Stargazer's dream! The fenced family ranch is perched on high ground, surrounded by thousands of sparsely populated acres. Only 6 RV slots nestle against a backdrop of thick vegetation with walking trails. Electric, water and septic are available on site. We rent small cabins with kitchenettes, and offer outdoor cooking sites. Primitive camping is welcome, but restroom and showers are still under construction.
Turtle Ranch is a developing youth science center dedicated to wildlife and conservation. Our main attraction is two 180 lb tortoises, but there is a plethora of animals, wild and domestic. Our year round feeders attract whitetail deer, javelina, hogs, raccoons, coyotes, bobcats, armadillos, rodents and snakes. Our catch and release pond fish include catfish, smallmouth bass, alligator gar, perch and carp. The pond is a breeding area for red-eared slider turtles and a variety of non-venomous water snakes.
For bird watchers, the predominant species are roadrunners, dove, quail and blackbirds. The pond attracts cranes, a variety of ducks and other birds. The camping area supports a large cardinal population, woodpeckers and a wide variety of songbirds. The region also hosts green jays, hawks, owls and bald eagles.
The property is vegetated with mesquite trees, prickly pear cactus and other treacherous plants. All activities here-- including pond swimming-- are primitive, and risks are assumed by the adventurer. BBQ areas are provided, with mesquite wood. All fires must be in approved areas.
The Kickapoo Casino, the largest casino in Texas, is only 20 minutes away, as is the Port of Entry to Piedras Negras, one of the safest border towns in Mexico.
From Eagle Pass, follow 277 approximately 7 miles until a large cellular tower is visible on the left. Immediately before the tower, there is an arched entrance to the ranch labeled "Sunset Ranch Estates." Turn left through arch and follow that road until it ends at a t-intersection in front of a nice gate. Turn left again and drive approximately 1/2 a mile until there is a property on the left with several red buildings on the left. Turn in behind the solar panels.
Amazing place owned by stellar folks. Affordable, safe, beautiful and clean!
Small and quiet RV park. No noise from vehicle traffic or pedestrians nearby. Power, water, sewage hook up. Parking, pet friendly. Trash bin available. Quietness of the surrounding terrain makes it comforting.

One of the best RV parks I’ve visited. Friendly helpful owner. Cozy quite rustic environment. They have fishing, walking paths, pond and laundry amenities. Love this place!
Don't go here, there are so many rv parks in the area with much better amenities. I only stayed here bc i was too tired to drive. Our neighbors dogs got sick from construction materials that are laying about...then our dogs got sick, not sure why yet..but there were chemical pellets scattered all over our site on a shooting range. no bathrooms or showers. All residents are border patrol (def not a party spot) our site was lacking several tons of gravel so we had to deal with a bunch of mud. Tight parking. Not even close to an rv resort. A thorn bush was conveniently located next to our rig. Overpriced...not worth it
