Nice little desert campground.

A+ Big Bend TERLINGUA Dark Skies

Nice little campground. We didn't have a picnic table at the spot we chose, but I guess it was the one we chose that didn't have a picnic table... It had the most cover from the strong winds, which pulled up a tent stake or two till we anchored with rocks. It was good sleeping, though, with all that white noise blowing most of the night. We made a nice fire, too. The bath house had a few toilets, but it was too cold in the morning to take a shower so we moved on to our next destination. Thank you, Katheran.

Had a great stay here. The land is set into hilltop and as pretty at sunset as the park. The shower was operational for our stay and the grounds quiet.

Loved camping at #5 Dark Skies!! Katheran was very quick with responding to questions. Beautiful views and quiet. Would encourage checking in before dusk as it could be tricky to find the site. Would recommend & come again!

Nice site, VERY poor hospitality

Tent · With kids ·

A+ Big Bend TERLINGUA Dark Skies

Great location close to the park and beautiful views from the property, but the hosts were extremely rude and the amenities promised were all broken. The hosts were upset about us bringing a small pop up trailer and young children, even after we messaged with them before booking to confirm it was ok. Our kids were then yelled at shorty after arriving for climbing on the rocks by our campsite. For our four day stay we had no showers, no toilets and the porta potty provided never had toilet paper, our sites trash can was also full when we arrived and was never emptied. The hosts even called the cops on another camper, who was rightfully upset and wanted a refund since we weren’t able to shower or use a restroom (which is the whole reason you book a place like this.) The sheriff ended up at our site and we had to talk to him about it. Look elsewhere if you’re coming to big bend.

Beautiful views. Neatly defined driving paths. Well laid out campsites. Less than 20 minute drive to Big Bend NP west entrance. Centrally located clean well maintained toilets and shower are a big positive. When I tent camp in the park I'm used to a 30 mile drive to Rio Grand Village to shower. Katheran is very hospitable. NO GENERATORS ALLOWED motivated me to stay here.

Amazing high desert camping

Tent ·

A+ Big Bend TERLINGUA Dark Skies

This camp is obviously a labor of love. The hosts could not be more gracious and welcoming and the property is stunning. There are gorgeous high desert and mountains views in every direction. It is easy to find and you can be in Terlingua or Big Bend in minutes. The campsites are fantastic and only surpassed by the friendly hosts.
