This was a nice experience. Set up for these sites was easy. Close to Big Bend. The store was a great spot!

Jackass Flats is Awesome!

My friends and I loved Jackass Flats. Pam was very friendly and responsive, and Little Burro Country Store is the perfect base camp between Lajitas/BBRSP, BBNP, and Marfa/DMSP. We had a great time exploring, but an even better time sitting around the campfire at Jackass Flats. Views are awesome during the day and the night. On our first night there was a slight water pressure issue, Pam had it fixed within an hour and swung by our campsite to ensure everything was working right. Highly recommend Jackass Flats. Thank you Pam!

Wasn't able to make it due to wind and me towing my little camp trailer. Pam was very understanding. I WILL go, though!!! As you should, also! I am a prior Terlingua Ranch land owner, and the Little Burro store is a life saver.

Good location - short drive to BBNP

Good little area to lay your head. You have views of the mountains and the Little Burro shop was very handy. We needed a spot to put our trailer and sleep for the night, we had power/water and everything was as advertised. The RV spots are very close to each other, luckily we had some nice neighbors on both sides. We were able to see the stars (wow) and get a good night sleep. I would recommend.

Last Resort

Overall, we were unhappy with the lack of space. The property was big but they only had four elec/water poles to accommodate two rental slots per pole with about two to three feet of space between slots. No showers for people in tents and only two port a potties. The only thing that made it worthwhile was the view of the night sky.

Site 14 - Jackass Flats Campground RVs/Horse

Everyone was friendly and helpful. Site was clean and easy to navigate. It was a little closer to the road than I anticipated but road noise wasn’t a huge issue. The store was convenient and had everything you may need. Our favorite part were the friendly furry friends, Rue, Ouggie and the three burros.
