We were grateful for the electric hookup in Elena's place after a few days in Big Bend! We did not get to meet Elena but her mom was very nice and helped us get situated. Simple setup and walking distance to restaurant. What else can you want!

Elena’s place was very easy to find. We camped one night there for New Year’s Eve and you could easily walk to The High Sierra or Boathouse.

Elena's campsite was easy to find and in a great location for exploring the ghost town. It felt safe and was everything you need for a basic overnight stop.

Great location! You are in the heart of Terlingua, close to some great restaurants and the road. Elena was super helpful and friendly. At first I was a little nervous about finding all the camping slots full in Big Bend National Park, but looking back Terlingua was definitely the right place for my 3 day trip as I got to return to town, get gas, groceries, and explore restaurants and the state park. I look forward to returning here next season!

This place is awesome - far enough back from the road to be away from traffic, but close enough to Terlingua to walk into town. Elena is a great host and is super accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here. The stars are unbeatable :)

Good campground layout, but you’re also sharing with RVs. Campground was clean and free of rocks which was great! There weren’t any while we were there so it wasn’t a big deal. I’d recommend using Apple Maps to get there because Google took us to the other side of the road.

A simple campsite, just what we needed in terms of a place to set up our tent somewhere in walking distance of Terlingua ghost town attractions.

This cozy camping area is located inside Jommama's RV park, just minutes away from Terlingua. Sites are well-maintained and situated in the middle of the park. There are two group areas to use, and a bathroom on site. Elena was a super friendly host and made sure we had everything we need to have a comfortable stay. Dark sky area so star gazing was just incredible!

Camping Under The Stars!
This location doesn't work for tent camping. There are no locations to get water, no usable bathrooms, ground is too rocky to use regular tent stakes. Also, look out for the abundant dog poop!

This is a great home base for exploring Terlingua. We had a nice spot, walking distance to the Starlight.
