Ocotillos Village

10000% recommend this place. Here’s the VERY in depth review I know you’re looking for: I booked a Big Bend as a surprise for my boyfriend for our anniversary. I wanted a place that helped us extend the experience into our evening accommodations, and boy did this place deliver. We visited 2/20-2026-2/23/2026 and here are my thoughts: 1. This is a self check in property. HOWEVER, we had the best service. The gentleman who runs the property (not the owner but the older guy who lives on site and literally does it all ie cleaning, prep, repairs, etc) was awesome. He flagged us down when we got there and showed us the ins and out of the entire property when he didn’t have to. Because of that, there was a lot we don’t have to guess on or waste time figuring out. He also was up at the crack of dawn every day and the facilities were always immaculate. OWNERS: if you see this- he’s awesome and I wish I could remember his name but great employee 2. This place was exactly what I wanted. A frame with a queen bed, enough room for luggage, a sturdy tie/latch that lets you “lock” it at night, a very well working AC/heat unit, electricity plugs, micro fridge to hold our beer and lunch supplies, and campfire pit for the best after hour time (we bought firewood ahead of time but you can buy it there). The plexiglass ceiling and doors gave the best stargazing views at night and morning sunrise views from bed. 3. We LOVED the facilities. The shower and toilet area was always warm, away from the wind, and very clean. The indoor showers were perfect. The floor is heated thought the water heater and the water was always hot. So even when it was 40 degrees we had a relaxing, warm shower. Also, there were two shower heads in each spacious shower with fairy lights so it was a romantic experience for my boyfriend and I. 4. Very convenient location! The property was close to Terlingua so we ate out for dinner each night with a sub 5 min drive. Also very close to the entrance to the park and not too far from the state park. 5. My boyfriend and I travel a good bit and have been to many national parks. It’s not often that we start somewhere we are crazy impressed by, but this was one of them. We stayed for 3 nights and had ZERO complaints. This is all to say this place is worth the price and is so awesome. Great experience and facilities. We will be returning and have already recommended it to others. (Ps we stayed in the Little Dipper. I suggest choosing an A frame that is east facing to get the best views and be the closest to the facilities and farthest from the main road). Also I’m not being not paid or anything to post this I just really love writing the kind of reviews I hope to see when looking for a place to stay on a trip!

Very sheik and great for the purpose! The gentleman on site is very helpful and friendly! You have a mattress covered in plastic which I loved. A mini fridge and a one cup coffee machine. Bring you a queen size sheet and pillows. Don’t forget your blanket! There’s amazing views. Just pray for a clear night. We’d come back over and over again.

It was overall a nice place to stay. The facilities were cleaned every day and the room was clean. The lighting in the room was horrible so bring good lights. You don't get service from the prosperity manger but if you want wood delivered to your camp site apparently they can do that. I don't recommend this campsite for people with balance issues. There was really big plus in our cabin, we had all the outlets you could ever want. I'm not sure about the other cabins.

Love this place. It's the way to camp! Sturdy a-frame 'tents' with electricity and heating/cooling. Bathhouse was clean and well maintained. Groundskeeper Richard was very nice and helpful. The views were gorgeous. 2 Adirondack type chairs and a small table at each site. Less than 1/2 hour to the Big Bend National Park entrance. Lots to see in the area.

Very cute little A-frame cabins. My issue was how HOT they were when we arrived. I wish I was being dramatic, but I felt like I was really close to having a heat stroke in the ten minutes we stayed after arriving waiting for the A/C to power up. After driving 9 hours to get here all we wanted was a little nap before dinner, but the heat made it impossible. The power kept cutting out whenever someone else checked in and turned their A/C on, which wasn’t helping the situation, so we left and came back when it was later in the day after it cooled. My suggestion would be to turn on the A/C’s a couple hours before check in for booked cabins if it’s blazing hot out. It would have been lovely to decompress on arrival, but it was a nice night after it cooled down. Loved the outdoor showers and they clean every morning so it’s very tidy. Cabins are spaced out so you don’t really hear your neighbors if you have any. Great views and lots of cute little bunnies hoping around too. Would definitely come back during the cooler months.

We had an absolutely amazing two-day stay at Ocotillos Village, and it was everything we hoped for and more! The A-Frames were beautifully maintained, cozy, and perfect for a peaceful getaway. The quiet atmosphere and stunning night skies made for an unforgettable experience—those stars were absolutely breathtaking. The bathrooms and showers were impressively clean, and one thing that really stood out was how well they kept up with pest control. We didn’t encounter any scorpions or other critters, which was a huge relief and made the stay even more enjoyable. While the A-Frames are small and best suited for two people, they’re incredibly charming. There’s one larger A-Frame that can accommodate up to four people, though we didn’t get a chance to stay in it. It’s worth noting that this place is such a gem that reservations tend to book out far in advance. Another highlight is its proximity to Big Bend National Park, which was also on our family’s bucket list. The combination of Ocotillos Village and Big Bend made for an incredible adventure. If you’re looking for a unique, tranquil retreat that offers an authentic connection to nature, Ocotillos Village is the perfect destination. We can’t recommend it enough!

To be fair, I loved the place. The rooms are comfortable, the bed was comfortable, and the restrooms and showers were clean. I am not sure what I was expecting when I booked this, but I didn't think it would be so close to the road. The lights from the cars passing by did the distract from the beauty of everything. Also, we just happened to be there when a duststorm rolled in. It was an interesting experience to say the least as the little a frame was shaking quite a bit. In the end, it withstood the strong winds and we came out unscathed. Will I stay here again? Definitely. But now I know what to expect.

Amazing views, super quiet, exceptionally clean, and the bathroom situation was actually kind of cool. Shout out to Rick, BEST host ever.
