I was such a Nice place with the greatest view I’ve ever seen in campsites.
The toilet was cleaned and had a lot of toilet paper.
I would love to stay here again.

You can't hardly beat the price, so it's hard to be overly negative, but the biggest issue I had was finding it. The entire area is in a dead zone with no cell phone service, which was expected, so I was relying on the hosts written directions. I wasted about 45 minutes driving back and forth looking for the road I was supposed to turn onto off of the main highway and eventually knocked on a random person's door and asked for help. When I eventually found the "road" there was nothing whatsoever marking it as the road I was looking for, and it had two real estate signs near the entrance which made it even more confusing as it looked like a private drive. Once I finally arrived I spoke to other campers staying here and heard similar stories of having trouble finding it. Lastly, the entrance into the parking area is just steep enough that any non high clearance vehicle will bottom out and have trouble making it off the road. Parking on the road wasn't a big deal as the camping area is close by, but it would be very easy to decrease the height of the driveway approach and make it more drivable for all vehicles. Solar lights on the outhouse weren't working, but that wasn't an issue as I had a headlamp. Everything else was as expected and no issues.

Caja Caliente - Noe's Nest Shelter
There are a few points we'd want campers to be aware of before planning to stay: First, Noe's Nest is not its own site. Other campers are able to park right next to it and the reservation is only for the A-frame. Second, it's not a drive-up site. If no one is parked at the clearing marked "Caja Caliente", located just a few feet next to the A-frame, you can park and set up there. But if others are parked there, it would not be easily possible to get to the A-frame if you have a lot of gear. Last, the road to the site is very rough and not clearly marked. Downloaded directions and higher clearance vehicles / capable tires would be good to have.
Our experience: We arrived to find a car and three tents set up where we thought our site was, marked "Caja Caliente". No one was there. We waited for a couple of hours, hoping to be able to get what we booked but had to leave once it was getting dark. We were actually concerned for the other campers' safety and so once we had a signal, we notified the host that a) we believed someone had taken our site; and b) we were concerned they might be in trouble. We did not return and did not get a response until nearly midnight.
Site Condition: Beautiful landscape, completely isolated. A-frame is in good condition. There was a broken folding table that appeared to be left-behind garbage on site. In the portable toilet building, my husband found very bloody paper towels.
We did not keep our reservation - we left and would not book again.

We had a really lovely stay at Caja Caliente. This was a surprise find after searching many sites for a place to camp during spring break. How lucky we were to find this beautiful location with quiet views and gorgeous night skies. There is a port a potty on site, which was clean and maintained. The property was clean and there was no garbage to be seen. There were only four tents on the land while we were there and all were respectful of the tranquility of the location.

Caja Caliente - Primitive Camping
Clean and fun place to 🏕 camp! The A frame is a nice little getaway spot. You could bring a yoga mat and enjoy the spot. The stars are nice out there

Very amazing experience. Very majestic views of red bluff and nine point Mesa. Not Very far from Terlingua ghost town and Very close to Big Bend. The night sky is so amazing with absolutely no light pollution. I would definitely recommend this back country spot for camping and I will be going back soon!!!

The entire site was well-isolated, clean, clearly-marked, and easily accessible with fantastic views of the surrounding mesa. What's more, the grounds sit in true dark sky country where the seeing is excellent and even the faintest constellations can be seen unaided. The shelter itself was sturdy, clean, and comfortable with an appealing rustic charm and the on site portable toilet was a welcome sight.

Caja Caliente - Primitive Camping
Desert Camping with privacy and basic amenities. Caja Caliente camp is situated on a private lot of land, down some dirt/sand roads, so make sure you have 4x4 if coming soon after rain. The camp has a very large parking lot, a bathroom on-site and a permanent shelter. Zachary was super responsive and was happy to answer all of our questions.
