Welcome to our secluded desert mountain escape! With only one campsite, nestled in a quiet valley, you'll be able to unwind and relax. You will be hosted by recognized Super Hosts. There is a wonderful view of mountains and valleys with diverse and ever-changing geography, wildlife such as deer, javelina, fox, birds, and the occasional bear or wild cat. To top it off, the 360 degree view of the unobstructed sky lends itself perfectly to stargazing at night! The camp site provides a level camp pad, privy (currently under construction - with portable camp toilet and hooks for solar shower bags), a picnic table, wood/charcoal BBQ grill, non-potable and trash disposal on site. There is also a campfire ring so you can toast marshmallows or just cozy up! It is a scenic 45 minutes drive to Big Bend National Park - be sure and visit the Dinosaur exhibit, Santa Elena Canyon, the Boquillas Overlook, the Hot Springs, Chisos Basin! Also, the Rio Grande River has water rafting available, so there is definitely something for everyone! There are plenty of opportunities to get out and explore - you can hike many trails on our property or within 1 mile of the campsite.

Wildcat Mountain offers a remote camping experience with stunning 360-degree views and a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the excellent communication from hosts Mark and Michelle, as well as the thoughtful amenities like a fire pit and clean restroom facilities. While the site is a bit of a drive from Big Bend National Park, campers enjoy the solitude and the opportunity for stargazing. However, some mention the distance from hiking spots and the need for clear directions to avoid getting lost.

9 Points Camp

Great location, easy to get too. Great for three vehicles as we each had our own dedicated set up. Host were great with communication and ensuring our needs were met. Would consider using again next time we’re out that way. The host also gave us great information on locals spots to clean up and eat. Worth the stay!

My fifth trip to Wildcat Mountain. Great place as always. Clean and well maintained. This site is fairly remote but that's what I like about it. Some things I did this time in the local area: - Visited BBRSP and walked a couple of the smaller trails along the Rio Grande. Closed Canyon is a super-cool sight to see. Note that the interior of the State Park was closed for hunting. Be sure to check in at one of the visitor centers before venturing out that way. Closest one to this camp is Warnock off of FM 170 as you come into Lajitas. - Did some souvenir shopping at stores around Terlingua/Study Butte. I always find good stuff. - Visited the Children's Advocacy Center Thrift Store in Alpine (on TX 118 as you head out of town going south). Found some good deals and it helps out a worthy cause. :)

9 Points Camp

Excellent tent camping spot. There was no one around. The restroom was very clean. It had both a fire pit and a BBQ grill. It also had a trash can. The owners provided detailed driving instructions which was fortunate as we got their at night. If you plan to go to the Big Bend NP plan on about a 45 minute drive from the camp site to the Park HQ. Would definitely stay again. Enjoy!

Another great experience at Wildcat Mountain. Great to get away to the quiet. Some things of note on this trip: - I explored the dirt road to I-385 through the north part of BBNP. On the road between TX-118 and Terlingua Ranch Lodge, this road splits off right at the point where the pavement ends (there's a "Marathon" sign posted there). Road was dirt. Signage was clear - little chance of getting lost. High clearance/4x4 is recommended. Was cool to get to see another part of BBNP. - Visited the Jackass Flats general store. Small, but nice. Good place to get necessities, if you don't want to run all the way to "town". - I also did the "usual" stuff. Hiking to the west of the campsite, Terlingua Ranch Lodge (cafe and showers), BBNP (the Rio Grande was dry!), shopping in Study Butte/Terlingua Ghost Town, assorted driving about, star-gazing at night, afternoon dozing in my chair in the shade of the outhouse. If you like the desert, and don't mind driving, this site is a great location away from the crowds at the park. :)

9 Points Camp

The property was clean, quiet and within a good distance to Big Bend National Park. Great views. Off the main roads enough so I never heard or saw any traffic. But not so far where it took forever to get back to them. Simple amenities were a nice touch. Plenty of room for my 30ft travel trailer and truck. Host had excellent communication.
