Emma’s tents have it all. She has gone all out to account for every detail. And if you think she missed something she actively seeks feedback. We had everything we needed. In fact, we loved it so much that our last day we opted to skip our excursions and enjoyed hanging out in the tent free of electronics and city stress. We listened to records, took baths, and played board games. We also enjoyed the outdoor horseshoes game and hide and seek! Thank you so much.

3 nights at “Roble Perdido” private RV site

Sweet camp spot close to downtown Marfa! We enjoyed sitting outside at the picnic table and taking in the scenery. The walk downtown was easy. Definitely recommend!

This place was a glamping heaven! We enjoyed our trip so much and Emma kept us so comfortable. She thought of everything we could ever need. Great distance from Big Bend! Will definitely be back and recommending this place to others!

4 nights at Cholla Ranch Camp, Glamping Tents

We really loved the cabin. Wonderfully remote, and yet not too far from Alpine. It was a great midpoint for visiting Big Bend and McDonald Observatory. Emma was super accommodating. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Cholla Ranch Camp, Glamping Tents

I loved this experience so much! Emma was so responsive and an amazing host. Directions were incredibly clear and I didn’t get lost at all. The tent was amazing and she’s really thought of every detail you could need staying there. If I find myself in the area again, I’ll definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Gardens Oasis Lobo Texas

Great stargazing, and a wild desert feeling while still having basic amenities. Helpful hints (especially if you arrive after dark): when it says turn at the sign, follow the "RV Sites" signs and not the arrows, or you'll end up on private land. after the turn off of the last public road, it's a few miles, and the two gates (left for camping and right for RVs) are right in front of the campground, not earlier on the dirt road [I was confused about whether there might be a separate drive for the tent and RV Sites, but they're close together and you want to follow the desert gardens signs for a good bit until you see both gates]. The bath area is nice, but the shower is visible from some of the sites, if privacy is a concern consider a swimsuit. The pallet bench and table were nice additions for cooking and setting up. Desert sunrise and the 360 view was unbeatable

Like all the previous reviews stated, we had a wonderful experience. Well stocked cabin and a convenient location. Don’t hesitate to book

Weekend Trip to “Roble Perdido” private RV site

Nice host. Good communication. Good hookups. Clean site. Only clarification I would offer is the site is fenced on 3 sides but open to the front with very close neighbors on all sides. Having your pet "off leash" here would be difficult without them getting involved with neighboring pets.
