Dessert Under The Stars
1. Dessert Under The Stars
30mi from Fort Hancock · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Escape to your own slice of wide-open West Texas desert — 20 acres of quiet, flat, and hill land surrounded by endless views of distant mountains, sunrises, and stars that fill the night sky.
This raw land is perfect for boondocking, stargazing, overlanding, photography, or off-grid camping.
You’ll have the space all to yourself — no neighbors, no noise, just desert peace and open horizons.
The property is lightly covered in small mesquite and desert brush with dirt-road access (high-clearance or 4WD recommended).
No utilities or facilities — this is true primitive camping. Bring everything you need in and pack everything out.
Located about 15 minutes from Sierra Blanca, and just off I-10, it’s an ideal stopover for travelers heading between El Paso and Van Horn or for anyone wanting to unplug under the stars.

What a beautiful night! The stars were bright and everywhere, the land was lovely, and we slept like babies in the silence. One of the most beautiful places we've boondocked! The host was friendly and got us to the right place quickly, it's not far from I-10, and we'd be delighted to stay again next time we're passing through.
