Where to stay/ Play in and around events

Terlingua, TX (The Big Bend)

There are great places to stay, play and eat in and around Terlingua and lots of places to hike, bike, raft/ kayak, pick some music with friends, stargaze, chill . . .  

Whether this is your first trip to the Big Bend or a favorite destination, please remember to be mindful of the place itself, people's private property and the fragility of this precious landscape. Bring lots of water. (Think you're bringing enough? Bring more). If you're allergic to any type of stings, bring your remedies. Fill up your car with gas in Alpine or Presidio. While there's one station here in the Terlingua area, they can run out (especially during the holidays, spring break, etc.). The Terlingua Trading Company has a great "walking map" of the Ghost Town. Barton Warnock Visitor Center and Desert Sports have great information about the area in general (be sure to check out Desert Sports for bike trails and river trips, too).
