Primitive camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Sky Ranch is the result of a love for the desert and for 1980s post-apocalyptic movies. A place to step out of our busy lives and be still, gain a new perspective, and imagine a different way to live. Once the floor of a large inland sea, Sky Ranch Terlingua is covered with fossilized mollusk shells. After the water receded, the area was visited by various animal and human migrations. Today, Sky Ranch is a refuge for two native Texans with deep roots that predate Texas itself.  "Be friendly, but firm. But most of all, be yourselves."  - Lester, Cherry 2000

Magical Desert Ramada
Great spot with excellent views of the desert and sunset. The lights on the Ramada were a cool feature as well.

Peaceful, quiet, beautiful stay
If you're looking for peace and quiet with beautiful views, this is the place! Really enjoyed our time here. It was windy, but the shelter helped. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Loved that it's so close to the park entrance!

Sky Ranch North Shelter
Sky Ranch was a great shelter to camp at on my way out of Big Bend. Plenty of dark sky here as well. Just had a chance to bike before I lost daylight but mountain biking the roads here would be fun too. This is an easy (and quick) site to get to just off of highway with direct instructions provided by host.

Great place to stay
Really enjoyed my stay here, it's a great place to set up your tent and not have it blown away by the desert wind. I brought a solar shower bag here with me and it was great for taking a shower after the long day. It's probably the closest place to the national park, aside from being in the park itself. There is no cell service out here, or in the town, pretty much at all. I downloaded offline maps and put a marker on where the site was, it made it easier to find once I got there. I also saved the gps coordinates. This campsite is a great place for watching the stars, getting away from it all and just listening to the sound of nature.
