Rancho de los Arboles Muertos
8 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents160 acres · TXWith 160 acres located just off Highway 118, two miles north of Study Butte-Terlingua, 7 miles from Terlingua Ghost Town, 7 miles from Big Bend National Park and 16 miles from Big Bend Ranch State Park, Arboles Muertos is a perfect place to set up a home base for all the many activities in the area. We're located directly across the highway from Willow Mountain, with 800 foot sheer faces and rising over 1000 feet above the highway, making it one of the most prominent features in the area next to the Chisos of Big Bend. The property is covered in Ocotillo, hidden arroyos, tall bentonite dunes, volcanic ridges, dry creeks and the occasional fossil. Trail runners can easily create 5 mile loop over ridges and in arroyos without leaving the property.
Rancho de los Arboles Muertos gets its name from the 25 foot tall Eastern Red Cedar trees that are being salvaged from land clearing operations near Austin and "planted" around the property. It's an ongoing process, with over 40 trees still waiting to be transported to the site. For the burners out there, the place will have an unmistakable deep playa vibe once all trees have made it home )'(
The property is surrounded on 3 sides by tall hills, sheltering it from some of the high winds the area is known for, and the nearest dwelling is over a mile away and not visible from most of the sites, giving it an almost backcountry feel, yet only 2 miles from town. Campers can reserve individual or group drive in sites with primitive fire pits and level tent areas, or choose our most unique option, The Pit(Bishop, CA has a piece of my heart). These 15 sites are a 1-3 minute walk from the parking area and are first come, first camp. This area is spread out over several acres, with fire pits and leveled tent spaces. A cart is available for gear.
Socialized dogs are allowed on leash, but we do have a high coyote population in the area, as well as other dangers to pets.
Large groups are welcome. Please let us know before booking and we will try to reserve an entire space for the privacy of your group.
We are a completely off-grid property, so remember to bring water! We have a pit toilet on site--new and unused as of March 11, 2022.
In the event of heavy rain, the roads could become impassible for a few hours to a couple days. If we see a major storm in the forecast, we will contact you directly to discuss options. The rainy season is late summer, however, and we are not taking bookings during that time, so this should not be an issue.

This is the ultimate GLAMPING experience fully outfitted with everything you need if you're a party of 2, 4 or 16!
You'll love the views, location & privacy!
Our private hilltop location provides stargazers an ideal vantage point to view the night sky and the Milky Way. The sunrise and sunset views of the Chisos & Big Bend are unparalleled, making for an ideal location for photographers or those who want to just sit and stare.
An artist's flair, we’re full of funky accents most impressively a mural paying respect to the area painted by some of Austin’s most talented. It’s truly special! We've worked hard to make it as fun as it is functional with literally everything your group of up to 10 would need to have a trip of a lifetime. We’ve thought of most things & have really set this place up for like-minded individuals to have a jaw-dropping, special experience, unlike nowhere else in Terlingua.
This private glamping camp is loaded with the everything you'll need for your entire group to have the Big Bend trip of a lifetime. We comfortably accommodate 6 guests in provided shelters but are open to larger parties who tent camp or bring their own RV as we offer 120V, 30 & 50 amp plug-ins with NO water or septic hookups. Having no septic we use composting toilets which work extremely well. Using a water catchment system we catch & filter water offering an amazing, heated outdoor shower privately peering out into the rolling mountains & valleys. We also use Berkey water systems to further filter drinking water. Read below to understand more of what we offer & please don’t hesitate to message directly with any questions.

