Weekend Trip to Casa de Keaveny Cabin and Campsite

The best experience I ever had! Jim is very welcoming and friendly. The cabin he built is stuffed with love and intention. Everything is so thoughtful and well made. If you go there, you have to watch the night sky! It is beyond comprehension. Suited for 2, perfect for 4, maybe a little narrow for 6. Bring enough water and supplies. Thoughtful use of resources like water and electricity is mandatory.

Weekend Trip to Terlingua GhostTown RV Park

Second time staying here. All you could need to take full advantage of Terlingua ghost town. Easy sites with all the amenities. Definitely staying here next time too!

3 nights at Cieloscuro

Karen's property is well thought out. We loved our site location. Beautiful view. Undescribable actually. Never thought in a million years camping in the desert could be so enjoyable.

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 Rancho de los Arboles Muertos

Idyllic location, best of the whole trip. Sled is a nice touch.

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!

3 nights at Rancho de los Arboles Muertos

Really enjoyed the experience at Knotty Soul. Just sad that we could spend only one night. Brian called to let us know that impending storms could potentially cause problems accessing the site, so we chose (and Brian encouraged us) to find alternative accommodations. That proved wise as winds, rain and lightning were wicked. Hosts promptly refunded remaining nights even though not really their problem. Will cherish the laughing of coyotes at night, lots of stars and spending time with family around the outdoor fire pit. You're not exactly in the wilderness, but you feel like you're in your own world.

6 nights at Camp Leapin’ Lizard

Bryn's property has stunning views of the Chisos mountains. This campsite is perfect for campers new to the desert or solo travelers who want a feeling of security, as Bryn is close by. The hot shower is a definite plus! We enjoyed visiting with Bryn and listening to her deeply moving songs and guitar playing.

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 Rancho de los Arboles Muertos

What a glorious campground. Great location - totally private and what a bonus having a heated outdoor shower!!

Weekend Trip to Crows Peak Tents

INCREDIBLE!!! I can't say enough great things about this site or these hosts! A truly wonderful experience. The tents are super cool and very secure - it felt like being on Safari. Such a pleasure to be able to lay in bed and watch the sunset and sunrise. The views are incredible and the pictures don't do them justice. The hosts are super accommodating and friendly too - 10/10 recommend!!

3 nights at Rancho de los Arboles Muertos

Our stay at Ipo was magical. Everything was clean and updated. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed to cook our food, stay cozy, and keep our electronics charged. It was so close to Big Bend and the Terlingua Ghost Town.

3 nights at Terlingua GhostTown RV Park

Level spots, friendly people, nice and quiet at night. Wifi is not password protected which made working for a challenge (FYI if you work remote). Dan was very nice and we could walk to grab a bite or a drink. We were also close enough to get a few hikes in at both parks.

3 nights at Crows Peak Tents

Very cozy and a great spot for stargazing! Would highly recommend.

1 night at Rancho de los Arboles Muertos

Lovely sites and amenities!! Highly recommend if you are visiting Big Bend NP or the area.

7 nights at Cieloscuro

The views from Site 5 are amazing and the night sky will leave you breathless. I have never seen so many stars before!

5 nights at Cieloscuro

Great host and fantastic camping space. As long as you’re cool with a roaming pup on the property, I highly recommend.

4 nights at Terlingua GhostTown RV Park

If you’re trying to disconnect from the city, this is THE SPOT. Unrivaled location: walking distance to Venga (coffee, breakfast, lunch, pretty hip, a teenie taste of city ); High Sierra Restaurant (restaurant & bar vib); 1-minute drive to Terilingua Ghost Town (a literal ghost town but with more food, dessert, souvenirs, but that’s what we loved about it); dead center between Big Bend Natty Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park (about 15 minutes either way). Dan and Harlan will take great care of you! Patient and hard-working. RV pads are still being worked on but full hook-ups are there. We’ll definitely be coming back for round 2.

3 nights at Rancho de los Arboles Muertos

We loved tent camping at Chiclet and Radar spots. The views and sunsets were spectacular. Was not able to have campfire due to burn ban. Luckily I brought my propane burner and disco to cook all of our meals. The outhouse and shower were a great blessing after our hikes in BBNP.

