Beautiful and walkable

Guests say this area is scenic and it’s easy to get around.
We offer places to put your tent in the Terlingua ghost town. We charge $30/night for up to two people, $15/night/person extra for more than 2 people. No toilet paper down any of the toilets (they do have bidets).

The space
We are right in the Terlingua Ghost Town with walking access to the Historical Cemetery, shopping, and restaurants.

Guest access
We have walking access to everything in the Terlingua Ghost Town.

Other things to note
We ask that you do not put toilet paper down any of the toilets on the compound, we have lidded trash bins for that; most businesses in the Ghost Town request the same. We also request that you arrive before 9pm so as not to disturb the other campers. If for some reason you cannot make it by then, we would appreciate it if you set up your tent in our entry parking area till the next day. Also, we have had issues with campers partying till wee hours at night, not necessarily loud but noisy enough that others could hear them, that isn't OK either or fair to the other campers. If the bathroom is busy, you may use bathroom #2 in the taller stucco building which is the same one you would use if you end up camping in the front entry area.
Also, right now there is a fire ban, charcoal is ok for cooking.

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.
