This place is close to the park but at least an hour drive to Panther Junction. We pretty much had the place to ourselves for the week. We didn’t mind the drive because we preferred the privacy. Shower house was great. If you’re used to camping and using shower houses, you’ll be happy. If you prefer to be closer to the park and not drive 1+ hours daily, stay inside the park or Terlingua. We would stay here again.
