Sauceda Ranch at Big Bend State Park

This working ranch offers visitors a place to sit back and enjoy the back country of the state park in comfort. You can make reservations to stay at the "Big House", or reserve one of the bunks at the larger ranch quarters. Either way Sauceda is a welcome refuge from the hostile ( but beautiful ) environment of the desert.
