More Travel Less Talk

Host with a control problem. Demanded to know our ETA days in advance. Entered the yurt while we were away, a huge invasion of privacy. Complained about a potential hole in the tent that was already patched up 5 times. Harassed by Airbnb messages and personal contact information. We didn't even stay our entire stay and left early to get away from them. I honestly don't know what we were paying for? The queen bed was on the door with the thinnest pillows that still smelled like sunscreen from a previous guest. I guess there's so little out there that they obsess over minute details, they are a megalomaniac. It's not as close to the peak as described so your fine staying in Dell City, Van Horn, or Carlsbad. The drive won't be much worse tbut your experience could be better. I would have rather slept in my car. Do not recommend.Additional thoughts: These people do not need to be in hospitality. Please read their response to our honest review for a gimpse of their behavior. They are manipulative and rude. I am 9 months sober there are no beer cans or soda. We had water and protein bars in the yurt. They entered the property and took photos while we were away. A HUGE violation of privacy. That's why we left, because we didn't feel safe. Yurt has no way to be secured and is literally held together with Velcro and staples. Not to mention that they also closed up the windows partially while we were gone.The interior of the yurt was not large enough to accommodate me, that's why I moved your plasterboard paper-machete nightstand out of the way. There's also no warning or indication by Airbnb to not move around the cheap tasteless wal mart furniture. I'm 6 foot 2 and had to crouch around to not hit my head. There are several patches in the yurt. It's a glorified carnival tent that's not worth your time or money.

Amazing stay! Awesome and super thoughtful hosts. We stayed in one of the yurts, which was somewhere between a tent and a cabin- very clean, nice beds, very secure. The peace and quiet is great. Definitely plan to come early to watch the sunset and linger for a relaxed breakfast at your picnic table for morning coffee. We brought some of our camping gear (camp stove, etc) which worked well. Highly recommend. Hosts could not be nicer.

Wonderful little campground in Salt Flat Texas. If you are visiting the Guadalupe National Park this is one of the closest campgrounds around besides Pine Springs which fills up quickly. is first come first serve. Anyway Raymond and Andrea are amazing host and would love to have you stay. They offer tent camping, a yurt and RV sports on their 26 spacious acres. Do you like stars, sunrises and sunsets? By golly they have them here and they are magical. Each site is nestled away just far enough that you enjoy peace and quiet. Each site comes with a barbecue grill and your very own fire pit that Raymond personally cleans every day and replenishes with firewood. Also a table with a container of fresh drinking water and a container with water to wash dishes with a trash can at your site. There are 2 very clean restrooms within walking distance of each site. Now I will say make a list and check it twice because Dell city is the closest thing around and they don't have much take it from experience. El Paso is 80 Mi West, Van Horn is 60 Mi South and Carlsbad is about 70 miles east so pack accordingly. Pets are also welcome here. So if you're in the area and looking for a place to camp and stay while you hike Guadalupe National Park this is where I'd go. Get out there and explore. Happy hiking and camping.
