Sky Ranch North Shelter
Peaceful, quiet, beautiful stay
If you're looking for peace and quiet with beautiful views, this is the place! Really enjoyed our time here. It was windy, but the shelter helped. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Loved that it's so close to the park entrance!

Sky Ranch North Shelter
Sky Ranch was a great shelter to camp at on my way out of Big Bend. Plenty of dark sky here as well. Just had a chance to bike before I lost daylight but mountain biking the roads here would be fun too. This is an easy (and quick) site to get to just off of highway with direct instructions provided by host.

Sky Ranch North Shelter
Great place to stay
Really enjoyed my stay here, it's a great place to set up your tent and not have it blown away by the desert wind. I brought a solar shower bag here with me and it was great for taking a shower after the long day. It's probably the closest place to the national park, aside from being in the park itself. There is no cell service out here, or in the town, pretty much at all. I downloaded offline maps and put a marker on where the site was, it made it easier to find once I got there. I also saved the gps coordinates. This campsite is a great place for watching the stars, getting away from it all and just listening to the sound of nature.

An awesome resource for adventurers
Sky Ranch is a terrific base for adventuring around Big Bend. I stayed 2 nights in April (50's at night) and was able to enjoy vast views, camp fires in the fire pit and stunning dark skies.
If you are generally self-sufficient and comfortable in the outdoors, the shelters at Sky Ranch provide a welcome level of protection from the elements (it got really windy at night). Be sure to pack in enough water, firewood, a camp mattress, layers of clothing and tent tarps. I would consider bringing a pop-up privacy tent to stake down with the camp toilet but it's also a short ride into town for services.
