El Cosmico
Because you can't camp out under your desk
802 S Highland Ave; Marfa, TX; 432.729.1950
While it's true there's nothing better than the unspoiled
beauty of pristine nature, it's also true that "where the
hell's the bathroom?". For a more accommodating nature trip,
visit Marfa's El Cosmico.
Recently opened by Austin lodging luminary Liz Lambert
(Hotel San Jose, St. Cecilia), Cosmico is an 18-acre, Keep
Marfa Weirder mix of retro-futuristic and luxe-primitive
campground accommodations that serves as an ultimately cozy
alternative to actually buying a tent and carrying out its
diabolical instructions. Centered around a hammock grove,
wood-fired dutch tubs and, soon, a swimming pool, sleeping
units start with 5 beautifully restored vintage trailers and
mobile homes, from the VW-looking 1951 "Royal Mansion", to
the 45ft 1956 "Imperial Mansion" with king bed and cedar
deck, to "The Vagabond": a 1953 teal-striped number with
indoor/outdoor showers (trailers are up to 100ft apart, so
if someone can see your bits...congratulations). To get more
rustic, go for a 115sq-ft. Mongol yurt with bamboo flooring,
thin water-proof linen walls, queen-sized futons, and
lantern lighting; a 22ft diameter tee-pee with a king futon
and fire-pit; or a rectangular wood-floored safari tent, for
those hunting the most dangerous game of all, Boggle.
If you're some sort of masochist, Cosmico does offer more
traditional camping options, i.e., a handful of leaves.
