Mel was super communicative and helpful throughout our time. We had no problems staying here and it was the perfect alternative when we couldn’t find campgrounds open in Big Bend. The stars were amazing and the space was a great introduction to camping for my wife who had never been before. We didn’t try the showers but all the other amenities were great additions to our trip. Would recommend!

My husband and I really enjoyed Mel’s Place! The instructions were incredibly easy to follow and we were able to find the place with zero issues. We loved the surroundings and everything was exactly as described! It was a relaxing spot and pretty close to the park, so that’s a huge win!

We loved our stay at Mel’s place! The location was private, serene, & arguably the best option if not staying inside the park. We couldn’t have been closer to Big Bend Boating and Hiking company which made reporting bright and early for our all-day kayaking trip super easy. The beds offered such a gift of comfort after long days exploring Big Bend. We got caught in some extreme winds, but Mel was super responsive and made sure we had what we needed throughout our stay. Just a few minutes from Terlingua Ghost Town and ten from the Big Bend National Park entrance.

I have lost count of how many times I have stayed at Mel’s place. It such a bang for your buck. It has amazing view and super close to BBNP. I will continue to stay here. 🧡
