We were grateful for the electric hookup in Elena's place after a few days in Big Bend! We did not get to meet Elena but her mom was very nice and helped us get situated. Simple setup and walking distance to restaurant. What else can you want!

Weekend Trip to Star Haven

Getting out to this open area of West Texas was amazing. This spot is a perfect place to disconnect for a few days. If you love geology, this spot has some of the coolest rocks to check out. My two dogs loved being here and didn't run into any other animals or people during our stay. We took the drive slow with my RV but did not have any problems following John's directions.

Elena’s place was very easy to find. We camped one night there for New Year’s Eve and you could easily walk to The High Sierra or Boathouse.

Great location! You are in the heart of Terlingua, close to some great restaurants and the road. Elena was super helpful and friendly. At first I was a little nervous about finding all the camping slots full in Big Bend National Park, but looking back Terlingua was definitely the right place for my 3 day trip as I got to return to town, get gas, groceries, and explore restaurants and the state park. I look forward to returning here next season!
