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

Chicklet

Loved our stay at Chicklet! Secluded enough to where we felt that we were alone on the property and the views at night were amazing. Toilet and shower on the property site were great, pro tip if you’re showering make sure you see the numbers illuminated on the water heater box so that it’s on cause my girlfriend didn’t and took a cold shower haha all in all, this was a great stay and we enjoyed it!

Chicklet

Very nice camp with a lot of privacy. We stayed four nights and were the only campers on that part of the property. Enjoyed the sundowns, and the wildlife around camp.

Chicklet

We stayed 2 nights in the Chicklet Campground. The location was easy to find and the views from the campground were great. Not sure if there could be a better location with close proximity to Big Bend. The composting toilet and solar shower were also a great touch of comfort. We will certainly book again if we visit Big Bend soon!

Unsupervised at Arboles Muertos

Very clean at a beautiful location

Very clean and beautiful location and views. I was surprised to see all the additions they've added compared to the pictures at present. The tent was partially enclosed by a rustic sheet metal wall which included a bar-like table with cookware, gas stove, and available water. Additionally there was a small table and chairs to sit on. The outhouse was very clean, too. We loved the chairs and fireplace out in front of the tent and used that with the kids. We even did some stair gazing. This is a great location for dark skies and the stairs were amazing from right outside the tent.
