Camp Elena - Ocotillo Tent 1

Welcome to Camp Elena! We are located less than 10 miles from Big Bend National Park and just minutes from Terlingua Ghost Town. Our tents offer a back-to-the-wild, luxury glamping experience with breathtaking views of the Chisos and Christmas Mountain Ranges and The World's Largest Dark Sky Reserve. Relax and unwind during a couple's getaway or group retreat while enjoying modern and sustainable amenities in the Texas Wild West.

SUSTAINABILITY
Embrace the off-grid experience as our glamping retreat operates on solar power. Our furniture and amenities are almost all FSC-certified, GOTS-Certified, handmade, and/or second-hand finds. A portion of the proceeds from each stay goes to Big Bend Conservancy to preserve, enrich, and conserve the unique resources of Big Bend National Park.

WEATHER/AC
Each tent has a split AC/heat unit that provides year-round temperature control of the bed area, and a large, radiant propane heater for additional warmth in winter months. There's also a large ceiling fan in the bedroom for an extra breeze, and we provide a fleece blanket and electric blanket in the winter. Do note that because they are uninsulated canvas tents, the indoor temperatures will never match the levels of a fully insulated home.

You can find average outdoor temperatures on Big Bend National Park's website, and we always recommend checking the weather conditions right before you travel to the area.

Our aim is to provide an authentic experience in the great outdoors while being as comfortable as possible in tented lodging.

SELF CHECK-IN
We are a self check-in property, do not provide daily housekeeping, and do not have staff on site but have property managers that live a few minutes away and are available to help with any guest needs.

The Camp Elena Ocotillo Tent 1 was impressive!! We weren't completely sure what to expect but this was glamping at it's finest! Having access to a small fridge, microwave, coffee and a sink worked out great for us. The bathroom was impeccable and had a lovely spa-type feel. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the blankets very warm and cozy, which made for a great nights sleep! The attached patio and grill were also very nice and we sat out there a good bit. We also enjoyed the firepit and seating area. All in all, this was a great stay and the step-by-step instructions along with pictures to help guide us to the precise location were very welcomed! Oh, the in-tent guide with information on the tent, local spots, local plants, animals, etc., was fantastic as was the QR code guide to find where to purchase select items in the tent! We will be back!
