Desert camping

Not very big area but it was ok, voices echo so night time you might have difficulty sleeping it was 1am and group of people were being rowdy the person near us had to yell at them to quiet down and those people were a good distance from us. There is no shade keep in mind , The hot showers were very nice and very big, really like the fact that you need a gate code to get into the camp ground, my daughter was disappointed that there was no actual goats at the goat pen lol said the name was click bate lol bottom line I would stay here again. Jeff even sends a welcome text.

New favorite campground in Terlingua

Jeff was a great host. Hot showers and nice eco bathrooms. The stars at night are incredible! Definitely will return to this campsite in future trips. Very close to big bend! did look and look twice. Would have been 5 stars but man had to haul out my trash bags in my car as there was no dumpster.

Best boondocking with perks

Fabulous easy access camping in Terlingua. Hot shower, clean toilets, and open land for lots of hiking and exploring. Super close to Terlingua if you want dinner out and then Big Bend or Big Bend State exploring. Owner is super friendly and knows the area very well. This is desert and basically a large gravel based area so don’t expect lush foliage. Highly recommend when looking for a jumping off point to explore the area.
