We have a nice view of the McDonald Observatory (only 7.5 miles as the crow flies) and we are 35 minutes from Alpine and Marfa. *Please know this is a primitive campsite, there are no restrooms or trash receptacles. You must be prepared to take out what you bring in. Unfortunately, past guests have left it unkempt which makes us have to vet out who we will host.

Lastly, this is not a place for large group gatherings or a place to party. ~Leave No Trace~
