Desert Gardens Oasis Camping
Great stargazing, and a wild desert feeling while still having basic amenities.
Helpful hints (especially if you arrive after dark): when it says turn at the sign, follow the "RV Sites" signs and not the arrows, or you'll end up on private land. after the turn off of the last public road, it's a few miles, and the two gates (left for camping and right for RVs) are right in front of the campground, not earlier on the dirt road [I was confused about whether there might be a separate drive for the tent and RV Sites, but they're close together and you want to follow the desert gardens signs for a good bit until you see both gates]. The bath area is nice, but the shower is visible from some of the sites, if privacy is a concern consider a swimsuit. The pallet bench and table were nice additions for cooking and setting up. Desert sunrise and the 360 view was unbeatable

Interesting campground - I didn't realize I would be shooting hoops and working out the elliptical in the middle of the West TX desert. But the hiking was the main attraction and this piece of land was a lot of fun to explore. I'll check back in next time I'm going to be staying in the area.

The Mad Max Theme Park
This was a great site. Neon lights, a hidden cave, a bottle one sky for star gazing, and amazing views (and in our case free fire wood). Make sure you read the instructions on how to get there (the world is round and if you only trust google maps), otherwise you will end up doing a New York to San Diego via London trip. Great site, great humor from the host in how he has set it up.

Desert Gardens Oasis Camping
Night viewing here was amazing with a clear view of the Milkyway. The land was expansive and very private. We arrived at night, but the directions were pretty clear. The only thing is we couldn't find the showers. We called the host, who was responsive and helpful, but we think maybe we just didn't give him an accurate description of where we were. We probably could've found it but decided to take the L since we could shower somewhere else. I would still definitely come back here.

Ted’s Desert Gardens Oasis is a beautiful spot. Remote, quiet, dark skies… basically everything you could ask for!
