“I took my son to the Rocket Ranch for his high school graduation gift to see flight 12 of starship. We had the time of our lives thanks to the staff at the ranch! … If you want to visit Starbase and gain access to the best views, the best knowledge, and the best people- Rocket Ranch is the only way to go!”

“Just the most amazing place to watch Starship/Superheavy launches from. … nothing compares with the wonderful PEOPLE of Rocket Ranch. We’ve been for two launches (and tried other places before) and we’ll never view from anywhere else. Such a wonderful community of folks that genuinely care about their guests (we feel like family!)”

STARSHIP LAUNCH VIEWING & CAMPING ON THE RIO GRANDE.
Rocket Ranch Starbase is a unique space community nestled in the southernmost tip of Texas. Due to the curves in the river, we are literally south of the border. The SpaceX Starship factory and launch pad at Starbase are a 9.7-mile drive away; our Outpost viewing site sits approximately 3.7 miles from the pad in a straight line.
This rugged terrain is where the last battle of the Civil War was fought and is now a wildlife preserve, home to hundreds of species of birds. Only a short drive to one of Texas’ most secluded beaches.
Come for the rocket. Stay for the river, the birds, and the people who flew in for the same reason you did.
