Site 2 - Saddletramp Ranch, High Desert Camp
This is a lovely campsite at a great price. Shannon’s directions were clear and the free firewood left at the site was a nice perk. Beautiful view of Elephant Mtn and, of course, the vast sky full of stars. Thought I saw the mysterious “marfa lights” but my eyes could’ve been playing tricks on me. Will most definitely be back.

Solitude, expansive views, great host! Very peaceful, felt like an early settler.

Loved the view of the nearby mountains. The only evidence I saw of any humans were some lights way off in the distance. I appreciated the level spot for my tent, the fire circle and the easy access back to TX 118 (and from there Alpine, Terlinga and BBNP). This was a good spot for solitude (exactly what I was looking for).

Spring Break Camping
Shannon was kind and extremely accommodating for our trip! We enjoyed our stay and the grounds. It was very secluded and could not be seen from the highway. The property was between Terilingua and Alpine, two really cute towns. It was about an 1.5 hour drive to get to Chisos Basin Visitor Center. The original plan was to bring horses, but with the spike in diesel prices, we decided to focus on hiking instead. The stalls were made of four cattle panels and a bit rocky, so that is something to factor in on your packing list. We hope to be able to return with the horses one day soon!

We loved primitive camping on Shannon's Land at SaddleTramp Camp. All the stars you could see in the sky and amazing company and advice on adventures by Shannon. She is an amazing author and truly loves this unique landscape. We cannot wait to come back and visit!
