Introducing a unique opportunity for remote Overlanding and camping enthusiasts seeking an unparalleled connection with nature, while maintaining convenient access to the vibrant town of Terlingua. Nestled between the sprawling state and national parks, this exceptional 10-acre desert property offers a secluded haven surrounded by picturesque mountains, captivating canyons, and an abundance of diverse plant and wildlife. For those with a passion for exploration, the property's close proximity to the east side of Solatario caldera "mountain range" presents an enticing invitation to discover and immerse oneself in the natural wonders of the region. Accessible via a roughly 1+ hour scenic 4x4 drive, the journey to Terlingua Ghost Town or the eastern route to 118 unfolds a breathtaking tapestry of awe-inspiring vistas and cliffs, enriching the travel experience with unforgettable moments at every turn. Whether you seek tranquil seclusion or thrilling adventure, this remote desert property perfectly balances the allure of off-the-grid camping with the convenience of being within reach of Terlingua's fascinating energy. Embrace the freedom to create your own overlanding escapades, bask in the beauty of the untamed wilderness, and savor the serenity of an exclusive desert retreat, all while maintaining a direct link to the captivating attractions of Terlingua and both Big Bend Parks. As a reminder, this is a remote site that is over an hour to the nearest town or highway via 4x4 high clearance roads. It is another hour to the nearest hospital or veterinary clinic. There is no cell service on the property. There is spotty cell service on near-by roads so dont rely on calling for help in an emergency. Back up communication or cell boosting is recommended. It is common to not see anyone out here for days. To promote a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, please come prepared and abide by the following rules and precautions: 1) Bring enough water - you will get dehydrated easily in the desert. 1 gallon per person/day is a good general rule for drinking, preparing food, etc. 2) Bring a secondary full can of gas (2.5 gallons or more) and have a full-size spare tire. 3) Bring a first aid kit that includes trauma bandages and tourniquet. 4) Follow a Leave No Trace principle. Please leave the campsite and surrounding area the same or even better than you found it. 5) Store food after preparation in animal proof container or vehicle. Do not keep in tent. Among other animals that are attracted to food, there is a population of black bears in the nearby Solitario. 6) Please remove all trash and waste upon departure. 7) Dogs are allowed on site (we love ours!) However, please be mindful of cleaning up after them. Be very cautious of the desert environment and wildlife. Besides the abundant thorns and stickers that pose harm, animals such as the Javelina consider a dog the same as a Coyote (enemy), and have been known to attack in packs when encountered. This could injure you and your dog. 8) Fires are welcome in the fire-ring but please bring your own firewood, keep the fire contained, and refrain from making fires in high wind conditions. We also require everyone to bring an extra gallon of water to completely douse fire and coals before leaving camp. Follow Brewster County fire bans during periods of high wind and fire concerns. 9) The property and immediate area has a rocky and uneven terrain that includes very large ravines and canyons, some with 50 foot sheer drops. The rocks and dirt around these areas can be very loose and unstable. Hiking around the property is at your own risk. Take precaution to avoid injury. 10) Remember that the surrounding areas are all private property so keep to the roads once outside of Laughing Coyote Canyon site. 11) Enjoy your time here. Being in a remote landscape promotes being one with nature. It can be humbling and exilirating at the same time. A grounding experience akin to how our ancestors felt with a need for self-reliance.

The site was really clean and peaceful, beautiful sunrise and sunset in the middle of the mountain! We booked 1 night at the beginning and ended up booking 2 more because we loved it. Sky was full of stars too, pitch black and complete silence!

I loved tent camping on Sarah's land! The views were beautiful and directions were clear. I would suggest marking every camp site better, it is a bit confusing and some people took our spot by accident The outhouse is well maintained and comfortable to use.

Good leveled lot with plenty of bench seating around. The stars were amazing at night! It is about 2 miles of dirt to get here but it’s doable even without a 4x4. Our 25ft RV made it there with few hiccups. Complete dry camping so make sure you pack in and pack out. No restrooms or trash bins so make sure you come prepared!

We had a wonderful quiet stay at David’s campsite. The site is very large, plenty of room for our 27’ trailer and truck. It seems like an ideal set up for larger groups. Everything was in great condition and the site was very well taken care of. We will definitely stay again next time we are in the area.

Amazing property and camp spot. The road to get there is fun to drive. My family and I had a blast. Be sure to carry everything you need, because it’s an hour and a half from town and no signal.
