Learn more about this land: *Remote. No water connections, no electricity and 4x4 or AWD required.   All proceeds are considered by us to be donations, which go to preserving the natural beauty of West Texas (such as the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute, Balmorhea State Park, and the Davis Mountains Preserve).  Come escape the fast-paced city life and let time time stand still as you take in the spectacular views of the West Texas mountains. Bring your own tent, set up camp and enjoy the solitude and beauty of the western storms and whiskey gold sunsets. The stars at night are big and bright... Red Feather is nearly 8 acres of undisturbed land located deep in the Davis Mountains in far west Texas. Situated in southwestern Jeff Davis County and 5 miles from the highway on primitive roads, it is accessible only by four-wheel drive vehicles. We have a nice view of the McDonald Observatory (only 7.5 miles as the crow flies) and we are 35 minutes from Alpine and Marfa.  *Please know this is a primitive campsite, there are no restrooms or trash receptacles.  You must be prepared to take out what you bring in.  Unfortunately, past guests have left it unkempt which makes us have to vet out who we will host.  Red Feather is not a spot for everyone, only experienced campers who have a true appreciation and respect for nature.  And if you do find the area untidy, please let us know.  Lastly, this is not a place for large group gatherings or a place to party.   ~Leave No Trace~*Remote.

Red Feather offers a picturesque camping experience with stunning views of the Davis Mountains, making it a favorite among campers. The site is perfect for those seeking solitude and the chance to stargaze from the comfort of provided amenities like a hammock and deck. However, reaching the campsite requires a 4WD vehicle due to the challenging driveway, which some visitors found difficult. Despite this, the peaceful environment and breathtaking scenery make Red Feather a memorable destination for nature lovers.
