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.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
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.

Tepees are similar in size to the yurts, but their amenities differ slightly. Guests will enjoy a heated mattress pad, loveseat, and small daybed.

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.
