Wildcat Mtn
Another great experience at Wildcat Mountain. Great to get away to the quiet.
Some things of note on this trip:
- I explored the dirt road to I-385 through the north part of BBNP. On the road between TX-118 and Terlingua Ranch Lodge, this road splits off right at the point where the pavement ends (there's a "Marathon" sign posted there). Road was dirt. Signage was clear - little chance of getting lost. High clearance/4x4 is recommended. Was cool to get to see another part of BBNP.
- Visited the Jackass Flats general store. Small, but nice. Good place to get necessities, if you don't want to run all the way to "town".
- I also did the "usual" stuff. Hiking to the west of the campsite, Terlingua Ranch Lodge (cafe and showers), BBNP (the Rio Grande was dry!), shopping in Study Butte/Terlingua Ghost Town, assorted driving about, star-gazing at night, afternoon dozing in my chair in the shade of the outhouse.
If you like the desert, and don't mind driving, this site is a great location away from the crowds at the park. :)

Lovely spring break trip!
Me and my friends just spent spring break here and mark met up with us when we first got there to give us some recs on places to see & have us some firewood! He was lovely!
The stars were amazing and I would definitely camp here again!

9 Points Camp
The property was clean, quiet and within a good distance to Big Bend National Park. Great views. Off the main roads enough so I never heard or saw any traffic. But not so far where it took forever to get back to them. Simple amenities were a nice touch. Plenty of room for my 30ft travel trailer and truck.
Host had excellent communication.

Beautiful 360 views
Love this spot!! AMAZING 360 views. Off the beaten path. It’s well worth the short drive up from Terlingua.

Wildcat Mtn
This was my third time visiting this campsite and it was a great experience again. We did the usual things (hiked up to the top of big mountain to the WNW as well as drove out to Terlingua and BBNP for the day). We also added a couple visits to the nearby Terlingua Ranch Lodge - the showers were nice and the food at the Bad Rabbit Cafe was good.
I highly recommend this spot. :)

Best campsite ever!
This was our second time staying at this magical slice of heaven. Both times Mark and Michelle greeted us shortly upon arrival, and are kind and friendly hosts. This is an awesome quiet and isolated campsite surrounded by incredible mountain views and wide open skies. Enjoy gorgeous sunsets and bright stars! It is an easy drive to the National and State Parks. We look forward to our next stay at Wildcat Mtn! This is our favorite campsite ever! Thank you so much. We will definitely be back.
