Easy to get to, we were the only camper here. Some fishermen down on the water during the day but we were the only campers. Our 42’ 5th wheel fit nicely on the gravel patch by the cement picnic table. Only rules are to register (info on the sign, free but you have to call the number) and don’t park on the grass (there were some day use people parked on the grass but they want campers on the gravel) - can’t beat it for free.
This is an easy to access, big rig friendly pull off spot along where folks can watch the Marfa lights. Since that’s an overnight activity, you’re allowed to stay for a night. There is a bathroom, but no showers. Felt safe, not too much road noise after sunset.
We were looking for a safe, large space to camp for the night with our 42’ fifth wheel and the viewing area was perfect for what we needed. There isn’t any BLM in Texas but since this viewing area is for a nighttime phenomenon you’re permitted to camp for one night. Thrilled to have seen the lights dancing even during a full moon. If you’re into the unexplained, you’ll love it.
There is also a restroom available, added bonus.
Stayed here last month and loved it so much we had to come back! Camp hosts Bob and Donna are helpful and welcoming - they have lots of sleds to borrow if you want to take a trip to the dunes for some fun. No sewer at the site but dump station is easy to access. Good shower facilities. Site #41 is our absolute favorite - huge, 2 level site with lots of room for our son to play. Nice cement table, fire pit and gravel tent pad as well. Nestled next to the mountains but full sun during the day which is great for us since we have solar panels and no electric at the site. Some walk in sites available if you don’t have a reservation - first come, first served. Always see a combination of campers, rvs, tents and vans. Peaceful with gorgeous views.
Easy to find, 2 miles of sandy road with pull offs - warning about the terrain - the sand is soft in some spots and larger rigs could get stuck. We lucked out and found a space to back our 42’ camper into with no problem. Be aware, you are surrounded by a beautiful cactus forest and dogs could have some trouble. Other magic includes cows walking by your site and we got 4” of snow overnight (it was 62 degrees when we parked!) - great place to rest your head for the night.
Lots of room, easy to access with our 42’ fifth wheel. Close enough to 95 to be convenient but far enough away to have nice star viewing and no noise from the freeway.
