Good to know

LOCATION! Close to everything. Stunning mountain & desert views from camp. Watch a beautiful sunrise over the Chisos Basin. You can see Emory Peak. Santa Elena Canyon is also in view. Private with nice space between campsites, but understand there is no tall vegetation here to create a buffer in the desert. It's a wide open expanse of sky and desert views that will not disappoint most adventure seekers. Always stay ON the roads here. Leave no trace. Thank you.

Other Details to Note

ADULTS 18 AND UP ONLY.. NO KIDS OR PETS.. High clearance vehicle is helpful but not required. The dirt road can be bumpy due to weather. The road may be temporarily impassable if it rains. *Stay on the roads! (Don't create your own path through the desert. Leave no trace) Stay at your own risk. We are not responsible for loss, damages or accidents.

Beautiful stay just outside of BBNP! Camping out at Mel’s place was extremely worth it and the campfire and hammock made it so amazing to watch the stars at night. Our host was very helpful and responsive. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking to make their adventure to the park that much more enjoyable!

We always love staying at Mel’s Place! This is our fourth stay. She is so kind and thoughtful and leaves special touches for guests in the tents. We will always come back!

Mel's place was everything I was looking for and was exactly as described. The location is close to everything in Terlingua and with easy access to the park, and a very short drive to everything there is to do in the area. The property itself is close to all of the stores/restaurants/etc but feels as remote and serene as you can get. I've been to Terlingua several times, and Mel's place offered the best opportunity for looking at the stars and surrounding mountains that I've ever had in the area. This is essentially turn-key camping. No setup or gear required, just arrive to the campsite and enjoy the tent/table/other amenities and your surroundings.

Great tent, everything as pictured. Mel communicated everything and was extremely responsive. Location was perfect, out of the town just enough to feel secluded, close enough to be at the park or Terlingua ghost town in no time! Will be back!!
