Terlingua Ranch offers a camping experience with breathtaking views, particularly at night when the stars illuminate the sky with clarity. Visitors appreciate amenities like the pool, cafe, and clean facilities, which provide a comfortable stay. However, some campers find the location a bit remote and note the challenging road conditions leading to the site. Despite these challenges, the friendly staff and unique desert ambiance leave a positive impression on many guests.

The Good and The Bad
The location was easy to find. We decided to spend the night in a tent. I would not return as a tent guest. You hear cars coming in and out of the site on a dirt road, which is loud, all night long with HIGH BEAMS as they weaved up and down the hill. No one followed the dark hours rule from 10pm-7am. The tent sites were REALLY close together & RVs in the same area. The pool was GREAT! Very nice. Very limited chairs. Bring your own. The stars are beautiful as well as the sunset. We’d go back with an RV or camper. Also, it was 97° during the day and a dust storm blew through (35 MPH winds) dropping temperatures to 53° at night. Come prepared for all weather. It was definitely an experience :) The bathhouses were decent for being outdoors. Showers not as much, bring flip flops to shower in.

Lower Primitive Camping, Site C
They were so friendly (and kid friendly) and we had so much room. Though, we didn't consider the wind when planning our campout and really struggled with the dust.

This property is GORGEOUS. Fantastic views, amazing stars, pool and restaurant on-site are super clutch, hiking trail with an awesome view of Big Bend, and reliable Wi-Fi between the campground and restaurant. Was here almost a week and had a fantastic time.
