Ocotillos Village

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.

Love this option. Bare necessities for a fair price. A-frame huts face east for great sunrise pictures. Very nice place. No hassle from anybody. AC works great. Close to the park.

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.

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!

If the wind is blowing at night you may not be able to sleep. It sounds like a haunted house in there. We paid for 2 nights and stayed one. The guy running the place is great though.

We stayed here for one night and it was an amazing experience. The night sky is terrific as Terlingua is a ghost town. The A frame is equipped with very minimal things - a queen bed, fridge and a Keurig coffee maker. Bring your own sheets, pillows, cups, utensils and flash light (a must). The shared bathrooms are well kept and is not too far away from any of the A frames. People mentioned about the sound of the road and so we booked Aquila towards the end and I'm glad we did that. It was very peaceful at night. Glamping in the desert was one of a kind experience.

This was a terrific glamping experience. Everything was clean units are spaced far enough away from each other. They help you get firewood. Rick who attends the property had some terrific life stories to share. Close to stores and restaurants if you don’t was to cook. Unit is air-conditioned and also has a coffee maker and a fridge. Mattresses are high-quality memory foam.

The care taker of the place gave me a nice tour. Very kind person. Gave me a great tip: gas stations can run out of gas around here and stations are far and few between. Gas up every day!
