    Marfa is such a weird little town and El cósmico really adds to that. The shower and restroom amenities were great and staff was very friendly.

    Not much of a gripe at all. Just be prepared to walk everywhere because they want to keep cars and vehicles of any kind off of the campground so just be mindful of that if you have any issues walking for prolonged period of time.

    Great staff, great location, unique accommodations and rich history.

    You have to remember they are actual vintage trailers so the door while it locked, wasn’t able to completely close same with the bathroom and our AC didn’t work but it was so chilly at night that we didn’t care and they even gave us a discount and a couple free Topo chicos for our trouble.

    Such a cute Marfa type glamping experience. Loved the front porch with a table, the grounds including hammocks, grills, cute little gift shop, fun bathrobes and linens. The place is just as cute and off-beat as Marfa itself.

    El Cosmico was a great stay. We stayed in a really cute & cozy trailer and enjoyed it. El Cosmico even had some bands play at night so we got to meet other guests and hang out. It was a cool & fun atmosphere and definitely the vibe you go to Marfa for. We absolutely loved it! And, it’s walking distance to restaurants and bars in town.

    The prices for most of the items in the gift shop are astronomical. Prices are, overall, a bit high in every category. But the vibe is excellent! Also, from the Jupe we rented, we could hear too much traffic going by the main road that runs by El Cosmico.

    Love the atmosphere. The staff were all fantastic. Love all the decorative trailers and other places that could be rented.

    In cool weather, the heated mattress pad is a must. Unfortunately, the controls were reversed so my friend was burned while I froze. The hot tubs had no privacy- right on the path by the back door. Seems spendy for a place with outdoor bathrooms and showers.

    Great hippie vibe

    In the cold months the unheated safari tents can get very cold, and the bath facilities are limited. Come prepared as Marfa can get very cold.

    Cool, Austin-music vibe. Seems well run.

    Even factoring in the "roughing it a bit" vibe (is the whole point), our bed in the camper was a bit "too" uncomfortable. Probably needs either a new mattress or correction to the box support. No biggie.

    Fun and kitchy, several options of kinds of "off the grid" feel. So retro.

    Nothing.

    The location is fantastic and the experience was unique. I slept in a tent. You need to use ear plug as the isolation can’t be the same as in a regular hotel room. And it was a little bit cold at night. But the bed was absolutely amazing, could have been a bed from a 5 stars hotel. Sharing the bathroom is also an experience but it’s fun. The decoration has been done with an amazing test. I highly recommend the experience.

    Having to park so far from the accommodation, wished that there was some parking hubs close to the rooms.

    It was quirky, loved staying in a trailer and the air con was a blessing. In a small town like Marfa it was great to have something different and this place was definitely different (in a good way)h

    The Safari tents were too hot. As per above, they should not be available to rent at this time of year, with no AC, its probably quite dangerous with that heat.

    I LOVED this campground. The location was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. I travelled with my puppy and we really enjoyed our stay. The stars amazing to look at from outside my room. One thing I missed, which is probably on me, is that there is no AC in the Safari tents, and in July/August this simply isnt sustainable. It was too hot to be in there at any point between 10am- 8pm so I paid the cost to upgrade. I personally dont think these should be available to rent during these months. However, I was given a discount to upgrade which I appreciated. Overall a great stay!

    It was a little noisy at night (the trains sounding their horns as they came into Marfa and the cars passing on the road), but that’s to be expected when you’re sleeping in a tent and it didn’t ruin our stay.

    Amazing location, eclectic decor and good vibes all around. We also enjoyed the live music on the Friday night of our stay.

    Unfortunately, we got caught in a rare heavy rain storm. I was expecting that since it was a campground, we could just drive up to our site, like how most campgrounds are set up. That was not the case. It was a separate parking lot. We had to make multiple trips in the pouring rain to the car, so keep that in mind while packing. While the shared bathrooms and showers were about what I expected for a glamping experience, I wish the canvas that was for privacy extended to the re-bar frames so outsiders couldn't see in so easily.

    Location was excellent. Store was very well curated, but expensive. Morning coffee was delicious. Staff were very helpful. The beds, even in the most basic tent accommodations, were extremely comfortable. The shared bathrooms had nice hot water.
