El Cosmico in Marfa offers an eclectic and charming camping experience with a range of lodging options, from tent spots to quirky accommodations like teepees and trailers. The staff garners positive mentions for their accommodating nature, and the camp's location makes it convenient for exploring Marfa. Most reviews highlight the excellent amenities, including clean bathrooms and a comfortable lounge area. However, the proximity to the road and railway can introduce some noise, though it's typically quiet at night.

Great location and overall a pretty cool spot. Has free coffee in the morning too. If you're bringing an RV/camper just know RV spots are in the parking lot excluded from the general camping area.

Know before you go- RV camping is in the parking lot with no hookups. So if you're bringing an RV you won't be in the actual campground. Otherwise it's a pretty cool spot and I enjoyed my stay. Great location and free coffee in the morning. I recommend

Tent camping at el cosmico with 2 kids was easy and fun. We were there in early March and it was very quiet only a few other tents. The location is great for checking out Marfa and surrounding region including Fort Davis. Outdoor shower was perfect and common spaces were fun to hang out in. You are right off a main road so there is some road noise but overnight was pretty quiet.
