2 nights at “Roble Perdido” private RV site

It was a private area with picnic table and solar lights/ plug in lights and an easy walk/drive to town. I felt very safe and despite a local dog barking many hours into the evening, it was very relaxing! I would recommend it and return!

4 nights at Peaceful Private RV Space

Great host, and convenient location. Close to the balmorea state park.

Weekend Trip to Peaceful Private RV Space

It was a good stop for an overnight stay. In the earlier evening hours someone down the street was needlessly honking their car horn. However, the neighborhood was peaceful during the time we slept into the next morning. Upon arrival, a kind gentleman made sure my husband was settled in.

Good spot for a couple of nights. Quiet area and the host was very responsive and friendly. Power ✔️ Water ✔️ Dump ✔️

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!

1 night at Peaceful Private RV Space

Very kind hosts! The place was exactly as described. We sat by the fire and enjoyed the night sky full of stars.

1 night at Peaceful Private RV Space

Fairly level and quiet, working class residential area, felt safe.

1 night at Rancho Del Mapache - Big Bend

The description of the place is accurate. The entrance is very easy to miss. There’s only one rock stack and it’s small. About 12”X12”. The reflective poles are skinny fiberglass tent poles, maybe 3’ high. The best bet is to look for the abandoned house as described. The entrance is there. The sign is not very visible from the road. If you’re on a motorcycle, be aware that you get into pretty deep sand very quickly after entering and going past a few of the marked sites. I would stay again if passing by. It’s very quiet, and good night sky viewing. Border patrol occasionally uses the entrance road with horses or quads but not the night I stayed. I did pull over and let a border patrol officer who was parked nearby know that I was going to stay there that night. We spoke for a few minutes and I didn’t get any sense that he thought it was a bad idea. Like I said, I’d certainly stay again.

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.

1 night at Peaceful Private RV Space

Host very friendly and helpful. A lot of trash (McDonald bags and cups) we had to back over.

Rancho Del Mapache - Big Bend

8 sites · RVs, Tents41 acres · Presidio, TX

We purchased this land in April of 2020 with the intent of restoring and transforming this now feral land into a natural oasis; a restorative, sacred place for flora, fauna, mind, body, and spirit. We love traveling and camping and recognized a need for private camping without the hustle and bustle sometimes experienced on public lands. Rancho del Mapache is still in its infancy, but with your help, we will restore the land to a beautiful, natural, native landscape and preserve it for all to enjoy affordably and privately. The area of presidio is likely the longest continually settled place in North America, with the history spanning tens of thousands of years. More recently, the Spanish settled the area In the early 1600s, establishing a mission and garrison. Despite extended human habitation, the desert remains remarkably unchanged. Roads are cut, rivers are tapped, new plants appear, still the desert remains. The area also holds the records as the hottest and coldest places in the state of Texas.This 40-acre parcel was once part of the town of Adobes. The area is now called the Adobes Ghost Town. Cotton and sheep were farmed from the mid-1800s until the late 1970s. There are still plenty of artifacts to explore pointing to a tough life in a rugged land. Whatever antiquities you come across, please leave them as they were found so someone else can enjoy the same discovery.

Camping near Marfa with campfires guide

Overview

The tiny town of Marfa sits in West Texas, close to Davis Mountains State Park and Big Bend National Park. With a population of just 2,000, Marfa definitely has a remote, small-town feel to it. It's over 6 hours east to the state capital, Austin. Even El Paso is almost 4 hours to the west! Make sure you're stocked up on everything you need before making the drive out here. If you've got a taste for the unexplained, you won't want to miss the chance to see the infamous Marfa Mystery Lights. Strange luminous orbs seem to dance around at dusk in the air close to Highway 90. Researchers believe the lights might be an optical illusion caused by heat haze or car headlights. Less scientifically minded viewers think there might be a paranormal explanation. No one has proved anything either way, though, so go see for yourself! Traveling via RV? Try Tumble In RV Park, which sits a quarter-mile east of Marfa proper. Tumble In is fairly small, with just 14 sites. The site does offer full hookups, strong Wi-Fi access, and tent camping options.
