Basecamp Guadalupe
1. Basecamp Guadalupe
45mi from Sierra Blanca · 3 sites · Lodging
Basecamp Guadalupe at Rancho Pancho is a private 180-acre desert property defined by open space, native yucca, roaming wildlife, and a rare sense of quiet. This is classic West Texas desert, wide horizons, long sightlines, and a stillness that becomes part of the experience.
Located near the base of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, the property is designed as a true basecamp for outdoor exploration. Guests typically spend their days hiking nearby trails, exploring the land on foot, or visiting surrounding natural highlights, then return in the evening to rest, reset, and enjoy the desert at a slower pace.
The land itself invites simple, self-guided activities:
Walking the property and observing native desert plants
Watching light and shadow move across the landscape
Sitting outside at sunset and under the stars
At night, the absence of light pollution reveals exceptionally dark skies, making stargazing a central part of the stay. Evenings are quiet and expansive, defined by wind through yucca, distant wildlife movement, and long stretches of stillness.
Stays at Basecamp Guadalupe
Basecamp Guadalupe offers a small collection of thoughtfully placed accommodations, including a cabin and RV stays. Each accommodation is described individually, but they share a common philosophy:
Privacy and space over density
Comfort without excess
Independence rather than full service
Guests experience the desert without owning land, building infrastructure, or maintaining an RV or cabin. They simply arrive, settle in, and live lightly on the land.
While the setting is remote, each stay includes essential comforts appropriate to its location, allowing guests to experience the desert without sacrificing rest, warmth, or basic convenience.
What to Expect
This is a quiet, remote property, best suited for guests who value:
Silence over stimulation
Open space over crowds
Experience over excess
Self-guided days and restful nights
There are no crowds, no shared indoor facilities, and no scheduled activities. The experience is intentionally simple and independent, allowing guests to shape their time around nature, weather, and personal rhythm.
Basecamp Guadalupe is ideal for guests who want to hike, stargaze, write, think, disconnect, or simply exist in quiet.

Lobo Flats
2. Lobo Flats
46mi from Sierra Blanca · 1 site · Lodging
We close for the summer. We will re-open mid-August or when daytime temps are consistently below 95 degrees.
Flats is located conveniently off a paved road about half-way between Van Horn and Valentine.
20 minutes from Valentine and the Prada Store,
50 minutes from Marfa
60 minutes from Davis Mountains State Park
75 minutes from Guadalupe Mountains National Park Visitors Center
3 hours from Panther Junction Visitor Center in Big Bend
Although our property is only five acres, we have no close neighbors. You can see a few other homesteads from here, many of which are unoccupied. For the most part it is very quiet, with only a handful of vehicles passing by on any given day.
We have stars, rocks, views, solitude, and art.
Within view of the property are Matthew Grey’s large-scale sculptures Broken Mile and Mile Dark, with a third sculpture underway. We are also in the process of installing our own installations on the property.
We are an off-grid property running on well water and solar with a backup propane generator. Please keep in mind that our sites do not have unlimited water and electricity, and that you may hear a generator at times. We have a great setup here, and we enjoy the simplicity that comes with this lifestyle. With that said, this is a campsite, not a glampsite. Lobo Flats is Marfa’s dusty, crusty cousin and we like it that way.
The campground is a brand-new endeavor; we welcome feedback as we refine the off-grid experience that we share with campers.
We are an introvert friendly establishment, and while there will typically be someone around to help during your stay, you will have all the privacy you desire.