Casa de Keaveny Cabin and Campsite

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents30 acres · Alpine, TX

Beautiful land in the Chihuahua desert north of the Christmas mountains and south of the famous 9 point Mesa. Just north of Mexico and 30 min from Big Bend National park and The Terlingua ghostown . West Texas. Off grid small house running on solar power and rain water catchment. Very cozy. Plenty of land for camping also, discuss with Jim for pricing, if interested. Mr. Keaveny built the house himself over a 10 year period. Very private, although Mr. Keaveny lives on the property in his Jayco most of the time, and sometimes a camping site is rented ----however always giving the house lots of space. Great place for long term rental, see discounts.

Crows Peak Tents

3 sites · Lodging50 acres · Alpine, TX

Welcome to the heart of Far West Texas, where adventure meets comfort in our unique tent rentals in Terlingua! Nestled in the rugged splendor of the Chihuahuan Desert, Crows Peak combines the beauty of the great outdoors with the luxury of a comfortable retreat. Each tent is equipped with a queen-size memory foam mattress, LED lights and a solar powered battery that can charge cell phones and other small devices. A propane camp stove is also provided (with one 16 oz can of propane), as well as several small storage compartments. The tents are 11' tall and 8' wide, with a private deck, providing ample space to stretch out and relax. Thoughtfully positioned to provide panoramic views of the vast desert landscape, you will be able to immerse yourself in the tranquility of the desert while enjoying an elevated camping experience. You can step onto the deck and savor a cup of coffee as the sun rises and paints the sky in oranges and pink. Or, unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine while you gaze at the stars under one of the darkest skies in the country. Located 35 minutes from the entrance to Big Bend National Park and the Terlingua ghost town, this is a great base to explore everything the area has to offer. The Terlingua Ranch Lodge is an easy 15 minute drive and features the Bad Rabbit restaurant, a pool and a bath house with hot showers. Showers are $2/each and a day pass for the pool is $8. Ice and other small provisions are available at the Ranch office. Access to the property requires driving 1 mile on a dirt road, but does not require 4-wheel drive or high clearance vehicles.

Rancho de los Arboles Muertos

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents160 acres · TX

With 160 acres located just off Highway 118, two miles north of Study Butte, 7 miles from Terlingua Ghost Town, 7 miles from Big Bend National Park and 16 miles from Big Bend Ranch State Park, Arboles Muertos is a perfect place for tent campers, small trailers and Class-B RV's and digital nomads to set up a home base for all the many activities in the area. Your privacy is our #1 priority, so our sites are spread out over the property and most are not in view of other sites, providing you with a backcountry camping experience, yet only a few minutes off the highway. For large groups, or those that are into a more social camping experience, we also have a cluster of three sites spaced about 150 feet apart. We have several spotlessly clean composting pit toilets on the property, all just a short walk from your site. All guests have access to our centrally located outdoor shower. Rancho de los Arboles Muertos gets its name from the 25 foot tall Eastern Red Cedar trees that are being salvaged from land clearing operations near Austin and "planted" around the property. We're located directly across the highway from Willow Mountain, with 800 foot sheer faces and rising over 1000 feet above the highway, making it one of the most prominent features in the area next to the Chisos of Big Bend. The property is covered in Ocotillo, hidden arroyos, tall bentonite dunes, volcanic ridges, dry creeks and the occasional fossil. Trail runners can easily create 5 mile loop over ridges and in arroyos without leaving the property. For the burners out there, the place will have an unmistakable deep playa vibe once all trees have made it home )'( Socialized dogs are allowed on leash, but we do have a high coyote population in the area, as well as other dangers to pets. Large groups are welcome and we also rent the entire 160 acre property for private events. Please contact us for more info. We are a completely off-grid property, so remember to bring water! In the event of heavy rain, the roads could become impassible for a few hours to a couple days. If we see a major storm in the forecast, we will contact you directly to discuss options. The rainy season is late summer, however, and we are not taking bookings during that time, so this should not be an issue. Check out our Instagram page for more about us @arboles_muertos

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.
