We take reservations online only. We are a management company that manages four companies. You can search availability for all properties at each company by date here – All Properties Dates Search or view the calendars with a pull-down menu for each company here – All Properties Calendar Search.
You can also search for availability and book directly with each individual company from the calendars provided through these links – Basecamp Terlingua, Bubble Terlingua, Adventure Terlingua and Agave Terlingua. A breakdown of the accommodations at each company:
Basecamp Bubbles, Casa Azul, Casa Topo Chico, Casa Adobe and Rafiki Ridge are Basecamp Terlingua accommodations and you can find availability here – Basecamp Terlingua. Bubble Terlingua has ten Two Room Bubbles and you can find availability here –Bubble Terlingua. The Luxury Tipis, Lotus Tents, Nomad Tipi, Casa Agave, Ocotillo Suite and tent campsites are Adventure Terlingua accommodations and you can find availability here – Adventure Terlingua. Casa Patron, Casa Anejo, Casa Blanco and Casa Tranquilo are Agave Terlingua accommodations and you can find availability here – Agave Terlingua.
Our Bubbles are insanely popular and are usually booked months in advance. We have 7 Bubbles at Basecamp Terlingua and 10 Bubbles with Bubble Terlingua. The easiest way to find availability is by clicking here for the Bubbles at Basecamp Terlingua or here for the Bubbles at Bubble Terlingua. The calendars are updated immediately when we get a cancellation. If you don’t see availability on the calendar, we don’t have any availability. We are unable to keep a waitlist and we do not have any secret openings. 🙂
If you’re looking to book both Bubble 1 and 2, more than one Bubble on Bubble Mountain (Bubble X2, X3, X4) or more than one Bubble with Bubble Terlingua, please email us at info@basecampterlingua.com to see when multiple Bubbles are available on the same day.

We provide self check-in information to your email 7 days prior to your arrival with directions and access information. “Self Check-in” means that you’re given the information necessary to arrive at your property on your own. This is especially helpful if you’re planning a late arrival: no need to be here at any specific time! Please make sure you have the check-in information before you make the drive to Terlingua. If you can’t find your check-in information be sure to check your “junk” or “spam” folder.
Checkout is by 10 a.m., Central time.
We have a self check-in process that allows folks to come any time they’d like. No need to check in with us if you’re expecting a late arrival. However, if it is your first time in the area we do encourage you to arrive before dark.

We do not allow RVs, campers or trailers to be parked at most of our Basecamp, Adventure and Agave properties due to the nature of our roads and tight parking areas. However, Bubble Terlingua has ample room for RVs. If in doubt, contact us at info@basecampterlingua.com.
We pay for the fastest service available in the Big Bend region. All of our properties, including the tipis, are equipped with WiFi routers. This does not in any way guarantee internet will be available for your stay, however, we will do our best to fix internet issues before 5pm. We are incredibly remote (which is probably why you’re coming to visit us!) and county-wide outages are a real thing.
