Site 2 - Saddletramp Ranch, High Desert Camp
Tent site · Sleeps 4Open range is a thing of the past, yet the ranches here intertwine, and the view goes on forever. Undulating hills of desert shrubs, cactus and rock – like an ocean with its waves.
Just over 30 miles from Alpine and within an hour from the Big Bend National Park entrance. At a higher elevation than Terlingua, temps are at least 10 degrees cooler here. Easy access to Alpine, Marathon, Marfa, Fort Davis and Terlingua. Great location for Viva Big Bend or touring the area.
Currently, we have two campsites available.
Site 1 allowing RV, trailer, car, or tent camping. No utilities. Easy access (one semi-high spot on drive in). A larger site for larger groups.
Site 2 with primitive tent camping (or car camping). Some high clearance areas along road. A smaller site, more private. No trailers due to parking and road limitations. Fits one car only.
Campsites are far enough apart to allow privacy.
