Self Camping at El Cosmico
Tons of character and style
What a cool place. Great Marfa vibe. Great setting and tons of character.
Lovely hangout area with sofas and cool tunes.
Unique outdoor tubs.
It was very quiet (late October) and I imagine it can be pretty busy when the stage is used and trailers booked out.
Good value for self camping . Maybe a bit pricey for the other facilities .

We are a school group who has camped at El Cosmico regularly in the last 3 years- they are always lovey and helpful and the facilities and spaces are great!

Self Camping at El Cosmico
I loved the layout at El Cosmico and how close it was to town. They provide all camp guests with hot indoor and outdoor showers as well as flushing toilets which really upgrades the camping experience. They also have a beautiful gift shop and lounge area where they serve delicious coffee every morning. My only complaints are how close the tent camping is to the road as road noise was significant, and that they leave overhead string lights on at night which makes it too bright for stargazing and sleeping. Would recommend bringing earplugs and an eye mask. Regardless, we really enjoyed our time there and will most definitely be back!!!

Close to “downtown” Marfa, a hip place to hang out! Parked in their large lot and car-camped quite comfortably. Multiple well-supplied bathrooms and showers available. Cool spot.

Luxurious for Campers Not Glampers
My intention is not to give a low rating. We really liked El Cosmico, however I wouldn't recommend it to everyone or all the time.
If you have experience camping (or cabin-ing) places where a flush toilet and a sink became your definition of comfort and luxury, then the bathrooms at El Cosmico won't cause you any consternation. They are very clean, but they're not the most private experience.
We self-camped when very few people were there, and had a ton of space to ourselves, while not feeling isolated. The grounds are super fun and the communal kitchen was super handy. It is next to a busy road and the spot we picked was fairly nosy with traffic. But the grass was cushy, there were lots of shade options and picnic tables to camp next to!
Again, my intention is not to give a bad review. But if you're shy or particular about your business this might not be the place for you.
