This is a primitive campground and home of the iconic Big Bend Tardis inspired landmark Box 118 as featured in Texas Highways. Perfect for self-contained Overlander, van-life, or pop-up style campers, with dumpster access. Stop here after your long drive before your adventures as we are located in a most convenient place with easy access to Big Bend and Terlingua. Located right on Hwy 118 on Terlingua Ranch, the property offers awesome views, bright stars, and quiet evenings with outstanding sunsets and moonrises.

A convenience store and a spot to grab food and a beer are located very close to the site. A dumpster is available onsite.
What makes this a great spot is the location—Big Bend is an enormous area, and travel times can be significant, but from our site you won’t have to drive far to settle in for the night and get going the next day on your Big Bend exploration. The park entrance is about 25 minutes away.
The sites are simple desert terrain with natural desert scrub—no paved pads. Native burros frequently browse the property, so expect to see wild donkeys. All sites are located behind an access gate and are individually marked.

Loved the camping. Located the spot thanks to host. Was friendly. Very peaceful and gorgeous views of the night sky. About an hour away from dog friendly hiking spots in big bend.

We had a lovely experience, nice tent pads and a clean bathroom! The parking spaces are very well numbered, but it would be nice if the tent pads were also numbered as a few of us out there had trouble determining which site was ours. Will certainly come back for future visits to big bend!

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.
