Terlingua's only Hostel. Walking distance to all things in the Historic Ghost Town. We offer private rooms, a bunk room, primitive campsites and small motorhome sites. Huge communal area with a large bar (BYOB), well appointed kitchen, very nice bathrooms/showers, as well as frequent live music. Focusing on creating a strong community, social gatherings, including pot luck and fundraisers, and celebrating music, Willie Nelson and all things middle fingered. As we tell everyone, no need to wave with all your offensive fingers when it only takes 1 finger to say "I Love You!" We have a lot of fun here and have become a real social spot in this incredible community. When staying here you can expect to meet other travelers and locals alike. If you play music, all the better, as music usually fills the air here. From the house piano to any number of friends who stop by just to jam for a while. We are 21 and up, due to having a bar (BYOB) and just want adults to feel comfortable being adults . So bring an instrument, a sense of humor and a middle finger and come experience the magic that is Terlingua, Texas.

We offer a uniquely secluded setting with stunning views of the Chisos Mountains. Located just 7 miles from the entrance to Big Bend National Park, and 10 miles from the visitors' center at Big Bend Ranch State Park, it is a perfect base from which to explore all the hiking, boating, and scenic beauty that West Texas is known for. The arts, history, and entertainment of Terlingua Ghost Town are less than 2 miles away. Like most ruins in the Ghost Town, my stone house was built in the early 1900s to house a miner’s family from the nearby Rainbow Mine. I bought the property in 1986 and began restoring and rebuilding. In 2019 I retired here from NYC and began exploring possibilities for sustainable tourism. West Texas is one of the best places in the United States to view the Milky Way (both Big Bend parks are certified as International Dark Sky parks). We use shielded LED lighting around buildings and pathways to cut down on light pollution and optimize stargazing opportunities for our astrotourists. And we are applying for dark sky certification from the Texan By Nature program. Bear in mind that this is the desert, in all its rugged glory. There are critters, rocks, plants with thorns, slippery slopes, sink holes, rusted artifacts and broken glass from decades long past. Bring sturdy shoes and a flashlight, and stay on the paths! Our intention is to provide remote, low-density accommodation for folks who are respectful of the land.

Weekend Trip to The Bus Stop Campground

We stayed at the Bus Stop campground with family and friends for the Big Bend Ultra and it was a great place to stay. We had friends and family in three sites all together and or worked out so great! The bathrooms and shower stalls were well maintained. The showers were nice and hot even though it was chilly weather.

Great spot in the desert! Site was great for looking at stars! I have never seen them so pronounced before! Really appreciated the amenities (showers and toilets). After being in BBNP days and using their facilities, it was nice to get a flushing toilet. Campsite 6 sits a little higher than the others (from what I can see) and offers a nice view of the surrounding area along with the adjacent little canyon. I will definitely booked this place again!

We loved our RV spot! We had a beautiful view of the mountains! Fun social space where we enjoyed dancing in the kitchen then sat by the fire pit listening to music and reflecting on the days hikes in Big Bend NP! Bathrooms and showers were clean and perfect! Great location to Great Bend National Park! Loved how close to the Ghost Town we were but yet felt like we were off grid! Definitely recommend this unique place to stay!

2 nights at Goat Pens, Cigar Springs Ranch

We had a great stay! Jeff kept in contact with us to make sure we had the directions since cell service is spotty. Very quiet spot, perfect to disconnect and enjoy a nice fire! Location is perfect since it’s in between the Big Bend National Park and Big Bend State Park. Additionally it’s not far (maybe 10 mins) from restaurants in Terlingua or the dollar general in case you forgot to pack any essentials, but still just out far enough to enjoy the quiet! Would highly recommend for a dispersed site, with a nice bonus of amenities like bathrooms and showers! We will be going back for sure!
