The road getting to it is pretty rough.

Everything was absolutely perfect. What a great experience.

There was nothing that we didn’t like. The property owner definitely pays attention to details and adds a luxury flare! The robes were perfect! The bathroom towels are very large and plush which we loved, but too large for wrapping wet hair after shower! For women, another little extra touch might include a turby twist hair wrap. Another small thing we noticed was the bright display on the AC units. A soft eye mask for sleeping would have been amazing! This property was perfect for our 26th wedding anniversary and we have already shared our wonderful experience with friends who like to travel. Well done Camp Elena!

It was nice how they paid attention to details. The telescope, the fire pit, earplugs, differing types of hand soap, and cleanser, various areas where guest could gather.

Wish we would have used the grill or fire pit provided but due to the wind (nothing Camp Elena could control) we were unable to.

We loved everything about Camp Elena, very beautiful place. The bed was very comfortable, had all the necessities to cook meals, the toiletries were great quality. We would definitely stay here again, the location was perfect. Close to BBNP entrance, Terelingua is definitely a ghost town! But with all the necessities just a short drive. Very remote, you will travel a dirt road to get to camp Elena but do not require high clearance vehicle but definitely a bit bumpy. Keep in mind this is a tent, so we heard the wind, but not a deal breaker. Camp Elena provides ear plugs but we didn’t need them. Camp Elena has nice touches like robes, book with recommendations & instructions, welcoming with some treats. There is a heater provided, we stayed in May, not needed. Has A\C unit, keeps it cool enough, using this, ceiling fan and small portable fan. Overall, a great retreat after long hot days of hiking… wish we stayed longer.

A carport would be nice.

The beds were comfortable.

Worth to keep in mind that though it looks close to Terlingua on the map, it's around a 15-minute dirt road drive in reality. So expect like a 30 minutes round trip if you go in for breakfast or supplies. Also, don't underestimate the force of the night winds in the desert; the tents almost seem to amplify them to a point where it can sound like a storm is going on outside. Still, this is part of the glamping arrangement in my opinion and earplugs work well.

As glamping go, this was 10/10. Great facility, well-equipped, modern and clean, while still feeling a lot like a large tent. Comes with excellent coffee beans and grinder, and both drip and french press to suit your tastes. Great views, and comfortable bed.

Everything was top notch h.

This was a great location and beautiful scene wet! We cooked steaks and enjoyed the view. I have already recommended to my friends.

The location was perfect, the tent was beautiful, comfortable and well designed. Even though it got very cold in the 30s two nights we were comfortable with the gas heater on and the heated blankets were a nice touch that certainly helped. If you’re hoping to see a lot of stars, try to align your trip with a smaller moon. We learned this the hard way, we had a waxing gibbous and it was so bright that we didn’t see a ton of stars. You can also wake up and try to stargaze once the moon sets but we were too tired after hiking for that!

Noisy night due to high winds. But you're clamping. It's all part if the adventure! Property owners did warn guests of high winds and that tents would hold up. And it DID!

Location, most comfortable bed ever, provided earplugs for windy nights, Excellent communication with guests Great views of mountains and sunrise from room/deck.

The long drive to get in was rough and would not want to do it without 4 wheel drive but we had 4 wheel drive so that was OK.

It was so unique. Wonderful bath towels. Bath robes. Snacks waiting. The bathroom was great with great lighting. Main room was very comfortable.

Exceptional views, quiet, and relaxing stay. Very close to Big Bend National Park.

Hope that the 4 new cabins being built doesn’t change the supremely quiet atmosphere.

Wonderful to sit on our balcony with breakfast watching the sun rise over the silent desert. The private cabin had everything for a perfect stay - even fresh coffee and olive oil in the kitchen. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful property with everything you need for a relaxing peaceful stay. Our kids raved about how comfortable the bed was.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Beautifully equipped and comfortable, with stunning views of mountain and sky. Cool, despite the heat. Wished we could have stayed longer!

There's nothing to dislike! I can't think of anything that would have made our stay better.

Amazing Texas desert aesthetic tent with a beautiful tiny kitchen and bathroom. Perfect for our one night getaway to Big Bend National Park. We ate dinner outside before sunset and enjoyed the stars for hours after dark. The dark skies were incredible. There's a fire pit but we didn't use it due to the heat. Otherwise, that would have been a big bonus. The bed was ridiculously comfortable with nice sheets and pillows. The bathroom was immaculate and well stocked with sundries and robes. The kitchen had everything we needed to prep dinner and snacks. I really appreciated the coffee with the choice of French press or pour over. Even though it was August, the small air conditioner and fan kept us cool enough until the sun went down. Unzip the side panel for a beautiful sunrise view! Very close to the historic cemetery and Starlight Theater.

Everything was amazing and helped my wife and I reconnect

Can not think of making it better. We did not see the hammocks and common area until the morning of our departure. Wish we had seen it and enjoyed night there.

We went to nearby restaurants for breakfast and it was delicious. We stayed for two nights. Loved to look at the stars. Loved to silence.

Nothing it’s was amazing

The location was great ! In the middle of of everything in Teralingua.Secluded and gorgeous views. Roads are like a warm up for overland trails loved loved loved it!!

Stayed in April 2024

The road to get there was a little hairy. An SUV or 4- wheel drive is needed. The grill blew over in the wind and spilled propane all over the deck. A lamp would be useful in the sitting area.

Quiet, peaceful location. Beautiful stars. Birds and coyotes outside. Luxurious touches in bedroom and kitchen.

No. 4 tent gets the worst wind and the tent ties needed to be secured better. Our first night we were kept up all night by the banging. It was a miserable night.

Cool tent. Reminded me of Arica. Nice amenities.

We couldn't make the telescope work but probably user error.

There was a lot of thought put into those tents. Really cool construction and thank God it withstands the wind!
