## Overview

El Cosmico takes its inspiration from a long American history of hippies, nomads, bohemians and those living a life of self-determination. We believe in tuning in, dropping out and being here now.

Vehicles are not allowed onto the grounds, so if you are staying in your car or RV you will post up in our large parking lot with easy access to the grounds. Tent camping is dispersed, so you pick your space within the designated camping areas that are indicated on the property map provided at the front desk.

Front desk hours are from 7:30am-11:00pm daily. If you are arriving after 11pm please call ahead for late check-in instructions.

> Nice, spacious and open minded. We’ve only found out out they’re closing next month when we got there. I hope the new Cosmico will be equally good.

> Love El Cósmico and wanted to camp one last time at the original location. I was sad to see how poorly maintained it is now. I got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, and sliced my leg open on a rusty path light that was burned out. Next day was told they don’t keep a first aid kit anywhere on property, which is insanely irresponsible. The trash from Friday night’s party was still untouched on the picnic tables by the time I checked out on Sunday. I think I’ve just outgrown this experience between the place being dirty and not having basic supplies.

> I enjoyed camping in my tent at El Cosmico; it has to be the cheapest way to stay in Marfa and felt safe. Some train, road and nearby trailer park noise throughout the night, some loud birds in the morning but I still slept fine. Not much, if any, shade for campsites but it's West Texas after all. For a campground, good showers/bathrooms. However, for a hotel/airbnb pretty "rustic" showers/bathrooms with limited privacy.
