EXPERIENCE OUTDOOR FREEDOM on our 80-Acre Agua Fria Mesas property in Brewster County, Texas between Big Bend Ranch State Park and Big Bend National Park!
 

Why stay at a campsite where you’re packed in on top of other campers when you can have this entire 80-acre property all to yourself?!  Many other campsites in the area limit you to a small area where you can pitch a tent but you have to stay in that small area, NOT US!  You can hike all over these 80-acres.  We hope your hiking boots are worn in because there is an abundance of exploration to be had on this unique property.

​

PLEASE NOTE that this is a RURAL CAMPSITE with NO improvements other than a road that we have bladed into the property that leads to an area where you can setup camp!

• There is NO electricity, NO bathroom, NO shelter, NO RV hookups, NO dumpsites, NO trash cans, and there is generally NO cell phone signal or service in this area.

• There may or may not be security cameras, trail cameras, and wildlife feeders on the property.  We're constantly rotating these to different properties.  If you see any of these, please do NOT tamper with them at all and leave them alone.

 

You will need to be 100% self-sufficient and bring everything that you’ll need for the time you spend here – we provide the land and you provide EVERYTHING ELSE!

 

This is a great property for anyone looking to camp in a remote, yet accessible, area with no other folks nearby.  You can bring your tent and set it up at the camping area located at the end of the road that we have bladed into the property.  You can tow a camper/RV and park it along the road leading to the campsite or down at the campsite itself (please make sure you're able to get it out because there is only 1 way in and 1 way out of this campsite!).  Heck, you can even show up with a lawn chair and a snuggie and have a super mobile camp setup!

​

* DO NOT leave any trash, debris, etc. behind.  You MUST pack out EVERYTHING that you brought with you, no exceptions! *

​

* DO NOT remove anything from the property.  You can look, touch, and explore, but please leave everything (for example fossils) where you found them so that others can enjoy them after you! *

​

The property is under 5 miles from the intersection of Highway 118 and Agua Fria Road.  It’s accessible via maintained county roads which you can usually traverse with a low clearance 2-wheel drive vehicle but we always RECOMMEND a high-clearance 4x4 vehicle for traveling off of a paved highway in this part of West Texas.  If you are coming after a rainstorm, we recommend waiting a bit for the area to dry up and/or having a 4x4 vehicle because even though the roads are maintained county roads, they can get slick and flash floods through the seasonal creeks that cut through the roadways do occur!

​

 We will send you a welcome package with more information on how to get here and how to tell where the property lines are when you make your booking.

​

*** PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO GET HERE BEFORE YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY, YOU CANNOT RELY ON HAVING CELL SERVICE OR A GPS PROPERLY WORKING IN THIS AREA! *** 

​

HERE ARE A FEW REASONS TO CAMP HERE OVER OTHER PLACES:

​

ENJOY HIKING WITHOUT THE CROWDS!

​

• This is 80-acres of PRIVATE PROPERTY that’s all yours to enjoy during your stay here, you’re free to hike around and explore it all!  It’s like owning your own land without the expense of owning your own land!

• To preserve the beauty of this property, we do ask that you minimize your driving on the property.  Feel free to pull your vehicle(s) down the road that we've bladed into the property and all the way down to the campsite that we have cleared but after that, please use your feet to explore the property!

• Please feel free to hike around and explore every inch of the property if you so desire!  With two (2) mesas, various cave-like formations, rolling hills covering much of the property, crevasses, and varied terrain throughout, there is no shortage of spots for you to explore during your stay here.

• Be sure to bring your camera, we have a feeling you’ll want to photograph “all the things” during your time here.

 

INCREDIBLE VIEWS!

​

• If you’ve been to this area of West Texas near Big Bend, you already know about the incredible views in every direction.  If you haven’t been to this area, buckle up that chin strap or else your jaw is going to hit the floor once you see this landscape.  A few of the views you’ll get to enjoy from this property include:

  • 9-Point Mesa to the Northeast

  • Packsaddle Mountain to the Southeast

  • Hen Egg Mountain, Herman’s Peak, and Terlingua Creek to the South

  • Alamo Creek, Paint Mountain, Agua Fria Mountain, and Needle Peak to the Southwest

 

THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT! 

​

• Yes, that’s a song but we’re serious – the night skies here are second to none.  With very few neighbors in sight, there’s not much man-made light in this area which in turn equals AMAZING star gazing opportunities!  Trust us, you won’t need any sort of screen to entertain you at night with all the stars you’re going to be able to see!

 

FANCY VIEWING WILDLIFE?

 

• Bring your binoculars and climb up to the top of one of the 2 mesas and look to the East along Terlingua Creek where we’ve seen coyotes, burros, foxes, doves, quail, crows, free-range cattle, aoudad, mule deer, roadrunners, snakes, etc.!

• PLEASE BE AWARE that this is West Texas and there are many dangerous animals (and situations) out here but most of them won’t mess with you if you don’t mess with them.  Don’t let your guard down and be sure to be always aware of your surroundings!

 

LOVE ROCKS?

 

• If so, you’re in for a treat on this property!  The ground of this property literally glistens as the sun shines off the variety of rocks here.

• One of our previous campers texted us the following: “Your place is a Geologists's dream!  Quartz, petrified wood, and fossils all over the place!”  He loved his time on this property exploring the various types of rocks and we think you will too!
