Heath Canyon Ranch
My wife and I spent two lovely nights camping and star gazing at the Heath Canyon Hipcamp! Very quite with shower and bathroom nearby. Russel was great and willing to share information on the history of the place.

Don’t miss out on this site!
This ranch is amazing!!! Super kind host and an incredible experience. The isolated camp sites are gorgeous and exceptionally peaceful. The bathroom/shower is also ridiculously nice. Would 10/10 recommend visiting! Can’t believe we got to experience this land. Thanks so much Russell!

Great area with an awesome view. Ample space for the camp sites with a solar powered bathroom close by. Host was most hospitable and accommodating.

Heath Canyon Ranch
We loved staying at this campsite. We were the only ones the first night and liked how accommodating our hosts were. The site is still about an hour and a half from Big Bend NP proper but not a bad place to stay. We were able to stay close to the shower/bathroom and we had access to the river where we were able to fish and sunbathe from the same place a local tour company did canoe trips out of. We would definitely stay here again.

Magical night here!
We had a great 2 night stay here in April 2024. We selected the river camp on the Rio Grande. Requires 4wd and we had it and it was dicey getting out. But it was so worth it and magical. Birds, sunset, dark skies and no one else on the bank of the Rio Grande. One of the highlights of our two month road journey. Russell was great - flexible, professional, friendly, easy going and communicative. Only suggestion is to have an office marked or some instructions so when guests arrive we know where to go since there is no internet or way to call. We did some wandering around, honked the horn several times and then Russell came out of his house. Would definitely stay with Russell again.

Quiet Desert Camping
This is a very remote, quiet place to camp. It’s quiet, and the night sky is especially beautiful. The views of the mountains are cool to see, and the closeby river is fun to visit during the day. The hosts are friendly. Be sure to be prepared with everything you need before getting here.
