Caja Caliente

Caja Caliente is a remote and off-grid 5 acre parcel that is used for recreational camping. It has been an amazing place to view the Milky-way and Stars throughout the year. Caja Caliente is located on West Road in the Big Bend Valley region of the Terlingua Ranch, with stunning views of 9-Point Mesa, Red Bluff, Black Hill, and some amazing sunsets.

Summer months can be extremely hot and dry, so bring enough water. The camping is primitive so all trash should be carried out by campers. Please take care of the Porta-Potty so that it remains in good condition for other campers.  (Please report any unsatisfactory conditions to Zach).

Noe's Nest camping shelter is by reservation only.

The property corners are staked with G227 and all campers must remain within those property boundaries while camping. All campers must obey observed burn-bans due to drought conditions.

Be advised..... The host is NOT at the property.  You will receive a welcome packet 48 hours before your arrival with detailed instructions for arrival and campsites.

Please, enjoy the beauty of West Texas!
