Weekend Trip to Crows Peak Tents

INCREDIBLE!!! I can't say enough great things about this site or these hosts! A truly wonderful experience. The tents are super cool and very secure - it felt like being on Safari. Such a pleasure to be able to lay in bed and watch the sunset and sunrise. The views are incredible and the pictures don't do them justice. The hosts are super accommodating and friendly too - 10/10 recommend!!

I can’t believe we were so lucky to find this place! The tempt was amazing and so comfortable. The views couldn’t be beat from every single angle. We are avid campers and had brought our expensive cook stove. We tried to fire it up to cook dinner only to find that it was totally broken! We ate our dinner cold and we’re sitting around wondering how we were gonna make our camp coffee in the morning when I pulled out the binder of information from the tent. They supply a camp stove in a bottle of propane and a bottle of water! Our trip was saved! We can’t wait to come back here.

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.

Weekend Trip to Crows Peak Tents

For a same day booking, Jimmi and wife were able to turn around their campsite in just one hour! The tent was clean, easy to access, and provided a stunning view of the desert!

Weekend Trip to Crows Peak Tents

We were weary travelers fresh off the trail and this tent was a perfect sanctuary! The bed was super comfy and the moon set/ sunrise views were breathtaking!

Weekend Trip to Crows Peak Tents

4 nights at Crows Peak Tents

Four days at Jimmi's site in Terulinga felt like stepping into another world. Surrounded by majestic mountains, the beauty of the location is simply breathtaking. The night sky, a vast canvas of glittering stars, shrinks you to a humbling speck, leaving an indelible mark on your soul. This secluded haven offers a profound sense of peace, a true escape. While the nearest amenities are a bit of a drive – a 30-minute trip for groceries and a 15-minute journey on a rough, unpaved road to the Terulinga Cabin for showers – the tranquility and natural splendor more than compensate. Pack provisions, embrace the adventure, and prepare for an unforgettable experience. Without hesitation, I give Jimmi's site a glowing 10/10

Weekend Trip to Crows Peak Tents

Jimmi and Abbey were fantastic hosts—gracious, welcoming, and always willing to accommodate. Their property is a true desert oasis, offering both privacy and seclusion, making it the perfect escape from the crowds. The tents were spacious and thoughtfully set up, with incredibly comfortable beds that made for a restful night under the stars. The location couldn’t be better—just a short drive from Big Bend and Terlingua, yet far enough away to feel completely immersed in nature. The sunsets over the desert were absolutely breathtaking, and the night sky was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. If you're looking for a peaceful, off-the-grid retreat with stunning views and great hospitality, this is the place!

Weekend Trip to Crows Peak Tents

By far our favorite Hip Camp stay yet! Crows Peak made for a romantic and cozy getaway for Valentines weekend. The hosts were very accommodating, even gifting us treats for V day! A good mix in between glamping & camping. Boyfriend and I typically camp, but we felt like treating ourselves! It was lovely to wake up to the sunrise and bird songs. It was even more awesome to fall asleep under the stars and see the moon glow. This site felt unreal. 100% recommend for anyone wanting an escape but still staying near Big Bend!

Weekend Trip to Crows Peak Tents

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time staying in the tent. We were exploring Big Bend for a weekend and used this as our home base, and it was a perfect spot to enjoy great scenery in a secluded area while still having some comforts like a real bed and phone chargers. The stars at night were incredibly vibrant, and sunrise over the ranch was gorgeous. Definitely would recommend it for anyone looking for a unique blend of glamping and primitive camping in a beautiful setting.

3 nights at Casa de Keaveny Cabin and Campsite

Jim is a very friendly host with lots of stories to tell. We love this cabin and this was our third stay at the Casa. Dark skies, and quiet nights.

23 nights at Casa de Keaveny Cabin and Campsite

My wife and I really enjoyed our 3 week stay at Casa de Keavany during January. Our host Jim was very attentive and helped provide the local perspective for our activities. If peace, quiet and serenity are what you are looking for, than look no further. The views are spectacular in every direction. The cozy comfy cabin provided all the conveniences we were looking for in this off the grid setting. We love spending time in Big Bend National park and Terlingua and are looking forward to a return trip!

23 nights at Casa de Keaveny Cabin and Campsite

Jim's cabin was as described, and with added comforts including a flush toilet, shower and bed on the lower level so these older bones didn't have to climb a steep stairway each night! Jim was available, helpful and friendly, assisting with any issues that came up.

2 nights at Cholla Ranch Camp, Glamping Tents

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!

Casa de Keaveny Cabin and Campsite

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents30 acres · Alpine, TX

Beautiful land in the Chihuahua desert north of the Christmas mountains and south of the famous 9 point Mesa. Just north of Mexico and 30 min from Big Bend National park and The Terlingua ghostown . West Texas. Off grid small house running on solar power and rain water catchment. Very cozy. Plenty of land for camping also, discuss with Jim for pricing, if interested. Mr. Keaveny built the house himself over a 10 year period. Very private, although Mr. Keaveny lives on the property in his Jayco most of the time, and sometimes a camping site is rented ----however always giving the house lots of space. Great place for long term rental, see discounts.
