StarStruck Glamping

Beautiful and surprisingly spacious accommodations in a beautiful setting. Really loved the amenities and was incredibly cozy. Fire pit was amazing and was a nice backdrop to stargazing. Only thing was that it took us a bit to locate the dome on our first night there, but everything else was amazing.

The dome was great. There is about 4 miles of an easy off-road drive to get to the domes. That is nice because one of our goals was to be in a dark remote location. The beds are comfortable. The AC/ heater worked well. I used the fire pit in the morning and evenings. East to start. It is about 30 minutes to the park entrance (about 60 minutes to the main visitor station.) My parents have some mobility issues, and the shower is easy to get in and out and large. We would go again.

We got to our dome late, 9:30, so we went straight in and opened the curtains (which are wonderfully black out when closed) back to reveal the night sky. The beds were super comfortable and the shower great. Upon waking in the morning we were amazed at the beautiful view and outside set up. We relaxed as the sun rose and then used the outdoor kitchen (all supplies were there) to cook breakfast. We had the best time, only downside was we didn’t stay longer. We can’t wait to go back and e joy this property again! Oh also, the customer service is fantastic! We forgot something and they contacted us and shipped it to our home in Austin. :)

We stayed at Starstruck mid-October and absolutely loved it!!! In our area, there were 4 domes moderately spaced so you didn’t feel too near to your neighbors. Make sure you have at least a small SUV and drive since the roads are very, very rocky. I stayed outside from 7p-10p and set alarms to get up at midnight, 3a and 7a (since sunrise wasn’t til 8a). It was amazing to see the Milky Way spread across the sky like a cosmic rainbow and to notice how the earth rotated when seeing the stars in different positions. If you want something off a main road, but with an isolated feel, this is the place to stay. Don’t even think about stargazing out the window. Grab a blanket, a cup of tea and head outside. Priceless.

This place was amazing! The dome was super comfortable and had everything we needed, but the real star (literally) was the night sky. I’ve never seen so many stars in my life — the Milky Way was crystal clear and we even caught a few shooting stars. The u it was very clean, luxurious and smelled amazing when we first walked in. It was peaceful, relaxing, and way more memorable than any regular hotel stay. Can’t wait to come back!

This place is absolutely amazing!!! October is a perfect month to visit! If you want peace and quiet this is where you want to go. Views are breathtaking and the dome is beautiful inside and out! Comfy beds and they supply everything you need. Stars were amazing to see! I would definitely visit again! Only thing I would complain about was the road getting there. Very very bumpy. Even in our suv it was rough. But well worth it!

In a word: Wow! A lot of thought was put into the placement of the domes which added to our privacy. Also, I noticed that the domes were facing in a south-easterly direction which made it even better at sunset/night when you don't have to stare at the setting sun waiting for the stars to come out. The dirt road from the highway leading to the domes is very bumpy and rocky. But we took it slow (5-10 mph) and our Toyota Camry handled it just fine. The dirt road is well marked making it very easy to find our way to the domes. As we waited for the sun to set, we found the outside lounge chairs comfortable. The fire pit was a nice addition. After the sun set, we were able to easily see tens of thousands of stars, the milky way, several moving satellites, and about a dozen or so meteorites ("shooting stars"). This was thrilling and made the 9 hour drive from Dallas totally worth it. Inside the domes, the bed was firm and comfortable. The A/C unit above the bed worked well. The drive from Alpine is about an hour and is beautiful. Being away from all the noise of everyday life, being so far away from everything yet having all the comforts of home, was really nice. We didn't want to leave! Being under class 1 dark skies on the Bortle scale, I highly recommend this experience.

Great view of the natural surroundings! The dome was well designed and the bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately it was cloudy both nights so we didn’t see a single star. There was a thunderstorm early one evening that was impressive to watch . FYI, there is only one fork and the toaster doesn’t work. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Waited and watched this place for 2 years on IG and we finally got to experience SSG domes! I cannot believe this is basically in our backyard here in Texas! The 360° views, the stunning landscape, the stillness, the stars!! The entire set up out here just blew us away and beat our expectations! Camping (Glamping) in the desert on the backside of the Maverick Mountains was Just spectacular! The domes had everything you could want and then some in terms of camping but without suffering. Lol! There are 4 domes so you have "neighbors", but they are 200+ feet away. You hear nothing but an occasional yipping grip of coyotes, the crickets, the beautiful sunrises with just the birds as the sun comes up over the horizon. Beds and pillows were amazing so comfortable we slept like babies. They offer a cute little kitchenette off to the side with Keurig, microwave and those cute vintage freezer/fridges on Instagram. Boho Arizona chic decor, the shower is beautiful done with a full bathroom set up. A cute modular clothes rack for luggage and clothes. A telescope for watching the Milky Way (which you don't even need because you can see it all with the naked eye. We saw shooting stars all night long. If you like falling asleep under a blanket of stars on a double chaise bed by the fire and not a care in the world this is your kinda place! This is a Protected Dark Sky area where there is literally zero light pollution...but you're only 26 minutes to nearest town. Alpine just up the road and Terlingua down south 25 mins near the Big Bend National Park! Cannot wait to come back!!!

WE stayed here for 2 nights and lets just say that we didn't want to leave! What an experience and absolutely different from what our family have done in past vacations. The owners are incredible kind, responsive and want to make sure you have everything you need. This was truly a memorable place and will never forget the stars at night......it was like glitter thrown into the night sky....it was beyond spectacular! The beds are comfortable, the bathroom and shower were great and the place was very clean. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to "think outside the box" while staying near Big Bend but not into "camping". They truly do Glamping in style! Thank you so much for creating a space that anyone can enjoy that is unique and fun:)
