This is an older Argosy Trailer made by Airstream, it has a full bed and a twin bed. The shower does not work, however there are showers and a full bath in a separate utility building (communal) 10 feet away, along with a community outdoor kitchen. The views are incredible! Also, we are happy to offer cooking facilities, we ask that you clean your pots, pans, and dishes after using them.

The space
You may use the trailer's toilet (please no toilet paper in toilet). To flush the RV toilet there is a foot pedal at the front base of the toilet, just step down on it till the toilet flushes....step ALL the way down, half way down just adds water to the bowl. We have a full size bed and a twin bed in the trailer, it has heaters for the chilly season and AC when it gets hot.

Guest access
To get to the Argosy trailer, turn into the Terlingua Ghost Town from Hwy 170. Go about 1/3 mile past the cemetery and the Boathouse. Turn RIGHT onto a dirt road just before the "Welcome to Terlingua sign" it dips down. Stay right at intersections. Go between two white Gargoyle heads (that is Robertson Rd). We are the first driveway on the RIGHT. We are located behind the Boathouse (200 yards), you just need to go around the block to get to us. The Argosy is located next to the tan metal garage/shed. It is under a roof on the side of the shed. The bathroom is in the adjacent tan stucco building right next to the Argosy. You will have use of the whole trailer, and the outside kitchen cooking range in the common area.

Other things to note
The Argosy is an older Airstream, we love it and hope you will too!

Neighborhood highlights

The trailer is located in the Terlingua Ghost Town and is within walking distance to entertainment, eating, shopping, music and three bars. We like to go to the Boathouse first (it has a full bar), then mosey on up to the Starlight Theatre. The Barbeque place is great, it is located on the side of the cemetery about 1/2 block down; there is also the Taco Milagro restaurant (true Mexican tacos), and the El Dorado for Dinner. For Breakfast, you can walk to the Posado Milagro, they serve Expresso as well.

Joe and I are retired photographers who have lived and played in the Terlingua area for over 25 years, there is so much to do, we have not even scratched the surface....we are constantly finding new adventures. We are close to Mexico, which is so fun, the Rio Grand for float trips, and to some of the most pristine mountain biking and hiking trails anywhere.
