2 nights at Cieloscuro

Karen and her four-legged friend Mojo were the ideal hosts. They met me when I arrived and were quiet, helpful and friendly throughout my stay. The site and amenities were just as advertised and I had a great stay!

1 night at The Bus Stop Campground

A beautiful setting and the amenities were PERFECT better than inside BigBend RGVillage the host was very attentive via text…Staying again for a week

3 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

It was a long and bumpy ride to our site, but worth every bounce! Beautifully tended, thoughtfully laid out plan with everything we needed and then some. The showers were big enough for two, which was convenient, and the Wi-Fi was clear and strong the entire time. Firewood placed at the site was an added bonus. Was more than satisfied!

1 night at The Bus Stop Campground

Awesome property. I only stayed for a night and rolled in pretty late, but it was very clean and easy enough to navigate. The bathrooms are the nicest I’ve ever seen at a campground in a state/national park or Hipcamp.

1 night at Rio Bravo Ranch

This was a great remote spot near Big Bend Ranch State Park. Simple shade structure, totally private. Porta potty not too far away, fire wood if you purchase, ample water.

4 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

Excellent campsite! Electric and water hooks ups worked perfectly. The water ran clear and had good pressure. The camp was clean and even included a bucket of tools in case you forgot something. Showers and restrooms were great! Awesome location and I highly recommend.

4 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

The bus stop campground is a primitive campsite without being "too primitive" The facilities, showers and restrooms are wonderful outdoor type showers. And while I was there I enjoyed the ice cold shower. It makes you feel alive again. PS I choose to take cold showers , there is hot water available!!! If you are into stargazing, off-road driving, and being between Lajitas and Terlingua, then this place is for you. The scenic drives alone are amazing and this place puts you right in the middle of all the accessible trails, highways, and scenic points and overlooks that you could spend your vacation doing from this spot as a home base. We will definitely be back!

4 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

The stay at the bus stop camp ground was perfect being between terlingua and Lajitas. The sites don’t have any shade but not a problem if you have an awning or a canopy. Just make sure to take some screw in stakes for your tent/canopy. Restrooms/ showers were very clean. Was able to explore the ground and get some hiking in for a beautiful view of the whole campground.

4 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

Awesome place to camp. Beautiful scenery, easy access to LaJitas or Terlinguia. Restrooms were very nice and clean. I was there with a group of other ladies and we will definitely be back next year. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place!

Weekend Trip to Cieloscuro

Everything about this site was wonderful, from the hospitable host to the peaceful site. Karen was so communicative and helpful to us throughout our stay. Site 6 was secluded and private, without feeling isolated, and really beautiful. The walk from the site to my car was 2-3 minutes, and a hot shower at the end of the day was the icing on the cake. Could not recommend more!

10 nights at The Rhinestone Ranch

Loved our stay. It was quiet and REMOTE! No shade and completely dry camping but exactly what we were looking for. :)

2 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

This was definitely a cool place to stay. The desert views were amazing. You should hike up to the water pump (it looks like a pterodactyl). There were some water issues, but it may have been related to the power outage on the first night of my stay. There was a little wash basin with water at every site with running water. Each site also had a burn ring, a bundle of firewood, and a picnic table. You NEED to bring some kind of shade, like a canopy. The inside showers are great. The outside shower at the multi-use station didn't work, but hopefully they get it fixed because it would be an awesome place to shower at night. Or during the day, too, I suppose. Speaking of night, the stars are amazing out there. Anyway, this is a really cool place to stay, and I definitely recommend it.

1 night at The Bus Stop Campground

The campground was beautiful, the wash bins at the site was very convenient, and the bathrooms were very clean and nice. However there were nearby roosters and a party that added noise so bring ear plugs just in case! We loved watching the sunrise and sunset and in general the vibes were immaculate.

4 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

Super cool site! The showers and bathrooms were nice! Seemed safe and we didn’t have many neighbors so it was even better! The star gazing here is INSANE! I would recommend!!

1 night at Goat Pens, Cigar Springs Ranch

First off Jeff is one hell of a human and outside of that this property is insanely beautiful! There is so much to explore. If you decide that you need a bite to eat there are a few restaurants in town that are pretty good. Only about 10 min away. We got caught in a storm out there but didn’t let that bring us down. If you have the space for it account for an extra tent to be on the safe side. Our tent ended up getting destroyed in the crazy wind and rain but our friend ended having another tent for us to use.

7 nights at The Rhinestone Ranch

A nice spot! Very dark around the area! Very close to a small convenience store if you forget any essentials! Also close to a VFW if you need to grab some cheap drinks!

3 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

We stayed on site 7 its slightly up hill from the others and the last site on the property. We loved it! Beautiful views of the mountains very peaceful and gorgeous sunrises! Having WiFi was amazing and the restrooms and outdoor showers were a major plus and clean. Thank you David for providing us with such an accommodating camping experience!

5 nights at The Bus Stop Campground

Great little campground! Clean bathrooms plus decent WiFi, potable water, and 30 Amp power at each site. What more could you ask for? The campground is a bit out of Terlingua and therefore a bit further from BBNP but that just made it all that much quieter at night! The only issue I had was the power went out due to a storm and from what I could tell, that meant the water was not running, even for the bathrooms. This was not a huge issue for me since I was in a camper but I'm sure it might have been an inconvenience for others. Also, the WiFi went down with the power which meant I couldn't get weather updates since there is no Cell coverage at the campground.

Weekend Trip to Cieloscuro

The Island site was fantastic for us. Camp host is incredibly kind and helpful. Our only concern pre-trip was lack of potable water, but this did not end up being an issue for us. Plenty of opportunities for water nearby and in Big Bend. Best part was location in ravine provided extra shade near sunrise and sunset. Shade from hill started about 6:30 for us, with beautiful views towards Big Bend. We also had 1 day of wind, but was not dusty at camp. All in all this site worked out perfectly for us.

Weekend Trip to The Bus Stop Campground

I loved camping on David’s land. The stars were so bright and beautiful. The space for each campsite was wonderful. The only thing to be aware of is the drive to the campsite is rocky as it’s unpaved and may have wind

IF YOU WILL BE STAYING 3 NIGHTS OR LONGER, ASK ME FOR A DISCOUNT CODE!! 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! We may eventually add a few more sites and expand our amenities, but our intention is always to provide remote, low-density accommodation for folks who are respectful of the land.
