This central location provides an ideal basecamp close to the Terlingua Ghost Town and both Big Bend State and National Parks. The unique geology and topography of the Goat Pens made this a popular movie set and many westerns were filmed here in the 80's and 90's. Come out and enjoy seclusion, peace and quiet, awesome scenery with sunrises and sunsets to die for. All while still being able to easily take advantage of the area's other attractions. The Goat Pens includes an outdoor events venue that hosts concerts, stargazing parties, festivals and weddings. The Goat Pens also has the only drive-in movie theater in the Big Bend area. Send a text or check The Goat Pens Facebook page (@goatpens) for information and dates of events. The Goat Pens of Cigar Springs Ranch is a beautiful part of the ranch.

Loved our stay!
The Goat Pens is a stunning property that feels safe yet isolated and rustic. We loved our visit, a huge plus was the showers (they’re warm if you give them a minute!), spread out campsites, and of course the spectacular views of the stars!

Jeff was super friendly and accommodating. The whole area is really beautiful and spread out so you’re not bumping into other folks. The bathrooms are some of the nicest outhouses I’ve encountered.

First time visiting the area. I enjoyed my trip very much. The property was easy to access. I liked that you can just pick a spot you like and settle in. The bathrooms are clean and well kept.
