Sky Ranch is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
Sky Ranch is the result of a love for the desert and for 1980s post-apocalyptic movies. A place to step out of our busy lives and be still, gain a new perspective, and imagine a different way to live. Once the floor of a large inland sea, Sky Ranch Terlingua is covered with fossilized mollusk shells. After the water receded, the area was visited by various animal and human migrations. Today, Sky Ranch is a refuge for two native Texans with deep roots that predate Texas itself.  "Be friendly, but firm. But most of all, be yourselves."  - Lester, Cherry 2000

Sky Ranch offers a serene and secluded camping experience, ideal for those seeking peace and connection with nature. Most campers appreciate the well-constructed shelter that provides respite from the windy conditions typical of the desert landscape. The proximity to Big Bend National Park adds convenience, while the dark skies offer an unparalleled stargazing opportunity. Some reviews noted minor challenges with wind and lack of cell service, but the overall sentiment was overwhelmingly positive.

The shelter was really nice while it was windy. It kept our tents and things safe from the wind and the heat as well. We had a really good time. The views were great and the hosts were friendly.

This place was really close to the park entrance, which made for an easy drive to BBNP. We were able to fit our 4 person tent inside the shelter, which turned out to be a good idea as the winds get really strong out there. Great views of the stars at night and very quiet, even though a couple of other rentals are near by. No cell signal, but that was part of the goal. Camp owner was really good at communicating and providing super helpful information. Would definitely camp there again.

I really enjoyed my visit! It was very quiet and peaceful. The site was very easy to get to and find, and my tiny car made it easily over the bit of dirt roads on the way. Overall, it was a beautiful campsite and I’d recommend it to anyone!!

10/10 would stay again!
Great little spot with a perfect view for sunrise/sunset. The shelter was larger than expected and the view of the stars was phenomenal. I highly recommend!
