Eagle Pass has been recognized by NASA as being a premiere location for viewing the 2024 eclipse. We are centered in the Path of Totality, and we are the southernmost viewing point in the United States, giving us 4 minutes 24 seconds of total darkness. The Turtle Ranch is situated at one of the highest elevations in Maverick County. We have 360 degree sky views, and a variety of heights throughout the property so one can watch the moon shadow pass over the land. Originally this was a sheep ranch spanning 1000s of acres. Up until the 80s, migrant workers came to work the sheep, deliver the lambs, and sheer the mamas. In the 50s, the original owner built a small cabin near the main homestead for his oldest son and his new bride, hoping they would stay on to run the ranch, but as youth often do, they left in search of a different type of life. We were fortunate to have opportunity to purchase the cabin and expand into a 3 bedroom home using materials from the original 100+ years ranch house that we carefully dismantled. Only this year did we move in a herd of barbados sheep, in an attempt to restore some of the original feel of the ranch. We delivered our first lamb, Lyle, on February 10, 2021. The mighty tortoises that inspired the name of the ranch are Juke and Rocky, 30 year old brothers who weigh close to 200 lbs each and will likely outlive us. There are a number of other turtles, wild and domestic, on the property. Guests may feed the big torts and other animals for amazing photo opportunities.

Rocky's Outlook

Hosts were very generous and welcoming with their property. There was also plenty of space for privacy as well. Their animals were well cared for and very friendly.

Extra-friendly owners!

We camped for the eclipse and the owners really went above and beyond preparing bathrooms, showers, trash removal and even food for guests! They obviously put in a great deal of work and my family really enjoyed our stay.

It was a really well-organized event for the solar eclipse, enough land to accommodate the caravans in groups of maybe 10 scattered around, really good entertainment and a nice breakfast at the end. You just have to make sure you have a vehicle, even if it's just a bike, a 20-minute walk through the sun is a bit of a deterrent. However, there are places in the center and places further away.

Very good hospitality! Theresa and Orlando are top notch people doing whatever they can to make you feel comfortable and welcome. The property is a bit of a rescue ranch with many different types of animals. I definitely recommend this camp!
