Closest free legit camping near Marfa

No BLM land in Texas plus the town ordinance of no overnight camping in public places means it’s tricky to find a place to sleep. The paved parking here is level, the highway noise quiets down at night and there are toilets (I didn’t check them out). It feels safe, the stargazing is great and no fear of getting the knock!

Does a bear sh** in the woods?

They do here!

As others have stated, this place is quite fine for a night or two to recharge but nothing special about the location. No view etc but easily accessed.

What has not yet been noted is that there is a lot of fresh black bear scat throughout the campsite with higher concentrations the further you go back, past the five spots with fire rings. No sightings and a problem free night but do take into consideration.
