Stories from the community

2 nights at El Cosmico

Nice, spacious and open minded. We’ve only found out out they’re closing next month when we got there. I hope the new Cosmico will be equally good.

2 nights at “Roble Perdido” private RV site

It was a private area with picnic table and solar lights/ plug in lights and an easy walk/drive to town. I felt very safe and despite a local dog barking many hours into the evening, it was very relaxing! I would recommend it and return!

1 night at El Cosmico

Very welcoming environment and eclectic atmosphere! The open top showers are a must for any visitors!!! Will return!

1 night at El Cosmico

We loved staying at El Cosmico. We adored the funky vibe. The outdoor bathrooms and showers were fun. I wish we would have had time to use the hot tub.

2 nights at El Cosmico

This was our second great stay at El Cosmico. We love coming here and exploring Marfa. Even though we just sleep in the parking lot in our van, we use the common spaces and the showers - which are lovely outdoor showers.

2 nights at El Cosmico

Very nice! It was the perfect location. We brought our bikes and bikes into town.

1 night at El Cosmico

We did self camping. Good amount of flat land available for tents. Indoor and outdoor bathrooms were nice. Only problem was the outdoor toilets and showers have gaping holes which left me feeling exposed to any passerby. Would still stay here again. Was a bit close to a busy road, but i slept fine.

Weekend Trip to Rancho Estrella Marfa

Great place to stay very accommodating! I was able to make last minute adjustments to my reservations. Robert runs an awesome place to stay!!!

1 night at El Cosmico

Just a gorgeous property! Quiet, conferrable, and incredibly helpful staff!

1 night at El Cosmico

Great place to stay. Nice people and great facilities. Has a lot of charm and character. Great value too especially for tent camping.

1 night at El Cosmico

Stayed at El Cosmico campsite and absolutely loved it, staff was nice, showers and bathrooms were so clean. 100% would reccomend for car or tent camping

1 night at El Cosmico

Great place and wonderful inclusive people. A cute little oasis in the desert.

3 nights at El Cosmico

We stayed here three nights, went down to Terlingua/Big Bend for three nights then didn’t hesitate to stay at El Cosmico again on our way back. We slept in our van in the lot one night and tent camped the other nights. The lounge with wifi was wonderful for getting some work done or just enjoying the complimentary coffee in the morning. The outdoor kitchen came in handy to do some dishes and make tea in the evening. Both the indoor and outdoor bathrooms were clean and much appreciated. Yes, there’s some road noise, but it didn’t hurt our enjoyment of El Cosmico.

1 night at El Cosmico

El Cosmico is a great option for anyone wanting to stay in Marfa. Self-camping is easy with access to good restrooms and a lovely space to hang out in. They also have great coffee served in the morning! Our only complaint was the noise. It’s near a busy road, very close to a train, lots of barking from dogs, and the people around us were a bit loud. These noises could be minimized if you camp in a spot away from the path and further from the bathrooms though!

1 night at El Cosmico

This was a fun stop over on our way to Big Bend NP. Easy to find and close to town. Friendly staff.

1 night at El Cosmico

The solar shower worked great, the site is well landscaped and attractive and we enjoyed the friendly staff and cute store.

Weekend Trip to El Cosmico

Great location and overall a pretty cool spot. Has free coffee in the morning too. If you're bringing an RV/camper just know RV spots are in the parking lot excluded from the general camping area.

2 nights at El Cosmico

Tent camping at el cosmico with 2 kids was easy and fun. We were there in early March and it was very quiet only a few other tents. The location is great for checking out Marfa and surrounding region including Fort Davis. Outdoor shower was perfect and common spaces were fun to hang out in. You are right off a main road so there is some road noise but overnight was pretty quiet.

1 night at El Cosmico

Know before you go- RV camping is in the parking lot with no hookups. So if you're bringing an RV you won't be in the actual campground. Otherwise it's a pretty cool spot and I enjoyed my stay. Great location and free coffee in the morning. I recommend

1 night at El Cosmico

Beautiful property with a lot of amenities, all the staff were very nice! Loved it.

South Lobo, Texas

4 sites · RVs6 acres · Van Horn, TX

Learn more about this land:This land is located on about 6 acres of Chihuahuan desert land, about 1 mile directly south of the old ghost town of Lobo (which is why this place is called South Lobo), which is about 17 miles south of I-10 at Van Horn, Texas. The Rio Grande valley is about 15 miles to the west of this site, and about 2 miles east is Chispa Mountain (about 1200 feet higher than the surrounding country).Some day I hope to operate a small interfaith chapel and emergency water station (this land is located about 15 miles as the crow flies from Mexico) but for now it is just a beautiful bit of country for camping. You can learn more about our mission by searching for "South Lobo, Texas."My pricing is per vehicle (since this is the most environmentally impactful thing that happens on this place), which means that primitive campers who are not parking on the property can camp for free (one extra camping space is reserved for primitive campers).There is no power or water on site and minimal shade. You are welcome to hike, mountain bike, explore, etc but ATV's are not allowed (except on the dirt road).This is also a great location for railfans (Amtrak goes through here six times per week while going between San Antonio and Los Angeles, but there is also some freight traffic) but also for stargazers and ham radio operators (very low electrical noise levels).Safety wise: The Border Patrol is frequently in this area, so please do not be surprised if they come by and say hello while you are camping. If they ask about your presence, tell them you are camping with the permission of the landowner. Other than the border patrol, you are unlikely to encounter any other people. The biggest danger out here is dehydration. Be sure and bring more water than you think you'll need as it is a long drive back to Van Horn. (and if you have any extra left, please consider leaving it behind for emergency use from refugees who may be passing through)Lots of things to see and do in the area --- Van Horn is a nice town (with some decent food, stores, etc.). The famous Prada Marfa isn't far away and of course there is the ghost town in Lobo (where they occasionally have film festivals and other events). Lots of folks pass through this area heading to Big Bend and other points further out.Please do your best to clean up your camp site when you leave so that this unique landscape will be preserved for future visitors to see and experience.
