Tierra del Sol Basecamp

Description

Camp in the Southwestern Texas Desert outside of Big Bend at Tierra Del Sol. This primitive campsite sits below the Bofecillos Mountains in the Terlingua Ranch. It gives you immediate access to the surrounding area including the rafting, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and scenic sightseeing. Use this desert camp spot as your base camp while visiting Big Bend.

Remote and Quiet (in a good way)

My friends and I camped here for 2 nights on site #1 to be able to visit Big Bend National Park (about a 45 minute drive away). It's a very rocky road to get there off the highway (follow the written directions from the owner, they're very helpful!), but there's plenty of space for multiple cards to pull up. The compost outhouse is perfect, and the views are amazing. Only mild downside is that it's def windy, so keep that in mind when thinking about campfires, cooking, and sleeping in a tent.

10/10 would go back.
