Apache Rock Wilderness Lodge

Welcome to our outdoor enthusiast's paradise! With multiple hiking and ATV trails, as well as numerous spots for rock climbing, there's no shortage of adventure to be had here. The terrain ranges from moderate to steep, offering challenges for all skill levels.

For accommodations, we offer several options. Choose from camping in the valleys with tents or stay in our 6-room lodge, which features beds for 4 to 2 people, one shower, two bathrooms, and an outdoor kitchen. Please remember to bring bottled water for drinking and cooking, as we are off-grid in the higher elevations.

Cool off in our large cistern converted into a swimming pool, or simply take in the breathtaking views. From the Southwest, you can admire the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico and catch a glimpse of the silhouette of the laying lady on clear days. At night, marvel at the lights of Del Rio, located 37 miles away, and enjoy unparalleled stargazing opportunities.

While we're off-grid in the higher elevations, phone service is available for AT&T and T-Mobile users. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and tranquility of our remote haven.
