The float was a hoot, and the scenery incredible. We did a half-day trip, but we felt that the time just flew by. Next time we'll do a whole-day trip for sure. They also gave great recommendations on food and other trips in the Terlingua/Big Bend area. This is a well-run operation, and everything went smoothly.

Our trip was only confirmed a day…read moreprior because this particular trip has water dependency, since the water had been low so they couldn't tell if we were able to do it. But there was a heavy rain two days before our trip so we were very lucky to be able to do this. The booking is very easy, receptionist always returns your call. And our tour guy is so funny and kept us entertained all day. We didn't have to do anything just sit back and enjoy the view, he does all the work for us. There are small rapids but nothing would rock the boat. Highly recommend this route since you are cruising through international river and one side is Mexico one side of the canyon is America. It's just amazing to see the canyon from the water and with changing scenery throughout the whole trip.

My wife and I booked the Rubicon wrangler a month out from June 3rd, 2026. We've both been to the…read moreBig Bend region and National Park more times than we can count, but this time we wanted to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary doing things we'd never done. We'd experienced all the 4x4 primitive roads in the NP so this time we wanted to try the SP. Our chosen trail was Fresno Canyon and our Big Bend Jeep was more than equipped to do the job! The morning of pickup we were immediately greeted by Austin and shown to "Ruby," a new white Rubicon X with 6K miles. After very minimal housekeeping details we were on our way to the state park as we had a long trip before even getting on the trail. We passed two vehicles on their way out of the park and did not see another soul the rest of the day! The weather and road conditions ended up being perfect for our off-roading adventure! Even though Fresno Canyon is rated as easy (3/10), it's the SP's roughest trail. And there are a few dicy areas but Big Bend Jeep's "Ruby" took 'em like a champ! In the upper canyon portion there's a pretty gnarly steep, loose-rock descent. Once in the lower canyon, there are some narrow and off-camber sections. Soft sand and exposed rocks demand careful line selection to avoid bottoming out. We traversed all of this confidently with no cell signal or others around in this solid jeep! The handling and 4H/4L power definitely made this trail a breeze. A couple recommendations for Big Bend Jeep or patrons is to come prepared with a good air compressor to air down/up the tires and a decent farm jack (we had the factory jack in our jeep) just in case. After driving past other outfits in Terlingua offering jeep rentals, Big Bend Jeep's selection was far better than the rest. And it's much more convenient than renting/picking up in Marathon or Alpine, especially when attempting to do such long trips in a day! We will definitely return for more rugged adventures! Thanks Lauren and Austin for an anniversary excursion we'll never forget!

The owner had to re-arrange several reservations to get us a site we'd not have to change during our almost 2-week stay.

Now, when you consider where it is located in Study Butte/Terlingua, no RV Park here can beat it because of the dust issues and the wonderful views. I posted this if you are considering coming here from somewhere beyond the desert, you'll not find a nicer campground other than in the Chisos basin. And those are not so nice because they are so close together. They just aren't dusty. Final word: when you come to the desert, you going to get some dust. But I love it here

We spent the weekend staying at Bubble 2 at Basecamp. The original plan was to use base camp to go…read moreto Marfa and Big Bend across two days but we ended up spending both days in Marfa. It's about two hours from Marfa to TeraLingua so I would not recommend it. It's more of a stop enroute to Big Bend. If you have an EV, note that the nearest Supercharger is in Alpine. The turn off into base camp was a dirt road with several steep hills. No issues with any well maintained cars but just be aware. The whole area seemed like a scene out of Mad Max with the tipis and junk vehicles around to be honest. A ways down the dirt road was a turn off that was the parking area for Bubble One and Bubble Two. Bubble two is the more secluded one because nothing is viewable from the other bubble for the walk way towards the bubble. The bubble itself as well as the fire pit is secluded from eyes. Bubble one, you can see the fire pit from the walk way. The bubble is actually two bubbles, one for the main bedroom and one for the bathroom. Main room had the AC unit, queen sized bed, two end tables with lamps, two chairs, and one coffee table. The entry way "or airlock" had the Kruger coffee maker, Berkey water filter, and mini fridge. The quality of the furnishings is very nice. It didn't seem cheap or dirty at all. The bed, pillows, and comforter were soft and luxurious to the touch. The toilet looked spotless and the shower area was super clean. Definitely fits the definition of Glamping! Now the thing that everyone comes for -- the amazing view! At night you can see all the stars through the bubble overhead as you lay in bed! If the moon comes up it will diminish the visibility of the stars. Moonless nights are the best for star viewing. The bubble faces east so we got to see the colorful sun rise, although blocked partially by mountains. I highly recommend this as a relaxing experience, especially if you don't like camping outside.
