The Tierra del Sol Basecamp is an open desert camping area located within Terlingua Ranch, 3 miles off of Hwy 118, 19 miles north of Study Butte and 22 miles to the entrance to Big Bend National Park. This region of far west Texas is well known for its remote ruggedness and beauty rapidly becoming the go-to place for those wanting to get away from it all, without having to spend a fortune to do it. It’s one of the last frontiers of North America and One of the only two National Parks in Texas. The Basecamp will reside on the 40 acre property. In the center is an area of approximately 6 acres flat, with rising limestone ridge lines to the east and west, open skyline to south with a view of Bofecillos Mountains, an area characterized by volcanic deposits of lava and ash-flow tuff and sedimentary deposits of conglomerates and sandstones. The four mountain tops; Packsaddle, Hen Egg, Panther and Agua Fria Mountains provide an amazing view during the day and at night, breathtaking night time views of the Milky Way and the multitudes of stars to gaze upon unlike any other place in North America. The morning sunrise over the eastern mesa brings its own spectacular views. Surrounding the 40 acres are many things of archaeological wonder. A Rock Hounds dream of minerals, stones and fossilized prehistoric microorganisms, as well as, the potential of finding the fossils of large prehistoric aquatic mammals. Yes, you are free to take a small sample of the thousands of quartz and calcite stones found in huge abundance. As you come to then end of Mailbox Rd., you'll see a residence to your left. This is "The Field Lab", owned by the well know sustainable engineer John Wells. If you'd like to pay him a visit, please contact him in advance.

Site 6 - Tierra del Sol Basecamp
Beautiful views and an amazing host
You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful campsite, or a better host. No matter what site you pick the views are amazing, but site 6 is the one you want. Site 6 is the farthest site back and it’s down in a valley, but you still have beautiful views with the plus of having great wind protection. Kyle is an awesome host. We had to book last minute with him at Tierra Del Sol after another HipCamp host decided to hit and run our vehicle as we arrived at The Goat Pens, we immediately started looking for another campsite and Kyle’s was the first one on the list so we rolled the dice, and we are so happy we picked Tierra Del Sol Basecamp. Kyle called us almost immediately after we booked and after hearing what just happened at the other site Kyle even met us out by the road and showed us right to our spot and made sure we were all set.

Site 1 - Tierra del Sol Basecamp
Beautiful Property!
Beautiful property especially if you want to get away from it all! After we arrived, we just sat for 20 minutes in complete silence taking it all in; beautiful and absolutely quiet. We stayed at site 1 and the other campsites were far enough away. Toilet on site is kept very neat and was conveniently located to our site. Directions were easy to follow and the owner was very helpful!

Site 6 - Tierra del Sol Basecamp
This was to date our best boondocking spot and we have been a lot of places. If peace and quiet is what you’re searching for this is your spot. Lots of exploring and only 40 Miles to BIG Bend National Park. The host was extremely helpful and kind. You will not regret your decision to stay here under the stars.

Kyle’s land is absolutely gorgeous. We definitely appreciated the signs to get to the site. Highly recommend to save the directions as cell service coming up to the road was very spotty. Our camp site was gorgeous. We stayed in site 3. I think ideally I don’t like to see other sites or the landowners living area when I camp. When you drive up you can see Kyles living space but once at site 3 all you see is the land and mountains all around. after speaking to Kyle he said the best site for wind and tent camping was site 6 so we’d probably do the site if we came back as it was very winding during our trip. The toilet accommodations were adequate and we had a blast looking at all the crystals and stones literally everywhere at site 3. I would definitely return!
