenery. No bear box. About 20-30 mnts from ranger station on dirt and bumpy roads. Nice solitude and very peaceful!
RangerThis pin is actually across the road from where the Upper & Lower Madera campgrounds are. As the name suggests, one is on a plateau and one is on the ground/ river level. There is a clearly marked sign for Upper Madera, but the sign to turn for Lower Madera is simply a “river access” sign. The Lower Madera sign is visible only once you turn onto the road.
I stayed for a few nights at Lower Madera because it’s the closest thing I could find to Big Bend National Park, which is still about an hour drive away. Luckily the drive up and down River Road is absolutely stunning!
I stayed in site 10, which was a bit set back from the road and could have easily fit another tent or two. I also prepaid/ reserved my stay through the Texas SP website for $12 a night.
Lower Madera is fairly desolate, there were only three other campers that I spotted throughout my two nights there. The highway was not heavily trafficked to begin with, but the plateau of Upper Madera blocks any sound that might come through. The river gurgling in the short distance is nice. This is a GREAT place for stargazing as this and the surrounding area is a designated dark sky.
Speaking of the Rio Grande, most of the shoreline is covered in brush, with an opening for boat access. From what I could tell, this boat access ramp is really the only place you can truly get to the river’s edge at the campground.
Wildlife spotting: skunks and javelinas. You can hear the coyotes yipping and howling in the middle of the night or early in the morning, but I didn’t actually see any. The skunk and javelina both went on their way when I shined my flashlight on them.
There is absolutely ZERO cell service. You may be able to pick up some phone calling service or even 3G data around Lajitas, but LTE is nonexistent out there. There is WiFi at the visitor centers within the national park.
The picnic table is metal, easy for cleaning! The fire ring was in great shape too, but there was a burn ban in effect when I came through a few days ago. There is a lot of brush to separate the campsites, but not really much for shade trees.
I would stay here again, but no longer than two nights, with a tight activity plan in place.