**Bed on wheels – feel free to sleep under the stars or roll into the living area if you’d just like to be outside. It’s one of my favorite things out here!
**Here’s the deal with beds & linens
Worth noting before reading the following. Our cleaning fee is only $50.
Towels & sheets are NOT provided as part of the camp. We DO provide good pillows and all mattresses are brand new & in excellent condition.
Towels– We DO NOT provide bath & kitchen towels. You will need to bring your own & pack them out.
Bed Sheets- We DO NOT offer sheets as part of standard rentals. Since human & non-human resources are hard to come by in these parts we ask that you bring your own sheets if you can.
---We DO offer a paid option for an additional charge of $100 which would be paid separately after rental has been made.
---IF you bring your own sheets you’ll need to bring 1 king set for camper & 1 queen set for a glamping tent. Additionally, if you want to use the rolling bed you’d want another queen set or top sheet at a minimum. There are also 2 new 6" foam twin mattress that live inside glamping tent. Bring sheets if you want or great for sleeping bags.
**Outdoor Living Room
The 500 sq foot, covered, outdoor living room has a communal vibe offering panoramic views of everything you came out to enjoy. You came out to the desert to star gaze & be in nature but watching Nextfilx or Youtube in the desert is kinda cool too. You and your group will find yourself spending a fair amount of time under the awning as it’s a great, shady retreat on a hot summer day! We’re also stocked with 4-5 collapsible chairs & a couple zero-gravity that are really nice to spread around.
**The Road
The road coming up from Ghost Town (1 mile) is an unpaved dirt/ gravel road that’s pretty rough maintained by property owners and the Terlingua Ranch, so please take it slow. You shouldn’t have any issues getting a car of any size up but it will be rocky so roll slow.
**The Utilities & what to expect
Water: We are not on any public water or septic system so conservation is the word but we’ll always have plenty of good, clean water for you & your group. We do use a 2000 gallon water catchment system to collect water which is then filtered. Berkey water filters are used for drinking water.
Composting Toilets x 2 - These toilets work extremely well & are extremely clean & simple to use. One toilet is located inside the camper & the other is privately located on the backside of the building next to shower. How often do you get to “go” in the middle of the desert? It’s exhilarating and part of the experience.
Electricity: We are on the grid with plenty of power. The camper & living area have plenty of power and we offer 30 & 50 AMP outside if you choose to bring an RV.
**Dark Sky Community
We’ve made every effort to comply with the "Dark Sky" initiative and ask that all lights be turned down or turned-off when not in use. The community’s efforts in this manner will keep us one of the darkest skies in the U.S. and provide great stargazing from literally anywhere on the property. We ask you respect this and not irresponsibly use outdoor lighting. This makes for an optimal experience for all. It will be clear when you’re on the hill that all neighbors respect this & take it very seriously.
**Other Things
-Pack it in & pack it out. We provide a 55 gallon trash drum with commercial grade bags & ask you to take your trash when you leave.
-Firewood can be difficult to find at times. Consider bringing a bundle with you.
-Flashlights or headlamps are a must for moving around at night.
- It goes without saying that this is desert land and there are poisonous snakes & other undesired desert creatures. This reigns true for anywhere you find yourself down this way but it is always important to be careful.
- Weather fluctuations in the desert can be extreme & unpredictable. Heavy wind can pick up at any point in time so your tents will need to be secured appropriately & precautions taken when you leave camp or go to sleep. There’s plenty of rocks around to get creative as the hard ground is impossible to get tent stakes into. Plan accordingly.
**Events & Commercial Photoshoots
Are not permitted without prior approval, applicable permit and additional fees. We would love to host your special event and can offer advice for additional services/suppliers in addition to hosting you.
**Pets
Big Bend National Park does not allow pets on trails so it’s advised to leave them behind with their second most favorite. You’re welcome to bring yours but sometimes leaving them behind makes the most sense so they’re not sitting in a trailer or tent all day if you go to the park.
**SOCIAL MEDIA
If you plan on sharing your experience on social media, please mention us #thorntoya

Desert Teahouse
3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents30 acres · TXThis land is pristine desert land north of Presidio, TX
The den is a bell tent with a 12 foot diameter. It is made of fabric and a protected plastic floor. The tent zips completely closed so you don't have to worry about critters. It can be a bit hot during the day, but cools off really quickly once the sun goes down.
It is a twin bed. There is plenty of space for other people to sleep in sleeping bags.
There is a parking space right next to the tent, about 30 feet away. It is a pull off of the main road, you can't miss it. There is a rock path guiding you to the tent from the parking.
I am available to offer tea at the teahouse. If you are interested please reach out to me when you book and I can tell you the details. If you don't book a night but are interested, please search Desert Tea Ceremony in AirBnB experiences.
Don't forget you are in the desert. There are snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, coyotes, javelinas and perhaps mountain lions. But don't worry, most people will never see most of the animals. But just be mindful and use a flashlight at night if you are walking around.
You are responsible for your own water, food, cooking equipment, toilet paper and trash. If you need to use the bathroom, please dig a small hole and then cover it.
There is a camping zone with a palm tree shade structure, a pizza oven, a wooden standing height table and a fire pit with some rustic seating. If you want to explore, please take your shoes off and be respectful of the space. It is meant for meditation, yoga and tea. Please no food or drinks that may stain the wood.
We have heard from guests that the bird watching on the property is excellent. I'm not an enthusiast yet... maybe you can help me learn which birds are on the property. I see hawks sitting on ocotillos a lot, that's the extent of my knowledge :)
We are 2.5 miles off the highway in the middle of the desert. We have one neighbor who may drive by and they are friendly. Otherwise your neighbors are birds, jack rabbits and you may hear some javelinas at night and strange lights off in the distance. But they are just cars on distant highways... we think.

Outdoor stays for every style
Find your new favorite spot.
Hidden away in the heart of Big Bend country and surrounded by the Chihuahuan Desert, Marfa is one of the surprising stars of far West Texas. Art lovers flock to the pioneering exhibitions of Donald Judd’s Chinati Foundation, the Prada Marfa “shop,” and the Ballroom Marfa event center, and crowds descend on the small town from July through September for a series of music and art festivals. Marfa’s creative spirit shines through in its glamping options, too, whether you book a vintage trailer, rent a yurt or tipi, or sleep beneath the Texan stars in a “cosmic casita.” Desert views and world-class bird-watching await at Davis Mountains State Park to the north, where glampers can check into the Indian Lodge, or head south to stay in a luxury glamping tent on the edge of Big Bend National Park, home to some of Texas’ most dramatic hikes.
