This was a great place! Absolutely beautiful setting! Peace and quiet for miles. Shower and bathroom was a huge bonus for our time there.

Peace and quiet

We stayed three nights 10/17-10/19. Remote, quiet, peaceful. There are seemingly several camping options but for us we stayed in a section just up from the river bank which was mostly concrete and some gravel. These sites were flat; have access to 50 amp service but we didn’t need it so did not use it. There are no other services there though other reviewers report a solar shower and toilets at the main home complex. We also didn’t use those facilities. The site is a takeout spot for canoe and kayak trips that begin up river so we saw two crews take out while we were there. These were the only folks we saw in our three days and nights. We put our kayak in the river but there was not enough water for us to paddle around. When the river is up, this would be ideal for kayaking around the Camp site. The beach area is great. Take all the food and water and power that you need because there is nothing around. We enjoyed the sunrises sunsets and the dark skies all to ourselves. There is a Mexican ghost town across the river. The bridge to La Linda is still standing but it is barricaded so no traffic of any kind can cross. We would definitely stay at Heath Canyon Ranch again

Russell was kind enough to call me beforehand and explain what I needed to do since he was not going to be able to be on site when I arrived. Which I’m glad because you do not have service once you are there although they do have WiFi near the main house. The area is very secluded. The rio was really low so we did not get in but we enjoyed exploring around and our pups loved being able to run around a bit. Be prepared as the nearest store is about an hour away. The views are breathtaking. We would definitely stay again if passing through.

Amazing place! The perfect spot on the river- pretty easy to get to just don’t park on the sand.

Would stay again!

It’s a little ways away from the entrance to Big Bend, but a great place to camp for a weekend if you can’t get a spot in the park. Sits right on the Rio Grande and you can see a Mexican ghost town on the other side. The people were very friendly and helpful as well. Would stay again!
