Charming Spot.

I found the camp site charming. It loved the quietness of the night and the beautiful starry sky. I didn’t expect the staff to entertain me but some were a bit flat in their affect. Didn’t seem like they wanted to be there. Mimi was great. Was told I could utilize an oven when I made my reservation but not so once I got there.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at el cosmico. I would have loved to have more trash cans around and the availability to park closer. This would have helped when getting camp set up and taken down. It’s a super cute area and we felt safe with the kiddos.

A Dream

My partner and I tent-camped at El Cosmico nights 2 and 3 of our road trip. We chose a shady spot underneath a tree next to a picnic table and cooked in the outdoor kitchen area both nights. In our downtime, we made music, drew, read, and perused the vinyl collection in the lounge. This space is extremely well-cared for and beautifully realized. It is a calm and creative outdoor hostel for anyone passing through Marfa. Other than feeling a little too exposed to the sometimes noisy highway, everything about the stay was fantastic. Excellent recommendations, delicious complimentary coffee, a legendary outdoor stage to write music on, top-tier soap, and friendly energies abound. I’m sure the new location will be just as wonderful, and I can’t wait to check it out.
