Chill spot
Great spot to visit Big Bend, Marfa and the McDonald observatory. Easy drive through, 30amp and 50 amp hook ups are convenient with a 120 outlet for a Bluetooth speaker. The water is beside the power so everything is tight where you need it. Easy to find and drive through at night. Super friendly host with an awesome little country store for basic items like ice cream and beer! I highly recommend this spot.

Great experience if visiting the area. Not only was Pam helpful and great talking to, but customers that came in the store while we were there were super nice and pleasant. WiFi, electric, and water worked great. Lastly, enjoyed seeing and hearing the donkeys. We intend on visiting again!

Tesla Camping at Jackass Flats!
I had a great time staying at this RV/Tent site! I was looking for a place nearby Big Bend National & Big Bend Ranch SP and found this spot on HipCamp which did not disappoint! Communication was great, since I had lots of questions before my trip. Once I got there I was met with friendly greeting with some of the nicest people! The site was pretty spacious too and I was testing out Tesla camping with the necessary NEMA 14-50 outlet. I watched some of most beautiful sunsets & sunrises during my stay there and also my pup made friends with the local horses & donkey's which were pretty social and friendly. Also if you need any supplies the local general store has a great variety of necessities. I would definitely come back and stay here again!

A unique setting with horses, Donkeys and friendly neighbors. The dog loved the freedom and new friends. Bathrooms were less than ideal. If you have your own solution, bring it.
