Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

We bought our property in 2003. Built our completely off-grid cabin in 2009, and moved out here full time in 2015. Since 2015 we've been continually improving our property and in 2019 had the idea to start a small campsite on the backside of our property in a private valley. A valley that while private and secluded has excellent 360 degree views.

Are you looking for a secluded adventure? Is being remote a priority? Dark skies and stars with not one artificial light? Surrounded by mountains? We've saved a spot just for you! What you need to know: -High clearance not always needed but recommended. - 12' X 12' shade structure! - 360° panoramic views! - You need good tires to safely get to the campsite. You will travel about 7 miles down dusty dirt roads to get to your campsite. These roads are maintained by Terlingua Ranch and can vary wildly from smooth 25 mph conditions to high clearance only with bad rains. Contact Brad if you have concerns about road conditions. - Composting toilet. We've converted a Porta-potty into a composting toilet. To keep it out of your sight it's a short walk away from the campsite. - This campground is private and remote but conveniently located within 15-20 minutes of Terlingua Ranch Lodge and the Bad Rabbit . They are well stocked with great food, Wi-Fi, ice, beer, and other necessities. - This is an off grid campground. If you are looking to unplug, this place is for you. - Mule deer, Javalina, lots of birds, and the unique desert plants. - We strive to provide a campsite that is equal to, if not better, than the state and national park campsites. - This looks close to the park on the map, but there are mountains that you have to drive around to get to either entrance. The drive to the Study Butte entrance is about 1 hour. If you have 4X4 and high clearance you can get to the 385 entrance in about 1 hour 15 minutes. Ask Brad about this route. - Best to arrive before dark. - Terlingua Ranch Lodge, located about 4 miles away. The Bad Rabbit Café serves good food. (Hours fluctuate). Also, during the summer you can buy a key from the Lodge to swim in the pool ($7/day). At the pool you can have a hot shower. - You can have use a camp stove/charcoal grill to cook with during a fire ban. You have to supply the stove/grill. No wood fires are allowed. - The owners home is located nearby, but out of sight. If you have an emergency, the house has a landline and other resources you might need. If you've read this far and this doesn't scare you off, we are looking forward to hosting your camping adventure!
