With 160 acres located just off Highway 118, two miles north of Study Butte, 7 miles from Terlingua Ghost Town, 7 miles from Big Bend National Park and 16 miles from Big Bend Ranch State Park, Arboles Muertos is a perfect place for tent campers, small trailers and Class-B RV's and digital nomads to set up a home base for all the many activities in the area. Your privacy is our #1 priority, so our sites are spread out over the property and most are not in view of other sites, providing you with a backcountry camping experience, yet only a few minutes off the highway. For large groups, or those that are into a more social camping experience, we also have a cluster of three sites spaced about 150 feet apart. We have several spotlessly clean composting pit toilets on the property, all just a short walk from your site. All guests have access to our centrally located outdoor shower. Rancho de los Arboles Muertos gets its name from the 25 foot tall Eastern Red Cedar trees that are being salvaged from land clearing operations near Austin and "planted" around the property. We're located directly across the highway from Willow Mountain, with 800 foot sheer faces and rising over 1000 feet above the highway, making it one of the most prominent features in the area next to the Chisos of Big Bend. The property is covered in Ocotillo, hidden arroyos, tall bentonite dunes, volcanic ridges, dry creeks and the occasional fossil. Trail runners can easily create 5 mile loop over ridges and in arroyos without leaving the property. For the burners out there, the place will have an unmistakable deep playa vibe once all trees have made it home )'( Socialized dogs are allowed on leash, but we do have a high coyote population in the area, as well as other dangers to pets. Large groups are welcome and we also rent the entire 160 acre property for private events. Please contact us for more info. We are a completely off-grid property, so remember to bring water! In the event of heavy rain, the roads could become impassible for a few hours to a couple days. If we see a major storm in the forecast, we will contact you directly to discuss options. The rainy season is late summer, however, and we are not taking bookings during that time, so this should not be an issue. Check out our Instagram page for more about us @arboles_muertos

Such a beautiful night sky!
My son and I really enjoyed staying here. It was quiet, we had clear skies, cool weather and given it was a new moon, the Milky Way was just beautiful rising over Willow Mountain. We saw no less than 5 meteors between 4am and 6:45am. Our campsite was just 5 minutes to Terlingua and 10 minutes to the entrance of BBNP, so easy to get everywhere we wanted to go.

Unsupervised at Arboles Muertos
5 Star!
Camping without sacrificing comfort! It was a perfect spot for us to post up while we visited the Big Bend Area! We had our dog with us which limited what we could do at the park so the camp was a great place to spend the majority of the time. Plenty of space and seclusion! Plenty of water! The propane range was great to cook on and make tea on every morning! Super accessable, dirt roads were managable. The tent and bed were clean and comfortable, kept us cool in the day and warm at night! Plenty of stars to be seen when the sky is clear!

Disco
Perfect Big Bend Camp Grounds
Disco was amazing! Great location, and secluded enough to make it feel like you are truly alone. The out house and the outdoor shower were an amazing touch! I recommend staying on this land if you are ever visiting Ghost Town or Big Bend, this is a great location!

This was the perfect place to stay to explore Big Bend! The cabins are so comfortable and beautiful…truly works of art! Even the outhouse is a work of art! We had a lovely stay and hope to come again.

Love, love, love
We stayed at disco and it was spectacular! The location to town and the park is fantastic, nice and easy to get to both. We loved the peaceful days and nights, walked throughout the property, and saw beautiful wildlife. The w outdoor shower was the cherry on top ☺️
