El Cosmico Is A Quirky Yurt Campground In The Remote West Texas Desert
Even though we Texans have perfected the art of primitive tent camping, sometimes it’s nice to experience something a few steps above. El Cosmico, a nomadic hotel and campground in the remote West Texas town of Marfa, fits the bill just right. With several different overnight accommodations – including authentic Mongolian yurts – you’ll become one with the expansive desert night sky.
El Cosmico is a 21-acre nomadic hotel and campground nestled in the mystical high desert of West Texas. It offers temporary liberation from modern civilization and, consequently, serves as a second home for wanderers from all over the globe.
Mongolian yurts are one of many lodging options. Other accommodations include tepees, trailers, safari tents, cabins, and a spacious lawn area for tent setup.
22 feet in diameter, the yurts feature wood flooring, a queen bed, writing desk, sofa, electricity, and A/C. Fresh linens and towels for use in the community bathhouse are also provided.
Shared spaces like an outdoor kitchen, hammock grove, mercantile, and stage encourage guests to intermingle. You can also rent a wood-fired hot tub and bikes to explore the town!
Each safari tent measures 120 square feet across and durable canvas walls and doors. They come equipped with queen beds, a chair, simple lighting, electricity, and heated blankets during winter.
No matter which accommodation you choose, El Cosmico strikes a perfect balance between "roughing it" and glamping - not to mention the absolutely magical starry night skies that will be forever burned into your memory.
