Camp Elena is an awesome way to experience the Chihuahuan Desert and Big Bend National Park. It is a luxury refuge in the middle of the desert that will allow you to relax and reset in such beautiful circumstances. No detail has been left to chance.|| The “tents” are absolutely amazing, with great views, fully climate controlled, a deck equipped with a propane grill and a high-powered telescope to enjoy the night sky. All the lighting is dimmable, so you can enjoy the dark skies. Just outside your tent is your own private fire pit too.|||The bathroom is very sleek and well laid out, plus you have essentially a full kitchen, miniaturized. The bedding is amazing. The decor fits the landscape so beautifully. You're in a tent, but you have all the luxuries of home. |||| The caretakers are very responsive. There is nothing that you will want from a stay at Camp Elena, other than to stay longer. ||||I was here during a big storm where the entire town of Terlingua lost power, but because this property is solar powered — We never lost power, nor did we lose internet service. That is pretty amazing, for such a remote area. ||I was a solo traveler, and despite the “remoteness” I felt extremely comfortable staying at this property. So if you're planning a trip to Big Bend, there's no place better to stay than Camp Elena.

We had the most wonderful family stay at Camp Elena! I had been wanting to go there for awhile and it exceeded all our expectations. Even with a night heavy on wind we felt safe in our tent and loved our stay. The views were unreal, it was very private, and the tent was ultra luxury with well appointed furnishings and amenities. We cooked/bbq both nights in and it was so peaceful eating on the deck at sunset. I’m recommending it to everyone. The tent had more space than expected and fit our family of four well. The suite tent was brand new and gorgeous. We had tent 7 and we loved our view, we were partial to thinking we had the best tent but I’m sure the others were lovely too. Can’t wait to go back!

Camp Elena is a gem in the desert! We were looking for a place to stay near Big Bend and this place is IT! The “tent” is large with a really great king size bed. The kitchen is perfect and the shower works better than most places we’ve stayed. |We are in #3 with an unrestricted easterly view of the mountains. It is currently 30 degrees F outside and we are enjoying the propane heater, it’s keeping the tent nice and warm. (of course it was 85 degrees yesterday- gotta love Texas weather!) The patio is so nice to chill on in the evenings and has a gas grill. We have used the fire pit every night. |We are definitely off the beaten path which is really nice, but close enough to pop down to Terlingua for dinner. We also made dinner and stayed in last night. Very romantic hideaway.|The Hosts have provided everything with some delightful touches, including a telescope to view the incredible stars. There might be closer places to stay to Big Bend, but none better. |PS - my wife says the Aesop soap products are divine!

My wife and I stayed at Camp Elena in March, 2025. We had a fantastic time. The amenities were first class and super comfortable. Also, very cool to stay in a tent. We felt like the hosts anticipated all our needs. The views from the porch were awesome. We will definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay at Camp Elena. It's in a great location to access to both Big Bend National and State parks. The tent was spacious and comfortable with quality linens and soaps. We had everything we needed to make breakfasts inside and to roast smores outside! The views and accommodations were fantastic!

Camp Elena was awesome. We stayed in Tent #4 for 2 nights. The written directions and signage helped us navigate once off the main road( screenshot or print ahead of time). The kitchen is awesome, so make sure you bring provisions! Grill, stovetop, microwave, and drawer-style fridge/ freezer(see picture). We had some high wind advisories, but the tent felt safe and strong. The bathroom was just like a hotel. It had shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion necessities. 20 minutes from Big Bend NP west entrance. We had one family with kids that were loud at times but understandable. It is a tent, so if the neighbor is loud, it can dampen the mood. Reminders to families with small kids to keep the noise down would be highly recommended.

I’ve been to Big Bend countless times, and this is by far the best place I’ve ever stayed! The tents are clean, and the bathrooms are really nice. All of the amenities are upscale and great quality. You can tell the owner put a lot of thought into each part of the layout. There’s definitely no corners cut. The views are spectacular and the camp feels very safe. I’ve already recommended this place to many of my friends. So excited to stay again in the future!

Camp Elena made a tent-like structure feel luxurious. We came here for peace and solitude and that’s exactly what they provided. The view out the window was beautiful. The room is so clean and cozy. We are already looking forward to a return trip. Don’t hesitate to stay here.
