Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Just a relatively flat plot of land in Study Butte, near Terlingua. Close to everything, especially the National Park. Super easy to get to, a quarter mile of two wheel drive easy gravel road from the highway. Just minutes to food, grocery, showers, toilets, gas, etc... Not the most beautiful spot, neighbors in sorta run down houses, but there are $150 rental cabins a block away,. A great place to book up for a group of friends. I take 15 to 20 buddies each March. Please note there are no toilets or showers on site, but 24 hour free toilets and $3 pay showers are only a 2 minute drive away at Big Bend Resort and Adventures.

Great group camping spot. Up to 4 vehicles, 16 people. The location is amazing. 1 minute off the main highway in Study Butte. This is about the closest you can camp to the national Park. Bring your group of friends and park in a circle around the grill and relax! Exactly Here: Cut Paste to google maps 29.3372023, -103.5391588 Less than one mile to 24 hour toilets and $3 pay showers, and gas station. Five miles to the National Park entrance. Five miles to the Terlingua Ghost Town. Two minutes to the grocery store. I camp here in my adventure van every time I go to Terlingua. It is close to everything I want to do, Santa Elena Canyon, Chisos Mountains, The Front Porch and Starlight, La Kiva, Chili Pepper, Posado Milagro, offroad trails, Terlingua Ranch, etc... The ugly part is that there are houses and trailers around me. A rooster. A pesky dog reported to pee on car tires. But few people. Its quiet. Your generator might be the loudest thing in the neighborhood. I just look over the roofs at the mountain views in 4 directions and remind myself to smile a huge smile. I'm in Terlingua again! My spot is a fairly flat 140 by 180 foot lot. It has a flat road on the south, and a driveway splitting it in two. We usually park in a circle and set up camp inside. There is no firewood, no toilet, no outhouse, no water. But there is the amazing Bee Mountain looming just over your shoulder. And every activity you can imagine all close by. And you absolutely WILL NOT NEED 4 WHEEL DRIVE! Any regular commuter car can easily drive the roads. You are at the right spot when you see the ambulance made into a camper trailer!

Beautiful location, loved the area, close to big bend. My friend and I had a very hard time following the directions provided. The neighbors are super helpful and friendly! Google Maps doesn’t take you to the right spot.

Great spot for the night! Loved being right under the mountain! The dogs barked for a few minutes when we first got there but quickly left us alone. We would definitely park here again if we are back in the area!

EXTREMELY NOISY!!!

Campsite 1 (West)

Terrible experience. There was a party right outside the campsite that went on until 4am!!! People yelling. Dogs barking. Roosters calling. It was a madhouse. I got no sleep and will not be returning here ever again.

Nice little place. Loved sleeping right next to a mountain. The dogs/chickens are pretty loud throughout the night but just bring some earplugs.

Campsite 1 (West)

The directions were really good - which was great because the overturned semi and dumped massive refrigeration unit on the highway to Pecos put us 5+ hours behind schedule and we arrived WELL after dark. Sadly - the good news ended there. As we drove up 3 15-20# black dogs charged the van. One went under the van (we were already stopped thank goodness). There were several large dogs barking on the neighbors property 30 ft from our camping spot - the dogs were plenty unhappy that we were there. So were all the neighbors in houses within 60ft of the camp spot. We made the decision to leave as it was 10pm and we had just created way more unending chaos than was reasonable. Being concerned about the dogs who were still running around the van, and wanting to be certain that we didn't hit one, I got out of the van to shoo them away, and give my husband the all clear to move out. The dogs decided that driving me away was their next task. They came at me. I'm in animal rescue - I know what to do to stay safe - but three on one is never good. I wasn't bitten, but each dog did the dart and dash with teeth showing. Had I turned my back, there would have been a bite. This all solidified our decision to leave as we would not have been able to leave the van during our stay, which meant we couldn't have walked our dog. I doubt the general barking would have stopped. I so appreciate the effort to making affordable camping available - but this - isn't it.

Definitely an RV spot with a view! My daughter played with the neighbor’s kids and still talks about how much fun she had. Very safe

Site and cancel policy not for us

Campsite 1 (West)

We did not stay there. With the directions it was still hard to locate the exact property boundaries. Peter did send some better coordinates than those originally provided on Hipcamp but I had to drive down the road in order to confer service to contact him. When we got to the spot that looked like the photo, there was not a level spot to put our rig that did not have bushes in it. Nice view of the mountain but did not work for our 19ft rig. I think we may have left even if it did fit- the properties surrounding leave a lot to be desired and we didn’t feel safe leaving our rig unattended. The website would not let us cancel day of. We did pick up on the roosters and dogs others have mentioned.

Basically as advertised, a plot of empty land to park on. Big rigs will have a tough time getting back to the northern two spots. Thankfully our neighbors cheerfully shared their easy to access spot in #1.
