THCU - Roadrunner RV Park

Terlingua was founded as a quicksilver mining town in the 1880s, but the mines (and town) were abandoned by 1942—rendering it a bonafide ghost town. Today, a small but vibrant community persists, and the river guides, retirees, artists, lost souls, seekers, prickly introverts, park rangers, and die-hard desert fanatics that make up the local community are a huge part of what makes Terlingua such a unique, fascinating place to experience.
