Find extreme solitude and unforgettable views of Guadalupe Peak at this desert escape next to Guadalupe Mountains National Park!
This is choose-your-own-adventure camping. The terrain is rugged, and the dust and wind blow some nights. Once you're here, there are few amenities (unless you book our cabin, Li’l Capitan).
If this sounds fine — you don't mind roughing it — you'll be sleeping under the stars at the foot of West Texas' tallest mountain range. And who else can say they've done that?
BURN BAN IN EFFECT: Unfortunately, we are under a countywide burn ban.

Ein wirklich schöner und authentischer Campingplatz im Süden von Texas! Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die Gastgeber – unglaublich freundlich, herzlich und zuvorkommend. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und merkt, dass hier mit viel persönlichem Einsatz gearbeitet wird.
Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist wirklich hervorragend. Die Stell- und Campingflächen bieten ausreichend Platz und liegen in einer schönen, ruhigen und natürlichen Umgebung. Auch die sanitären Anlagen waren absolut in Ordnung und haben alles geboten, was man beim Camping braucht.
Natürlich sollte man wissen, wo man ist: Das hier ist kein Luxus- oder Glamping-Resort, sondern ein bodenständiger Campingplatz im Süden von Texas, nicht weit von der mexikanischen Grenze. Genau das macht für uns aber einen großen Teil des Charmes aus. Viel Natur, Ruhe, eine tolle Umgebung und eine angenehme, unkomplizierte Atmosphäre.
Wer einen ehrlichen, günstigen Campingplatz mit besonders herzlichen Gastgebern sucht, ist im Willow Creek Camping genau richtig. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

I loved camping on Mr. Jimmy's property! He was super-helpful from the get-go, even before I finalized the booking! He was very friendly and informed me about my travels to the property (there was a bit of off-roading).
The views were spectacular- of the surrounding mountains and desert, along with the incredible night views of the starscape!! It was such a refresh to have a few days without cars, people, lights... it was restorative to the soul.
Mr. Jimmy's space was perfect for our time out there- we were able to cook, make a fire, and his water reservoir happened to have rain water for hand and dish washing etc. The setup was a dream- he thought of everything for a pair of self-sufficient campers! It was such a warm experience. I definitely recommend!

2 nights at Good Guad Land Co.
My partner and I stayed at Li'l Capitan Cabin for two nights and loved the spot! I had originally booked it as just a place to sleep after a day of exploring the area but every time we got back to camp, instead of going to bed because we were tired, we ended up on the roof, watching the skies, and scoping out desert critters with headlamps. I've never been excited to see a rattlesnake up until now so thanks for that Wes.
I was hesitant to use the outhouse because snakes and other desert crittings but that thing is cleaner than my home bathroom. The walk to it at night might be a little far for some but headlamps are a thing so it shouldn't be an issue.
Finding the location was a little tricky on night one but Wes SPECIFICALLY told me to come before dark on day one. Guess who didn't listen to that? Me. It was me. Once you see it the first time it's impossible to miss after that but that first time you really should heed his warnings.
Will definitely be planning another stay when it's less dry so that I can have a fire on site and kind of just camp out here.

The booking process for the campsite was fast and easy. We needed a place to rest before continuing our trip to San Antonio, and James made everything simple with great communication. He provided all the information we needed before we arrived.
The location was peaceful, with a quiet neighborhood and excellent stargazing at night. The bathrooms were easy to find when needed, and they were very clean.
We also drove about 20 minutes to the town of Iraan to grab some pizza, which was a nice bonus. Overall, this was a great stop, and would recommend this site.

Where to go
Northwestern Texas
The southwestern half of the Texas panhandle is often grouped together with West Texas and is home to the city of Lubbock. Geographically, it's part of the Llano Estacado, which extends into eastern New Mexico, among the largest mesas on the continent. Natural areas in the region include Big Spring State Park, Caprock Canyons State Park, and Palo Duro Canyon State Park.
The Trans-Pecos Region
The westernmost part of the state lies west of the Pecos River and is by far the least-populated area of the state. In fact, most of the region’s commercial activity takes place in the far west of town, in El Paso. Travel east from El Paso and you'll soon find yourself in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert, home to the towering peaks of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
The El Paso Area
Although El Paso is more known for its historic sites and urban activities, the city and its surrounding areas have plenty for outdoor adventurers. Popular spots include Franklin Mountains State Park, a hit among hikers, and Hueco Tanks State Park & Historic Site, which offers a fine mix of hiking and rock climbing opportunities, plus around 20 campsites.
Big Bend and Around
Encompassing Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park and the surrounding areas, this part of West Texas is largely dominated by public lands. along with the Black Gap Wildlife Management Area and the Chinati Mountains State Natural Area. It gets its name from a large bend in the Rio Grande, which divides this region from neighboring Mexico.
