> Beautiful spot if you want a taste of the Chihuahuan Desert without going as remote as Big Bend. Exactly what I expected: wide open area with horizon/rock plateaus in all directions. Sky full of stars at night! You can see some small domiciles in a few directions, but they are fairly far in the distance. You're also not far off the paved road, so you will see headlights now and then with the subtle sound of rubber on road. Other than that, it's completely private. No cell service (at least not through tmobile), which is ok. There's a bar on the corner when you first turn on Terlingua Ranch Roa…

> Perfect spot if you want to tent camp in the desert. The sky is beautiful and the desert comes alive at night. Might want to bring your own canopy because there's no shade. Respect the wild life and don't leave food out!

> Loved the spot and very well maintained campsite. If you want a chill secluded spot for stargazing, this is a great spot.

> Beautiful views! The sites are pretty close together but fortunately we were the only campers so we had the whole place to ourselves! Would definitely come back
