With 160 acres located just off Highway 118, two miles north of Study Butte, 7 miles from Terlingua Ghost Town, 7 miles from Big Bend National Park and 16 miles from Big Bend Ranch State Park, Arboles Muertos is a perfect place for tent campers, small trailers and Class-B RV's and digital nomads to set up a home base for all the many activities in the area. Your privacy is our #1 priority, so our sites are spread out over the property and most are not in view of other sites, providing you with a backcountry camping experience, yet only a few minutes off the highway. For large groups, or those that are into a more social camping experience, we also have a cluster of three sites spaced about 150 feet apart. We have several spotlessly clean composting pit toilets on the property, all just a short walk from your site. All guests have access to our centrally located outdoor shower. Rancho de los Arboles Muertos gets its name from the 25 foot tall Eastern Red Cedar trees that are being salvaged from land clearing operations near Austin and "planted" around the property. We're located directly across the highway from Willow Mountain, with 800 foot sheer faces and rising over 1000 feet above the highway, making it one of the most prominent features in the area next to the Chisos of Big Bend. The property is covered in Ocotillo, hidden arroyos, tall bentonite dunes, volcanic ridges, dry creeks and the occasional fossil. Trail runners can easily create 5 mile loop over ridges and in arroyos without leaving the property. For the burners out there, the place will have an unmistakable deep playa vibe once all trees have made it home )'( Socialized dogs are allowed on leash, but we do have a high coyote population in the area, as well as other dangers to pets. Large groups are welcome and we also rent the entire 160 acre property for private events. Please contact us for more info. We are a completely off-grid property, so remember to bring water! In the event of heavy rain, the roads could become impassible for a few hours to a couple days. If we see a major storm in the forecast, we will contact you directly to discuss options. The rainy season is late summer, however, and we are not taking bookings during that time, so this should not be an issue. Check out our Instagram page for more about us @arboles_muertos

Stop scrolling and BOOK HERE

Somehow Katie and Brian found a piece of land that’s near the places travelers need while still supplying the privacy and quiet that so many of us are searching for. They’ve arranged the campsites on the property so that you feel like you’re the only ones there. While the driveway is natural, it was very well maintained, even better than the dirt roads we bounced around on in Big Bend. And when I say the nights are quiet, I mean dead silent. One bonus I didn’t even realize at first: Unlike most camp showers where you feel like you’re bathing in a closet, this one was massive and would be great for families who might need to rinse the day’s dust off multiple kids. Would definitely book there again and hope I get the chance.

Oasis in the Dunes

Fantastic property. We stayed at Disco. Nice and secluded in the dunes. Clean well designed outdoor shower (with hot water) and outhouse. Katie and Brian were amazing hosts. Will definitely be staying here on all my Big Bend adventures. Look forward to coming back.

Wonderful experience

Loved the quiet and beautiful landscape at Rancho de Los árboles muertos. The starry skies and sunsets /sunrises were great. The shower and outhouse were also a great convenience as well as attractively done. Brian brought us fire wood upon arrival. Location was very easy to get in and around Big Bend. Great place, highly recommend.

Great spot, hot shower.

Hot shower was the best. Loved it. Instructions clear, would recommend finding this campsite in the day. Could not imagine it at night as it’s very dark in terlingua. Thanks!
