Question 1

How far are you from the park and other areas of interest?

Accepted Answer

- 25 miles to the west entrance station of Big Bend National Park (roughly 30 minutes)
- 26 miles to Terlingua Ghost Town (roughly 31 minutes)
- 12 miles to Terlingua Ranch Lodge (roughly 20 minutes)
- 21 miles to the nearest gas station in Study Butte (roughly 25 minutes)

Question 2

Do you allow dogs?

Accepted Answer

We love pets, but Javelina Hideout does not allow pets. Big Bend National Park’s trails and backcountry areas do not allow dogs (NPS pet rules), and we don’t want guests to risk breaking the rules or missing out on park adventures.  Even short outings can turn into longer adventures with hikes, traffic, or simply enjoying the park, making it challenging to care for a pet.

Keeping JH pet-free ensures a safe, stress-free, and relaxing experience for all guests.

Question 3

Can I have a campfire?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can have a campfire with the following in mind:

- You will need provide your own firewood.  It's best to bring it from home, as wood is a rare resource in the desert and very expensive.  It can be purchased in town, but it's very pricey.
- You will need to keep your campfire within the provided fire ring.
- Please be sure that ALL coals are extinguished prior to retiring for the evening.  If the wind picks up (which it frequently does), this can disperse hot coals into the desert and start a fire.

Question 4

Is there WIFI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have fiber optic internet with very fast upload/download speeds and over 99% uptime.   We also have a dedicated desk with a large monitor for guest use.

Question 5

Can I use Google Maps to navigate to the property?
