1 night at Desert Gardens Oasis in Lobo, Texas

The host was excellent at responding to a few questions. The humor in the artwork and activities brought me lots of joy. The messages in the yoga area were calming. The multitude of stars in the night sky... delicious

This is a special place. The amount of work and care put into this property is mind-boggling. Also, I was able to ask the host questions and he answered immediately, even answered my phone call at night when I was having trouble finding the spot. GREAT deal. Remember though, you’re in the west Texas desert! Respect the land, if you want it to respect you.

Take plenty of water. Road gets very slippery when wet. Deep cracks on the road. Loved the hiking and the starry nights. Quiet lovely nature.

1 night at Butler-Nash Ranch

What a beautiful night! The stars were bright and everywhere, the land was lovely, and we slept like babies in the silence. One of the most beautiful places we've boondocked! The host was friendly and got us to the right place quickly, it's not far from I-10, and we'd be delighted to stay again next time we're passing through.

Weekend Trip to Desert Gardens Oasis in Lobo, Texas

Great stargazing, and a wild desert feeling while still having basic amenities. Helpful hints (especially if you arrive after dark): when it says turn at the sign, follow the "RV Sites" signs and not the arrows, or you'll end up on private land. after the turn off of the last public road, it's a few miles, and the two gates (left for camping and right for RVs) are right in front of the campground, not earlier on the dirt road [I was confused about whether there might be a separate drive for the tent and RV Sites, but they're close together and you want to follow the desert gardens signs for a good bit until you see both gates]. The bath area is nice, but the shower is visible from some of the sites, if privacy is a concern consider a swimsuit. The pallet bench and table were nice additions for cooking and setting up. Desert sunrise and the 360 view was unbeatable
