Our Location

Our Location

Big Bend Resort & Adventures is located just three miles south of the entrance to Big Bend National Park in Terlingua, Texas. Our resort features a motel with comfortable, budget friendly lodging of 77 rooms, an RV Park and campground with full hookups, popup camper sites with electric and water, and a tent camping area.

 

The sights seen from Big Bend Resort & Adventures are second to none.  Sit back and enjoy a panoramic view of Study Butte and the Terlingua area featuring spectacular sunrises and sunsets.  Off in the distance, sunlight plays with shadows on the Chisos Mountain range against a cobalt blue backdrop.  The geometry of the vertical cliffs of sheer limestone at the mouth of Santa Elena Canyon are spectacular from a distance, but pale in comparison to the social media-worthy views seen while hiking or kayaking through the canyon.
